“The disbeliever west will see our power through the jihad of sincere
people and the sacrifice of monotheists. We will be generous in
shedding your dirty blood unless you embrace Islam or give the jizyah.”Where did these hijackers of the peaceful faith of Islam get this twisted, Islamophobic idea?
Could it have been from the Qur’an?
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, and do not forbid what has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and do not acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
“ISIS Group Puts Crosshairs on Vegas Hotel in Threat to Shed ‘Dirty Blood,'” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, January 24, 2018:
An ISIS-supporting media group threatened another Vegas-style massacre in a new propaganda image, yet zeroed in on a Strip hotel other than the Mandalay Bay.
“The disbeliever west will see
our power through the jihad of sincere people and the sacrifice of
monotheists. We will be generous in shedding your dirty blood unless you
embrace Islam or give the jizyah,” states the message, referencing a
tax paid by non-Muslims. “However, Las Vegas’ massacre is not far from
you.”
The poster distributed online
includes a shadowy backdrop of masked jihadists carrying an ISIS flag,
hovering over a photo from the Vegas strip. The words “Las Vegas,”
crosshairs and flames are positioned over the Planet Hollywood Resort
& Casino.
The threat was distributed by the Wafa’ Media Foundation, which released numerous threats during the holiday season.
A November poster showed smoke
rising from Rome with a fighter jet overhead and a jihadist standing
next to the sort of makeshift armored vehicle ISIS uses for suicide
bombings in Iraq and Syria. “The date is approaching o worshippers of
the cross,” stated the message on the image.
Wafa’ released a Vatican “wolf”
image, with a backpack, rocket-propelled grenade and rifle at the
jihadist’s side as storm clouds gathered over a twilight St. Peter’s
Square. In a message to fellow jihadists, the group noted that “the
crusaders’ feast is approaching.”
In another instance, Wafa’ circulated a poster depicting a vehicle moving toward the Vatican with a cache of weapons, vowing “Christmas blood.”
Official ISIS media has
persisted in claiming responsibility for the Oct. 1 mass shooting in
Vegas, though those claims have grown quieter in recent weeks.
ISIS featured an update on the shooting investigation in a mid-October issue of their al-Naba newsletter, referring to Stephen Paddock both by that name and the nom de guerre Abu Abdul Bar al-Amriki, which they bestowed upon the killer the day after the attack.
Much of that update focused on
how Las Vegas authorities were unprepared for the nature of the attack.
“This highlights the difficulties faced by U.S. cities to protect their
own Crusader citizens from attacks that can take unpredictable forms,”
the newsletter said, emphasizing Paddock’s elevated firing position from
the 32nd floor and quoting police about their inability to stop the
sniper from ground level….
