The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), the jihadist group which has seized territory in Iraq and Syria, on Sunday declared itself an Islamic "caliphate" and called on factions worldwide to pledge their allegiance, Reuters reported, citing a statement posted on Islamist websites and Twitter.

According to the report, the group has shortened its name to "Islamic State" and proclaimed its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "Caliph" - the head of the state.

"He is the imam and khalifah (Caliph) for the Muslims everywhere," the group's spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in the statement, which was translated into several languages and read out in an Arabic audio speech.

"Accordingly, the 'Iraq and Sham' (Levant) in the name of the Islamic State is henceforth removed from all official deliberations and communications, and the official name is the Islamic State from the date of this declaration," he said, according to Reuters.

Oh, joy! I can't wait to see their newest contributions to science, medicine, mathematics and culture, and all that other good stuff that Obama says Muslim caliphates do. Where do I go to pay my jiziya?

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I wonder if they will consider Barry Obongo, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham as some of their Founding Fathers.

suck my caliphate

[Norm Lenhart]

Indeed. But lots of credit goes to the GOP who stood idly by as Democrats forced ROEs that let terrorists live and causes American soldiers to die.

The Dems are the core of the problem. But they have a lot of help perpetuating the problem.

Should be interesting to see what the Shiite Imams
have to say eh?

[Darksheare]

It’s going to get interesting.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Jeremiah 50

41 Behold, a people (ISIS) shall come from the north, and a great nation (?), and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth (NATO?).

42 They (ISIS) shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.

43 The king of Babylon (Maliki) hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling (insurgency?) of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong (Baghdad?): but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her (Iraq)? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? (=> Nobody local!)

45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he (Saudi/Qatar) hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes (pipelines/Wahhabism), that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans (Northern Iraq/Syria): Surely the least of the flock (Iraqi Shiites) shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. (Misery love company.)

46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations. ($200 per barrel.)

Thanks very much for posting this Norm! I read it some time ago - perhaps as a result of an earlier post by you or another FReeper.

I've bookmarked it now.

I post it semi often on these types of threads. Sometimes fiction opens eyes in ways that reality can’t. And this particular fiction is pretty prophetic.

I think people, even on the right, understand the threat at some level, but don’t ‘understand’ the threat. Not really understand it. It’s just more bad news on TV that doesn’t directly impact them in a real concrete/physical way. They think it might eventually, but not ‘today’. So it gets left for tomorrow to worry about. Meanwhile the threat builds unabated.

It’s human nature I guess, but human nature has often been the downfall of empires.
