A militant group affiliated to Islamic State in Egypt claimed responsibility for the downing of a Russian passenger plane that crashed in Egypt's Sinai peninsula on Saturday, the group said in a statement circulated by supporters on Twitter.

SNIP....

"The fighters of the Islamic State were able to down a Russian plane over Sinai province that was carrying over 220 Russian crusaders. They were all killed, thanks be to God," the statement circulated on Twitter said.

PROOF that this is false....

” They were all killed, thanks be to God”

Muslims would have said ALLAH, not GOD.

With this current administration, what difference would it make? Obama knows if Hillary hangs, his hanging follows close behind. He’ll play this down with all the ROP crap. Meanwhile, the heat is off Hillary’s emails, but only temporarily.

I looked up shoulder fired rockets manpads etc. and it looks like 20k feet is about their limit. Anything else that isis could likely have?

That most certainly is NOT an aircraft that fell out of the sky at 11,000 or 30,000 ft.

Some reports were saying the pilot was trying to bring the aircraft down to the nearest airport and crashed just before it.

“This modern conflict is NOT a crusade. It is neither religiously motivated nor aimed at conquest.”

Suggest you read up on Islam and the caliphate.

Arabic speaking Muslims would have said the whole thing in Arabic. A non-Muslim translator, who is not under the Mohammedan delusion that the Arabic word for God is the proper name of God, might well have Englished the Arabic “Allah” as “God”.

allah is just a symbolic idol for satan...”piss be upon him”.

[rodguy911]

Since we created Isis you have to wonder if zero has the will to take them out other than shooting a random pickup every now and then.

Looks like something blew a hole through the top of the fuselage.

You have to remember, Allah is the only God, according to them, so they are interchangeable for whomever they think the audience to be.

“Some reports were saying the pilot was trying to bring the aircraft down to the nearest airport and crashed just before it.”

With bodies scattered across 5 km, it is an inflight breakup, not a landing gone bad.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The Russian BUK will do it. That's what the Russkies used to bring down the Malaysian jet.

It wouldn't surprise me that ISIS has this or similar weapons given what they've commandeered over such a wide area.

[InvisibleChurch]

Reports are that plane crew complained about engines before takeoff

[mazda77]

But they took off anyway? I don’t buy it.

Not for nothing, but these genuises don't want to know what a modern crusade would look like.

It would start with the temple mount, with Medina and Mecca following shortly thereafter.

This modern conflict is NOT a crusade. It is neither religiously motivated nor aimed at conquest.

This sounds like a plan I could get behind.

[UCANSEE2]

Point taken.

I still think they are lying.

[InvisibleChurch]

Just sayin’.
