ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a call to arms which asks Muslims everywhere to physically join ISIS in the area it now controls or simply take up the struggle against unbelievers wherever they are.
The title of the message "March Forth Whether Heavy or Light" comes from a verse in the Koran which calls on believers to "strive with your wealth and your lives in the cause of Allah." In Baghdadi's view that striving is ISIS's war against unbelievers.
"O Muslims, Islam was never for a day the religion of peace. Islam is the religion of war," al-Baghdadi says, according to an English language transcript of the speech promoted by ISIS-affiliated social media accounts. The transcript, which was posted online at Downrange, portrays Islam's Muhammad as a warrior:
Where are you in relation to your Prophet (peace be upon him), whom you claim to emulate, and who spent his whole life (peace be upon him) as a mujÄÂhid for the cause of Allah, fighting His enemies? His lateral incisor tooth was broken in battle, his forehead was wounded, two rings from his chainmail cut his cheeks, his helmet was broken on his head, and blood ran down his face.
Baghdadi frames the necessity of war against unbelievers as a religious duty but also as a necessity, saying, "the Jews, the Christians, and the rest of the disbelievers will not approve of you nor abandon waging war against you until you follow their religion and apostatize from yours."

He sure does and seems most happy to.
I told my wife once that the TV series “The Walking Dead” looks to me like a metaphor for the walking BRAIN DEAD who seem to be multiplying at a horrific rate. Unfortunately the walking brain dead are much more dangerous than the slow shuffling zombies who can be distracted easily.
In other headline news the Sun rose in the East today and is expected to do so again tomorrow. Water still wet, fire still hot.
That is not a serious response.
Try one. You might actually like it.
That, too, is quite unserious.
Certainly, it cannot adequately masquerade as a rebuttal, of any meaningful sort...
sorry, not going to bother. if you haven’t seen enough proof, you don’t want to. it’s as obvious as my yorkie is adorable.
If you have not seen, understood what the GOP is about when it comes to borders then you never will.
“..donating millions of dollars to our universities..”
I do recall reading some articles in WND, Joe Farah, and
Even Alex Jones talking about this ten or so years ago.
Heck even Glen Beck was all over it at one time. They were
also screaming about all those Arabs that own or have
major interests in the mainstream media. Those oil sheiks
have a lot of dough and I’m sure they have their money
and people in a lot of places.
So, you're "not going to bother" to give a serious response?
Okay, got it...
It really might be better to criticize the proposals of specific Republicans, rather than painting with a very broad brush...
