Islamic State jihadis cheer destruction of Notre Dame cathedral as “retribution and punishment”
JIHAD WATCH ^ | APR 16, 2019 9:00 AM | ROBERT SPENCER

Islamic State jihadis cheer destruction of Notre Dame cathedral as “retribution and punishment”

Notably, they didn’t claim responsibility. Contrary to media myth, the Islamic State does not have a record of claiming responsibility for jihad attacks in which it was not involved. But they’re cheering nonetheless: “It’s time to say goodbye to your oratory polytheism.”

The bemused pursuers of “Muslim-Christian dialogue” may find this puzzling, thinking that Muslims recognize Christians as fellow monotheists, and will dismiss it as “extremism.” However, the Qur’an itself, which any Christian involved in “interfaith dialogue” should read and study, but which none will, is quite clear that Christians are polytheists:

Those who believe in the divinity of Christ are unbelievers: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” — Qur’an 5:17 (cf. 5:72)

Jesus is not the Son of God and belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter anything concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and his word which he conveyed to Mary, and a spirit from him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and do not say ‘Three.’ Cease! It is better for you! Allah is only One Allah. It is far removed from his transcendent majesty that he should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171

And: “It is not befitting to Allah that he should beget a son. Glory be to him! When He determines a matter, he only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35

“Notre Dame FIRE: ISIS fanatics praise blaze and call it ‘RETRIBUTION,'” by Rebecca Perring, Express, April 16, 2019:

ISIS fanatics have posted a chilling message bidding “au revoir” to Notre Dame after the historic cathedral was ravaged by a devastating fire.

A poster created by an ISIS affiliated propaganda wing shows the cathedral engulfed by flames with the words “have a good day” and describes the inferno as “retribution and punishment”. According to the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium, the Al-Muntasir group created the poster, which reads: “Its construction began in the year 1163 and ended in 1345. It’s time to say goodbye to your oratory polytheism.”

This is not the first time the Al-Munatsir media organisation has revelled in terror attacks that have rocked France over the years.

The Paris prosecutor’s office have ruled out terror-related motives for now and say they are treating the fire as an accident

Satan’s greatest deceit is not convincing man he does not exist... but instead is convincing man he is God...

Islam is the execution of that great deceit.

I'm pretty sure this statement was broadcast as the spire was falling.

They must be terribly disappointed that it survived, and the cross was untouched. Perhaps that should give them pause.

That picture in post 4 needs to have the guy winking.

I sense a photoshop there, surely it can’t be quite that obvious. (the analysis is sound, but whose analysis?)

If a burning Cathedral is “punishment” then what do you call a life of squalor and anger and degradation in a forsaken desert country?

Every last one.
There should not be a mosque in the country that is not on fire. Destroy them all , then purge the country of Islam while they still can.

“retribution and punishment” for taking in Islamic and giving them all sorts of welfare. Yep, sounds about right...

Rush mentioned there were no fire fighters present for two hours after the fire was discovered. Is this true?

As usual, they are wrong...I think this was God’s way of pointing out that France had strayed FAR outside boundries of Christian behavior....God allows Islam, He does not approve of nor accept their teachings.....period.
