A Nuclear-Armed Caliphate? (Turkey)

Much has been made of the Islamic State’s claim to the caliphate. But
the Islamic State is fast losing ground in Syria and Iraq, and without a territorial claim, its claim to the caliphate is a shaky one. According to some sources, ISIS has already been preparing its followers for the fall of the caliphate. Meanwhile, an Islamist power with a much better claim to the caliphate has been gathering strength. Whether the failed coup in Turkey was the real thing or whether it was staged, as some have claimed, President Erdogan’s hold over the Turkish nation has been immeasurably...

Turkey and Erdogan: Here Comes the (real) Caliphate

By Ralph Peters Fox News Posted 2016-07-22 05:11 GMT If today's Western leaders possess one general trait, it's a genius for self-deception. Insisting
that Islamist terror has nothing to do with Islam, or that religion has no strategic impact, or that all human beings want freedom and democracy, amounts to declaring that up is down, right is left and night is day. And midnight is coming for millions in Turkey, even as we insist that a dying flashlight is the sun. Over the past few years, many Americans heard the term "caliphate" for the first time as ISIS declared that...

Turkey and Erdogan: Here comes the (real) caliphate

To us, “caliphate” appeared to be just another name for a vast torture chamber. But
for hundreds of millions of Muslims, many of whom have nothing to do with ISIS, the caliphate is associated with a lost and much-romanticized golden age when the caliph, who was also the Turkish sultan, claimed spiritual dominion over all Muslims. In the 14th century, the Ottomans revived the still-older concept of a caliphate, declaring that the sultan and caliph were one. It remained so until 1924, when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the great modernizer, abolished the office as a relic, insisting that Turks had to...

Inside ISIS: Quietly preparing for the loss of the ‘caliphate’

The Washington Post ^
| July 12, 2016 | Joby Warrick and Souad Mekhennet
Even as it launches waves of terrorist attacks around the globe, the Islamic State is quietly preparing its followers for the eventual collapse of the caliphate it proclaimed with great fanfare two years ago. In
public messages and in recent actions in Syria, the group’s leaders are acknowledging the terrorist organization’s declining fortunes on the battlefield while bracing for the possibility that its remaining strongholds could fall. At the same time, the group is vowing to press on with its recent campaign of violence, even if the terrorists themselves are driven underground. U.S. counterterrorism experts believe the mass-casualty attacks in...

Back in 2005, Jordanian journalist Fouad Hussein published al-Qaida’s manifesto. In
his book, he outlined al-Qaida’s seven-point plan over a 20-year period: “An Islamic Caliphate in Seven Easy Steps.” Ten years later, we can see how al-Qaida and other Islamic jihad groups have followed this plan to the letter – with remarkable success, thanks to the weakness, fecklessness and willful ignorance of Western leaders.

SYRIAN AIR FORCE KILLS ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDAADI (#1 ISIS and Head of Caliphate Dead???)

Syrian Perspective ^
| 6-13-2016 | Ziad Fadel
A riot of reports flowing in about the death of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdaadi in a surgical strike by the Russian/Syrian Air Forces. Do not believe the Western Press which will try to take credit for the assassination. Early
reports indicate he was killed while nursing his wounds in Al-Raqqa after being wounded for the umpteenth time. This spells the end of ISIS. Expect mass defections and desertions.

Isil uses advertising hoardings to crucify 'spies' in its new Libyan 'caliphate'

Telegraph (UK) ^
| 04 February 2016 | Colin Freeman
Zafaran roundabout in the Libyan city of Sirte used to be one of the best spots for local businesses to advertise. Today,
however, the message that they carry is not one that passing motorists care to linger over. With Colonel Gaddafi's home city now firmly in the grip of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) militants, the billboards' rusting black gantries are now used for crucifixions of anyone accused of "spying" against the regime. The corpses of murdered suspects are strung up as a graphic warning to others, with the victims' families then prevented from retrieving their bodies...

Beirut - In the 24-minute audio posted on Saturday, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi says airstrikes by the international coalition only increase his group's determination and resolve. The

If ISIS swallows the Taliban, will Afghanistan become a caliphate?

While NATO sees no danger of Islamic State (ISIS) gaining a strong enough foothold in Afghanistan to represent a serious threat to regional security, Russia is concerned that the jihadist organization is growing in strength and may soon supplant the Taliban - and Moscow fears that ISIS has ultimate plans to make
Central Asia part of its caliphate. Russia and the West diverge in their assessments of whether Islamic State (ISIS) is expanding geographically and constitutes a disaster waiting to happen in Afghanistan. Lack of understanding and cooperation on the ground might once again, as in Syria, only be a...

This is another one of those days when you have to wonder why people keep going after Donald Trump every time he opens his mouth. I
recall just last week when Talking Points Memo drew a bead on The Donald, seemingly aghast that he would suggest that officials take a look at the rest of the family of the San Bernardino terrorists. Oh the horror! Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that he would “go after†family members of terrorists because they “know what’s happening†when their loved ones commit acts of terrorism.Trump said...

Rafia Farook, the mother of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Rizwan Farook, is an active member of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a Muslim organization that promotes the establishment of a caliphate and has ties to a radical Pakistani political group called Jamaat-e-Islami. Farook’s affiliation with ICNA was revealed on Friday
when MSNBC and other new outlets scoured the Farooks’ apartment in Redlands, Cal. An MSNBC reporter found a certificate of appreciation presented to Safia Farook last summer by ICNA’s sisters’ wing. On Wednesday, Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeed Malik, killed 14 people during a holiday party being...

FEAR: Jihadis are targeting Christians in Sweden -- like they did in Iraq The terror group's logo was daubed on the wall of a restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden. Chilling messages such as "convert or die" and "the caliphate is here" were also found covering the outside of Markus Samuelsson's bakery. "I
felt a sudden chill down my spine. It's terribly painful, we feel threatened," Samuelsson said. The Arabic letter for "N" -- which has been used to identify Christians and drive them out of their homes by ISIS fighters -- was also painted on the restaurant. Gothenburg is a hotbed...
