Default Some Japanese see slain hostages, Abe as troublemakers

Some Japanese see slain hostages, Abe as troublemakers
Thursday, February 05, 2015 7:15pm

TOKYO (AP) In Japan, where conformity takes precedence over individuality, one of the most important values is to avoid "meiwaku" causing trouble for others. And sympathy aside, the two Japanese purportedly slain by the Islamic State group are now widely viewed as troublemakers.

So is Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Many Japanese feel that if the hostages had not ignored warnings against travel to Syria, or if Abe had not showcased Tokyo's support for the multinational coalition against the Islamic State militants, Japan wouldn't have been exposed to this new sense of insecurity and unwelcomed attention from Islamic extremists.

"To be honest, they caused tremendous trouble to the Japanese government and to the Japanese people. In the old days, their parents would have had to commit hara-kiri (ritual suicide) to apologize," said Taeko Sakamoto, a 64-year-old part-time worker, after first expressing sympathy over the deaths of Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa.

Sakamoto also sees Abe as part of the problem, for not being more mindful of the risks at a time when he had already been pushing to expand Japan's military role, which is limited to its own self-defense under the U.S.-drafted pacifist constitution after its defeat in World War II.

"I don't want Mr. Abe to do anything else that may be seen as provocation, because that's what would put us at a greater risk," Sakamoto said.

Japan until recently had not become directly involved in the violence surrounding Islamic State militants, who now control about a third of Syria and neighboring Iraq. Days after Abe announced during a Middle East trip last month that Japan would give $200 million in non-military aid to support the fight against Islamic State, the militants demanded a $200 million ransom for the two hostages.

The hostage crisis came to a grisly end with news Sunday that Goto, a journalist, had been beheaded by the extremists. The killing of Yukawa was announced earlier.

In the video posted on militant websites that purportedly shows Goto's slaying, a man says, "Abe, because of your reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war, this knife will not only slaughter Kenji, but will also carry on and cause carnage wherever your people are found. So let the nightmare for Japan begin."

Abe has been adamant about his commitment to fight terrorism as part of an international effort. On Thursday, Japan's lower house, the more powerful of the two parliamentary chambers, unanimously endorsed a resolution condemning the Islamic State group's "beyond dastardly act of terrorism" against the two Japanese nationals.

In the resolution, Japan also vowed to expand humanitarian support for the Middle East and Africa, and to strengthen anti-terrorism efforts with the international community.

Japan's tensions with other countries have been largely limited to its neighbors China and South Korea. The Middle East is an unfamiliar, distant, dangerous place.

"That's where the two men dared to go and that's probably why many people see them causing trouble," said Koichi Nakano, international politics professor at Sophia University in Tokyo.

The public's response to the hostages was chilly from the beginning. Few seemed to sympathize with Yukawa, a 42-year-old gun aficionado and adventurer who was taken hostage in August. Media attention toward his case quickly faded and he was largely forgotten until Jan. 20, when militants made their ransom demand in a video that showed Yukawa and Goto in orange gowns and kneeling beside a masked militant.

Goto's reputation as a veteran journalist whose reports focused on children and refugees in war-torn areas won him more sympathy and small rallies by his friends and other supporters. According to his wife and others who had spoken with him, Goto had gone to Syria late last year to try to save Yukawa.

Still, to address the "meiwaku" problem, both victims' families apologized repeatedly to the government and the people for "the trouble" their sons caused, even after they died.

Just two days after Abe's office put a national flag at half-staff to mourn for the pair, a senior member of his ruling party cast Goto as a troublemaker, not a tragic hero.

Masahiko Komura, vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party, said Wednesday that Goto ignored the government's repeated warnings against his trip to Syria.

"I must say that was reckless courage, not true courage, no matter how high his aspirations might have been," Komura told reporters, reminding them not to cause trouble by following Goto's path.

Criticizing the dead in public is extremely rare in Japan, and Komura's comment reflects how individuals are expected to act in line with the national interest.

When three young Japanese were taken hostage in Iraq and later freed in 2004, they faced nationwide bashing as troublemakers. They had to cover their own medical examinations and part of their chartered flights home.

Some critics accuse the government of promoting the "self-responsibility" idea as a way to shirk its own responsibility to protect Japanese citizens.

"It's a dangerous trend and we must watch," said Taku Sakamoto, a journalist and Middle East expert.

While Abe, his party's lawmakers and other nationalists say the terrorist threat justifies Abe's push for a tougher military posture, others say it is exactly that sort of policy that is putting Japan at greater risk of attack.

"The hostage crisis is causing a tremendous impact on Japanese society, and has polarized views about which direction Japan should go in terms of national security," said Nakano, the professor. "In a way, people saw what could happen under Abe's security policy."

Some Japanese, like Toshihiko Ozeki, a 67-year-old pensioner, say Japan should be strong enough to defend itself, and that he supports Abe's push to expand Japan's defense role.

"Mr. Abe has gone a bit too far, trying to make Japan look tough," said a 55-year-old man who would provide only his family name, Arai, because he is afraid of being targeted by the Islamic militants. "We don't want to be seen in that image, and we don't want to have anything to do with combat."

Norwegian halfanese who converted to islam and joined ISIS:


IS-WARS: Torleif Angel Sanchez Hammer on lap four girls as a student at Glemmen VGS Fredrikstad by first class on the Design and Crafts in 2007/2008. In 2012 he changed his name to Abdul Hakim Sanchez Hammer and in March 2014 he went to Syria to fight for IS.

Quote:
Norwegian-Filipino Torleif units no longer Torleif.

In July 2012, he changed his name to Abdul Hakim Sanchez Hammer, and deleted when from the population register the name he had received from his father.

His father died when Sanchez Hammer was only three months and the boy grew up as an only child with his Filipino mother in Fredrikstad.

Fall 2013 had several peers benefited from stfold city to become IS-warriors.

Among them was Abu Aluevitsj Edelbijev (23), who died in a US bombing raid in December. Edelbijevs wife took me a policeman to death when she blew up in the air at a police station in Istanbul in January.

After that VG knows it was winter in 2014 that Sanchez Hammer left Norway, presumed alone, to join the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS).
http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/t...st/a/23390494/

This shows that modern, multiracial societies not only are destructive to the White race, but also people from other parts of the world who can't find a stable identity as they are, still, a foreigner, a stranger in the eyes of their Aryan peers. People like that are vulnerable to shit like ISIS.

It's sad really. Had he lived in the Philippines, and had a solid, normal upbringing there I doubt he'd joined ISIS.

Where does ISIS get its orange jumpsuits? They look awfully like American prison get ups, at least the ones in Gitmo.

The average jap-on-the-street clearly has a mature view of foreign policy, one that sees & strongly criticizes the blunders made by their own idiot troublemakers. So different from the average Fux "news" patriotard, with his "This is 'Murca! We do whatever the hell we want, 'n' if them ragheads don't like it, we'll send 'em to Allah!"

I don't understand the upside for ISIS in pissing off the Egyptians, who had been pretty hands-off up until now.

If anyone from the U.S. State Dept. is reading this, why don't we cut a deal with Iran to end all sanctions and normalize relations if they take care of ISIS on the ground for us? They would love the chance to kill a bunch of Sunnis.

Default The ISIS Islamic Terrorists are Supported by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia

Who’s Really Pulling the Strings?



http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-isi...arabia/5396171

Quote:
The Times of Israel reported Wednesday:

A Free Syrian Army commander, arrested last month by the Islamist militia Al-Nusra Front, told his captors he collaborated with Israel in return for medical and military support, in a video released this week.Read more: Syrian rebel commander says he collaborated with Israel.

In a video uploaded to YouTube Monday … Sharif As-Safouri, the commander of the Free Syrian Army’s Al-Haramein Battalion, admitted to having entered Israel five times to meet with Israeli officers who later provided him with Soviet anti-tank weapons and light arms. Safouri was abducted by the al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front in the Quneitra area, near the Israeli border, on July 22.

“The [opposition] factions would receive support and send the injured in [to Israel] on condition that the Israeli fence area is secured. No person was allowed to come near the fence without prior coordination with Israel authorities,” Safouri said in the video.

***

In the edited confession video, in which Safouri seems physically unharmed, he says that at first he met with an Israeli officer named Ashraf at the border and was given an Israeli cellular phone. He later met with another officer named Younis and with the two men’s commander, Abu Daoud. In total, Safouri said he entered Israel five times for meetings that took place in Tiberias.

Following the meetings, Israel began providing Safouri and his men with “basic medical support and clothes” as well as weapons, which included 30 Russian [rifles], 10 RPG launchers with 47 rockets, and 48,000 5.56 millimeter bullets.

Also on Wednesday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency – a 97-year old Jewish wire service – reported:

A senior employee of the Dutch Justice Ministry said the jihadist group ISIS was created by Zionists seeking to give Islam a bad reputation.

Yasmina Haifi, a project leader at the ministry’s National Cyber Security Center, made the assertion Wednesday on Twitter, the De Telegraaf daily reported.

“ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. It’s part of a plan by Zionists who are deliberately trying to blacken Islam’s name,” wrote Haifi ….

In March, Haaretz reported:

The Syrian opposition is willing to give up claims to the Golan Heights in return for cash and Israeli military aid against President Bashar Assad, a top opposition official told Al Arab newspaper, according to a report in Al Alam.

***

The Western-backed militant groups want Israel to enforce a no-fly zone over parts of southern Syria to protect rebel bases from air strikes by Assad’s forces, according to the report.

World Net Daily reports that the U.S. trained Islamic jihadis – who would later join ISIS - in Jordan.

The Jerusalem Post reports that an ISIS fighter says that Turkey funds the terrorist group. Turkey is a member of NATO and – at least until very recently – a close U.S. ally.

Wealthy donors in U.S. allies Kuwait and Qatar back ISIS, and Western intelligence officials say that those governments must be approving the support.

A former high-level Al Qaeda commander has repeatedly alleged that ISIS works for the CIA.

In June, investment adviser Jim Willie alleged:

The [Isis] troops that are working there [in Syria and Iraq] are Langley [i.e. CIA] troops. They’re trained, funded, and armed by Langley.

What I’m hearing… the U.S. military (Pentagon regulars), and you have to be careful when you refer to U.S. military anymore. What kind of U.S. military? Is it the Pentagon U.S. Army, or is it the Langley military, which has unmarked uniforms and 10′s of thousands of mercenaries?

They’re about to encounter each other in Iraq. The U.S. military Pentagon regulars evacuated Iraq, and what filled the vacuum was the Langley mercenaries, trained for Syria, that migrated South and announced their new agenda.

If and when the Pentagon regulars encounter the Langley mercenaries in Iraq, Obama’s going to get a house call, because U.S. military will be fighting U.S. military. Pentagon vs. Langley.

While we don’t know which of the above-described allegations are true, two things are certain:

The U.S. armed Islamic jihadis in Syria, and their weapons ended up in the hands of ISIS; and

Close allies of the U.S. have supported and trained the ISIS terrorists

Why would the U.S. and its allies back ISIS, when they are barbarian Islamic terrorists? Well – assuming it’s true – oil and gas could be the explanation.

After all, there is evidence that the U.S. and her allies have wanted to break up the nations of Iraq and Syria for decades. And ISIS has done so.

In any event – whether or not it’s true of ISIS – it’s well-documented that the U.S., Saudis and Israelis have been backing the world’s most dangerous and radical Muslim terrorists for decades. And see this.

And anyone who looks at the battle against ISIS as a religious war is being played.

Here is the Army's declassified Iraq prison file on the leader of ISIS

HUNTER WALKER

FEB. 18, 2015, 7:06 PM

Relatively little is known about Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the jihadist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS and ISIL). However, newly declassified military documents obtained by Business Insider on Wednesday reveal several new details about the ISIS leader.
The records come from time Baghdadi spent in US Army custody in Iraq. They were released through a Freedom of Information Act request. In these files, Baghdadi was identified by his birth name, Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Al Badry.

There have been conflicting reports about the time Baghdadi spent as a US detainee. These files identify his "capture date" as Feb. 4, 2004 and the date of his "release in place" as Dec. 8, 2004. According to the records, Baghdadi was captured in Fallujah and held at multiple prison facilities including Camp Bucca and Camp Adder.

baghdadiBusiness InsiderA photo of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from U.S. Army files relating to his time as a detainee in Iraq.

In the book "ISIS: Inside The Army of Terror," Michael Weiss and Hassan Hassan relay an account of Baghdadi's capture from ISIS expert Dr. Hisham al-Hashimi. In the interview, al-Hashimi said Baghdadi was captured by US military intelligence while visiting a friend in Fallujah named Nessayif Numan Nessayif.
"Baghdadi was not the target — it was Nessayif," said al-Hashimi, who consults with the Iraqi government and claims to have met the ISIS leader in the 1990s.

Baghdadi's detainee I.D. card lists him as a "civilian detainee," which means he was not a member of a foreign armed force or militia, but was still held for security reasons. His "civilian occupation" was identified as "ADMINISTRATIVE WORK (SECRETARY)." As of 2014, he was listed as being 43 years old though his birth date was redacted. Baghdadi's birthplace was identified as Fallujah.

These records also provide some details about Baghdadi's family. His file identifies him as married and his next of kin was an uncle. The names of his family members were redacted from the records.

View the Baghdadi files below they can't be copied onto here, unfortunately. According to Army Corrections Command, some of the records requested by Business Insider remain classified. We are working to obtain all possible files from Baghdadi's detention.

Egypt hasn't been an enemy of Israel for a long time. Google Anwar El Sadat.

I think it has more to do with Libya being a failed state at this point, after Nobel Peace Prize winner Barry Obama bombed Muammar and his bombshell bodyguards.

Default US-trained moderate Syrian rebels to get tools to call-in airstrikes



USA prepares to repeat failed Afghanistan strategy with ISIS

The US supported and armed the Afghan rebels against the Russians. These Afghan rebels then morphed into the Taliban/Al Queda. Taliban/Al Queda now prepares to regain control of Afghanistan.

Quote:
The US will provide its moderate rebel ground force in Syria with armored pickup trucks and communication tools to call-in airstrikes, under a new plan that Washington is pursuing in order to curb the ISIS threat it helped create.

Military officials said their ability to control the moderate rebels will be limited once they are on the battlefield, but Washington plans to use some leverage, such as ammunition resupply and paychecks to keep control on those it helped train.

All those things could be put at risk if they go counter to what we have asked them to do, one official told The Wall Street Journal.

WSJ however questions the possible success of such a decision, as officials believe that moderate rebels will not outnumber the IS forces.
.. seems very similar to what the CIA did with the mujahadeen in Afghanistan

[arguing with cumia, who is some radio guy, on twitter. just blank acceptance of israel-can-do-no-wrong. these people are, there's no other words, blind and bigoted. no matter what iran does, it is wrong. no matter what israel does, it is justified. you set their behaviors side by side and point out how much worse in every single category israel is, up to and including murdering american soldiers, they dont care. it's genuine brainwashing. ... you know i say attack buchanan, and that is the right way to go, but he is still damn smart, and nothing i say denies that. he is the true heir to the big-picture brain (on foreign policy) of his former boss richard nixon, who was an extremely intelligent fellow, much better at writing books than president-ing, unfortunately. use buchanan's facts, as he uses our racial knowledge, but always attack him in public for being weak, which he is, and which he represents - Weakness Inc.]

Why The GOP Hawks Are Dead Wrong On Iran
by Patrick J. Buchanan • March 13, 2015

America, we have a problem.

In the blood-soaked chaotic Middle East, with few exceptions like the Kurds, our friends either can’t or won’t fight.

The Free Syrian Army folded. The U.S.-armed Hazm force in Syria has just collapsed after being routed by the al-Nusra Front. The Iraqi army we trained and equipped fled Mosul and ran all the way to Baghdad.

The Turks could annihilate ISIS in Syria, but they won’t fight. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Arabs have sent zero troops to fight ISIS. A handful of air strikes is it.

Now consider what our old enemies have done and are doing.

Hezbollah and Iran have sustained Bashar Assad’s Syrian army for four years and have ISIS and the al-Nusra Front on the defensive around Aleppo.

Iran and its allied Shiite militia in Iraq are battling ISIS for Tikrit.

Backed by Hezbollah, Houthi rebels have seized Yemen’s capital and are battling al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. AQAP is the No. 1 terrorist threat to the U.S. homeland.

While Iran and its allies are fighting al-Qaida and ISIS, Turkey and our Arab allies are malingerers at best and collaborators at worst.

How explain this? Not difficult.

The Shiites, a religious minority in the Muslim world — Hezbollah, Assad’s regime, Baghdad, Tehran — see ISIS as a mortal threat and are willing to fight to kill the monster.

Our Sunni allies won’t go out and fight ISIS, because that would make them allies of Iran and the Shiites, whom they fear even more.

Our Sunni friends want America to crush ISIS and al-Qaida, then to crush Hezbollah, Syria and Iran. But why is it in our interest to send U.S. troops back into any of these wars?

Is America more threatened than our Arab allies?

Rather than listening to allies who are non-combatants, we should take a hard look at the Mideast. To whom does the future belong? And with what can we live?

The Republicans want to give a blank check to Obama and any future president to fight ISIS and al-Qaida everywhere and forever. And they want the United States to treat Iran as we should have treated Nazi Germany had Hitler been about to get the bomb.

But if the GOP platform takes the neocon-Netanyahu line that we must not only fight ISIS and al-Qaida, but also Iran and Syria, the party will imperil its improving chances for 2016.

Americans don’t want another war.

And if John Kerry comes home with a deal on Iran’s nuclear program, Americans are likely to reject a party that is seen as trying to torpedo that deal, when the alternative is war with Iran.

We do not know exactly what is in the Kerry deal, but what has been revealed thus far is no cause for panic or hysteria.

Though Israel has 200 atomic bombs, Iran has not produced a single ounce of uranium enriched to bomb-grade 90 percent.

Since talks began, Iran has diluted all of its 20-percent enriched uranium and halted production. Tehran is willing to cut her operating centrifuges by a third.

Inspectors and cameras are now in all of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The heavy-water plant at Arak, which would produce plutonium, has been halted. The reprocessing plant that would be needed to extract bomb-grade material has not even been started.

U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007 and 2011 declared, with high confidence, that Iran has no active bomb program.

While Bibi Netanyahu says the Ayatollah tweeted that Israel must be “annihilated,” the same Ayatollah issued a fatwa against Iran ever producing nuclear weapons.

We cannot trust Iran, we are told. Correct. Nor should we, as history has proven. Moscow cheated on Nixon’s SALT I agreement by replacing its light single-warhead SS-11 missiles with heavy SS-19s with multiple warheads.

But as Meir Dagan, ex-head of Mossad points out, if Iran cheats at any of its facilities, we will know it, and it would take a year before Tehran could produce enough highly enriched uranium even to test a bomb.

Plenty of time to gas up the B-2s.

Another question, too rarely raised, is this:

Why would Iran test and build a nuclear bomb, when this would set off a nuclear arms race across the Middle East and put Iran in mortal peril of being smashed by the United States, or by Israel with a preemptive strike?

Right now, Hezbollah dominates Lebanon. Assad is gaining ground in Syria. Iraq, thanks to “W,” is Iran’s ally, not the mortal enemy of Saddam’s day. The Houthi have Sanaa.

The Shiite majority in Bahrain, where the U.S. Fifth Fleet is berthed, will one day dominate that Gulf state. And the Shiites in oil-rich northeast Saudi Arabia will one day rise up against Riyadh.

Why build a bomb, why get into a war with a nuclear-armed superpower, when everything’s going your way?

[note also, per the EMJ message, Iran has banned birth control, or something similar to that. meaning time is on iran's side in terms of more and more people to do battle with evil israel]

Iran’s Plan to Boost Declining Birth Rate? Block Access to Birth Control

BY LUCY WESTCOTT 3/11/15

Two bills being discussed in Iran will turn women into “baby-making machines” if passed, Amnesty International warned on Wednesday.

The bills seek to boost Iran’s population of 77 million. Population growth in the country has been declining since the late 1980s, despite the efforts of former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to end family-planning programs. The new bills, which would limit women’s access to contraception and encourage companies to prioritize hiring men with children over other groups, would, Amnesty argues, effectively legalize gender discrimination in the workplace and result in more women seeking out dangerous, unsafe and illegal abortions.

“The bills reinforce discriminatory stereotypes of women and mark an unprecedented move by the state to interfere in people’s personal lives,” Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty’s deputy director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement Wednesday. “In their zealous quest to project an image of military might and political strength by attempting to increase birth rates, Iran’s authorities are trampling all over the fundamental rights of women—even the marital bed is not out of bounds.”

Iran already has a poor record on gender rights—between 2013 and 2014, 41,226 girls aged 10 to 14 and 201 girls under 10 were married—and despite being the majority of university graduates, women make up just 17 percent of the Iranian workforce, according to Amnesty. [completely ideological "news" reporting, totally tendentious; flip it: the bill will result in more women have large and happy families, according to Pokam Il Bloatem at the More Iranians Good News Foundation.]

Twenty-one women out of every 100,000 in Iran die from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, according to the United Nations Development Programme’s 2014 Gender Inequality Index, a figure that could rise with limited access to safe abortion. Unsafe abortion kills around 47,000 women a year and is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality across the globe. The U.S., ranked fifth, has the same maternal mortality rate as Iran, while in Norway, the top-ranked country in terms of gender equality, the rate drops to seven out of 100,000.

One of the Iranian measures, the Bill to Increase Fertility Rates and Prevent Population Decline, was approved with a majority in the parliament last August. It needs to be approved by the Guardian Council before it becomes law. In addition to blocking information about and access to contraception, including condoms, which Amnesty says will increase the rate of sexually transmitted diseases in Iran, the bill would end all state funding of the country’s current family-planning program.

The other bill, the Comprehensive Population and Exaltation of Family Bill, is scheduled to go through parliamentary discussions next month. It “instructs all public and private entities to prioritize, in sequence, men with children, married men without children and married women with children when hiring for certain jobs,” says Amnesty, and will have unknown consequences for women who don’t want or cannot have children.

The bill also discourages police and judges from intervening in family disputes, which would, according to Amnesty, increase women’s risk for sexual and domestic violence and make it harder for them to get a divorce from their husbands.

“The Iranian authorities must recognize that introducing such legislation could have devastating consequences for women trapped in abusive relationships,” said Sahraoui.

The Amnesty report on the two bills comes during the first week of the 59th Commission on the Status of Women conference at the United Nations. A number of reports on the progress made on women’s rights and gender equality over the past two decades, including ones from the Clinton Foundation and U.N. Women, show that while gains have been made in women’s access to health care and legal protections, progress on domestic violence has been painfully slow and uneven.

Uniting Planet Earth One Symbol at a time

The Abrahamic God evolved from the desert and MUST go back and remain in his domain, to restore balance to the planet






In the name of Allah or the Goddess ISIS?

When Muslim Jihadist's spill blood, are they spilling the blood of their enemies in the name of Allah or the pagan Egyptian Goddess ISIS?

Default Not directly ISIS-related. But, relavent to show what Kwan meddling in Subhuman affairs has resulted in and what's to mainstream in Europe.

Notice those kids' indifference to such abuse, as if it's an everyday thing. This is why I can't complain about Israel dealing with Arabs accordingly:

Default Islamic State beheads 8, led to death by teens

Islamic State beheads 8, led to death by teens

The Islamic State group released a new video Sunday showing its fighters cutting off the heads of eight men described as Shiite Muslims, who were led to their execution by teenage boys.

The eight men were beheaded in the central Syrian province of Hama. Blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs, the men are seen being led forward in a field by teenage boys, the Daily Mail reported.

The video was posted on social media. It could not be independently verified but it appeared to be genuine, the Associated Press reported. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights in the United Kingdom said the video appeared authentic.

The video shows the hostages led in a field by teenage boys, where they were handed over to a group of fighters. A boy wearing a black uniform is seen handing out knives to the fighters before the hostages are killed.

An Islamic State fighter speaks in the video, calling the hostages "impure infidels" and saying the military campaign against the Islamic State will make the group stronger.

"Our swords will soon, God willing, reach ... allies like Bashar and his party,"
the man said in reference to Syrian President Bashar Assad and Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group that is fighting on his side.

Russian Muslims denounce ISIS as ‘enemies of Islam’

Published time: March 31, 2015 15:22 Get short URL



Quote:
A major Russian Muslim group has issued a fatwa against the so-called Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) reviling them as ‘enemies of Islam’ and calling for the punishment of all its members as criminals.

The Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Russia published the text of the fatwa on its website on Tuesday.

“The members of the Ulama [Islamic scholars] council, on the basis of the Koran and Sunna and other legal sources, have shown and proved that all actions of the organization that calls itself "Islamic State" are contradicting Islam – starting from the creation of the group and calls for resettlement and finishing with their cruelty and public executions,” the document reads.

“From the point of view of the Muslim canon the members of such criminal groups deserve either capital punishment or full lifelong isolation from the society,” the Russian Muslim leaders stated. However, they noted in the fatwa that every suspect must be convicted by a court verdict that would fully exclude all doubts of his or hers complicity in violence, robberies and killings.

“The followers of ISIS are mistakenly interpreting Islam as the religion of brutality and cruelty, of violence, torture and killings of all discontent,” the Russian Muslims stated. In reality, the basic principles of Islam forbid to kill civilians, prisoners and envoys – and journalists and workers of humanitarian missions can be described as the latter, they added.

Most importantly, the creation of a caliphate is only possible by approval of all Muslim communities and otherwise is considered a mutiny. “A single-sided declaration of caliphate would cause numerous competing caliphates to appear and this would cause strife and disagreement between Muslims,” the fatwa reads.

In December last year, the Russian government listed the Islamic State and the Al-Nusra Front as terrorists, outlawing membership or any support for these organizations under threat of criminal prosecution. In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry called upon all nations to recognize the two groups as terrorists, noting that such a step would be backed up by UN Security Council resolutions.
