State Is Islamic Makes Those Who Say Otherwise
Look Incredibly Foolish
By Ben Barrack, Shoebat Foundation — Self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State / ISIS / ISIL / Da’ish Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been making things difficult for stealth Muslim Brotherhood groups and leaders. Attempts by Barack Obama to insist that a group with “Islamic State” in its name is “not Islamic” and the PhD in Islamic studies hanging on al-Baghdadi’s wall only amplify the “if it walks like a duck” metaphors. In fact, the preponderance of evidence that the Islamic State is Islamic makes those who say otherwise look incredibly foolish with each additional utterance.
The so-called ‘moderate’ Muslim leaders who desperately need to create more and more distance between themselves and ISIS are actually highlighting the similarities between what they and ISIS believe. A recent letter addressed to al-Baghdadi was signed by several of those leaders but seems to be having the effect of making al-Baghdadi’s case. Meira Svirsky writes:
Although 126 contemporary Islamist leaders and scholars recently signed a letter denouncing the actions of the Islamic State, the letter unfortunately endorses the Islamic State’s goals of rebuilding the caliphate, establishing sharia law and instituting the brutal hudud [punishments for the most severe crimes].
The letter, which was addressed to the self-declared caliph of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was signed and presented in Washington by Nihad Awad, executive director and founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The criticism of the Islamic State by the scholars that signed the letter is that the terrorist group is not “following the correct procedures that ensure justice and mercy.”
However, endorsing sharia law, point 5 of the letter states, “What is meant by ‘practical jurisprudence’ is the process of applying Shari’ah rulings and dealing with them according to the realities and circumstances that people are living under.”
The letter continues, “Practical jurisprudence [fiqh al-waq’i] considers the texts that are applicable to peoples realities at a particular time, and the obligations that can be postponed until they are able to be met or delayed based on their capabilities.”
Far from distancing themselves from the implementation of sharia law by the Islamic State, the above statements are an endorsement of the Islamist doctrine of “gradualism.” This is an incremental strategy for establishing sharia governance, supporting jihad and advancing the Islamist cause.
One of the signatories to the letter is Sheikh Abdallah bin Bayyah, the deputy of the Muslim Brotherhood’s spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Al-Qaradawi has made no bones about wanting a Caliphate but insists that it should be established in Turkey. He traveled there recently and made that very case, as Shoebat.com reported.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the letter to al-Baghdadi about the Caliphate (h/t Ryan Mauro):
22. The Caliphate: There is agreement (ittifaq) among scholars that a caliphate is an obligation upon the Ummah. The Ummah has lacked a caliphate since 1924 CE. However, a new caliphate requires consensus from Muslims and not just from those in some small corner of the world. Omar ibn Al-Khattab said: ‘Whosoever pledges allegiance to a man without due consultation with Muslims has fooled himself; and neither he nor the man to whom he pledged allegiance should be followed for he has risked both their lives.’ Announcing a caliphate without consensus is sedition (fitnah) because it renders the majority of Muslims who do not approve it outside of the caliphate. It will also lead to many rival caliphates emerging, thereby sowing sedition and discord (fitnah) among Muslims. The beginnings of this discord reared its head when the Sunni imams of Mosul did not pledge allegiance to you and you killed them.
This admission, when viewed in the context of the opposing assertions made by Israeli PM Benjamin Nethanyahu and U.S. State Department spokesman Jen Psaki serve as yet another torpedo to Psaki’s credibility. As Shoebat.com reported, Netanyahu declared that the goal of groups like the Muslim Brotherhood is a global Caliphate. When Psaki was asked to respond to Netanyahu’s claim, she disagreed.
It is not known if Psaki is familiar with item 22 in the letter to al-Baghdadi.
Of course, bin Bayyah’s signature on that letter shows he is in agreement with al-Qaradawi on the Caliphate issue. It can also be concluded that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan prefers the seat of that kind of power in his own country. After all, he received al-Qaradawi as the latter was suggesting it. Besides, as Shoebat.com has reported, Erdogan is from the Naqshbandi order and had a front row seat at a 1994 speech given by Naqshbandi Sheikh Nazeem Kibrisi in which Kibrisi called for the return of such an Ottoman Caliphate.
Al-Qaradawi’s deputy bin Bayyah has had a surprisingly high level of access to Obama administration officials. In 2011, bin Bayyah was in Washington, DC for the U.S.-Islamic World Forum (US-IWF), an annual event co-sponsored by the Brookings Institute and the government of Qatar, which has been harboring al-Qaradawi for years. Also in attendance at that year’s US-IWF was U.S. Senator John McCain, then U.S. Senator John Kerry, and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as Shoebat.com reported.
That same month, McCain was in Benghazi and praised the rebels there as being his “heroes”.
One year later, the US-IWF was back in Doha, Qatar – its usual location. On hand to give a speech was then Deputy National Security advisor and current Chief of Staff to Barack Obama Denis McDonough, as Shoebat.com reported. Also in attendance was bin Bayyah, as were two other individuals who signed the letter to al-Baghdadi – former ISNA President Mohamed Magid and CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. In his speech, McDonough praised both Magid and Rashad Hussain, Obama’s envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has identified Magid and Hussain as being Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators of the Obama administration.
In 2013, bin Bayyah made another trip to Washington, DC. This time, it included a visit to the White House. In the photo below, Rashad Hussain can be seen a few seats away from bin Bayyah:
Then, last month, as the finishing touches were likely being put on the letter bin Bayyah would sign, Barack Obama spoke at the U.N. as well. During his speech, he gave a shout out to bin Bayyah:
“The ideology of ISIL or al Qaeda or Boko Haram will wilt and die if it is consistently exposed, confronted, and refuted in the light of day. Look at the new Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies – Sheikh bin Bayyah described its purpose: ‘We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace.’ Look at the young British Muslims, who responded to terrorist propaganda by starting the ‘notinmyname’ campaign, declaring – ‘ISIS is hiding behind a false Islam.'”
Obama didn’t just drop this bin Bayyah bombshell; the mainstreaming of this terrorist-supporting deputy of al-Qaradawi has been taking place for years, to include appearances at the US-IWF with top western dignitaries and politicians. As the New York Times recently reported, Qatar is donating $14.8 million to Brookings over four years. It’s not a stretch to conclude that money is helping enemies of the U.S. gain elevated status among western leaders.
To recap, bin Bayyah – in both his capacity as a deputy to al-Qaradawi and as a signatory to the letter to al-Baghdadi – wants a Caliphate; Obama praised him on an international stage; Netanyahu identified movements like the Brotherhood as wanting a Caliphate; Obama’s State Department spokesman dismissed that claim.
It’s clear she took her cue from the President, who appeared to take his cue from one of the signatories on the letter to al-Baghdadi:

Gun Rights Under Threat
By Vic Eliason, VCY America — Larry Pratt is the executive director of Gun Owners of America.Larry stopped by the Crosstalk studios once again to bring listeners an update on Second Amendment rights and the methods being used by the opposition to affect change.
One point discussed included troubling legislation out of New York that would permit the seizing of guns because someone is concerned about them. Larry noted that this is not only an offense against the Second Amendment but also the Fifth Amendment because there's no due process. It's also a violation of the Fourth Amendment because it wouldn't require going to court to have an adversarial proceeding and have a judge and/or jury determine that seizing of the guns would be the proper course of action due to the possibility that this person is a danger to himself/herself or others.
In another case, Bill Gates and other billionaires are bankrolling a controversial gun control initiative that will appear on the November 4th ballot in the state of Washington. Initiative 594 would criminalize any handing over of a firearm to anyone. That includes a son, a neighbor or even a roommate. This means that if you were hunting with your son and you wanted him to hold your gun so that you could tie your shoe laces. the handing over of your gun would make both of you felons under this initiative.
At what point does safety through legislation become control? You decide when you listen to Larry as he comments on the latest news affecting gun owners across the nation....

Kristen Stewart played Bella Swan in the Twilight Saga
By Jennifer Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
Kristen Stewart is perhaps best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight saga. The movies had a huge following as many eagerly anticipated the release of the next film. However, after recent comments she made regarding American troops and terrorists, Stewart may find that her Hollywood star and ability to attract viewers has dimmed, if not been extinguished.In her latest film, Camp X-Ray, Stewart plays an MP who forges an unlikely friends with a Guantanamo Bay detainee, Ali after 9/11. Although the film’s director, Peter Sattler, says he wanted the film to be apolitical in nature, that doesn’t seem to be what Stewart took away from it, especially considering comments she made during a recent interview about the movie with the leftist website The Daily Beast....

John Kerry Using PC Name To Refer To Islamic State
Is Kerry using the name “Daesh” because he wants Americans to believe that Islam is a “religion of peace?”
F. Peter Brown, Western Journalism — Secretary of State John Kerry has been using a more politically correct name to refer to the Islamic State, apparently out of his desire to back his contention that there is “nothing whatsoever about ISIL that is related to Islam.”The name is “Daesh.” Here is one instance of Kerry using Daesh:
And as President Obama made clear, the United States is committed to degrading and ultimately defeating ISIL. And I’m very pleased to say that more than 60 partners have now committed to joining us in this effort in a variety of ways. Not everybody will play a military role or a direct kinetic role. Some will help with respect to the delegitimization of Daesh’s claims with respect to religion....
Jewish, Christian Leaders: US Airstrikes Against ISIS Insufficient

Turkey Bombing Kurds, Not ISIS
By Ben Barrack, Shoebat.com —
As the world wonders why Turkey is standing down and allowing ISIS fighters to continue their reign of terror in the Syrian border town of Kobane, Turkey is actually bombing Kurds according to the UK Telegraph. In reality, this is not new. As Shoebat.com reported, Turkey has been demonstrating animosity toward and a lack of support for the Kurds for some time now.This latest example should make it more obvious: Turkish jets bombed targets in the southeast of Turkey where members of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) are based, the first strikes on the outlawed group since a 2013 ceasefire, a security source said....

Jesus Privately Briefing His Inner Circle of Disciples
Regarding The Last Days
Regarding The Last Days
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ~ Matthew 24:3-14
