ISIS tells its followers to show no mercy and launch attacks during coronavirus crisis amid fears counter-terror efforts will be weakened by the outbreak

  • Islamist extremist groups say coronavirus is punishment for non-Muslims
  • The comments were made in a new editorial of the IS al-Naba newsletter
  • Crisis groups warn Covid-19 is threatening efforts to stop terrorism

By Alice Cachia For Mailonline, 2 April 2020:

An IS newsletter has urged followers to launch attacks amid the coronavirus pandemic.

A new editorial in the latest al-Naba newsletter has called for members to continue their globe-spanning terror, even as the virus spreads, and provides a list of directives to deal with epidemics.

The commentary added that coronavirus was a punishment for non-Muslims and that no mercy should be shown.

While the list included ‘stay away from sick people’, ‘wash your hands before eating’ and ‘avoid travel to affected areas’, it also included directive to ‘put your faith in God and seek refuge in him’.

The news comes as The International Crisis Group warned the coronavirus pandemic was threatening the global solidarity that is integral to fighting extremists.

A statement issued this week said: ‘It is almost certainly correct that Covid-19 will handicap domestic security efforts and international counter-ISIS cooperation, allowing the jihadists to better prepare spectacular terror attacks.’

Although it it too soon to say which attacks can be blamed on militants exploiting Covid-19, Islamist extremists carried out their deadliest assault yet in late March against the Chad military – a significant contributor to Africa’s growing counter terrorism efforts.

Two military officials in Egypt recorded a spike in IS attacks in March in the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula while security forces foiled another three major assaults.

The virus has spread to Syria and Iraq, with the coronavirus pandemic prompting the US-led coalition to halt training activities in Iraq amid a planned pullout from several bases.

There are signs elsewhere that other militaries, including the US and British, are pulling back because of the virus which could leave a possible opening for extremists to attack.

That is a danger in Africa’s hot spots of the Sahel, the Lake Chad region and Somalia, where the US military already worried allies in recent months by contemplating cuts to focus on threats from China and Russia.

Clionadh Raleigh, executive director of the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, which tracks extremists’ activities worldwide, said: ‘Any state that was interested in pulling back in Africa will take the opportunity to do so. That will be unbelievably bad.’

The British army mission in Kenya, which provides counterterrorism training and other skills, also announced this week that all army families will return to the UK because of the virus.

Grown-up Steve Erkel (aka Obama) told us that ISIS was the JV team, yet they owned large swaths of land under his watch. It’s thanks to Trump these mongrels were mostly wiped out. If we had Obama part 2 (Shrillary) I think the US would be an Islamic state eventually. Hopefully Trump sticks to his word in his 2nd term and goes after all the Muslim terrorists, not just ISIS but Hamas, Boko Haram and the bastards running all Islamic nations.

Oh yeah, I think President Trump’s 2nd term is important & he will really nail ALL of our enemies. That is why it is so important to vote for him in November 2020 & vote in ALL Pro-Trump Republicans. We must constantly Redpill people because the Left is going to cheat like never before in this next big presidential election.

Obama had a great chance to obliterate ISIS when it was starting out, ISIS had a-convoy with 2500 members, more or less all of them. I kept wondering why Obama didn’t take the opportunity to wipe them out,

They were driving through baron land with really now where to hide. A few Apache helicopters, a half dozen Warthog STOL aground attack planes, and a few other types of plane made for ground attack could have done the job. Instead they were left essentially with safe passage. The rest is history.

Obama loves Islam and hates Christianity… why would he take advantage of any opportunity to attack Muslims except to maintain the facade that somehow he was against terrorism? He took every opportunity to try to give Muslim groups an advantage. This includes giving Iran the ability and funds to ramp their nuclear dreams as well as protecting ISIS by his ridiculous rules of engagement.

Groups like ISIS and Boko Haram will never really be wiped out by military force alone. As long as people who hold their same ideology exist, there will always be “extremists”.

The reality is we call them extremists but they are merely devout orthodox Muslims. They are simply following Mohammad’s example. Because Islam is primarily a political ideology that uses religious rituals to control its followers, as long as there are Muslim leaders who keep Muslims accountable to the Islamic scriptures, there will always be groups of Muslims that will rise up and do exactly what ISIS, Boko Haram, Hamas, et al, do even if today’s groups are completely wiped out.

The only way to rid this world of this pox is to first recognize that the issue is actually Islam. The only truly peaceful Muslims are actually the heretical sects. These groups make excuses to not fully follow the Islamic scriptures. Many of those members would also be attacked as they are in Muslim countries that adhere more closely to the Islamic scriptures. If somehow only these heretical groups existed, a “radical” group would still arise because there will always be some that take the Islamic scriptures at face value and attempt to actually follow them faithfully.

Islam must then be delegitimized as an acceptable religion. And the truth about Islam, that is through the works of people like David Wood and Islam Critiqued, must be spread to lead Muslims out of Islam and Muslims must be given the right to apostatize (freedom of religion) and protected if/when they do. Then Islam will diminish. The truth is, Islam can’t stand up to scrutiny because the whole religion hide behind deceit and fear.

If we’re lucky these primates will think they’re invincible and will keep spreading Covid to each other in their mosques and eventually take out the whole filthy Ummah. Though we’d have to make sure we isolate them from the rest of us.

I know, right!? I wish!

A couple hours ago tonight my husband & just found out that his mother, my mother-in-law, has the Coronavirus!! She has many underlying conditions which makes it so much worse for her.

Why do good wonderful people have to get this virus & possibly die?!

I’m just so upset!

Now I cannot help but to wonder if the Global NWO Elites like, Bill Gates & George “scrotum face” $0r0$ are somehow involved in this. They are the ones always wanting to cut down on the global population in this World! Are they trying to take out our sick & elderly? I wouldn’t put it past them. They’re evil!

P.s. Also, why hasn’t $0r0$ been charged with being a Nazi? Why hasn’t he been charged with stealing & reporting on Jews & The Christians who hid their Jewish friends? Is that how $0r0$ wealth started? Sorry, I’m just so mad & upset at these evil double standards.

You will be fine. Keep your cool and find a good doctor that will give your mother in law what she needs. Be determined and don’t give the left a victory. Pray too!

You have excellent instincts! Soros pretended to be a Christian and then took advantage of the situation to make money.

Brix is using the Gates flawed IHME model to scare us to death. No wonder the IHME is screwed up!

IHME which is 100% funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Throw in the fact that 80% of the deaths reported to the CDC are people over 80 years old with a terminal illness already like lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, heart failure and COPD. Why doesn’t Fauci and Brix tell President Trump that most of the deaths being reported are people already at death’s door step!

Gates Foundation Awards $279 Million for Health Metrics, Evaluation
JANUARY 26, 2017

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced a ten-year, $279 million commitment in support of the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

“IHME provides critical data about global health trends that can empower policy makers worldwide to identify better solutions in the fight against disease,” said Gates Foundation co-chair Bill Gates.

“Islamist extremist” a meaningless word salad of bullshite designed to obfuscate the fact that islamic terrorism is committed and facilitated by muslums in the name of islam.

“islamic terrorism is committed and facilitated by muslums in the name of islam.”

Someone who claims to be a Christian can say they do a violent act in the name of Jesus. An example of this is those that used to attack abortion centers. They’d use verses in the Old Testament, totally out of context, to justify their evil deeds. In other words, even though they claim to do things in the name of Jesus and Christianity, they are actually in error in their actions.

On the other hand Islamic terrorism is mandated by the Islamic scriptures. So a Muslim who does not go jihad in sone way is a bad Muslim but they are the peaceful and friendly ones. They disobey the command to not take non-Muslims as friends. They disobey the directive to smile in the face of unbelievers while cursing us in their heart. The good Muslims are the ones who make every effort to strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers by striking at their necks… or attempting to blow us up… or smiling in our face, pretending to be our friend while infiltrating position of power and influence in order to undermine our defenses to achieve their goal to subjugate us as done by groups like CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood front groups.

Yeshua, the founder of Christianity, never had anyone killed nor through inaction allowed anyone to be killed in his name. He stopped the stoning to death of a woman for adultery.

Relax. Think. Hot toddies. Steam vaporizer. Tea with honey & lemon. Prayer. Ok?
Be positive, freaking out is not productive overall. You got this and you can handle this.

My grandfather gave me a hot toddy when I was sick as a kid — it made me sweat like a pig.

My grandmother made me bathe in oatmeal. It was sooo gross. I can’t even remember if it worked but I remember how gross it was. Nevertheless, sweating & sunlight disinfect a good deal. I think more than oatmeal.

Give her these supplements: Vitamin C in large doses of 10,000 milligram a day, Vit D 5000 IU, Beta Glucan 500mg or more,and zinc picolinate (not oxide). These are immune system boosters and will help her recover.

I’m sorry to hear this DutchessVega. Don’t give up hope, most people do recover from coronavirus — at least in the USA.

Hear, hear! You do realize the vast majority of muslums aren’t Arabpig, but Asians. The Asians of Indonesia (spit), Malaysia (spit again) and the Philippines.

ISIS does NOT care about Muslims. It views them as expendable cannon fodder for its own ends. Retaliation during ANY crisis would be remorseless and not at all media approved.
