“ISIS Did It First”: California Lawyer Proposes Ballot to Execute Homosexuals

/10 Comments/in , /by

By AFP. A California lawyer has submitted a referendum proposal to outlaw homosexuality in the famously liberal western US state, on pain of execution.

The proposal — unlikely to advance, as it requires over 360,000 signatures to proceed — was submitted by attorney Matthew McLaughlin to the California Attorney General’s office last week.

“The abominable crime against nature known as buggery, called also sodomy, is a monstrous evil that Almighty God, giver of freedom and liberty, commands us to suppress on pain of our utter destruction even as he overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha,” reads the proposal, registered for comment on the attorney general’s website.

Gay Syrians Tell of ISIS Persecution

By Arwa Damon and Zeynep Bilginsoy. The photographs released by ISIS in its stronghold of Raqqa are dated March 2015. The first ones show a large crowd, mostly men, but also among them a handful of women and children, all looking up.

Three men on top of a building, faces covered in black balaclavas, stand on either side of their victim, while a fourth seems to be taking a photo or video.


Their victim is thrown off the building. In the last photograph, he is seen face down, surrounded by a small crowd of men, most carrying weapons, some with rocks in their hands. The caption reads “stoned to death.”

The victim brutally killed because he was accused of being gay.

There are at least half a dozen documented cases of men being similarly killed by ISIS. What’s even more sickening for Nour, a gay Syrian man, is the onlookers’ reaction. (Read more from this story HERE)

Is This ISIS’ Sickest Execution Video Yet?

/4 Comments/in , /by

By John Hall. Depraved militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq are attaching high-definition cameras to the barrels of their guns in order to film barbaric executions in gruesome detail.

The shocking pictures were captured by the terror group’s Tigris River branch, who are currently engaged in fierce battles with up to 30,000 Iraqi Army soldiers and Shia militia roughly 70 miles north of the ISIS-held city of Tikrit.

Still images from the video shows a group of blindfolded prisoners being forced to their knees while heavily armed militants line up behind them. The photographs then cut to the gun barrel cameras, which display in graphic detail the young men being shot to death from point blank range.

The unorthodox camera view and the use of HD equipment give the footage the appearance of a computer game and is just the latest example of ISIS attempting to portray their atrocities in a manner that could appeal to young men and women living in the West.

ISIS Allows Militants to Play Foosball on One Bizarre Condition

By Tom Tillison. Taking their obsession with beheading innocent victims to a whole new level, Islamic State militants have issued a fatwa directing Islamic extremist fighters to lop off the heads of the figurines used in foosball games.


Perhaps looking to avoid being tagged as a “no fun allowed” terror group, ISIS has declared that when its fighters are not raping young children, selling women into sexual slavery and beheading and burning alive nonbelievers, they can relax by playing a game of foosball.

That is, under one condition – the heads are cut off from the figurines used in the game. (Read more from this story HERE)

British Man Says ISIS Fed a Mother Meat from Her Kidnapped Son’s Body

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Peter Van Buren. A British guy who went to Iraq to fight ISIS says they are bad people. Specifically, he claims ISIS fed a murdered kidnap victim to his own mother after she went to their headquarters and demanded to see him.

Yasir Abdulla, a security guard from Yorkshire decided to go to Iraq and fight against ISIS after hearing they came within six miles of taking control of his home village in Kurdistan, which he left in 2000 . . .

He then joined hundreds of other Kurdish and Peshmerga forces who are trying to stop the spread of ISIS by patrolling a ten-mile frontline in Iraq. His dedication then extended to returning to the UK, where he told a local newspaper . . . how an elderly Kurdish woman, whose son was captured by ISIS and taken to Mosul, went to meet the jihadis to try and secure his release and was then fed his body.

The man said that “She was determined to find her son and went to ISIS headquarters and asked to see him. The ISIS men told her to sit down because she had travelled a long way and said she should have some food before they took her to meet her son. They brought her cups of tea and fed her a meal of cooked meat, rice and soup. She thought they were kind.” (Read more about the man saying ISIS fed his mother a victim HERE, and as originally published in the Daily Mail HERE)

More than a Dozen ISIS Operatives in Libya, but No US Authority to Strike

By Catherine Herridge. More than a dozen Islamic State fighters from Iraq and Syria — some with direct ties to the group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — are now in Libya working on behalf of the terror group, according to U.S. and European sources.

And the U.S. has no authority to take them out.

The fighters are in addition to dozens of ISIS sympathizers in the country. The situation is raising fresh security concerns, as the U.S. and its allies struggle to keep tabs on the many arms of the ever-expanding ISIS network.


One source, who is not authorized to speak on the record given the sensitivity of the data, said they would not be surprised “if the next 9/11 came out of Libya.”

An ISIS presence has been flagged in Benghazi, Derna and Sirte, in addition to training camps providing a steady flow of recruits. But a State Department spokeswoman insisted U.S. policy is not to blame. (Read more from this story HERE)

“I’m a Dead Man Walking”: Jihadi John Tells of Paranoia Before Joining ISIS

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Islamic State killer known as Jihadi John revealed that he knew British security services were closing in on him and that he was a ‘dead man walking’ in astonishing emails to a Mail on Sunday journalist.

His emails were sent before he left Britain to join Islamic State in Syria.

At the time, Mohammed Emwazi, the man now unmasked as the knife-wielding fanatic, was claiming to be an innocent victim of MI5 persecution.

Emwazi, who would go on to orchestrate at least six hostage murders in Syria, said the harassment affected him so badly he was contemplating suicide. ‘I’ll take as many pills as I can so that I will sleep for ever,’ he warned. His emails to Security Editor Robert Verkaik in December 2010 and 2011 offer a remarkable insight into his state of mind at a time when he was already deeply immersed in extremism.

Some verge on the paranoid, with frequent complaints that his every move is being shadowed by intelligence officers. (Read more from “Jihadi John Tells of Paranoia” HERE)

Democrat Facing Backlash for Taking on Obama over ‘Islamist’ Extremism

/3 Comments/in , /by

She was Hawaii’s golden girl after winning a seat in Congress with support from top liberal groups, but now that Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has been critical of President Obama, her political reputation in the bluest of blue states is taking a hit.

That isn’t stopping the twice-deployed 33-year-old Army veteran from continuing to challenge the president, her home state’s favorite son, over his refusal to identify terror groups like the Islamic State as driven by “radical Islam.”

“Every soldier knows this simple fact: If you don’t know your enemy, you will not be able to defeat him,” Gabbard told FoxNews.com. “Our leaders must clearly identify the enemy as Islamist extremists, understand the ideology that is motivating them and attracting new recruits, and focus on defeating that enemy both militarily and ideologically.”

Gabbard has been hitting this message for weeks now, putting her at odds with many in her party who toe the line that the Islamic State should not be associated with Islam.

Gabbard called “mind-boggling” Obama’s refusal to associate ISIS with the Muslim religion, even though the terrorist army is emphatic it is enforcing a strict interpretation of Islam. (Read more about the Democrat taking on Obama HERE)

FBI: ISIS is in Alaska, Putting the Terrorists in All 50 States

/12 Comments/in , /by

Three Brooklyn, New York, residents are behind bars Thursday, charged with conspiring to support the Islamic State . . .

FBI Director James Comey said the agency has current investigations into homegrown radicals in every state.

“Those people exist in every state… Until a few weeks ago there was 49 states. Alaska had none, which I couldn’t quite figure out. But Alaska has now joined the group so we have investigations of people in various stages of radicalizing in all 50 states,” Comey said.

The FBI said more than 20 people in just the past year have been arrested trying to fly from the United States to join ISIS.

The arrests are just the latest examples of the growing dangers of “lone wolf” terrorists inspired by ISIS – and the possibility that more such terrorists could attempt attacks in the future. (Read more about how ISIS is in Alaska HERE)

‘Jihadi John’: Barbaric ISIS Killer Is College Student from London

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Souad Mekhennet and Adam Goldman. The world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.

But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming. He is believed to have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State, the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.

“I have no doubt that Mohammed is Jihadi John,” said one of Emwazi’s close friends who identified him in an interview with The Washington Post. “He was like a brother to me. . . . I am sure it is him.”

A representative of a British human rights group who had been in contact with Emwazi before he left for Syria also said he believed Emwazi was Jihadi John, a moniker given to him by some of the hostages he once held.

“There was an extremely strong resemblance,” Asim Qureshi, research director at the rights group, CAGE, said when shown one of the videos and asked to confirm whether Emwazi could be “Jihadi John.” (Read more about ‘Jihadi John’ HERE)

3 NYC Men Charged in Plot to Join ISIS, Kill Obama

By Jamie Schram, Larry Celona, Selim Algar and Chris Pere. Three America-hating extremists who live in Brooklyn were busted Wednesday in a wide-ranging terror plot that included joining ISIS, killing President Obama, hijacking an airplane and bombing Coney Island, federal officials said.

One of the men was grabbed at JFK Airport attempting to board a 12:30 a.m. flight to Ukraine en route to Turkey, where he allegedly planned to sneak across the border into Syria and become an Islamic State terrorist.

Kazakh national Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, “tried to resist a little bit,” but was quickly overpowered by about 20 members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force who confronted him at the jetway, sources said.


Another defendant, Uzbeki native Abdulrasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, had a plane ticket to Turkey for March 29. He was busted at his home in Brooklyn.

The third man, Arbor Habibov, 30, an illegal alien from Uzbekistan, was arrested in Florida, one of several states where he runs shopping-mall kiosks that sell kitchenware and repair cellphones, according to the feds. (Read more from this story HERE)

The Names: This Is Who ISIS Has Recruited from the United States [+video]

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Joshua Berlinger. These are some of the individuals we know have traveled or tried to join ISIS . . .

U.S. officials say more than 150 fighters have traveled from America to join the militant group. We don’t yet know the identity of any Americans who have successfully made it to ISIS-controlled lands, but we do know the identities of a handful of people who have been accused of trying.

On Wednesday, three men from New York — Abdurasul Juraboev, 24; Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19; and Abror Habibov, 30 — were arrested and charged with conspiring to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. An unsealed criminal complaint accused two of the men of discussing a potential attempt to assassinate President Barack Obama. One of the men had discussed hijacking a flight and handing it over to ISIS, the complaint said.

Four women from Colorado have been accused of attempting to join ISIS. Three Denver teenagers, who investigators say were recruited via social media, were stopped in Germany last October and sent back to the United States. After being arrested in spring 2014, Shannon Maureen Conley was one of the first Americans sentenced for conspiracy to support ISIS.

Two men who have appeared in horrific ISIS propaganda videos could be from the United States or Canada, according to analysts. The individuals — both of whom are shown wearing masks covering everything but their eyes — spoke in what sounded like North American accents. One was in a video entitled “Flames of War,” which shows the execution of a handful of men. The other militant is the speaker in ISIS’ first propaganda video out of Libya, which ends with the graphic beheading of more than a dozen Egyptian Christians.

Watch: A Message to Obama From a Former Muslim About Who ISIS Really is

By Tim Brown. A former Muslim, whose father is an imam blasts Barack Hussein Obama on the issue of Islam. Of course, I’m not expecting Obama to actually take heed to this man’s comments simply because Obama is a stealth jihadist.

Brother Rachid, told Obama, “With all due respect, Sir, I must tell you that you are wrong about ISIL (Islamic State).”

As a former Muslim, Rachid dismissed the claims of Obama who has said that the Islamic State doesn’t speak for any religion.


“I’m a former Muslim,” said Rachid. “My dad is an imam. I spent more than 20 years studying Islam. I hold a bachelor’s degree in religious studies and I’m in the middle of my Master’s degree in terrorism studies. I can tell you with confidence that ISIL speaks for Islam.”

In correcting Obama (something Obama doesn’t need because he knows exactly what the Muslim religion teaches), Rachid said, “ISIL is a Muslim organization.” (Read more about who ISIS really is HERE)

Persecution: ISIS Abducts at Least 150 Christians Throughout Syria; Saudi Arabia Gives Death Penalty to Man Who Renounced Islam

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Suleiman Al- Khalidi. Islamic State militants have abducted at least 150 people from Assyrian Christian villages in northeastern Syria they had raided, Christian Syrian activists said on Tuesday.

A Syrian Christian group representing several NGO’s inside and outside the country said it had verified at least 150 people missing, including women and elderly, who had been kidnapped by the militants.

“We have verified at least 150 people who have been adducted from sources on the ground,” Bassam Ishak, President of the Syriac National Council of Syria, whose family itself is from Hasaka, told Reuters from Amman.

Earlier the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 90 were abducted when the militants carried out dawn raids on rural villages inhabited by the ancient Christian minority west of Hasaka, a city mainly held by the Kurds.

Syrian Kurdish militia launched two offensives against the militants in northeast Syria on Sunday, helped by U.S.-led air strikes and Iraqi peshmerga. (Read more about the abducted Christians throughout Syria HERE)

Saudi Arabia Court Gives Man Death Penalty for Renouncing Muslim Faith

By Richard Spencer. A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a man to death for apostasy after he filmed himself tearing up a copy of the Koran, a new test case for the country’s human rights record just as its most powerful rising prince was visiting Downing Street.

Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the country’s security supremo who was recently made deputy Crown Prince – the presumed heir-but-one to the throne – was due to have dinner with Philip Hammond, the Foreign Secretary, on Tuesday night.

He will meet Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, on Wednesday and then the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary, Theresa May, on Thursday – a sign of how important Saudi Arabia is held to be across a range of key political issues, from the fight against Islamic State to home-grown radicalisation.

Human rights groups were already calling on the government to raise their concerns with the prince, including the case of the blogger Raif Badawi who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes for criticising the country’s religious establishment. (Read more from this story HERE)

The Massacre of Assyrians Christians on Way

By Walid Shoebat. Shoebat.com reported yesterday before it became news, that ISIS attacked the Assyrian villages in the Hasaka province in northeast Syria where ISIS fighters were met by members of Natorehs, a Christian brigade which is also called The Assyrian Guards where Assyrian fighters were killed running low on ammunition and help from anyone in the West while killing tens of ISIS fighters. And the fighting is still ongoing in Tel Tamar. In the process an estimated 117 Christians, elderly, women and children were kidnapped by ISIS.

There were 12 Christians abducted from Tel Hurmiz, 15 from Tel Goran. They have been brought to Jabal Abdul Aziz. The residents of the villages of Tel Shamiran (approximately 50) and Tel Jazira (about 40) are being held captive in their own villages by ISIS.


There approximate number (117) is concluded by adding kidnapped and held. These are as good as dead. Hani Zaya, whose parents, who live in Tel Goran, were abducted by ISIS. According to Mr. Zaya, local Arabs who are members of ISIS and who knew the Assyrian village residents reportedly brought them to “safe-houses” in nearby villages. None of the captives have answered or made telephone calls. Calls made by relatives of the captives have been answered by ISIS members, who have said there is nothing to be done for the hostages.

On top of all this, a number of churches have been destroyed, including the church in Tel Hurmiz, one of the oldest churches in Syria, the Mar Bisho church in Tel Shamiran, the church in Qabr Shamiy and the church in Tel Baloua. (Read more from this story HERE)

‘We’re Making it Easier to Spread Terror’: ISIS Opens English Speaking Schools

/1 Comment/in , /by

By Jamie Schram and Chris Perez. Islamic State militants have opened a pair of English-speaking schools in hopes of teaching jihadi children in Syria how to blend in while visiting other countries — making it “easier to spread terror,” a UN official tells The Post.

“They start out as mini-jihadists and grow up to become adult jihadists,” the official said, speaking under the condition of anonymity.

“The schools are targeting ISIS children who already live in Raqqa,” he added. “They want to give them their form of education, which is teaching them to become jihadists.”

A picture posted online Sunday showing an advertisement for the two schools proves the extremists are trying harder than ever to transform children into Islamic thugs.

“ATTENTION ENGLISH SPEAKING MUHAJIROON!” the ad reads. “By the grace of Allah we have opened schools for English speaking children.” (Read more about ISIS’ attempts to spread more terror HERE)

New ISIS Video Shows Indoctrination of Kids as Young as Five

By Fox News. The latest disturbing video from ISIS shows what the Islamist group touts as the next generation of jihadist killers, pint-sized terror trainees who appear to be as young as 5 participating in drills and reciting verses from the Koran.

The 9-minute video released Monday shows about 70 camouflage-clad kids, who are reportedly the children of foreign fighters who have flocked to Iraq and Syria to join the Islamist army. An instructor states in Arabic that most of the children are in the second phase of training and that they represent the “next generation” of ISIS. The video illustrates the charge in a UN Human Rights Council report last year that determined that Islamic State “has established training camps to recruit children into armed roles under the guise of education.”


“At the camps, the children recruited received weapons training and religious education,” the report stated. “The existence of such camps seems to indicate that ISIS systematically provides weapons training for children.

“Subsequently, they were deployed in active combat during military operations, including suicide-bombing missions,” it stated. (Read more from this story HERE)
