On October 7, 2023, Hamas, the Sunni Muslim terrorist organization that rules Gaza, carried out a massacre in Israel, inflicting atrocities on thousands of helpless civilians, even babies. Billions of people all over the inhabited world cheered, celebrated, gloated. And still do.
Israel struck back. The Israeli Defense Forces invaded Gaza, took all the steps they could - unprecedented in history - to avoid harming civilians but began the necessary process of destroying Hamas. The billions who cheer Hamas revile them for it, call fiercely for the destruction of the state of Israel, of all Israelis, of all Jews.
On Jan. 3, 2024, the Sunni Muslim terrorist organization ISIS - resurrected since President Trump buried it - killed 100 persons in an attack in Shia Muslim Iran.
On January 4, ISIS proudly claimed the attack in an audio statement to the world - which remains uninterested in the event. Serenely unconcerned by it.
Raymond Ibrahim quotes the statement at Middle East Forum.
Excerpts:
The statement begins with a predictable encomium to jihad and the importance of al-wala’ wa’l-bara’ (love for Muslims and hate for non-Muslims). It then moves on to "the crimes of murder and ugly massacres perpetrated by the Jews against the Muslims of Gaza”. …
Lions of Islam: Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on. Understand that you are the arm of the Islamic State hitting in the kuffar’s [infidels’] homelands, and are avenging the Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Sham, and other Muslim countries. Solidify your plans and diversify the attacks: detonate explosives, burn them with grenades and fiery agents, shoot them with bullets, cut their throats with sharp knives, and run them over with vehicles… Come at them from every door, kill them by the worst of means, turn their gatherings and celebrations into bloody massacres, do not distinguish between a civilian kaffir, and a military one… Intentionally seek easy targets before hard ones, civilian targets before military ones, religious targets like synagogues and churches before others, for this will satisfy the soul and will demonstrate the characteristics of the battle, as our battle with them is a religious one and we kill them wherever we come upon them in response to Allah Almighty’s command.
Comment:
According to ISIS, there are no moral principles that apply to everyone equally. Murder and massacre when committed by infidels are “criminal” and “ugly”, but when committed by themselves are right, good, because they are obedient to the will of their god, and the “uglier” they are, the better. “The worst of means” - the cruelest, inflicted preferably on the most helpless and weak - are the best.
It is the moral creed of bloodthirsty idiot savages.
