The jihad doesn’t end. It may be stopped for awhile in one place or another, but the jihadis believe they’re fighting a 1,400-year struggle, one they will pass on to their sons and grandsons. Patience is their hallmark, a quality that is notably lacking in Western governments.
“More than 10 villages southwest of Kirkuk are now under ISIS control, Official says,” Shafaq, July 19, 2021:
Shafaq News/ Sources in Kirkuk reported, on Monday, that more than 10 villages between the districts of Al-Riyadh and Al-Rashad, southwest of the Governorate, are now under ISIS control.
A source in the 56th Brigade of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Hawija district told Shafaq News Agency, “About 10-15 villages in remote areas between Al-Riyadh and Al-Rashad are under ISIS control due to the absence of the security forces.”
The source confirmed, “ISIS elements are forcing the residents to provide the supplies and food,” noting that “the residents yielded to ISIS demands to preserve their lives and properties.”
In turn, the director of the Al-Riyadh district, Muhammad Ahmad Al-Obeidi, confirmed ISIS influence and in the villages located between Al-Rashad and Al-Riyadh.”…

The Ummah has a successful patient long-game strategy for victory. We don’t. We’re losing the war. Per Islamic Law, this zero-sum war won’t end until the world is either 100% Islamic, or 0% Islamic: Co-existing is not an option.

Yep, and the slaughter anew.

Rebuilding the Caliphate. I’m sure ISIS knows that Biden will not stop them as Trump did.
Infidel says
At this point, though, I doubt that either BIden or Trump would be in a mood to send fresh troops there. Trump eliminated them b’cos they were the reason being given to him to not pull out of Syria

Putting the kibosh on the Islamic State was actually a good thing.
Infidel says
True, but the point I was making was that they were already 95% eliminated, and the military top brass insisted that they be 100% eliminated before troops were pulled out, so the president approved that
Of course, now they are there in other countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Philippines, Nigeria…

Infidel, ISIS was not 95% eliminated when they had full control of the Islamic State.
Infidel says
Of course! Once the Turks were allowed to dictate the political arrangement in Northern Iraq and Eastern Syria, did anyone expect anything else? If one wants ISIS to remain eliminated, one would also need to eliminate Turkey!

Jesus described Allah in John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts (rape, polygamy, pedophilia, incest) of your father ye will do. He was a murderer (jihad, suicide bombing) from the beginning, and abode not in the truth (taqyyia-lying to promote or protect Islam), because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Muslim terrorists are being allowed to take control of entire countries, and the silence from Western Muslims is deafening.
Two things:
1. They approve.
2. They are terrified of the violent reaction of their fellow Muslims if they make any comment against the terrorism.
gravenimage says
Yep.
