They would use the ‘freedom of expression’ given to them to spread their beliefs. This put the European governments in a big dilemma. . . .18
Where Have You Gone, Samuel Huntington? (The Clash of Civilizations Is On)
The European governments, the Islamic State claims, solved this dilemma in an ingenious way:
So they plotted a new plot. If the Muslims were going to make ‘Shariah groups’ which stay within the law, then they too will make ‘Anti-Shariah groups’ which stay within the law. So rich anti-Islam people began funding far-right groups in different parts of the world whose only main focus is to fight Islam while staying within the guidelines of the law of the land.19
In a passage that is ironic in light of the Islamic State’s sexual enslavement of hundreds of infidel women, Black Flags from Rome dismisses as “right-wing” “propaganda” the huge scandal of Muslim gangs sexually exploiting young non-Muslim girls in Britain:
These charismatic leaders of right-wing groups would start to recruit more people to their causes, and protests, and would therefore receive even more funding. People who were normally neutral would start to receive their propaganda and start accepting it. The news media outlets would spread news that Muslim males were making ‘grooming gangs’ which abuse ‘white girls’, which would make even more people join the right-wing groups.20
The rising tensions set the stage for what was to come:
In simple words, a clash of civilizations was occurring. A neo-Nazi order was forming in Europe as a reaction to real political Shari’ah-Islam. The future of Europe would be a violent one, until—‘you will raid/attack Rome, and Allah will enable you to conquer it.’21
Bringing It All Back Home
The Syrian jihad enabled thousands of Muslims from Europe to become trained and battle-hardened: “Here they could learn basic armed/shooting combat, assassination techniques, how to make explosives from homemade materials etc.”22
They would bring this training back to their home countries: “There were small armies of the Islamic State within every country of Europe by late 2014, and the intelligence agencies didn’t even know about it! January 2015 was when these shocking secrets would be discovered, and all the world would see the depth of the Islamic State and Al Qa’idah infiltration in Europe.”23 (Note the casual linking of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, with no hint of antagonism between the two.) The way the world discovered the “shocking secrets” was by the Kouachi brothers’ massacre at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris.
ON THE ISLAMIC STATE TO-DO LIST: MURDER MORE “BLASPHEMERS”
In line with the brothers’ murder of the Muhammad cartoonists, Black Flags from Rome endorses al-Qaeda’s hit list of eleven people “wanted dead or alive for crimes against Islam.” Most were Muhammad cartoonists or transgressors of Sharia blasphemy laws in some way. In Black Flags from Rome, the murdered Charlie Hebdo editor Stephane Charbonnier’s face is circled; the others listed are all still alive as of this writing:
•Carsten Juste, the former editor of Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that in 2007 published cartoons of Muhammad that touched off worldwide Muslim riots;
•Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who widely publicized his intention to burn the Qur’an;
•Kurt Westergaard, the artist who drew the most famous of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons;
•Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who is a vocal opponent of the Islamization of Europe;
•Lars Vilks, another Muhammad cartoonist;
•Flemming Rose, culture editor of Jyllands-Posten when the Muhammad cartoons were published, and the man primarily responsible for their publication;
•Morris Saadiq, a Coptic Christian activist who promoted the film about Muhammad, The Innocence of Muslims, that the Obama administration blamed for the September 11, 2012, jihad massacre in Benghazi;
•Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, which got him a death fatwa from the Ayatollah Khomeini for blasphemy against Muhammad;
•Molly Norris, the Seattle Weekly cartoonist who created Everybody Draw Muhammad Day and then went into hiding after receiving death threats;
•Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somali ex-Muslim who collaborated with murdered filmmaker Theo van Gogh on Submission, a film about the oppression of women in Islam that featured Qur’an verses written on the bodies of nude women.24
These were all featured in a graphic depicting pastor Terry Jones being shot in the head, with the legend:
YES WE CAN
A BULLET A DAY KEEPS THE INFIDEL AWAY
Defend Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
All the men were pictured, but in keeping with Islam’s rules of modesty, Norris and Hirsi Ali were fastidiously listed by name only.25 Apparently it is possible to lust after even apostates and blasphemers.
Surprise! The Left Will Help
These will not be the only targets, of course. After describing the Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Cacher attacks in detail, the Islamic State explains how intelligence agencies collect huge amounts of data, “but they will not study it unless you are caught under the radar.”26 As attacks such as the ones in Paris become more common, law enforcement authorities will not be able to keep up:
As the Western nations get poorer, their intelligence collection agencies will continue to exist, but they simply won’t have enough manpower (less jobs) to analyse it all. With less attacks in the West being group (networked) attacks and an increasing amount of lone-wolf attacks, it will be more difficult for intelligence agencies to stop an increasing amount of violence and chaos from spreading in the West.27
As this violence and chaos spreads, Leftist non-Muslim Europeans will help pave the way for the Islamic conquest of Europe, for
a growing population of left-winged activists (people who are against; human/animal abuses, Zionism, and Austerity measures etc) look up to the Muslims as a force who are strong enough to fight against the injustices of the world. . . . Many of these people (who are sometimes part of Anonymous and Anarchy movements) will ally with the Muslims to fight against the neo-Nazis’ and rich politicians. They will give intelligence, share weapons and do undercover work for the Muslims to pave the way for the conquest of Rome.
When will this alliance be cemented? When, sooner or later, Leftist protesters realize that taking up arms alongside Muslims is the only viable way of achieving their goals:
If you have ever been at a pro-Palestine / anti-Israel protest, you will see many activists who are not even Muslims who are supportive of what Muslims are calling for (the fall of Zionism). It is most likely here that connections between Muslims and Left-wing activists will be made, and a portion from them will realise that protests are not effective, and that armed combat is the alternative. So they will start to work together in small cells of groups to fight and sabotage against the ‘financial elite’.28
There Are Lots of Guides to Seeing Europe. This One Is Different
Black Flags from Rome also explains “How to take, hold and expand territory,” saying that “there are already ‘Muslim No Go Zones’ and even ‘White only zones’ existing within European countries,” and explaining how Muslims can steadily expand their zones of control, until ultimately there is a “big national armed force of Muslim fighters. Muslim fighters from all European countries will continue the fight, breaking borders until they can reach; Northern Rome.”29
The e-book details how to make Molotov cocktails and the kinds of bombs that the Tsarnaev brothers used in their jihad attack at the Boston Marathon. It also expresses confidence in the rather unlikely idea that Russia will aid the Muslims in conquering Europe. This wishful thinking exposes the entire plan as rather fanciful, but one aspect of it is quite realistic: at least some Muslims in Europe will be committing murder in the name of Islam, jihad, and the Islamic State in the near future.
There is nothing fanciful about that at all.
Black Flags from Rome ends with a series of photographs of the Colosseum and other Roman l
andmarks. At this point, the e-book starts to resemble a twisted tourist manual. But when the jihadis go sightseeing in Rome, they won’t be armed with cameras and maps. The photographs are included so that, once the jihadis do arrive, they will know where to go with their sledgehammers and drills.
Indeed, they are already there. Late in April 2015, Islamic State supporters in Rome and Milan tweeted photos of landmarks in each city, including the Colosseum in Rome, with signs held in front of them reading, “We are on your streets, we are locating targets.”30
End Times Timetable
There is a timetable to all this. Black Flags from Rome begins with an epigraph from a hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as saying that after the Muslims conquer Rome, the End Times will begin, with Muslims warring against the Antichrist:
‘You will raid/attack Arabia and Allah will give you victory over it, then you will raid/attack Persia (Iran) and Allah will give you victory over it, then you will raid Rome (Italy) and Allah will give you victory over it, then you will raid/attack al-Dajjal (the AntiChrist) and Allah will give you victory over him.’ [Saheeh Muslim [54/50].31
As far as the Islamic State is concerned, that is prophecy that is certain to come true: first the jihadis will conquer Saudi Arabia, then Shi’ite Iran, and then Rome and Europe—at which point their battles will become eschatological, as they will fight and defeat the Dajjal, the Islamic version of the Antichrist, who will make war against the Muslim faithful before the second coming of Jesus Christ the Muslim Prophet and the consummation of all things.
In line with this scenario, the Islamic State sees itself first defeating Russia and Iran, whereupon the Romans—that is, the Europeans—will gather at Dabiq, a northern Syrian town. Why there? Because Muhammad is depicted in the same hadith as also predicting that Dabiq will be the site of the final battle between the believers and the unbelievers:
The Last Hour would not come until the Romans would land at al-A’maq or in Dabiq. An army consisting of the best (soldiers) of the people of the earth at that time will come from Medina (to counteract them). When they will arrange themselves in ranks, the Romans would say: Do not stand between us and those (Muslims) who took prisoners from amongst us. Let us fight with them; and the Muslims would say: Nay, by Allah, we would never get aside from you and from our brethren that you may fight them. They will then fight and a third (part) of the army would run away, whom Allah will never forgive. A third (part of the army) which would be constituted of excellent martyrs in Allah’s eye, would be killed and the third who would never be put to trial would win and they would be conquerors of Constantinople.
Then, apparently the end will come, as Jesus the Muslim Prophet (not to be confused with Jesus the Savior of Christianity) will then return to the earth and defeat the enemies of Allah:
And as they would be busy in distributing the spoils of war (amongst themselves) after hanging their swords by the olive trees, the Satan would cry: The Dajjal [the Antichrist] has taken your place among your family. They would then come out, but it would be of no avail. And when they would come to Syria, he would come out while they would be still preparing themselves for battle drawing up the ranks. Certainly, the time of prayer shall come and then Jesus (peace be upon him) son of Mary would descend and would lead them in prayer. When the enemy of Allah would see him, it would (disappear) just as the salt dissolves itself in water and if he (Jesus) were not to confront them at all, even then it would dissolve completely, but Allah would kill them by his hand and he would show them their blood on his lance (the lance of Jesus Christ).32
The Islamic State, taking all this as a literal foretelling of the future, says that the Europeans will “go on the offensive and arrive with 80 flags to Dabiq (near the Turkish/Syrian border), with more than 100,000 soldiers. This is when the great Malhama (Armageddon begins). It is such a big event that it is even mentioned in Christian Biblical scripture and refers to the time near Judgment Day.”33
Whatever one believes of Christian or Muslim eschatology, that Judgment Day is coming—because the Islamic State is working toward it, and will continue to do so. And because the United States and the European Union, meanwhile, prefer to continue to reassure themselves that this is not a religious war, or even a proper war at all, and that the whole thing will blow over fairly soon, once jihadis have jobs and social standing. But the Islamic State is confident that it will come down to a military showdown. Black Flags from Rome says that the European Union and the United States will fight the Islamic State at Dabiq, while “those who cannot reach Syria go on the offensive elsewhere depending on where they are located.”
Around this time the “puppet rulers in Muslim lands”—that is, rulers of Muslim countries who do not rule by Islamic law and pledge their allegiance to the new caliphate—“may be defeated.” This could be, says Black Flags from Rome, by the year 2020—“equivalent to 100 years since the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate.” If this happens, it will give “Islamic armed groups alot of freedom to travel in Muslim lands, and on the Mediterranean sea, and also to use the airspace to target Europe with missiles they will have now captured from the Arab puppet regimes.”34
WISHFUL THINKING FROM ONE OF THE “PUPPET RULERS IN MUSLIM LANDS”?
“This cowardly Islamic State group . . . does not resemble our religion in any way.”
—King Abdullah II of Jordan35
But despite their faith in this eschatology, there is work for the jihadis to do. The Islamic State envisions itself one day encompassing the entire world, but there are two primary infidel polities that it wants to conquer first and foremost. Besides Rome, there is Israel.
The Apple of Every Jihadi’s Eye
The Islamic State followed Black Flags from Rome (Europe) in April 2015 with another e-book, Black Flags from Palestine (Magic, Deception & War). It envisions the fall of Rome to the Islamic State in 2020 being followed in 2022 by “the beginning of the end of Israel.”36
Israel, we’re told, will soon “expand out to pick up the broken pieces of the war torn countries neighbouring it, so they can make their ‘Greater Israel’ which spans from the Nile (Egypt) to the Euphrates (Iraq).”37 Aware that this claim will be skeptically received, Black Flags from Palestine adds, “Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) informed us: ‘War is deception.’ Mossad’s motto is: ‘by way of deception, you shall do war.’”38
Black Flags from Palestine traffics in a considerable amount of deception of its own, retailing centuries-old blood libels against the Jews as if they were fact, emphasizing the Jews’ use of “black magic” throughout their history, and even providing a summary of nineteenth-century czarist forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as if it were a factual account of Jews’ goals for the world.39
After a concise and highly anti-Jewish history of the Jews, the Islamic State author gets to the heart of the present conflict:
Then World War 2 would begin, some Jews would be put in concentration camps by Germany, only for the survivors to be rewarded with Palestine (why not Germany?) as compensation. No questions were asked. The Palestinians objected to their houses being taken bulldozed, but the world looked away, and continues to look away . . .
Allah had taken away Palestine from the Muslims and given it to their enemy.40
This too, he says, was prophesied by Muhammad:
It’s reported the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (saws) warned the believers that: “The (people) do not break the covenant with Allah and His Messenger, but Allah will enable their enemies to overpower them and take some of what is in their hands.” (source: Ibn Majah)41
The Muslims’ attempt to counter the establishment of Israel foundered because Egypt’s irreligious leader Gamal Abdul Nassir betrayed the Muslim Brotherhood and prevented it from restoring the caliphate:
It is within this era that the Muslim Brotherhood rose in Egypt under the guidance of Hassan al-Banna. His goals were to revive the global Caliphate by a careful plan of winning the Muslim population to an Islam
ic revivalist message through Islamic Da’wah (invitation and teaching), while a secret military arm of the Muslim Brotherhood would infiltrate the Egyptian army and do a coup to remove the king and take hold of power in Egypt. A man called Gamal Abdul Nassir was within this Muslim Brotherhood military wing, but he was not too religious, he craved power a lot.
As soon as the Muslim Brotherhood did the coup, the Egyptian King Farouk was toppled and the Muslim Brotherhood was about to take hold of the reins of power in Egypt. However, Gamal Abdul Nassir suddenly got his own men who rounded up the Muslim Brotherhood members—he knew their names because he had worked with them—and locked them up in prison and put them through Hell-like torture. The Islamic Caliphate-revival cause had been delayed and betrayed by 50 years due to the cursed Arab dictator Gamal Abdul Nassir. . . .42
Without Islam, Arab nations were corrupt, and Arab soldiers were consequently poorly trained:
In the Arab-Israel [conflict], the Egyptian troops had not even received proper training prior to battle. The foot soldiers role in an Arab army before battle was to simply be a servant to the commander, to polish his shoes and to be subservient to his daily chores. The commander could not train him out of fear that he may learn too much armed skills and snatch power behind his back.
Could an army who doesn’t trust its own soldiers really win a battle? This is the state of the Arab world without Islam.43
It was imperative for the Muslims to recover their full obedience to Islam, so that they could cleanse the holy land:
It is the land which Allah has blessed, the land which He has sent thousands of Messengers’ to, and a land which has had many devout worshippers (Arabic: Abdaal) throughout history. The name of this land doesn’t matter; Jerusalem was called Eelya by the Romans and Arabs in the past during the time of Prophet Muhammad (saws). What matters is the moral nature of the people ruling such a blessed place. If they are righteous believers, then they make the people living under them good and righteous in this holy land, but if they are not righteous and cause corruption in this holy land—then that makes them Allah (God)’s enemy. Allah will purify this land from corrupt people, even if they were God’s chosen people.44
