For Ankara, is massacre a policy option? by Thierry Meyssan
Is the new alliance between Turkey and France concerned only with
economic issues, to wit entry into the European Union, or is it purely
political? In this case, must Paris provide cover for Ankara whatever
the policy? Does this support go as far as genocide?
For
the second time, the Obama administration has called Turkey into
question for its support of the Islamic Emirate (Daesh). First, October
2, Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, in a speech at the
Kennedy School at Harvard. [1] Then on October 23, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, David S. Cohen, before the Carnegie Foundation [2]. Both accused Ankara of supporting the jihadis and selling the oil they steal in Iraq and Syria.
In the face of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s denials, Biden had
apologized. The Turkish government had allowed the PKK to come to the
aid of Kobané Syrian Kurds besieged by Daesh. Alas! the behavior of
Ankara was not convincing and Washington renewed its accusations.Sunday, October 26, 2014

Austria: Civil Law vs. Sharia Law, by Soeren Kern
Austria has emerged as a major base for radical Islam and as a central hub for European jihadists to fight in Syria.
The proposed revisions would, among other changes, regulate the training and hiring of Muslim clerics, prohibit the foreign funding of mosques, and establish an official German-language version of the Koran to prevent its "misinterpretation" by Islamic extremists.
Muslims would be prohibited from citing Islamic sharia law as legal justification for ignoring or disobeying Austrian civil laws.
Leaders of Austria's Muslim community counter that the contemplated new law amounts to "institutionalized Islamophobia."
Official statistics show that nearly 60% of the inhabitants of Vienna are immigrants or foreigners. The massive demographic and religious shift underway in Austria, traditionally a Roman Catholic country, appears irreversible.

Egyptian Gov't Says ISIS Came from Muslim Brotherhood, by Ryan Mauro
Egyptian President El-Sisi is forcefully arguing that the U.S. is erring in focusing only on the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda.
The Egyptian Minister of Religious Endowments says that the Islamic State terrorist group (also known as ISIS or ISIL) was birthed from the Muslim Brotherhood movement, according to an October 13 report in an Egyptian newspaper called the Seventh Day.
Other Egyptian leaders have made the case in recent days that the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist terrorist groups belong in the same category as the Islamic State. The Egyptian government has banned the Muslim Brotherhood and its Palestinian branch, Hamas, as terrorist groups.
According to the report, Dr. Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa said that the Muslim Brotherhood is the progenitor of the Islamic State and similar terrorist groups. He accused the Brotherhood of disrupting education at Egyptian universities and said the group is harmful to Islam.

German, Saudi, and Turkish Islamic State fighters launch complex suicide attack, by Bill Roggio
The Islamic State has claimed a deadly, complex suicide attack in a town north of Baqubah in Iraq's Diyala province that killed at least 25 people.
The suicide attack in Diyala took place today in the town of Qara Qubah, and targeted a government complex. Reuters reported that the attack was executed using three car bombs driven by suicide bombers, and 25 people, including civilians and troops, were killed and more than 60 were wounded.
The Islamic State claimed that the attack was carried out by three foreign fighters: Abu Sarah al Almani, from Germany; Abu Muhammad al Jazrawi, from Saudi Arabia; and Abu Turab al Turki, from Turkey, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which obtained and translated three statements from the group that were released on Twitter.

Turkey: Jihad-Lite,by Burak Bekdil
Turkish and U.S. officials are now planning to push the "moderates" onto the battlefield. The "moderates" -- Islamists featuring lighter shades of jihad -- will be trained at a military base in Turkey to specialize in bombing, subversion and ambush, paid for by U.S. taxpayers, and expected to fight Islamists featuring darker shades of jihad.
The "moderates" are a potential threat to Western security interests. They are potential allies of Turkey's Islamists.
If Turkey had not funded and armed ISIS in the hope that it would bring Assad's downfall, none of this would have happened.

Did ISIS Use Chemical Weapons Against the Kurds in Kobani? by Jonathan Spyer
WARNING: This post contains images which some readers may find disturbing. Caution is advised.
The fate of Kobani city now hangs in the balance, as around 9000 fighters of the Islamic State organization close in on the Kurdish held area. The current IS assault on the Kobani enclave was not the first attempt by the jihadis to destroy the Kurdish-controlled area.

Gang Rapes, 'Junior Jihadists' and Runaway Sharia, by Soeren Kern
"Islam is a religion of peace and has nothing to do with the ideology of our enemies." — Home Secretary Theresa May, on the beading of David Haines by IS in Syria.Islam-related issues were widespread in Britain during the month of September 2014. What follows is a summary of the main stories, presented in three broad themes.
The documentary did not shed light on why the British government continues to allow Sharia law to take precedence over UK law by tolerating polygamy.
"You've got an eight, nine, 10-year-old child playing those kind of violent games with heads blowing off and limbs blowing off. What kind of mentality is that kid going to have?" — Convicted terrorist Shahid Butt blaming video games for radicalization of Muslim youth.
"Gangs raping children get let off and ignored, people making comments about it get chased down and treated more severely than the rapists." — Angry citizen in South Yorkshire
ISIS is a scenario to destroy Russia
The UN Security Council unanimously,
which is a rare occasion during the recent years, adopted a resolution

ISIS: Can the West Win Without a Ground Game?, by Jonathan Spyer
The United States and its allies have launched a military campaign whose
stated goal is, in the words of President Barack Obama, to "degrade and
ultimately destroy" the Islamic State (I.S., also known as ISIS or
ISIL) established by Sunni jihadis in a contiguous land area stretching
from western Iraq to the Syrian-Turkish border.
As the aerial campaign begins in earnest, many observers are wondering what exactly its tactical and strategic objectives are, and how they will be achieved. A number of issues immediately arise.
Any state—even a provisional, slapdash, and fragile one like the jihadi entity now spreading across Iraq and Syria—cannot be "destroyed" from the air. At a certain point, forces on the ground will have to enter and replace the I.S. power. It is not yet clear who is to play this role—especially in the Islamic State's heartland of Raqqa province in Syria.

Turkey comes too close to its own disintegration, by Lyuba Lulko
Turkey and Europe have witnessed violent protests of the Kurds who,
according to Turkish and Western media, are extremely concerned about
the activities of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan in Syria. The West had
been pedaling the creation of the Kurdish state with a view to finally
solve the problem of Bashar al-Assad. Yet, Recep Erdogan stood on the
way. The Turkish PM is facing a dilemma: either to preserve the
integrity of the state or ruin relations with ISIL.
Time to Kick Turkey Out of NATO?, by Jonathan Schanzer
The Kurdish town of Kobane in western Syria is under siege by the Islamic State. A U.S.-led coalition has hit at the jihadists sieging Kobane—with 13 strikes on Wednesday and Thursday—but bombs alone may not suffice. It is the Turkish military, whose tanks are currently sitting on the Syrian border, that may be in the best position to save stave off a mass slaughter. But the Turks refuse to join the fight, even though the Turkish Parliament voted on Oct. 2 to deploy the Turkish army to fight in Iraq and Syria, and to allow foreign troops on Turkish soil. A week after the vote, Turkey has not participated in any U.S.-led operations against the Islamic State.

ISIS: All the things that nobody told you, by Giovanni Giacalone
The US President Barrack Obama admitted
during a CBS interview that the United States underestimated the
opportunity that a war-torn Syria would provide for the comeback of
extremist militant groups. He defined Iraq and Syria as "ground zero for
jihadists around the world".
According to Obama, the head of the Us
intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that they
underestimated what had been going on in Syria. [1]
At the beginning of September Obama had
also claimed that "the war on ISIS would last at least 3 years" and a
few weeks later the Senate passed a bill authorizing Obama to begin
arming "moderate" rebels in Syria as part of a plan to step up the US
military campaign against ISIS militants.
The bill allocates $500 million not only
to the arming and training of Syrian rebels, but also to the expansion
of US military action in Iraq. Included in the bill is also the
extension of US government funding until December 11.
In the meantime the coalition, which
includes the US, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab
Emirates, have begun the airstrikes against Isis targets in Syria and
Iraq.
Western Fear of Angering Turkey Leaves Besieged Kurdish Town at Mercy of Islamic State, by Jonathan Spyer
The fate of the Kurdish enclave in Kobani appears to be sealed. The
greater part of the formerly Kurdish-ruled area has already fallen to
the forces of Islamic State. Some 9,000 Islamic State fighters are
positioned close to the last remaining redoubt – Kobani city itself. The
black flag of the Sunni Islamists is already flying in three
neighborhoods of the city.

ΗΠΑ κατά Τζιχαντιστών: Έχουν το Διεθνές Δίκαιο με το μέρος τους; του Ανδρέα Μπανούτσου
Το άρθρο αυτό γράφτηκε για το rizopoulospost.com και αναδημοσιεύεται από το RIMSE.
Στο σημερινό μας άρθρο θα εξετάσουμε αν και κατά πόσον η στρατιωτική επέμβαση των ΗΠΑ και της Δύσης με την υποστήριξη ορισμένων Αραβικών κρατών κατά των Τζιχαντιστών του Ισλαμικού Κράτους (IS-ISIS) και του Μετώπου Αλ-Νούσρα στη Συρία και το Ιράκ είναι συμβατή με το Διεθνές Δίκαιο και τη Θεωρία του Δίκαιου Πολέμου.
Σύμφωνα με τη Θεωρία του Δίκαιου Πολέμου (Just War Theory) για να χαρακτηριστεί ένας πόλεμος δίκαιος ως προς τη κήρυξη και διεξαγωγή του θα πρέπει να πληροί ορισμένα κριτήρια: δίκαια υπόθεση, νόμιμη δικαιοδοσία, καλές προθέσεις, πιθανότητα επιτυχίας, έσχατο μέσο και αναλογικότητα. Ας δούμε όμως συνοπτικά τι σημαίνουν τα προαναφερθέντα κριτήρια και ας εξετάσουμε αν η στρατιωτική επέμβαση των ΗΠΑ και της Δύσης πληροί τα κριτήρια αυτά.

Η εμβέλεια των Ισλαμιστικών τρομοκρατικών οργανώσεων στα Βαλκάνια, του Ιωάννη Μιχαλέτου
Απαρχής της δεκαετίας του '90 και των πολέμων στην πρώην Νοτιοσλαβία, το φαινόμενο των Μουτζαχεντίν ή Τζιχαντιστών επεκτάθηκε σε σημείο που μπορεί οποιοσδήποτε αντικειμενικός παρατηρητής να σημειώσει ευκρινώς την παγκόσμια διάσταση και σημασία των εγκατεστημένων στα Βαλκάνια τρομοκρατών.
Beyond The Islamic State: Iraq's Sunni Insurgency, by Sinan Adnan with Aaron Reese
The Islamic State of Iraq and al
Sham (ISIS) is not the only violent group opposed to the government of Iraq.
Groups ranging from Salafist-jihadist to Sunni nationalist have also been
mobilized against Baghdad since at least 2013. They remain a threat to the
government even if ISIS is removed, especially if the core concerns of Iraqi
Sunnis remain unaddressed by the Iraqi government. The primary grievances of
most Iraqi Sunnis include the integration of Shi‘a militias into the Iraqi
Security Forces (ISF), attacks by the ISF in Sunni civilian areas, and
political exclusion in Baghdad.

Turkey, the Kurds and Iraq: The Prize and Peril of Kirkuk, by Reva Bhalla
In June 1919, aboard an Allied warship en route to Paris, sat Damat
Ferid Pasha, the Grand Vizier of a crumbling Ottoman Empire. The elderly
statesman, donning an iconic red fez and boasting an impeccably groomed
mustache, held in his hands a memorandum that he was to present to the
Allied powers at the Quai d'Orsay. The negotiations on postwar
reparations started five months earlier, but the Ottoman delegation was
prepared to make the most of its tardy invitation to the talks. As he
journeyed across the Mediterranean that summer toward the French shore,
Damat Ferid mentally rehearsed the list of demands he would make to the
Allied powers during his last-ditch effort to hold the empire together.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia 'have ignited time bomb by funding global spread of radical Islam', by David Blair
Qatar and Saudi Arabia have ignited a "time
bomb" by funding the global spread of radical Islam, according to a
former commander of British forces in Iraq.
General
Jonathan Shaw, who retired as Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff in
2012, told The Telegraph that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were primarily
responsible for the rise of the extremist Islam that inspires Isil
terrorists.
Behind the anti-terror alibi, the gas war in the Levant, by Thierry Meyssan
Though everyone adheres to Washington and its Gulf allies’ anti-terrorist discourse, everyone understands that it is only a rhetorical justification for a war that has other purposes. The United States say they want to destroy the Islamic Emirate which they created and which performs for them the ethnic cleansing necessary to its plan for the remodeling of the "Broader Middle East". Stranger still, they say they want to fight in Syria alongside the moderate opposition which is composed of the same jihadists. Finally, they destroyed Rakka buildings that had been evacuated two days earlier by the Islamic Emirate. For Thierry Meyssan, behind these apparent contradictions the gas war continues.

Chechen unit from Islamic State reportedly fighting at Kobane, by Bill Roggio & Caleb Weiss
In a video released by 'Amaq News, an unofficial news organization affiliated with the Islamic State, several Russian-speaking fighters are shown taking positions overlooking the Kurdish city of Kobane (or Ayn al Arab in Arabic). The fighters, according to the video's title, are Chechen and more than likely belong to a group loyal to Omar al Shishani, a senior military leader in the Islamic State. The Islamic State has been battling forces from the PKK-linked People's Protection Units, or YPG, for control of the Syrian town. [See Threat Matrix report, Islamic State advances near Kobane.]

Jihadists launch multiple suicide bombings in Libya, by Caleb Weiss
The Benghazi Revolutionaries Shura Council has taken responsibility for a series of suicide bombings in and around the restive city of Benghazi yesterday that targeted forces loyal to former Libyan general Khalifa Haftar. The attacks killed dozens of Libyan soldiers at the Benina International Airport and four more in a separate attack on a checkpoint in Qubah, east of Benghazi.
Al Arabiya reported that "two cars loaded with explosives targeted a military checkpoint near Benina International Airport in Benghazi." According to Al Jazeera, the airport houses "heavy weaponry" which the militants are fighting to obtain. Al Jazeera also claims that up to "four separate suicide attacks targeted the Benina air base." Following the suicide bombings, heavy clashes occurred near the airport, with government airstrikes allegedly being used in defense.
Η αποχριστιανοποίηση της Ευρώπης και η ιδιωτική επίσκεψη του κ.Τσίπρα στο Βατικανό, του Γεωργίου Δίελλα
Η επίσκεψη του προέδρου του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ στο Βατικανό και η επίσης

διεθνούς αναγνώρισης και εμβέλειας του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ και του αρχηγού του.
Η αλήθεια γι’ αυτήν την ανεπίσημη επίσκεψη, είναι εντελώς
διαφορετική. Στο επίσημο πρόγραμμα του Ποντίφικα όπως αυτό αποτυπώνεται στην

The New "Moderates": ISIS Fig Leaf for Other Extremists, by Samuel Westrop
The emergence of ultra-violent groups in the Middle East has allowed non-violent extremist groups in the West to claim an undeserved moral credibility. ISIS is the ideal fig-leaf. Even al-Qaeda, by comparison, now looks "moderate."
Many of those Muslim groups that condemned ISIS have a long history of promoting extremism themselves. It turns out, for example, that senior officials at Al Muntada Trust -- which recently published a statement condemning ISIS, signed by nine other Islamic organizations -- have worked closely with Nabil al-Awadi, a "key financier" of ISIS.
Jihad in Syria and the “Balkanic connection”, by Giovanni Giacalone
When
analyzing the links between Isis and
countries like Italy and Austria one evident common denominator that emerges is
the so called “Balkanic connection”,
which means that in both these countries a conspicuous role on jihadist
propaganda and recruitment is covered by radical networks runt by individuals
from the Balkans, especially Bosnia-Herzegovina.
In some way
we could draw a parallel with the “Milan-Vienna-Sarajevo” triangle that became
well-known in the 90’s during the civil war in Bosnia, when hundreds of foreign
fighters, mainly from Arab countries, who joined the Mujahid unit, found
financial and logistical support in the two European cities on their way to
fight in Bosnia.

Απειλή των Τζιχαντιστών στο Κόσοβο, του Ιωάννη Μιχαλέτου

Pro-al Qaeda ideologues propose truce between Islamic State, rivals, by Thomas Joscelyn & Oren Adaki
Leading jihadist ideologues, including several openly allied with al Qaeda, have proposed a truce between the Islamic State and its rivals. The initiative, which is being promoted on Twitter, aims to bring together the warring jihadist factions in Iraq and Syria against the West.
The proposal, titled "An Initiative and Call for a Ceasefire Between Factions in Syria," was released online on Sept. 30. "Due to the Crusader attack on our Muslim brothers in Syria and Iraq," the authors argue, the jihadists must set aside their violent disagreements.
