ISIL-Affiliated Extremist Group Executes 100-Year-Old Man

Story out of Egypt:

Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis – ISIS-affiliated extremist group in Egypt – has released images purporting to show the execution of a 100-year-old man.

The group, who rebranded as ISIS-Sinai when they pledged allegiance to the extremist group holding swathes of Iraq and Syria, killed Sheikh Sulaiman Abu Haraz after kidnapping him earlier.

Pictures were posted on the Twitter accounts of the group's supporters. They showed one of the men, elderly with a white beard and kneeling in an orange jumpsuit with his neck pressed against a steel stand. Masked ISIS executioners dressed in black raised long swords over his head.

Locals identified the man as the blind Sufi sheikh Suleiman Abu Heraz, who was abducted two weeks ago from his farm south of the peninsula's town of el-Arish. The second man was identified as sheikh Said Abdel-Fattah, a top Religious Endowment cleric abducted a month ago. Cont.

'Haram' - As Muslim Women Take Up The Fight, ISIL Terrorists Cower

As the offensive to capture ISIS’s de facto capital of Raqqa continues in Syria, hundreds of Kurdish women are taking part in the fighting. For 23-year-old Kaziwar, the assault is an opportunity to avenge the terror’s group mistreatment of women.

“Our taking part in the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) is revenge for the women who were kidnapped in Sinjar (in Iraq) and sold (as sex slaves) in markets,” declared Kaziwar. Roughly 3,200 Yazidi women, members of the minority group native to the Sinjar area, are believed to remain enslaved by ISIS.

Perhaps the best part of being women soldier, Kaziwar continues, is that ISIS militants “feel shame at the idea of being killed by a woman, something which they regard as ‘haram’ (forbidden).

“When they hear our voices, they get very scared, whereas we at the front, we break out into ‘youyous’ (ululate) every time we advance,” said Kaziwar.

Rojda Felat, 38, a local commander in the YPJ, says that she and the other women are proud to contradict male stereotypes about what women are capable of. “Often, in military matters, people look down on women with condescension, claiming we’re too delicate, that we wouldn’t dare carry a knife or a gun,” said Felat. “But you can see for yourself that in the YPJ we can operate a dushka, we know how to use mortars and we can conduct demining operations,” she added, smiling. Cont.

“Rejoice With Support From Allah" - ISIL Ecstatic Over Trump Rise To Power

ISIS reacted to the news of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency with jubilation, although that elation may subside if Trump follows through on his avowed plan to team up with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Rejoice with support from Allah, and find glad tidings in the imminent demise of America at the hands of Trump,” wrote al-Minbar Jihadi Media, an ISIS-affiliated network, on their website, according to a report by The Washington Post. “Trump’s win of the American presidency will bring hostility of Muslims against America as a result of his reckless actions, which show the overt and hidden hatred against them.”

Even anonymous social media users were chiming in.

“9/11 was the beginning of the renaissance of the Muslim nation. 11/9 will be the beginning of the fall of the Satan (America) of this age,” wrote Khorasani, a social media user who also cited Trump’s open bigotry against Muslims as proof of American ignorance. Cont.

"Depraved" - ISIL Using Thousands Of Human Shields As Death Toll Rises In The Fight For Mosul

Story out of Mosul, Iraq:

ISIS appears to be using tens of thousands of people as human shields in and around Mosul, where Iraqi forces are waging a large-scale offensive aimed at retaking the country's second largest city, the UN human rights office said Friday.

It has received reports of more than 200 people being killed for refusing to comply with ISIS orders or previously belonging to Iraqi security forces. It said "credible reports" suggest the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been forcing tens of thousands from their homes in districts around Mosul.

The militant group's "depraved, cowardly strategy is to attempt to use the presence of civilian hostages to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations, effectively using tens of thousands of women, men and children as human shields," spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said in Geneva.

U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Matthew C. Isler said Iraqi troops on Friday were consolidating gains made east and south of the city earlier this week, but insisted "momentum" was still on their side.

Isler says the U.S.-led coalition has stepped up airstrikes against the militants, and is carrying out three times as many as it did during previous campaigns to drive ISIS from other Iraqi cities. Cont. (Video)

ISIL Loyalists Murder 59 Cadets At Police Training Facility In Pakistan, Injure More Than 100

Story out of Quetta, Pakistan:

Militant group Islamic State said on Tuesday that fighters loyal to its movement attacked a police training college in Quetta in southwest Pakistan in a raid that officials said killed 59 people and wounded more than 100.

Pakistani authorities have blamed another militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), for the late-Monday siege, though the Islamic State claim included photographs of three alleged attackers.

Hundreds of trainees were stationed at the college on the city outskirts when masked gunmen stormed in. Some cadets were taken hostage during the raid, which lasted nearly five hours. Most of the dead were cadets.

Islamic State's Amaq news agency published the claim of responsibility, saying three IS fighters "used machine guns and grenades, then blew up their explosive vests in the crowd."

Monday night's assault on the police college was the deadliest in Pakistan since a suicide bomber killed 70 people in an attack on mourners gathered at a Quetta hospital in August. That attack was claimed by IS, and also by a Pakistani Taliban faction, Jamaat-ur-Ahrar. Cont.

Man Stabbed 8 At Minnesota Mall While Referencing Allah Before Being Shot

This doesn't seem to be directly related to middle eastern terrorism, but when new information is available, Allah get back to you.

Story out of St Cloud, Minnesota: 

A knife-wielding suspect dressed in a private security uniform made references to Allah while attacking at least nine people during a mass stabbing incident at a Minnesota shopping mall, authorities said. He was shot dead by an off-duty police officer.

At a news conference Sunday, FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Rick Thornton said the attack was being investigated as a possible act of terrorism and that agents were still digging into the attacker's background and possible motives. Authorities were looking at social media accounts and the attacker's electronic devices and talking to his associates, Thornton said.

An Islamic State-run news agency, Rasd, claimed Sunday that the attacker was a "soldier of the Islamic State" who had heeded the group's calls for attacks in countries that are part of a U.S.-led anti-IS coalition.

It was not immediately clear if the extremist group had planned the attack or even knew about it beforehand. IS has encouraged so-called "lone wolf" attacks. It has also claimed past attacks that are not believed to have been planned by its central leadership.

Authorities didn't identify the attacker, but the Star Tribune of Minneapolis said the man's father identified him as Dahir A. Adan, 22. Speaking to the newspaper through an interpreter, Ahmed Adan, whose family is Somali, said his son was born in Africa and had lived in the U.S. for 15 years.

Ahmed Adan said police told him around 9 p.m. Saturday that his son had died at the mall, and that police had raided the family's apartment, seizing photos and other materials. He said police said nothing to him about the mall attack, and that he had "no suspicion" that his son had been involved in terrorist activity, the newspaper reported. Cont.

Teen Planning To Bomb An Elton John Concert, Thwarted After Discussing It Online

Story out of London, England:

A London teen is being accused of planning a bomb attack at a Elton John gig.

Haroon Ali Syed, 19, was allegedly planning to strike a concert at the gay singer-songwriter’s performance at London’s Hyde Park on the anniversary of 9/11.

The projected death count would have been on the scale of the worst terror attacks in the UK, on the scale of the 7/7 London bombings.

Prosecutor Thomas Halpin told Westminster magistrates’ court Syed discussed his plans online before meeting a man with £150 to pay a bomb maker.

A prosecutor said: ‘What started out as professed intent to become a suicide bomber crystallised into a plan to kill as many “Kuffar’”(unbelievers) as possible with a nail bomb.’

Last month, police claim Syed made applications for loans worth £8,000 to finance the attack but all were declined.

He is also alleged to have watched ISIS beheading videos for a month.

Syed, of Hounslow, west London, is charged with preparing acts of terrorism between 12 April and 9 September. Cont.

'Death To Gays' Islamic Preacher Imprisoned For 5 Years After Pledging Allegiance To ISIL

The hardline Islamic preacher is the former UK head of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun or Islam4UK, which was banned in the UK in 2010.

He suggested at a press conference in 2009 that gay people should be stoned to death, and has maintained that stance since.

Choudary, who frequently causes controversy with his extremist views and high-profile protests, had faced charges under terrorism laws for calling on social media for people to support ISIS.

He was charged alongside Mohammed Rahman, 32, of Whitechapel, east London, with one offence under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which bans people from “inviting support for a proscribed organisation."

Today, Mr Choudary was jailed for five and a half years after backing the group in an oath of allegiance published online. Cont.

Iraqi Man Celebrated As Hero After Hugging Suicide Bomber

Story out of Balad, Iraq:

The story of a man in Iraq has gone viral after news emerged that he reportedly hugged a suicide bomber to prevent him from doing any damage to others when he detonated his suicide belt.

Najih Shaker Al-Baldawi has been hailed a hero with many calling for him to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom following his heroic sacrificial actions.

The terrorist, who was apparently a member of the so called Islamic State, detonated his belt when Najih wrapped himself around him, killing the pair of them instantly but harming nobody else.

The incident occurred as the terrorist was travelling to the Sayyed Mohammad Shrine in Balad, Iraq, where he was planning to assist in the ISIS attacks against the place of worship.

But Najih noticed his suicide belt and, without even thinking, approached the man and hugged him to shield others from the effect of the blast. Cont.

Calgary Family Finds Out Their House Is On ISIL Hit List

'Knock, knock'... did you order a pizza from الله أكبر ? Story out of Calgary, Alberta:

A Calgary man is worried about the safety of his family after police notified him his house is on an ISIS hit list.

There are 151 Canadians on the ISIS list, which contains the names, email and physical addresses of some 8,300 people around the globe. Although there is no indication anyone has been harmed, police are contacting the people named out of a "duty to inform."

The 32-year-old Calgary man bought the house eight months ago and believes the address was attached to a previous resident's web account that was hacked.

"They basically said (RCMP), 'Just keep your eyes open, anything suspicious, any unknown packages on your deck, call her as soon as possible.'"

The uncertainty has been trying, but the man, a Calgary native who works as a landscaper, is trying to remain calm.

"I don't believe they're going to go and attack a residential house, but who knows? Whoever was living here might have stirred some crap up with them."

But just in case, he's installing a security system and not taking any chances. Cont.

Hackers Attack ISIL Twitter Accounts With Links To Gay Porn

Twitter accounts belonging to supporters of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) have been hacked in the wake of the Orlando shooting, with jihadist content replaced with gay pride messages and links to gay pornography.

A hacker affiliated with the hacktivist collective Anonymous, who uses the online moniker WauchulaGhost, first began hijacking pro-ISIS Twitter accounts several months ago. Following the mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 13, the hacker decided to replace ISIS imagery posted to the accounts with rainbow flags and pro-LGBT messages.

“I did it for the lives lost in Orlando,” the hacker tells Newsweek. “Daesh [ISIS] have been spreading and praising the attack, so I thought I would defend those that were lost. The taking of innocent lives will not be tolerated.”

WauchulaGhost does not disclose his real name or exact location, other than to say he is based in the United States and that “shit is getting too close to home.” Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

"Regrettable Misprint" - School Claims Typo After Muslim Student Is Labeled "ISIS" In Yearbook

Story out of Rancho Cucamonga, California:

Bayan Zehlif is not Isis. Or ISIS.

But that's how the Muslim student discovered she was identified in the latest edition of the yearbook at her Rancho Cucamonga, California, high school.

Zehlif posted a photo of her yearbook photo to Twitter, saying only, "I guess I'm Isis in the yearbook"

"I am extremely saddened, disgusted, hurt and embarrassed that the Los Osos High School yearbook was able to get away with this," she wrote on Facebook. "The school reached out to me and had the audacity to say that this was a typo. I beg to differ, let's be real."

The Los Angeles Times quoted Chaffey Joint Union High School District Supt. Mat Holton as saying Zehlif was incorrectly identified as another student whose first name is Isis. The Times quoted Holton as saying that the district will take "appropriate actions" if officials find that anyone involved in the situation "acted irresponsibly and intentionally."

Susan Petrocelli, the principal of Los Osos High, apologized on Twitter, saying officials are working to understand and correct what she called a "regrettable misprint." Cont. (Video/Autoplay)

Anti-Vaxxer Mother Turned ISIL Supporter Arrested Last Month

A link between drinking turpentine and Islamic extremism, think about it.

Before she was tweeting in support of ISIS, a Missouri mom was blogging about vaccines causing autism and “chemtrails” poisoning Americans.

Safya Yassin was arrested last month for threatening the lives of federal agents with pro-ISIS messages. But her complete online trail raises the question of whether she was a true believer in the Islamic State or just a lonely single mother who yearned for attention. Members of her family, for what it’s worth, think she’s anything but a Muslim fanatic.

On Feb. 18, the Federal Bureau of Investigation took Yassin into custody after they said she “retweeted the personal identifiable information of two FBI agents with the statement ‘Wanted to Kill.’” Yassin also allegedly shared photos and addresses of U.S. military personnel and tweeted that a “media personality ‘would be better off without her head,’” the complaint added.

“The real story is, she’s not a terrorist,” her aunt, Sandra Mick, told The Daily Beast. “She retweeted and reposted what other people had posted, that’s the story.”

“She’s never been outside this country. I doubt she’s even met a real Muslim,” Mick said.

More than 80 people have been charged with ISIS-related crimes in the U.S. since 2014. Most of the accused were not planning attacks on the homeland. Instead, they’re believed to have tried to go abroad to join the caliphate or given money to the cause. For others, the involvement was largely virtual. Last year, an Ohio man was arrested after reblogging a GIF of military servicemembers that said “kill them wherever you find them.” Cont.

Man Denied Bank Payment Because Of His Dog's Terrorist Name

Here boy! Here HAMAS! Story out of San Francisco, California:

Sometimes terrorists move on all fours. That’s what Chase Bank apparently decided when it wouldn’t clear a payment for a disabled man’s dog walker. It was the dog’s name that led to the payment being bounced and the Treasury Department being involved.

The nine-year-old service pitbull mongrel acts as a companion and friend to Bruce Francis of San Francisco, who has a rare form of MS and gets around by wheelchair.  

According to Fox, Francis was doing his routine payment to his dog walker earlier in March, by using his online account with Chase Bank. He had filled in his dog’s name into the memo line of the form. But the dog walker told Francis he hadn’t got the check.

The owner logged into his account to investigate, and found the following message: “Please explain what Dash means.”

Yes – that is one of the most common names a dog could have in an English-speaking country. But if that’s the case with your dog, just think of something else when you fill in that form, preferably something that doesn’t sound like 'Daesh' – the Arabic name for Islamic State (IS/ISIS, formerly ISIL). Cont.

Stolen Radioactive Material Could Fall Into The Hands Of ISIL

Iraq is searching for potentially deadly radioactive material that was stolen late last year, officials said.

The material was contained in an industrial radiography device that vanished in November, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told NBC News on Wednesday. Its disappearance has raised fears the material could fall into the hands of ISIS fighters who control parts of the country.

An Iraqi environment ministry document seen by NBC News also confirmed the reported theft from a storage facility linked to Weatherford, a U.S. oilfield services company.

The IAEA said the missing "Ir-192 radioactive source in a shielding container" was classified as a Category 2 radioactive substance that, if not managed properly, could be fatal to someone exposed for a period of hours to days.

The State Department said it was aware of the reports and was monitoring the situation. However, spokesman Mark Toner said it had "not seen any indication that the material in question is being acquired by [ISIS] or any other terrorist group in the region." Cont.

ISIL Fears Swine Flu Might Finnish Off What's Left Of Them

Panicking ISIS could be crippled by the deadly virus after residents living under the ISIS reign - also known as Daesh - reported a "mysterious epidemic" sweeping through the region.

A human rights monitor group based in ISIS-ruled territories revealed the outbreak had infected "dozens of civilians in the countryside of Raqqa", where the terror group has set up its headquarters.

The reported death toll, which rose to "around 20 people" this week, has put the panicked terrorists on edge and prompted a desperate health shut down.

Barbaric militants have been issuing information leaflets in strongholds urging citizens to wash their hands to avoid contracting the killer virus.

The Islamists have already been forced to halve the wages of their fighters earlier this year and many living under their rule suffer from "widespread starvation and limited access to healthcare". Cont.
