 ABAAOUD “ON OUR RADAR” FOR SOME TIME

Abdelhamid Abaaoud – the alleged ringleader of the terror attacks that rocked France last week – was killed in a pre-dawn raid by French authorities this week.

The body of the suspected terrorist – believed to be in his late twenties – was found riddled with bullets inside an apartment residence in Saint-Denis.  That’s a suburb just north of Paris, where 129 people were killed during last Friday’s coordinated attacks on restaurants, a concert hall and a soccer stadium.

French police say they pumped more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition into the apartment during the raid – and used explosives that resulted in a floor collapsing.  Five special forces soldiers were wounded in the attack, and one police dog was killed.

According to French authorities, they were able to pinpoint Abaaoud after one of his relatives used a cell phone that led them to the apartment building.

This week’s raid wasn’t the first time the French have targeted Abaaoud, a rumored close associate of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (a.k.a. Ibrahim), the “caliph” or leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).  By the way, al-Baghdadi is the guy who was mocked in a cartoon by French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo just prior to a January 2015 terror attack that killed seventeen people in Paris – most of them at the headquarters of the magazine.

Last month French war planes targeted a training facility in Raqqa, Syria where Abaaoud was said to have been training ISIS fighters.  French counterterrorism officials also told CNN they believed the militant was organizing an ISIS cell in Belgium.

I would think moderate Muslims would be upset, he was holding and using the Koran to justify his barbarism. Then again, their actions at the soccer match in Turkey proved otherwise.

One extremist Muslim is not representative of all Muslims, so I found a group of asshole Muslims. See how fair I’m being?

Westboro Baptist Church is not reflective of us Christians as a whole though. Generalizing based on a bad apple or bunch of bad apples only works when we do it.

Nice attempt at a walkback, but you clearly said:

“I would think moderate Muslims would be upset, he was holding and using
the Koran to justify his barbarism. Then again, their actions at the
soccer match in Turkey proved otherwise.”

If the ones at the soccer stadium were truly bad apples, why did you use them to disqualify moderate Muslims who very much are distraught that their religion is being used by a bunch of assholes?

He expects them to stand on their rooftops with a megaphone shouting their disapproval 8 hours a day with the rest of the propaganda-fed Republicans. If they don’t go out of their way while walking down the street to pester everyone about their disapproval of ISIS then clearly they don’t mind what ISIS is doing.

I can’t even remember the last time I heard a Christian bring up WBC. If anything bringing it up makes them uncomfortable that they share the same religion. You know, I wonder, do moderate Muslims feel the same way about ISIS? Couldn’t be!

Talking to moderate Muslims makes it easier to hear them. There are plenty out there.

Here’s a tip, the ones fleeing Syria clearly don’t want anything to do with ISIS or Assad. Pretty sure most of them just want to live normal lives without worrying about getting blown up or shot.

Doesn’t matter. Why is it the west’s problem to always sort out a back asswards part of the world like the Middle East. My compassion is over. It’s a modern age, information is out there on how to govern yourselves and look after your own people.
Do you notice that many affluent middle eastern countries have closed their borders to the plight of these people…forcing them into Europe and beyond? Where is the muslim brotherly compassion there?
They do it b/c they know these people have nothing to offer in a broad sense. Realize that each person who comes over is attached to a monetary expense. Housing costs, food costs, medical costs, etc. Many don’t speak any other languages….many don’t want to learn other languages. So they sit around all day in their new country and hone their grievances against the west for somehow doing this to them.
Sorry, but this is not our problem. All borders need to be closed and they need to be sent back to their own countries. The arab world needs to sort this out themselves.

Chicago –

GLEN ELLYN, Ill. (WLS) —
Muslims in the Chicago area are speaking out against radicalization as they try to shed light on why some are attracted to violence that they say does not represent Islam. Wednesday, a group of Chicago-area Amaddiyya Muslims gathered at the College of DuPage to lead a talk on the radicalization and stigmatization of Muslims in America and the Western World.

Shehnaz Khan, a journalist in London, tweeted, “Whoever kills an innocent person, it is as though he has killed all of mankind.” She was one of many people to share this verse from the Quran.

“I don’t see ISIS as Muslim. I see terrorists when I look at ISIS,” Philistine Ayad, a Muslim feminist, told CNN. “To me, terror knows no religion. They are picking and choosing aspects of the religion and twisting and distorting them in order to justify their actions that are unjustifiable.”

Several Muslim religious and political leaders officially denounced the attacks before the group took responsibility, including Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, who called them a “crime against humanity,” and Qatari foreign minister Khaled al-Attiyah, who said they were “heinous.” Rouhani had been scheduled to visit France as part of a wider European trip this weekend but has postponed his plans.

Assholes shouting something horrible after a tragic event makes the news? Thanks, captain obvious!

Muslims voice their disgust, they do public events to try and show they believe something entirely different than the extremists. That’s what seldom makes the news. That’s their fault?

It sounds like you are acknowledging that if you’d actually spend a few seconds on Google that you would find plenty of examples of Muslims speaking out against the extremists, but it isn’t good enough for you. Like what was said below, you types expect them to spend their entire day telling everyone within earshot of how much ISIS pisses them off.

Even Sikhs deal with a lot of shit thanks to ISIS and Al Queda. Some have even been killed by bigots too dumb to tell the difference. When’s the last time you heard a Sikh speak out against those groups? Want to lump them in too?

Well I guess renting a stadium would work. I have a better idea, how about 45,000 moderate Muslim’s start killing ISIS – oh wait – that’s already happening. You should check out the gains by the Coalition and it’s on-the-ground partners in the past three weeks. By my count 7 major towns in Syria and Iraq have been liberated (I’m including Ramadi which apparently this AM was 2/3s complete). Mosul is now isolated from Raqqa, Kurds are within 30 miles or Raqqa, Free Syrian Army just liberated a town south of Raqqa. ISIS is being isolated to just the Euphrate’s valley. If the remaining Sunni members who are not radical but collecting checks turn on ISIS, this could be really interesting. Now wondering if this terrorism spurt is more showing their weakness than their strength.

It’s not enough. Any fighting in that theater is done mainly around the base laws of survival as ISIS appears to be non-discriminate in who they pursue.

What he’s talking about is the feted and westernized muslims living in Europe and the Americas who should be holding mass protests at repudiating these subhumans. Don’t forget, some 20 to 30 thousand westerners have migrated to Syria with the specific intent of joining IS.

Hey rocko!!! Bye Bye Obamacare!

http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/biggest-us-health-insurer-may-quit-obamacare/ar-BBncjie?li=AAa0dzB

he U.S.’s biggest health insurer is considering pulling out of Obamacare, a month after saying it would expand its presence in the program.

UnitedHealth Group Inc. is scaling back marketing efforts for plans it’s selling this year under the Affordable Care Act, and may quit the market entirely in 2017, because the business has proven to be more costly than expected. It’s an abrupt shift from October, when the health insurer said it was planning to sell coverage in 11 new markets next year, bringing its total to 34. The company also cut its 2015 earnings forecast.

A pull-back would deal a significant blow to President Barack Obama’s signature domestic policy achievement.

Except when Westboro decides to protest the funeral of an American war hero, they are met with 3 to 4 times as many counter protesters.
Muslims don’t turn out in those numbers to flood the streets and protest when these attacks happen. Which is ironic considering these terrorists kill more fellow muslims pound for pound than anyone else. You would think the islamic community across the world would be united and vociferous in their condemnation. You would think they would inform on any member of the faith who is plotting terrorism…but alas…the sound of crickets.

I get the impression more and more that so called moderate Muslims both home and abroad generally take a passive stance.

It’s b/c they sympathize with the radicals around the themes of Israel and the West but are too lazy or scared to actually put those thoughts into action. So while it is true that most muslims around the world aren’t terrorists in the strictest sense..it doesn’t mean they’re not terrorists at heart. In fact, there is a case to be made that prominent muslim leaders who routinely curse radical muslims after attacks like this are facing some backlash across the islamic community as their version of an uncle tom.

Muslim Obama’s approach of delayed and diluted action — always doing the minimum demanded by domestic politics and until the Pentagon has had enough — has allowed ISIS not only to survive but to expand its appeal, its numbers, its territory and its global impact. Starbucks took 30 years to reach five continents. ISIS did it in two.

Good riddance to bad rubbish is the least of phrases I can use.

Personally, I would have preferred photos of his corpse (or what’s left of it) to be printed on flyers and dropped over Syria but that’s what animals do. Like those of the IS.

The better, and I would suggest more painful option for IS, is to enhance and improve the West’s ability to hit them where it hurts. No good winning psychological points over a dead terrorist when they’ll send another 100. We need to remove their ability to fund themselves, remove online capability, remove food supply, remove munitions, remove power supply, petrol supply, consistently battle them over territorial gains, take out top leaders, etc.

These aren’t the sexy wins that inspire us to feel like we’re getting somewhere but applied over time and unrelenting in their application really hurt IS more than anything. Making life difficult (if not impossible) for them to operate and expand will pay dividends.
