Isis Quotes

“The more intense this hegemonic process of forced integration and integral reality is, the more singularities will rise against it. There will be more "rogue states" - states (like Iran, Palestine) that deliberately exclude themselves from the international community without waiting to be excluded, that exclude themselves from the universal and play their own game, at their own risk and peril. There will be more "rogue events" and more refusal of society by individuals. One could say, inverting Holderlin, that "Where Good grows, there grows the Genie of Evil," ("Da, wo des Gute wiichst, wiichst auch der Genius des Bosen"). This more or less clandestine insurrection of antagonistic forces against the integrist violence of the system is less an effect of the mind, the will or even the desire of human beings than the evil genius of the world itself in refusing globalization. To find the only adversary who will face this allpowerful hegemony, we must look for those beings that are strangers to will, exiled from dialogue and representation, exiled from knowledge and history.”

“In our towns and cities they will continue to be born, in our communities they will go on to be nurtured & radicalised & from within our neighbourhoods they will terrorise & murder our citizens including women & children in their attempt to destroy the very fabric & order of our civilised society. They are influenced by our ignorance, our lack of knowledge is their power, martyrdom in the name of their God and prophet is their aspiration & so it is critical that we waste no time & learn more about them & this ideology they follow before we can even begin to eradicate this chilling & growing endemic Islamic faith based terrorism’.”

“You must make a choice,” the Goddess said. “Is that my only choice – to choose between men?” I asked. “I want what Mother had!” “Your mother chose two men,” she said with light laughter. “No! She chose independence for her country. She chose power and freedom,” I yelled. Almost as if in response, a pulsating energy moved up from the ground into my bare feet. It thrummed up my body and radiated out in a bright light, first from my toes, then from my fingertips, then the top of my head. “I choose power,” I said. “I choose freedom.”

“Since leaving Kocho, I had begged for death, I had willed Salman to kill me or asked God to let me die or refused to eat or drink in the hopes I would fade away. I had thought many times that the man who raped and beat me would kill me. But death had never come. In the checkpoint bathroom, I began to cry. For the first time since I left Kocho, I thought I actually might die. And I also knew for sure that I didn't want to.”

“If Beirut was the supermarket of the left in the 1970s, where Marxists, communists, Egyptians, Iraqis, and all the Palestinian factions debated and theorized, published and drank in bars arguing over ideas and the fought in the streets, Peshawar was the supermarket of the Islamists in the 1980s without drinking: there the discussions were about Islamic law, fatwas, the war of the believers, the unity of the Muslim nation, and the humanitarian needs of Afghan refugees.”

“In the room, the clocks tick, unseen. It has been a day of shadows and redirection, revelation and lies. Diane gets the vague sense that Kotey — with his confi dence and his silence — might think himself to be the smartest person in the room. He is intelligent yes, but it’s an intelligence that needs to wear a disguise. And besides, the smartest person in the room is the one who knows she, or he, is never the smartest at all: herein lies the contradiction. She wonders now if he has just said exactly the things she wanted to hear? She knows herself to be naïve at times: she admits this to herself. Yes, it is true, she has often been far too open to people in the past. She has been stung. Government offi cials who have deceived her. Pretenders from the FBI. Misdirection from the State Department and White House. Politicians. Negotiators. Informers. Conmen. And, perhaps now, Kotey. But she also knows that the naivety is necessary to cultivate something deeper. She wants to remain open to the world. Compassion, Lord. And mercy. And patience. There will be one more session tomorrow. Perhaps they will achieve something more than this intimate stand-off . But then again, perhaps nothing. She pulls back her chair and thanks him. It is dangerous, she knows, to thank him, her son’s murderer. But she must do it anyway. Perhaps it’s only politeness. Perhaps it’s something more. “In another life,” she says, “you and Jim might have been friends.”

“...the fanatics who slaughter the innocent and defenseless, pillaging villages, enslaving women and children, believe themselves to be holy. With every sorrow and suffering they rain on other humans, they expect to earn favor in the eyes of God, move closer to completing the bridge from this world to their exclusive paradise. How can anyone assume they will please the Creator by hurting His Creation?”

“It just so happened we lived near a hotbed of jihadis. Jay's friend Azzedine lived in that neighborhood, and just about two hundred yards from his family's place was a nondescript house located at 117 Dambruggestraat. It was the headquarters of a group called Sharia4Belgium. They were radical Salafists, the most extreme branch of Islam. The organization's members demanded that Belgium become an Islamic state, ruled by sharia law. The prime minister would be replaced by a caliph, the parliament would become a shura council, and all non-Muslims would be forced either to leave the country or to pay the jizya, a tax on all unbelievers. What an outrageous idea! Only 6 percent of the country's people were Muslim, ...”

“When they referred to their soldiers killed on the battlefield, they sometimes said that they were martyred, and sometimes said they were murdered. I wondered how differently Americans would see wars if the press and the people spoke of our troops in the firing line as having died in a homicide rather than killed in action. The rain fell harder, and bullets flew wildly into the growing darkness that hid the dead ISIS bodies nearby. Hungry, untamed dogs had gouged into the skeletons almost immediately. Some had been dead for days. Some had names and others had been left nameless. Some, maculated by the creatures howling at the moon, had no faces.”

“People floated through the tiny waiting room looking for news of their loved ones, their eyes haunting and desperate. One aging man, dressed in his most elegant suit, pulled out his phone and started showing me photographs of smiling children. All eight of them had been missing since the morning ISIS marauded through their village two summers ago. The goats on his farm had mostly died, he said. Maybe of heartache. Maybe of dehydration. Another, younger man in farmer’s trousers stared out into the sunshine, nervously yanking at strands of hair until small chunks fell upon his plaid suit coat as he slowly went mad with infirmity.”

“منذ بدء «الحملة الإيمانية» في عام 1993، تغير الحزب والمجتمع تغيرا كبيرا، وتغير معهما المخيال الشتي. جاء التحول مفاجئا للجميع: في اجتماع لقيادة الحزب، تساءل الزعيم عن طبيعة «حزب البعث»: أهو علماني أم إيماني؟ وأجاب بأنه اختار أن يكون إيمانيا. وكان هذا الانقلاب الأيديولوجي ناجما عن الهزيمة والانهيار الناتجين من حرب الكويت، وإعلان إفلاس أيديولوجي. ستنطوي الحملة الإيمانية على خليط من التربية الدينية، وتحديد أشكال السلوك واللباس، وقائمة قاسية من مدونة عقاب جديدة. في فترة قصيرة، تحجب قادة اتحاد المرأة الرسمي، ثم عضوات الحزب، وعضوات منظمات الطلاب والشباب، وانتهى الأمر بتصميم حجاب خاص لهدی صالح مهدي عماش، عضوة القيادة القطرية في حزب البعث»، وكذا للنساء في جیش القدس» الذي شكل لاحقا. صدرت قرارات متلاحقة لتعميم «الأسلمة»: تنظيم دورات دينية للحزبين، ثم لعموم الطلاب إلزام الطلاب والحزبين بحضور دروس دينية كانت تقام في الجوامع يوميا، وتحت إشراف «حزب البعث» ومسؤوليته عن الحضور والمناقشة والالتزام. واستمر هذا عشر سنوات. صدرت مدونة عقوبات جديدة: قرارات بقطع يد السارق، نفذت في أكثر من مكان؛ و قرار بإلقاء ثلاثة من «فدائيي صدام» من سطح بناية عالية في البصرة، بتهمة اللواط؛ وصدر قرار بسجن البعثي ثلاث سنوات إذا بط وهو يلعب القمار؛ وأعلن - أكثر من مرة - عن قطع رؤوس نساء بالسيف، بتهمة الدعارة (وهي أمور اتبعتها «القاعدة» و«داعش»، اعتمادا على الكتب نفسها التي درسها القادة الحزبيون في «الحملة الإيمانية»)؛ إضافة إلى كثير من الإجراءات الحزبية والقانونية، ومنها قرار بإطلاق سراح السجين المحكوم عليه في قضية جنائية إذا حفظ جزءا من القرآن أو أكثر من جزء، أو حتى القرآن كله، بحسب مدة حكمه، وبغض النظر عن جريمته، واعتبر القرار أن حفظ ذلك المقدار من الآيات هو بمنزلة توبة مقبولة.”

“Zolang de internationale coalitie weigert grondtroepen in te zetten om overal in Syrië verscholen zelfmoordterroristen uit te roeien zal dit soort aanslagen verder toenemen. Volgens SOHR heeft het kalifaat nog een arsenaal potentiële zelfmoordterroristen van minstens 1250 man, goed voor nog minstens 600 aanslagen. Toch weigert Obama, onder druk van het Amerikaanse militair industrieel complex, om op de grond special forces in te zetten die ter plaatse tabula rasa gaan maken van de Augiasstallen boordenvol zelfmoordterroristen. Hoeveel winstgevender is het voor de Amerikaanse wapenhandel niet uit de lucht te bombarderen in plaats van op de grond efficiënt te gaan vechten? Bommen brengen de wapenhandel nu eenmaal zoveel meer op dan de verkoop van doelgerichte kogels.”

“President Hollande moet stoppen met nog meer militairen de straat op te sturen. Wordt het nu geen tijd dat hij zijn eigen Franse leger plus het vreemdelingenlegioen naar ar-Raqqah stuurt om er de gekken aan hoofd van het kalifaat als onkruid uit te roeien? Als Obama te laf is om de vuiligheid op te kuisen die zijn voorganger er naliet, dan moet iemand met grotere kloten aan zijn lijf maar het voortouw nemen.”

“He tells me that the last time he was arrested, it was because his trousers were too long. IS insists that should always be above ankle length. Anyone found breaking this rule has to undergo a week-long Sharia course. As if such ridiculous charges were not bad enough, they deliberately make up some accusations, knowing them to be false. We've all witnessed this. Yet Islam does not allow conviction is based on suspicions alone. Any true Muslim who has seen what Daesh does knows what fakers they are. Not only I committing crimes against us, but they are also committing crimes against our beloved religion.”

“President Barack Obama and many liberal-minded commentators have been hesitant to call this Islamist ideology by its proper name. They seem to fear that both Muslim communities and the religiously intolerant will hear the word “Islam” and simply assume that all Muslims are being held responsible for the excesses of the jihadist few. I call this the Voldemort effect, after the villain in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books. Many well-meaning people in Ms. Rowling’s fictional world are so petrified of Voldemort’s evil that they do two things: They refuse to call Voldemort by name, instead referring to “He Who Must Not Be Named,” and they deny that he exists in the first place. Such dread only increases public hysteria, thus magnifying the appeal of Voldemort’s power. The same hysteria about Islamism is unfolding before our eyes. But no strategy intended to defeat Islamism can succeed if Islamism itself and its violent expression in jihadism are not first named, isolated and understood. From: Maajid Nawaz's article titled, 'How to Beat Islamic State', December 11th, 2015.”

“It is time for the international community to work for the creation of an independent Kurdistan as they did once for the Jews after the Holocaust. The current war against ISIS, which is perceived by many as World War Three, can be compared to World War Two. After horrible wars, great changes can be brought about for those who have suffered extreme injustice.”
