Islamic State leader urges attacks in Saudi Arabia - speech

Yahoo / Reuters ^ | 11-13-2014

Reuters could not independently confirm the authenticity of the speech - an audio recording carried on Islamic State-run social media. The voice sounded similar to a previous speech delivered by Baghdadi in July in a mosque in the Iraqi city of Mosul, the last time he spoke in public.

Wasn't al-Baghdadi wounded or something as reported only a few days ago in the media? "Reuters couldn't independently confirm the authenticity..." -- sounds like what we went through for a long time, ie authentic or not, with OBL. *Sigh*

ISIS is one of many (and most successful) spinoffs of the international jihad; it was bankrolled by Qatar either directly or (mostly) indirectly. This call for jihad against Saudi Arabia isn’t new.

Iran’s prison bitch, Assad, has done very little against ISIS, instead concentrating on other groups fighting against his dictatorship. Those groups have been fighting ISIS. Some of them have allied with ISIS.

Iran’s other prison bitch, Hamas, has been on a killing spree in Egypt’s Sinai; has pushed them into another intifada centering on the muzzie-occupied Rock in Jerusalem, in order to waylay the confluence of interest between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Israel.

Iran’s proxy terrorists have taken over Yemen; for years now Iranian missiles have been in Eritrea, shadowing one of the busiest sea lanes in the world.

You can at least be reasonable with the Hashemites, and that says a lot.

Just checking you know the Heshemites are part of the Arab Quarish tribe; Mohammad ('the islamic prophet') was a descendant of the same Heshemite tribe (I think his great grand-father), of one clan belonging to that tribe, and so was Mo's daughter Fatimah.

Correct. Many Hashemites trace their lineage through Muhammad’s Uncles such as Abbas who created the Abbasid Caliphate.

Which is why having people like the King of Jordan being friendly to the West helpful, since is a descendant of the Prophet, unlike the backstabbing Saudis.

Am not sure Umayyads weren't of the same Heshemite tribe as the Abbasid. Only difference was that they claimed/claim to belong to different clans within the same Heshemite tribe.

Mind you, back then there was no distinction between what we over the last century call Jordan and Saudi Arabia; it was one 'country' ie Arabistan, with factions or clans of the same tribe fighting one another. Although, I do have much respect for present-day King of Jordan, and he isn't comparable to the Saudis.

But not for the Umayyads or the Abbasids, historically speaking. The Abbasid were just more wily in their approach to Islamization of non-Islamic lands such as Iran. They tried their utmost to combine local traditions & culture with their bedouin Arab Islam. Later, put an Islamic spin on non-Islamic traditions (in a way similar to current Iranian regime) to have them accepted by the newly converted to Islam locals and other non-muslims.

Anyhow, I think one of the 'four countries', not mentioned in the originally posted article, which ISIS says it intends to go after is Jordan.

P.S. - a former president of the Mullah regime in Iran, who is a multi-billionaire, and known to be a wheeler and dealer too, over & above the political scene, has a lastname of “Heshemi-Rafsanjani” ;)
