This just came in via Wall Street Journal:
BAGHDAD—The Sunni Islamist militant group whose three-week blitz through northern Iraq has nearly upended the country’s fragile unity announced itself as a new Islamist “caliphate” on Sunday, unilaterally declaring statehood and demanding allegiance from other Islamist groups.
The announcement, recited in Arabic on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan by spokesman Abu Mohammed Al Adnani into an audio file, effectively renames the group the Islamic State, canceling its previous title of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS.
“We have had all the requirements of the Islamic state like fundraising, almsgiving, penalties, and prayers and still have only one thing which is the caliphate,” said Mr. Adnani in the recording. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states, and organizations, becomes null by the expansion of the caliph’s authority and arrival of its troops to their areas.”
The spokesman also declares the group’s leader, Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, as the new Islamic State’s caliph. The recorded message was recorded on an Mp3 audio file and distributed through the group’s expansive social media presence.
The announcement revives the idea of an Islamic caliphate that hasn’t existed as a recognized political entity since it was abolished 90 years ago by Kemal Atatürk, the first president of modern Turkey.
There have been various caliphates throughout Islam’s 1,400-year history. The last one, which was governed by the Istanbul-based Ottoman Empire, extended across vast lands throughout North Africa, the Persian Gulf, Eastern Europe, modern Greece and Iraq.
A few days ago we have stated that soon they will demand allegiance (Bay’at) to this arising power.
In every major Arabic media from BBC Arabic, Al-Arabia, Al-Hayat to Al-Quds, the word “Ba’yat” (allegiance to the Caliphate) is on the headline (here, here, here, here, here)
This will stun Muslim fundamentalists globally to go in full-throttle that a Caliphate is no longer in sight, it’s become a reality.
Now we can even see The Wall Street Journal, a reputable secular source use this terminology, the same terminology used in the Bible regarding the threat of Antichrist. Christians need to read their bibles about “giving allegiance to the beast” or choosing death which will mostly be carried out by beheading in Iraq and Syria. The doubting Thomas must wait and see either the prophets were perfect guessers, or indeed, there is a God.
Now the ISIS will begin to force everyone to give allegiance to Al-Baghdadi.
We doubt that Al-Baghdadi will be the ultimate Caliph, but with the Caliphate established now in Iraq, what is expected is more carnage. Shoebat.com was able to obtain leaked photos of multiple crucifixions by the ISIS:
(note: the pic in the original did not show up, so this is a substitution)
Just look at the photo above. Expect studded crosses as far as your eyes can see. The Muslim ISIS who hates the cross loves to use it. During the Arab Spring, we stated that the Arab Spring will evolve into an Islamic winter. We said it on Fox News and we were mocked. But we were right.
It is necessary now to learn more Islamic terminology. Begin to learn “Hiraba” and what that is all about.
Hiraba is Islamic law regarding punishments and now you will begin to see it applied in full force in all the areas that the Islamists control. We said it two years prior to the success of ISIS and now you are beginning to see it in full force. “Hiraba” comes straight from the damned Quran:
“The punishment of anyone who fights against Allah and His apostle and do mischief in the land is to be killed or crucified or to have their hands and feet from opposite ends or be banished from the land.” (Quran: The table spread)
It includes 4 styles of punishments; public execution (Qatl), crucifixion (Salb) and as crazy as it sounds amputating one hand and one foot from opposite sides (Yuqata’ Aydihim wa-Arjulihim) or exile (Nafy).
The intellectuals will finally realize that the entire Arab world will be taken over by totalitarian Salafists and Jihadists that will not offer equality between all human beings.
So what now will become of the Christian Arabs? They are not Sunni. There are millions of them in the Fertile Crescent, in Iraq and in Syria.
Expect countless crucifixions.
God help us all.
The radical Muslims are useful to form a different order but may usher in a different anti-Christ. I don't know and my conjectures are based on my intellect, no special pipeline to anywhere.
I don't know what Putin will do about Iraq. The planes have been delivered dismantled, will take 2 or 3 days to assemble, don't know after that.
Our government isn't going to like it but people are clamoring they don't want to get involved in Iraq again, Bush, Bush, Bush. We had a window where we could have made air strikes and wiped a lot of them out.
Some of this could be an end run around formerly massive objectors to send aid to rebels in Syria. See, they are more moderate. They will fight these radical Islamists. Remember 90% of Americans were against any aid to any rebel troops in Syria. I'm not hearing anything like that now.
Something will probably get screwed up, a big distraction, multiple distractions; Americans have short attention spans (not all). Most of the people I know, which include many young, are totally clueless about what has been going on and what it could mean for their and their childrens' future.
According to the report below, ISIS in Syria demands one half ounce of pure gold from every Christian household for “protection” and they must except limitation on the practice of their faith (no church bells or otherwise public displays).

Pope says communists are closet Christians

(We’re screwed, biblical proportions.)
I expect this here if a Democrip gets elected again
Who are you talking about? Putin? European Globalist Bildebergers? The US?
I was wondering how the so-called secular Arab states like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait will come down on this. Somehow I doubt the Caliphate will let the sheiks remain in power. We know they used the US as a tool to smackdown Saddam...
>Wherever ISIS is it should be targeted and blown off the map.<
.
Wait, you can’t do that.
We should be able to separate the peaceful ISIS disciples from the militants before we bomb.
After all, not every ISIS member is a mass murderer just as not every Muslim was in the cockpits of the planes that flew into the WTC.
Stay thirsty my friends.
Once again Christian will have to face death and other horrors. This is not the first time nor will it be last. Maaybe Putin will need to step in to save Christians. No one else will. Obama would lift a finger if Christians were being killed in the USA. To him they are the enemy and should be punished.
Vlad had it right when he impaled 20,000 mooselimbs to scare away an invading army.
Time for a new Crusade. Time to nuke about ten mooselimb capitals.
Where is General Turdgeson when you need him?
Actually, this is a brilliant strategy. Of course, I hope they fail, just like Obama.
“Once again Christian will have to face death and other horrors.”
Nothing surprising about that. It’s part of being a follower of Jesus Christ.
“Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” —1 Peter 4:12-14
