ISIS, ISIL, THE LEVANT .... WHAT'S IN THE NAME? : Well ... Israel, & "The Caliphate" |
|
Note: The name "ISIS" uses the last letter "s" to represent the name "El Sham" which is just another name for "The Levant".. El Sham can mean; when you are facing East, its the "land on the left". It often refers to the City of Damascus as well. |
|
|
|
The Levant includes Israel & Palestine. The implication is that Israel would become part of a Caliphate if ISIL had its way. |
|
|
- The Name "ISIS" stresses Syria while the name "ISIL" stresses the Levant which is stresses Syria and Israel.
- So "ISIS" takes over only Syria ... "ISIL" takes over both Syria and Israel ... all for the Caliphate
|
|
Under the previous caliphate.... the Umayyads; the city of Damascus was the capital of the Islamic Caliphate and Syria was its metropolis (main center of culture & activity). But; under the Abbasids, Baghdad became the new capital. |
|
|
|
Only one month after taking office, President Obama sent SEIU envoys to Africa. |
|
|
- Then, in 750 AD, under the Abbasid Caliphate, Syria became much less important. The Abbasids moved the capital to Baghdad & Samarra in Iraq.
- So Baghdad & Samarra became the most important province; and the mostly Arab Syrians were marginalized by Iranian and Turkish forces who rose to power under the Abbasid Caliphate.
- Abbasid Caliphate: Iraq was important as the center of the Abbasid Caliphate ... Syria was on the way down as Iraq rose to power.
|
- Stirring up "activism" across Africa began in 2009 ... it wasn't until 17 Dec 2010 that the activism spark "caught fire". (See Chart Below)
- In January of 2011; Tunisia led the revolts against dictators followed by most of Africa. Dictators (with the exception of Assad in Syria) were replaced with Muslim Brotherhood & Sharia law ... except for Egypt whose military responded to the Egyptian People's request to oust the Muslim Brotherhood; which has since been outlawed.
- Now ISILis trying to set up a new Islamic Caliphate. The Obama Administration armed the "Syrian Rebels" to help them try to overthrow Assad. Assad is still there; the Syrian Rebels are now called "ISIL". Apparently all those pesky dictators were getting in the way of a new Islamic Caliphate being organized.

The Rashidun Caliphate (632 - 661) |
|
|
- The Rashidun Caliphate (632 - 661) is the collective term for the first four caliphs in Islamic history and was founded after Muhammad's death in 632 AD. This map shows it at its peak.
- The Umayyad Caliphate came next. It lasted until about 750 AD...until the Abbasid Revolt (which rose out of Khorasan) .. was replaced by The Abbasid Caliphate.
- The Abbasid Caliphate was the 3rd of the Islamic caliphates to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The Abbasid dynasty descended from Muhammad's youngest uncle.
- Under The Abbasid Caliphate came the "Golden Age of Islam" (750 - 950 AD). It was in 762 AD that the Caliph Al-Mansur founded the city of Baghdad.... and made it the capital of the Abbasid Empire.
- The Crusades also took place under the Abbasid Caliphate.
|
|
Most of Spain (exception Northern Spain) was under Islamic rule at this time. |
|
|
- “The Caliphate in today’s age must be established through a number of several states that are governed by Shariah and supported by both, the rulers and the people in the form of a federation or confederation and not as it was in the past.” Says Who?
- By this, the Muslim union of scholars lead by Qaradawi is setting up the theological precedence by announcing that a future confederacy of Muslim nations must and will be established and centered in the land of the Muslim Caliphate in Turkey.

" ...a rising from the East" |
|
|
- Khorasan is the name for the latest group of al-Qaeda fighters in Syria
- Khorasan refers to land in Eastern Persia (Iran) that was part of the Islamic Caliphate
Note: The Abbasid Revolt against The Umayyad Caliphate rose from Khorasan.
- The name means "land from the east or the rising sun"
- In general ... the Caliphate means it doesn't matter its name; its all under one giant "Islamic umbrella" . If it's Muslim ... its Caliphate. If its a "Lone Wolf" ... its Caliphate ... if its "Jihad" ... its Caliphate. If its "taquiya" its Caliphate. (Taquiya means you lie to non-muslims ... telling them whatever is necessary to achieve your ends) TAQUIYA: Jihad thru stealth ...
- Note: there is also the arabic term "kitman"; which means "secrecy, or concealment" ... it refers to the act of paying lip service to authority or outsiders while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political camouflage. You say whatever works to avoid interference with your plans (said interference being regarded as a form of persecution).
|
- JIHAD Through STEALTH: Although the word "taqiyya" does not occur in the Qur'an, the practice of concealing one's beliefs in dangerous circumstances originates in the Qur'an, which:
- ... deems blameless those who disguise their beliefs in such cases.
- The practice of taqiyya in difficult circumstances is considered legitimate by Muslims of various sects.
- Sunni and Shi'a commentators alike observe that verse 16:106 refers to the case of 'Ammar b. Yasir, who was forced to renounce his beliefs under physical duress and torture.
- Quran 3:28 enjoins Muslims not to take the company of non-Muslims over Muslims unless as a means of safeguarding themselves.
"Let not the believers take those who deny the truth for their allies in preference to the believers – since he who does this cuts himself off from God in everything – unless it be to protect yourself against them in this way…"
- Regarding 3:28, Ibn Kathir, a prominent authority writes, "meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly.
- " He quotes Muhammad's companion, Abu Ad-Darda', who said "we smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them,"
- and Al-Hasan who said "the Tuqyah is acceptable till the Day of Resurrection."

HORRIFIC SCANDAL IN BRITAIN ISLAMIC PAKISTANI CHILD SEX ABUSE RING
- The sexual abuse of about 1,400 children at the hands of Pakistani Muslim men went unreported for 16 years because staff feared they would be seen as racist. .
- Children as young as 11 were trafficked, beaten, and raped by large numbers of men between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, the council commissioned review into child protection revealed. And shockingly, more than a third of the cases were already known to agencies.
- Teachers reported seeing children as young as 11, 12 and 13 being picked up outside schools by cars and taxis, given presents and mobile phones and taken to meet large numbers of unknown men in Rotherham or other local towns and cities.

MEDDLING IN THE MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA...
- If you wanted to "re-arrange" these areas politically; first you'd have to get rid of all the Dictators. Like, Sadaam Hussein, Mohamar Kadaffi, Syria's Assad ... whoever was the boss (Egypt's Morsi was Muslim Brotherhood so he wasn't going to be replaced... being Muslim Brotherhood, he had Obama's backing).
- Then, you'd have to organize & foment unrest & promote uprisings ... and seize control of those uprisings through something like backing the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Then; after everyone was subdued ... you could (supposedly) implement a Caliphate thru the Muslim Brotherhood. Sounds simple, huh?
- UNLESS you were to have underestimated The Egyptian people and its General Al-Sisi or President Bashir Assad of Syria (who also just happened to have had Russia/Putin's backing).
|
|
Muddled Meddling? Assad is the real target. ISIL "bombing" is minor while arms & aid end up in ISIL hands to use agains ASSAD. Meanwhile, ISIL overuns Iraq |

- Meddle .... Meddle ....
U.S. trained ISIS at secret base in Jordan
- Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials.
- The officials said dozens of ISIL members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq.
- The Jordanian officials said all ISIL members who received U.S. training to fight in Syria were first vetted for any links to extremist groups like al-Qaeda. (Yeah, sure...)
- In February 2012, WND was first to report the U.S., Turkey and Jordan were running a training base for the Syrian rebels in the Jordanian town of Safawi in the country’s northern desert region. That report has since been corroborated by numerous other media accounts.
- Last March, the German weekly "Der Spiegel", reported Americans were training Syrian rebels in Jordan. Quoting what it said were training participants and organizers, Der Spiegel reported it was not clear whether the Americans worked for private firms or were with the U.S. Army, but the magazine said some organizers wore uniforms. The training in Jordan reportedly focused on use of anti-tank weaponry.
- The German magazine reported some 200 men received the training over the previous three months amid U.S. plans to train a total of 1,200 members of the Free Syrian Army in two camps in the south and the east of Jordan.
- Britain’s Guardian newspaper also reported last March that U.S. trainers were aiding Syrian rebels in Jordan along with British and French instructors.

So, How's That, Islamic/Muslim Brotherhood Caliphate "Thingie" (aka: "The Arab Spring") Goin' So Far? |
|
|
- One month after President Obama took office; the Obama administration reportedly sent Andy Stern & the SEIU all over the middle east to "help them organize".
- Tunisia was the first sign of the results of their efforts. In other words ... "Tunisia hit the streets first". Now; the various middle east dictators are being pushed out ... & being replaced by Muslim Brotherhood adherents & leaders. (Note: One holdout continues to be President Assad of Syria. (Assad is being backed up by the Russians; and continues to say: Hell No, He Won't Go).
Thus; a new Islamic Caliphate is working to establish itself. Other than Israel, the entiire middle east is Islamic with a sprinkling of Christians.
- To continue to fund these uprisings & civil unrest; Obama wants to send another $450 Million to further destabilize Egypt and Hillary wants to send another $45 Million to Syria; so the "dissident rebels" can buy more weapons.
(Like the results of the State Department's meddling in Libya? Can you say "Benghazi-Gate"?) - (Scuttlbutt has it; the Libyan attack was made with American supplied or funded weaponry).
- Further Note: (The ousted dictators apparently didn't keep "kosher sharia", and while oppressing their people; did continue to work with the secular West.... a supposed "lesser of two evils"?)
- UPDATE: Egypt has recently established new alliances with Iran & China.
- Two things always rise to the top: Cream ... and Scum. Meanwhile, destabilization of the Middle East continues as the Muslim Brotherhood makes its bid (with apparent help from the U.S.) for an Islamic Caliphate & Sharia Law throughout the Middle East.
A United Middle East Caliphate under Sharia Law would have political goals peculiar to Sharia Law ... which does appear to insist.... that the rest of the world submit to Sharia Law too!
("Everybody Wants to Rule the World"!).

Why Did President Obama Suddenly Run Back To Iraq? |
- SO WHY WAS PRESIDENT OBAMA SUDDENLY SO INTERESTED IN WHAT ISIL WAS UP TO? Well, for starters ... WHERE & WHO THEY WERE "UP TO" ATTACKING:
- Controlled by the Kurds since 1991 ... The Shekhan District of Nineveh Province in Iraq. This area is mainly populated by 2 groups of people:
- The Assyrians, a people who still use Aramaic, the language of Jesus (both spoken & written)
... AND ...
- The YAZIDIS (The Descendants of Gobekli Tepe)

Chaos in Iraq Yazidi refugees starve Obama orders Aid & Airstrikes
- BAGHDAD — Politicians appealed Wednesday for emergency aid for thousands of minority Iraqis who have been stranded with little food on a mountaintop in the country’s northwest, surrounded by al-Qaeda type rebels.
- For nearly two months, Kurdish forces had defended the area from Sunni Extremists who have run thru northern Iraq; slaughtering opponents, destroying ancient shrines and demanding that people of other religions convert or die.
|
|
- But last weekend the Kurds had setbacks in the Sinjar region, prompting hundreds of thousands of civilians to run for it. Displaced families from the minority Yazidi sect fled the violence in the Iraqi town of Sinjar, just west of Mosul, and took refuge at Dohuk province on Aug. 4th, 2014.
- An estimated 10,000 to 40,000 of them sought refuge on the craggy peaks of Mount Sinjar — largely members of the minority Yazidi sect. They fear death if they come down as the militants would put them to death for not being "Islamic enough".
- The Iraqi government conducted two airdrops of aid to the desperate refugees on Wednesday, but humanitarian workers said they did not come close to meeting the growing need. Some of the water bottles in the aid bundles cracked open.
- “Is help coming?” one of those trapped on the mountain, 23-year-old Shihab Balki, asked when contacted by cellphone — one of the few belonging to the refugees that still had battery life. He said that at least 17 children have died on the mountain because of the inhospitable conditions.
|
- So, Why Was President Obama so quick to go back to Iraq and rescue the Yazidis? .... (The Yazidi believe they were the first people to be created in the Garden of Eden; which they claim is a large area centered in what is now known as Lalish in Iraq.
- A vestige of the Yazidis’ Garden of Eden era is reputed to be Gobekli Tepe, the recently discovered archeological excavation in southern Turkey that has been dated to approximately 12,000 BCE ). Their history implies they are the Turkish descendants of the original survivors of the Flood (Noah's Flood); the last cataclysm after which makind had to start over. Their gene pool at least would have been considered valuable to many...but especially to the Turks (ruling center of the Caliphate)
- Remember ... the Muslim union of scholars lead by Qaradawi is setting up the theological precedence by announcing that a future confederacy of Muslim nations must and will be established and centered in the land of the Muslim Caliphate in Turkey.

- [1] - "THE YAZIDI BACKSTORY" - WHO'S TRAPPED ON THAT IRAQI MOUNTAIN?
- Most of those who fled Sinjar are Kurds from the minority Yazidi sect. The Yazidi believe that the Sinjar Mountains are where Noah's Ark came to rest after the Flood. The Yazidi pre-date Islam & live in area that was once known as Nineveh. They also live in communities in Armenia, Georgia (Russia) & Syria. Many have moved to Eruope and live in Germany.
- The Yazidi believe that God Created the world and gave it to the care of 7 archangels ... one of which they call "Melek Taus" or "Tawûsê Melek" (The Peacock Angel). In modern times, their beliefs are linked to Zoroasterism.
- The Yazidi believe that the origin of evil in the world exists within the heart of man himself.
- [2] - WHY DOES AL QAEDA BELIEVE THAT THE YAZIDI NEED TO BE ERADICATED?
- The definition of the Islamic tale of the Djinn "Iblis" is similar in certain respects to the Yazidi's Archangel "Tawûsê Melek". When Adam was created, "Melek" refused to bow to him. The Archangels had been told by God to bow to no one but God himself.
- Muslims believe this refusal was a disobedience that led to the fall of Melek. Satan also refused to bow to Adam. They believe Melek to be identical to Iblis/Shaitan... or Satan.
- [3] - THE YAZIDI ACCOUNT OF THE CREATION OF MAN
- Yazidi accounts of creation differ from that of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
- They believe that God first created Tawûsê Melek from his own illumination (Ronahî) and the other six archangels were created later.
- Yazidis hold that God created Tawûsê Melek on a Sunday as an angel named Azra’il and he came down to the Earth on the first Wednesday of Nisan (April); and they celebrate it as New Year's Day. (Note: Wednesday itself was the creation day of the Angel Mika’il, who is Shaikh Abu Bakr.)
- They believe the Supreme God created Melek (whose personal color is blue) and 6 other archangels to assist him in adminstering the Earth. These 7 archangels are akin to the seven days of creation mentioned in the Bible. Melek was the creator god of Earth. His first physical appearance was said to be that of a Peacock. He "flew around" in that form and then created man in Northern Iraq at what is now Lalish.
- God ordered Tawûsê Melek not to bow to other beings. Then God created the other archangels and ordered them to bring him dust (Ax) from the Earth (Erd) and build the body of Adam. Then God gave life to Adam from his own breath and instructed all archangels to bow to Adam. The archangels obeyed except for Tawûsê Melek.
- In answer to God, Tawûsê Melek replied, "How can I submit to another being! I am from your illumination while Adam is made of dust." Then God praised him and made him the leader of all angels and his deputy on the Earth.
- One of the key creation beliefs held by Yazidis is that they are the descendants of Adam through his son Shehid bin Jer rather than Eve.
- Yazidis believe that good and evil both exist in the mind and spirit of human beings... and it depends on the humans, themselves, as to which they choose. They believe that when Melek's choice not to bow to Adam was God's test of Melek ... and that Melek chose "wisely" when he did not bow ... demonstrating "Knowledge of the Sublime" which the Yazidi themselves aspire to.
- When Adam was first created by the Great 6 Angels, he was endowed with senses, but was lifeless because he lacked a soul. Melek gave him that soul and immediately told him to gaze upon the Sun as symbolic of something greater than himself. He did this to remind Adam he must pray to the Supreme God using the Sun as symbolic of the Supreme God.
- Next, Melek gave Adam the words of the prayers he was to use. Melek spoke them in 72 languages since Adam and Eve were destined to have 72 sons and 72 daughters who would populate the 72 regions or countries of the Earth.
- Melek then told Adam that he, Melek would reside in another dimension and perform the duties of "god" for Adam; but that one day, if Adam was righteous, he would be able to meet the Supreme God personally.
- [3] -YAZIDI CONNECTION TO GOBEKLI TEPE
- The Yazidi believe they were the first people to be created in the Garden of Eden; which they claim is a large area centered in what is now known as Lalish in Iraq. A vestige of the Yazidis’ Garden of Eden era is reputed to be Gobekli Tepe, the recently discovered archeological excavation in southern Turkey that has been dated to approximately 12,000 BCE
- During and after a great flood around 4000 BCE, the Yezidis dispersed to many countries in Africa and Asia, including India, Afghanistan, Armenia,and Morocco.
- Returning from their adoptive countries around 2000 BCE the Yazidis played an important role in the developmentof the Assyrian, Babylonian and Jewish civilizations of the Middle East.
- Ultimately, the Yezidis amalgamated elements of all these civilizations into Yazidism, including certain features of the Zoroastrian religion of Persia and some from Islamic Sufism.
- THE YAZIDI CALENDAR - They can trace back their religious calendar 6756 years, thus making 2008 CE the Yezidi year of 6757. In relation to some of the other major religions, the Yazidi Calendar is 4,750 years older than the Christian or Gregorian Calendar, 990 years older than the Jewish Calender, and it is 5329 years older than the Muslim Calender.
- GENOCIDE & PERSECUTION - Over the course of 700 years, nearly 23 million Yazidi people have been murdered, thus bringing their civilization to the brink of extinction.
- Although he is the eternal ruler of Earth, during the Yazidis New Year Tawsi Melek designates one of the six Great Angels to represent him as ruler for the coming year, so there is always guidance and protection coming from all the Seven Great Angels.
- The Yazidi believe there was once a "Black Book" in which their history & beliefs were writtern down. The book was very thick with a black color, and embossed with red and gold. Its content was written when Tawsi Melek first came to Earth and existed down to the time of a series of wars with the Turkish Moslems, when most of it was lost.
- To The Yazidi, Melek is is the hundred- or thousand-eyed cosmic wisdom, pictured as a bird.
|
- So the Descendants of the Turkish survivors of the Flood are Yazidis stuck on a mountain. Turkey is the future center of the Muslim Caliphate.
- BUT; the Yazidis are Christians (of a sort) ... so; factions within ISIL wants them dead... and yet; President Obama to the rescue . "Orders from Turkey"?
- There's more here that meets the eye for sure .

- 2011 - TUNISIA IGNITES THE "ARAB SPRING": Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi is now interim President of Tunis as President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has been chased out of the country on Friday (01-14-2011) in the wake of deadly protests against his 23-year rule.
- Early Friday, thousands had gathered along one of the city’s main streets in response
to a call for a general strike organized by Tunisia’s only legal trade union. “Riot police who had surrounded the protesters on both sides of Bourguiba Avenue hurled tear gas when people started climbing the walls of the Interior Ministry” ... the area resembled a “battlefield”.
- The wave of unrest was set off when a street vendor lit himself on fire on Dec. 17th, 2010; after police confiscated his stand (note: The "Marketplace" is ruled by 6th House)
- “I am pleasantly surprised”, Nejiib Chebbi, leader of the main opposition party (PDP), told FRANCE 24 on Friday. “Now we need to establish a transitional government, because Tunisians can no longer stand the president’s exclusive hold on power”.
“The revolution of the Tunisian people has left many Arab leaders panicking,” said political analyst Sami al-Buhairi. “What happened to Bin Ali was an unprecedented humiliation for an Arab leader.”
Ahmed Abu Matar, another political analyst, noted that similar protests in Algeria could also result in regime change.

- Related Additional Note: The people of Southern Sudan voted for Secession & thus, Independence. This newest "world's Independent State" is expected to make its "Declaration of Independence by July 9th, 2011.
