    Scholars catch up to Spencer, realize ancient Qur’an challenges Islam’s origins

    August 31, 2015 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer 119 Comments
    “Fragments of the world’s oldest Koran, found in Birmingham last month, may predate the Prophet Muhammad and could even rewrite the early history of Islam, according to scholars.” That’s the lead paragraph of the story below, which is dated today. The implication is that the text existed before it became part of the Qur’an — which would completely demolish the Islamic claim that the Qur’an was delivered in perfect form through Gabriel from Allah to Muhammad, and wasn’t based on any source texts at all.
    On July 22, I wrote this about the same Qur’an manuscript: “So if this is a fragment of the Qur’an as it now stands…and yet it could date from as far back as 568, two years before Muhammad is supposed to have been born, it might not be a fragment of the Qur’an at all. It could instead be a portion of some source that later became part of the Qur’an…”
    On July 27, I wrote that “this could be a portion of a pre-Islamic source for the Qur’an.”
    Glad to see the academics catching up.

    “The ‘Birmingham Koran’ fragment that could shake Islam after carbon-dating suggests it is OLDER than the Prophet Muhammad,” by Jennifer Newton, MailOnline, August 31, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):
    Fragments of the world’s oldest Koran, found in Birmingham last month, may predate the Prophet Muhammad and could even rewrite the early history of Islam, according to scholars.
    The pages, thought to be between 1,448 and 1,371 years old, were discovered bound within the pages of another Koran from the late seventh century at the library of the University of Birmingham.
    Written in ink in an early form of Arabic script on parchment made from animal skin, the pages contain parts of the Suras, or chapters, 18 to 20, which may have been written by someone who actually knew the Prophet Muhammad – founder of the Islamic faith.
    The pages were carbon-dated by experts at the University of Oxford, a process which showed the Islamic holy book manuscript could be the oldest Koran in the world.
    The discovery was said to be particularly significant as in the early years of Islam, the Koran was thought to have been memorised and passed down orally rather written.
    But now several historians have said that the parchment might even predate Muhammad.
    It is believed that the Birmingham Koran was produced between 568AD and 645AD, while the dates usually given for Muhammad are between 570AD and 632AD.
    Historian Tom Holland, told the Times: ‘It destabilises, to put it mildly, the idea that we can know anything with certainty about how the Koran emerged – and that in turn has implications for the history of Muhammad and the Companions.’
    Keith Small, from the University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library, added: ‘This gives more ground to what have been peripheral views of the Koran’s genesis, like that Muhammad and his early followers used a text that was already in existence and shaped it to fit their own political and theological agenda, rather than Muhammad receiving a revelation from heaven….
    Or alternatively, some other individual or group used texts that were already in existence and shaped them to fit their own political and theological agenda, as I show in Did Muhammad Exist.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
    “As a general rule, the earlier you recognize someone is trying to kill you, the better off you’ll be.”

    Spanish Counter-Terror Police Arrest 18 Year Old Woman For Recruiting Women To Join ISIS In Syria…


    Recruiting fresh breeding stock.
    Via The Daily Mail:
    The 18-year-old Moroccan, clad in the full-length Islamic robe and veil, was led down the crowded road in Gandia, near Valencia, after being detained by counter-terror police.
    Dozens of locals watched as armed officers stood guard outside the young woman’s door, while other policemen wore balaclavas as they carried away boxes of evidence from inside.
    Police arrested her on suspicion of using the internet to recruit other women to join ISIS.
    At the time of her arrest, the woman ‘was making the last preparations for her journey’ to Syria, a police statement said.
    She was the latest in a series of suspected ISIS sympathisers detained in Spain in the last year, with another woman arrested on the island of Lanzarote for allegedly recruiting women and girls in July.
    More than 100 people from Spain are thought to have joined jihadist fighters in Iraq and Syria, with the authorities fearing that some could return to Europe to launch attacks.
    In March 2004, Al-Qaeda inspired bombers blew up four packed commuter trains in Madrid, killing 191 people.
    More than 20 people, including a number of Moroccans, were convicted of that attack.
    Police said the woman arrested today was Moroccan but had lived in Spain for years.
    Officers arrested her ‘for suspected links with jihadist terrorist activities,’ a statement from the Guardia Civil said.
    The statement continued: ‘She spread jihadist ideology on the Internet, justifying terrorist acts and spreading videos that glorified executions of people.
    ‘She had focussed her online activity on recruiting women to go and swell the ranks of Daesh (ISIS).

    Islamic State Reveals It Has Smuggled Thousands Of Extremists Into Europe…


    Committing Hijrah, or jihad by emigration.
    Via Express:
    An operative working for Islamic State has revealed the terror group has successfully smuggled thousands of covert Jihadists into Europe.
    The Syrian operative claimed more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen had been smuggled into western nations – hidden amongst innocent refugees.
    The ISIS smuggler, who is in his 30s with a trimmed jet-black beard, revealed the ongoing clandestine operation is a complete success.
    “Just wait,” he smiled.
    The Islamic State operative spoke exclusively to BuzzFeed on the condition of anonymity and is believed to be the first to confirm plans to infiltrate western countries.
    Islamic State, also referred to as IS and ISIS, is believed to be actively smuggling deadly gunmen across the sparsely-guarded 565-mile Turkish border and on to richer European nations, he revealed.
    There are now more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen “ready” across the European Union, he claimed.
    The operative said the undercover infiltration was the beginning of a larger plot to carry out revenge attacks in the West in retaliation for the US-led coalition airstrikes.
    “If someone attacks me,” he said “then for sure I will attack them back.”
    Islamic State extremists are taking advantage of developed nation’s generosity towards refugees to infiltrate Europe, he said.
    The lethal ISIS gunmen use local smugglers to blend in and travel amongst a huge tide of illegal migrants flooding Europe.
    More than 1.5million refugees have fled into Turkey alone – desperate to escape the bloodshed in Syria.
    From Turkish port cities like Izmir and Mersin, thousands of refugees venture across the Mediterranean aiming for Italy, he said.
    Then the majority make for more welcoming nations like Sweden and Germany, turning themselves over to authorities and appealing for asylum.
    “They are going like refugees,” he said.

    ISIS fighters have once again shown their unending thirst for cruelty after forcing two doomed men watch a fuse from a stick of dynamite burn down as they waited to be killed in the ensuing explosion.
    Nashaat Mahmood, 22, and Haidar Assad, 21, were both executed in an explosion meant to demolish a damaged building.
    The young men - whose crime is not known - were tied up and placed in amongst the rubble, alongside the burning stick of dynamite so when the building finally blows up, they are killed.

    Final moment: The video shows the explosion, which swallows the men and the building

















    The video is once again trussed up to look like something for a Hollywood spy thriller, or video game, concealing some of their evil intent behind a glossy exterior.
    It begins with what looks like a pretend drone shot, taken from the sky and apparently zoning in on the two men.
    The men's details are then flashed up across the screen, like they are characters being introduced in a computer game.
    The reality is far worse: the two men have angered to despotic regime, and are to pay for it with their lives.
    According to the video, they were Shiite spies. ISIS are Sunni.






    Murdered: Assad, left, and Mahmood, right, were allegedly Shiite spies - although this may not be true

    It then cuts to a partially demolished building, believed to be somewhere in Anbar province.
    The men are then led to the ruins, which seems to have been damaged in an airstrike, and made to sit in the middle to await their deaths.
    The final moments of the video show the men's bodies, proving they are dead.
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    Official: Iraqi Woman Kills Islamic State Commander Who Used Her as His Sex Slave

    Sep. 8, 2015 3:57pm





    An Iraqi woman who was forced to be a sex slave killed the Islamic State commander who was her captor, a Kurdish official told an Iraqi news outlet.
    Kurdistan Democratic Party spokesman Saeed Mamouzini on Monday told the Iraqi Alsumaria News that the commander, identified only by his nom de guerre “Abu Anas,” was killed on Saturday near Mosul in Iraq.
    A female sex slave reportedly killed her captor in revenge for the abuse she endured, a Kurdish official said. (Image source: Islamic State group video)

    He did not specify how the militant was killed.
    The official said that the woman took revenge on her captor after he previously forced her to marry his fellow fighters, suggesting she was sexually abused by a string of jihadists.
    TheBlaze is unable to independently authenticate the account, which was widely reported in Iranian media. Iran is vehemently opposed to the Sunni jihadist group, which aims to create a global caliphate under its command.
    The Islamic State group has been open about its abduction of minority group women to use as sex slaves, even issuing a guide last year on how to treat them, citing Shariah law.
    A United Nations official in August confirmed the authenticity of a document listing the prices for Yazidi and Christian sex slaves, ranging from $40 to $170, based on their age

    Two Nepalese women have accused their Saudi Arabian diplomat employer of subjecting them to months of repeated rapes and assaults while working for him in India.
    The two women, aged 30 and 50, claim that they have been held hostage in the diplomat's home near the capital 'for several months', New Delhi police said today.
    They also claim that they had been 'offered regularly' to the Saudi diplomat's friends, sometimes seven or eight at a time, and that he threatened to kill them if they went to authorities.

    Hostages: The two Nepalese women claim that they were 'raped, assaulted, starved and held hostage over several months', while they were working as maids for the Saudi Arabian diplomat in New Delhi

    The women claim that they were 'raped, assaulted, starved and held hostage over several months' by the Saudi Arabian embassy employee as well as his friends.
    'There were days when seven to eight men - all from Saudi Arabia - would assault us,' the oldest of the pair told The Indian Express.

    If we resisted, the diplomat and his family would threaten to kill us and dispose of our bodies in the sewer.
    According to the police complaint, the women had first been taken to Saudi Arabia for two weeks before arriving in the house in New Delhi.
    They state that the abuse started when they came back to India: 'After we returned in May, he asked us to massage him
    'He then raped us and forced us to have unnatural sex and oral sex. After that he offered us to his friends regularly.'

    Commissioner of Police Navdeep Singh Virk said he had written to India's foreign ministry and the Saudi Arabian embassy asking if the man has diplomatic immunity.
    A spokesman for India's foreign ministry said it had requested a report from the police and would decide on what action to take after reviewing the information.
    Indian police are now investigating the accusations, which has ignited debate regarding immunity granted to diplomats around the world.
    Diplomats cannot be immediately arrested, because under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations they enjoy immunity from arrest, criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits in the countries where they are posted.
    Governments may press a foreign government to waive immunity in cases where serious crimes are committed.
    'If they refuse then the only option left would be to kick the person out,' said G. Parthasarathy, a veteran Indian diplomat.
    Police said the women were rescued on Monday after police were tipped off by a non-governmental organisation and officials at the Nepali embassy.
    Thousands of women from Nepal, which is one of the poorest countries in the world, go to India and the Middle East to work as maids.
    A senior official at the Nepali embassy said his government was waiting for the Indian police to complete their investigation before launching a diplomatic complaint.
    New Delhi police said a medical exam confirmed the women had been sexually assaulted.
    The Saudi Arabian embassy in New Delhi have not responded to calls for comment.

    ISIS Slams America For Being A “Racist” Country…


    DNC nods in approval.
    Via Daily Beast:
    ISIS used the latest issue of its English-language magazine to accuse the U.S. and the rest of the Western world of racism while claiming it is the racially tolerant force in the world. Racism is the “tool” of the devil and “intended to divide and weaken the children of Adam.”
    Dabiq said, in part, “the only acceptable line of division is that which separates between a Muslim and a kāfir [nonbeliever], whereas any other course of division would only be a source of weakness.”
    ISIS clarified it would kill all non-believers without prejudice. “The fate of a kāfir waging war against the Muslims is one and the same across the entire racial spectrum – slaughter.”
    They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.

    Kenya: Muslims arrested with ‘mall IED’ in Nairobi

    September 11, 2015 11:06 am By Robert Spencer Leave a Comment
    They were apparently hoping to replicate the jihad massacre at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall in 2013, in which jihadists murdered 67 people after quizzing their captives and setting free those who could answer questions about Islam.

    “Kenyan men arrested with ‘mall IED’ in Nairobi,” BBC, September 8, 2015 (thanks to TheReligionofPeace.com):
    Three men have been arrested at a shopping centre in Kenya’s capital with a suspected explosive device, which has since been detonated in a controlled explosion, police say.
    The Garden City Mall, one of the biggest shopping centres in the city, has also been evacuated.
    One of the men refused to be searched by security guards and was overpowered in a scuffle, a witness said.
    In 2013, al-Shabab gunmen killed 67 shoppers at the city’s Westgate mall.
    Police spokesman George Kinoti told the BBC that the three men in custody were all Kenyans and the explosives were discovered in one of their bags.
    “The situation is under [the] absolute control of our security agencies and the entire country is under multi-agency surveillance,” he said.
    The BBC’s Alastair Leithead in Nairobi says it is believed to have been a small explosive device with a battery and a mobile phone attached, which could have been used as a trigger.
    A statement from Garden City Mall quoted the governor of Nairobi Evans Kidero as saying it would reopen on Wednesday morning.
    Mr Kidero also thanked the local police and mall employees for their “swift handling and containment of the situation.”
    Following the Westgate siege, security was stepped up at Nairobi’s shopping complexes.
    Al-Shabab has since launched a number of high-profile attacks, including one in April on a university in the north-eastern town of Garissa in which close to 150 people die
