Europe and Takfiri Islamist Killers: Iraq, Somalia and Syria

The government of Syria continues to face a civilizational war because Takfiri indoctrination, Gulf petrodollar terrorism, international jihadists, sectarian forces and the intrigues of major NATO powers are threatening this secular state. At the same time, Europe is exporting Takfiri barbarity to Iraq, Somalia and Syria because of Gulf petrodollars within Europe; the intrigues of security services; allowing Takfiri clerics to indoctrinate; and enabling natural breeding grounds to flourish throughout Europe. Therefore, the rich mosaic of Syria faces a civilizational war on several fronts and the same applies to Iraq and Somalia.

Indeed, the severity of the European Takfiri reality in the affairs of several nations is not fully known because the numbers are much higher than was commonly thought. This reality means that it is difficult to understand the real numbers involved in butchering and slaughtering in Iraq, Somalia and Syria. Despite this, it is clear that the numbers are vast and that NATO Turkey is an open border for international jihadists when it comes to the destabilization of Syria.

Al-Monitor reported last year that: “…a French jihadist interviewed by the weekly Paris-Match in March, claims that there are “at least” 500 recruits from France alone fighting with ISIS, which is merely one of the jihadist factions in Syria. It has lately been involved in an internecine conflict with other such factions, including Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s official affiliate in Syria. In a recent study, Thomas Hegghammer, director of terrorism research at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, used published estimates from European intelligence services to put the total number of European recruits fighting in Syria at fewer than 2,000. The study estimated the total number of French recruits fighting with all the factions, not only ISIS, at between 200 and 400.”

This reality means that Syria is facing a nightmare emanating from Europe because the number is extremely high. On top of this, the murky role of security services like the BND, DGSE and MI6 remains unknown. However, with France and the United Kingdom being involved in the destabilization of Syria then clearly many ties will remain open. After all, the brutal murder of Lee Rigby in London highlighted the fact that British security services had hoped to recruit one of the two barbaric individuals involved in butchering Lee Rigby.

In a past article by Modern Tokyo Times the same murky area was highlighted because the “Anas al-Liby case is further evidence of the mass naivety within the British secret services – for example MI5 and MI6. It is known that one of the individuals involved in the barbaric murder of Lee Rigby was targeted to become a recruit of the British secret service. Likewise, al-Liby was given political asylum despite his al-Qaeda links being fully known and MI6 also tried to recruit him.”

In the same article highlighted earlier by Al-Monitor it is stated: “Referring to the French jihadists, Abu Shaheed told Paris-Match, “There are lots and lots of them. The place is covered with French [recruits]. I couldn’t even count them all.” In addition to individual French fighters in other ISIS units, Abu Shaheed said that there are five or six purely French-speaking brigades or katiba, consisting of French and Belgian fighters. He went on to explain that the formation of French-speaking brigades is a necessity, since the French and Belgian recruits ordinarily do not speak enough Arabic to be integrated into Arabic-speaking units. The recruits are known essentially to consist of second- and third-generation descendants of Arab immigrants and Muslim converts.”

Iraq, Syria and Somalia are particularly being hard hit by this reality therefore something is going wrong within so-called liberal Europe. After all, individuals are flocking to these nations in order to slaughter fellow Muslims, kill Christians and persecute various different religious minorities.

For example, in Somalia the al-Shabaab (al-Shabab) kill all apostates to Christianity in brutal ways. Likewise, Takfiri fanatics are attacking indigenous Sufi Islam in Somalia because many Sufi shrines have been destroyed. Apparently, it is this brutality that is attracting Muslim jihadists following the Takfiri thought pattern in the United Kingdom because they are intent on slaughtering “the other”

The same mode of thinking is leading to Takfiri jihadists killing Alawites, the Shia and indigenous Sunni Muslims that are deemed apostates unless they follow their Salafi and Takfiri mantra. Of course, the same is being replicated in Iraq and in other parts of the world like Pakistan.

France 24 reports: “One of the more disturbing aspects of the barbaric footage is the cavalier way the European jihadists move through the Syrian countryside, whooping, laughing and shouting in French as they drag the bodies of the slain civilians and fighters accused of supporting Assad.”

The factors behind the growth of European jihadists are multiple and not so clear because on-the-one-hand you have Gulf petrodollars and the incitement of hatred by Takfiri fanatics; on-the-other-hand you have government foreign policy objectives that are boosting terrorist forces. Of course, other important areas related to destabilization policies, media manipulation, social media and enabling international links to flourish equally apply – and other important factors. Therefore, vile aspects of Takfiri Islam and Salafi militancy are spreading their barbaric message far and wide. This is based on failures from within, allowing Takfiri Islamists to have a free reign in spreading sectarianism, focusing on Gulf petrodollars – and because of covert related issues based on the foreign policy objectives of major Gulf and Western powers.

This reality means that Iraq, Somalia and Syria face not only the results of outside meddling but they also face a civilizational war, whereby European jihadists want to turn-the-clock back to “year zero.”
