NEFA has a translation of a statement by Al Shabaab mouthpiece/megatool Abu Mansoor al Amriki (Abu Mansoor the American). Mansoor, an American fighting with the Somali Islamist militia, is probably best known from his appearances in Al Shabaab recruiting videos.
While his newest statement includes a lot of the traditional jihadists platitudes... it does fairly articulately encapsulate an important attribute of jihadist thought that Western audiences are sometimes loathe to confront. The fundamental incompatibility of the jihadist worldview and and many values we hold dear. (Human rights, minority rights, gender equality, etc)
"Human rights, women’s rights, minority rights, the right to choose your religion and your lifestyle, the right to a good job, the freedom of speech, the freedom to vote, justice, equality, and so forth. All of these words mean the western-form of democracy that cannot be reconciled with Islam.
Human rights simply mean that the Hudud should not be established. Stoning and cutting of the hand are all against human rights. Women’s rights mean that women do not have to wear hijab if they choose not to, and the right to tear down the family structure. It means denying the verses about inheritance and bearing witness. Minority rights mean treating those who are at war with God in the same manner as Muslims. Freedom of religion means freedom to become an apostate without having the Islamic ruling being applied. It also means protecting and encouraging missionaries and the like who will try their best to misguide our families. Freedom of lifestyle means freedom to be a homosexual. Freedom of speech means the freedom to abuse our beloved Prophets, peace be upon them, and even our God. Freedom to vote means that the uneducated and the educated must all be given an equal say. And it means that the Law of God is open for change and debate. Justice means only that which is in line with the American Constitution." --Abu Mansoor al Amriki (NEFA)
This is why these clowns will lose. Sadly, it will take a while.
