The Islamic Caliphate

A French journalist held hostage by Islamic State for 10 months, has made an impassioned plea against bombing Syria, saying it was a trap that would only benefit Isis.

Nicolas Hénin, previously held hostage by Mohammed Emwazi, implored the international community to seek a political solution. Engaging with Syrians, not bombing them, was the surest way to bring about the collapse of Isis, he said.

In a five-minute video said to have been recorded in the past few days in Paris and posted on YouTube by the Syria Campaign, Hénin said: “Strikes on Isis are a trap. The winner of this war will not be the parties that have the newest, most expensive, most sophisticated weaponry, but the party that manages to have the people on its side.”

In his message, apparently timed to coincide with Wednesday’s UK parliament debate on joining Syria airstrikes, he said: “At the moment, with the bombings, we are more likely pushing the people into the hands of Isis. What we have to do, and this is really key, we have to engage the local people.

“As soon as the people have hope in the political solution, then Islamic State will just collapse. It will have no ground any more. It will collapse.”

Hénin was released along with other French hostages in April 2014. He had been held captive alongside James Foley, Steven Sotloff, David Haines and Alan Henning, who were all murdered by Emwazi.

“Mohammed Emwazi was one of my captors. He is the one who murdered my friends,” said Hénin. “I can’t prevent myself from thinking for the six murders that he committed, face to camera, murders of westerners, how many Syrians did he kill, and who cares for them?”

He said the jihadis lived in a parallel world and a “different matrix”. They believed in a “mad prophecy” that there would be a global confrontation between a coalition of “80 armies against an army of Muslims coming from all over the world” and were “a bit out of their mind”.

Hénin said: “Why are we making so many mistakes? Why are people so much misunderstanding the region? We are just fuelling our enemies, and fuelling the misery, the disaster for the local people.”

He said the radicalisation was the result of passivity by the international community, who failed to assist Syrian democrats “as they were yelling for their freedom, and the Syrians were living in total despair”.

He said: “For every single Syrian killed since the beginning of this conflict by Islamic State, between seven and 10 have been killed by the Syrian regime. We have to understand that these two parallel disasters for the Syrian people, they depend one on the other, and one cannot fight one without fighting the other.”

Hénin said the summer refugee crisis had been a propaganda blow to Isis. Images of refugees fleeing the Muslim “dreamland” and being welcomed in the lands of “unbelievers” had given a lie to their message of western hatred towards Muslims, he said. “And that is why they probably tried to manipulate the public during the Paris attack, to make us close our borders, and maybe, even more importantly, to close our minds.”

There was an easy way to make Islamic State “lose ground at high speed” he said. “It would be for the international community to take the decision that all the Syrian regions that are held by the opposition are no-fly zones; no-fly zones for everybody. Not the coalition, not the Russians, not the regime. Nobody. So, actually to provide security to the people would be devastating for Isis and this is what the international community should focus on,” he said.

The realness.

Thun,

You once told us you don't believe in left/right politics.

You also have seemed to abandon you conspiratorial views and leaned more to the right.

What has happened?

He is a season troll.

This time next year he will be singing a different song.

Preston shopping centre 'bomb': Commentators claim incident should be treated as a terror attack

Police and the media are being accused of playing down a bomb alert in a Preston shopping centre because the man officers want to trace appears to be white.

Lancashire Constabulary said the “crude incendiary device” ignited in the men’s toilets at the Fishergate Shopping Centre on Thursday morning but did not injure anyone. The improvised package, reportedly made using an asthma inhaler, firelighter, matches and toilet paper, was found by a shopper who put out the flames and is currently being analysed.

Shopping centre evacuated after ‘suspicious’ device ‘went off' in bin

Police have released CCTV footage of a man they want to speak to, which shows him walking up an escalator at the nearby St George’s Shopping Centre around 40 minutes before the fire started, carrying a plastic bag. Detective Chief Inspector Jill Johnston, from Preston Police, said:  “We are treating this as a criminal investigation and while the motivation for this incident remains unclear at this stage, we believe this device has been left there deliberately and did have the potential to cause serious injury if it had exploded.”

People commenting on social media noted the lack of references to terrorism in official statements and accused some media outlets of not giving enough prominence to the story, claiming that the response would have been different if the man in CCTV footage did not appear to be white. Lancashire Constabulary could not be reached for a comment.

Suspect in Fishergate IED is a white male. Not even a beard. That will disappoint those hoping it was someone of Asian descent...— Andy Sykes (@AndyJSykes) December 17, 2015

Amazed no one's banging on about the race of the Preston bombing suspect. I wonder why?..— Michael Holdsworth (@ginger_michael) December 17, 2015

Wondering why the bomb at Preston shopping centre isn't getting much coverage? yeah, that's right - the fella they're looking for is white

Homemade bomb planted in a Preston bin goes off, but gets hardly any media attention. Wonder what his religion was? https://t.co/nub8HFEQoF

#fishergate I notice the bomb suspect looks "white British"... I also notice the silence over the whole thing. Bomb goes off, hardly a word.

— Edward Kerr (@EdwardKerr2) December 17, 2015

Bomb disposal officers were called to the Fishergate centre after it was evacuated as a precaution and shut down for searches. It was due to re-open today. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting log number 293 of 17 December, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Couldn't keep up the subtle troll anymore..

 

Do u know what that that word means bro? watch the video before jumping to conclusions. Isis threatened to attack Chicago so Keef and another rapper from the city spoke out in anger. Trolling would be posting that Keef has threatened Isis when a such thing never happened and not being able to provide a source or link. Am i lying?
