Islamic State terrorists rejoiced at the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani at the hands of his American ‘allies,’ according to a weekly newspaper affiliated with the group that once controlled much of Syria and Iraq.

Soleimani was killed by a US drone strike on January 3, as he drove by the Baghdad international airport in Iraq. In reprisal, Iran launched a limited strike on US bases in Iraq with ballistic missiles on Tuesday, causing no casualties but demonstrating capability to hit US assets at will.

The weekly Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) newspaper Al-Naba portrayed Soleimani’s death as an act of god in support of its cause, and Muslims in general, according to BBC Monitoring.


Thread: In the editorial of its weekly paper #AlNaba, #ISIS welcomes the death of #Soleimani in a US drone strike, but is careful not to openly credit the US for his demise but portrays it as an act of God to support IS and Muslims more broadly.



An editorial in the jihadi paper was careful not to credit the US or even mention Soleimani by name. It couched the gloating in a historical analogy, referring to “Roman-Persian wars” that enabled early Muslims to overrun both Persia – today’s Iran – and parts of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as Byzantium.

The paper also reported on the US and its allies suspending operations against IS as an opportunity for the group’s resurgence, according to BBC journalist Mina Al-Lami.

Replying to @Minalami
This is the typical position of jihadists in such situations: they gloat and pray that God weakens their enemies’ at the hands of one another, for the benefit of jihadists



IS gloats at death of Soleimani in first comment on US-Iran crisis
Islamic State group (IS) has welcomed the death of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani, portraying his demise in a US drone strike on 3 January as an act of divine intervention ...


While IS has not been entirely destroyed, it has not controlled any territory for months. Soleimani’s Quds Force fighters were among those that turned the tide against the IS ‘caliphate,’ alongside the Syrian Army and the Russian expeditionary force in Syria – while the US-backed Iraqi army and Kurdish militias advanced from northern Syria and Iraq.

Citing the possibility IS might reappear, the US is refusing to withdraw from Iraq in open disregard for its ‘partners’ in the government in Baghdad. Iraqi lawmakers passed a nonbinding resolution demanding US withdrawal shortly after Soleimani’s killing, but the State Department said on Friday that no such thing was happening.

Both the US and several of its NATO allies have suspended their training operations of Iraqi security forces for the moment, as they braced for Iranian reprisals. Some allies even pulled their personnel out of Iraq into the neighboring Kuwait. However, US President Donald Trump has called for an expanded role of NATO in Iraq.

The solution is bigger than soleimani or any other individual, they can all be replaced.

But what can Iraq do when other regional states accepted and blindly contributed to the rise of Isis. First we can thank the FSA for sharing weapons with ISI in deir Al.zour 2012, before it became Isis as they took over eastern Syria.

These Middle Eastern wars are such a racket....

Anyways, I hope the ISIS threat is kept at a low-level by all the parties involved fighting against them. We really don't need this crazy group of deluded ideologues running amok once again.

 

[Saddam Hussein]

Camp bucca used to hold all the senior Isis leaders before 2011. It could all have been prevented.

Either way Soleimani is barely going to make a difference, the actual real difference is if USAF was to leave Iraq. Then we will see a degraded Iraqi military capability, ISIS would benefit. You can complain all you like but that's what it comes down to. Iraqi military lacks in signals intelligence and aerial capability, Soleimani is not magic.

Prior to the rise of ISIS, it was democratic rule which was the main theme in the middle East following the Arab Spring. All changed all of a sudden when ISIS rose to capture the headlines. Instead of establishing democratic rule in the middle East, fighting ISIS became the new theme. All the autocratic regimes in the middle East became happier. Syria benefitted the most due to the shifting of focus to ISIS. They presented two possibilities : Do you want Assad or ISIS in power of Damascus ?

 

[thewayoftheworld]

So ISIS and US and Israel are on the same team. US is saving Terrorist groups who beheads people and burning people alive. Now we know the truth

 

[MMM-E]

because of CIA-MOSSAD-MI6 and S.Arabia made ISIS is reason for the US to be in Syria and Iraq

Iraq is doomed again unfortunately. Kurds, yankees, saudis and some other Iraqi neighbors want it to happen.

Iran is an Iraqi neighbor as well, most active one in Iraq

 

[Mr.NiceGuy]

If CIA and Mossad gave the permission then they can appear again.
That means we are gonna see that Muslims will be slaughtered again.
