This image of Santa Claus kneeling beside a jihadi who is presumably about to behead him is the epitome of savagery, but to the Islamic State jihadis themselves it is the epitome of righteousness: they believe that Christianity is a twisted, hijacked version of the true religion of Islam, and that they have a divine mandate to execute the wrath of Allah upon the unbelievers: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands…” (Qur’an 9:14).
“ISIS supporters ‘rejoice’ after gun rampage in Strasbourg days after fanatics posted a picture of Father Christmas kneeling in front of a jihadist,” by Miranda Aldersley, Mailonline, December 12, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
ISIS supporters have celebrated last night’s fatal shooting near a Christmas market in Strasbourg.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the deadly attack in the French city, but ISIS fanatics have boasted that it was carried out ‘days after our threats’.
Rita Katz, director of SITE – which monitors terror activity – tweeted that extremists were telling others to ‘rejoice’ and ‘give good news’ after the shooting, which claimed two lives and left another ‘brain dead’.
Supporters of the terror group had recently posted a picture of Father Christmas kneeling in front of a masked jihadist, Katz pointed out….
ISIS supporters have recently been circulating posters inciting attacks and threatening the West.
One poster from just days before the attack shows a Father Christmas figure kneeling on the ground in front of a Christian cross dripping in blood as a masked Jihadi prepares to behead him.
It says: ‘Do not leave your home because we are thirsty for your blood’.
Another poster offers a rallying cry to lone wolf terrorists.
It says: ‘If you are unable to make a bomb or get a gun or bullet, then put your efforts into finding the kaffir alone, the American or the French infidel or any of their allies and smash his head with a stone’
It continues: ‘or cut his neck with a knife, or hit him with your car, or throw him from a high place, or strangle him, or put poison for him, but never give up.
‘Burn his house car or trade or destroy his farm, and if you are unable, spit in his face.’
