A little deconstruction by Robert Spencer reveals empty posturing which, no doubt, the Islamodupes in the press and White House will swallow hook, line and sinker.

Jihad

ISIS is reminded that only the Caliph can declare “offensive” jihad but that “defensive” jihad is obligatory. Defensive jihad must be waged when Islam is under attack. No claim to the effect that Islam is not under attack and therefore ISIS is wrongly waging offensive jihad. Given that Islam divides the world into Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb (the House of Islam and the House of War) the message here is? And is not ISIS under attack? A non-condemnation condemnation.

Dhimmitude

There is no compulsion in religion. Infidels have three choices. It is entirely up to them: conversion, dhimmitude, or death. But CAIR admonishes ISIS that these choices apply only to those who are combatants or support combatants or who are “transgressors” against Islam. Of course, all the sneaky infidels, from Christians to Yazidis, seek to undermine or transgress against Islam,

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)

Hudud

Hudud is the law of punishments fixed by Allah (as per the Koran). Stoning for adultery, death for apostates. CAIR admonishes ISIS for being too severe in administering these punishments. The stoning to death should be more humane? In other words -- please do that stuff off camera, It is giving us a bad press and making our stealth jihad more difficult. The useful idiots in the White House might catch on.

There it is. CAIR has given a resounding reprimand to “extremist” ISIS and urged ISIS supporters to return to the “religion of mercy.” And if you believe that Alice has a rabbit hole for you.
