“Islamic State”

The rampant Terror

The attacks from Orlando and Paris, what is recommended by leading jihadists for years: to carry the Terror in the everyday life of the West. The security authorities are facing new challenges.

“Smashed your skull with a stone; to kill them with a knife; crossing you car with your; she plunges from a great height; strangled them or poisoned them”. The recommendations for action, the IS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani in September in an audio message to the supporters of the terrorist organization “Islamic state” (IS) had been issued. In the first place, he added, should attack the “soldiers” of the IS “the vile and filthy French”. But all the “infidels” of other States were legitimate targets.

The message, al-Adnani outputs, both
in Orlando, as well as in Paris on fertile soil. Both perpetrators known as the followers of the IS, both of them were the security authorities of their respective countries. And both make the judiciary the question of how terrorist suspects were to be handled. How does one proceed with people, the files are already in court advice or sympathizers of the IS have known?

No formal structure

Even more, the security authorities engaged a different question: How do you identify people who are willing to commit in the name of the IS terrorist acts? “The Definition of a network is that there is no hierarchy, no formal structure,” says terrorism researcher Peter Neumann to the DW. “This are people who know each other, such as the fact that they were together abroad; that they have met in the jihadist scene and their characteristic ratios are then enabled on a case-by case. It is not a formal structure.”

In the Western countries, first of all
in France, it is precisely this lack of formal structures, the strength of the IS. Possible sympathizers and fighters are harder to identify than in a hierarchical organization. This Form is wanted. “Nizam, la tanzim”, is the famous formula of the theorist of this rampant terrorism, the Syrian jihadist, Abu Musab al-Suri: “A System, not an organization” – that is to say: jihadists an amorphous network forming a personal relationship based, always changing and only loosely-structured System. You can join him and it also. First of all, you can act independently and on their own.

The strategy of Musab al-Suri

Da’wat al-muqawamah al-islamiyyah al-‘alamiyyah (“call to global Islamic resistance”) called Al-Suri’s extensive collection, in which he set out his theory of Jihad. It contains an ideological and a strategic part. The ideology aims at the damnation of the “American-Jewish crusaders”, Al-Suri, the Muslim world was destroyed in a targeted manner. This is done through the “dissemination of a culture of decadence, depravity, adultery, and immorality, of Revealing, of nudity, of the mixing of the sexes and other kinds of social corruption.”

However, it is important to fight back, writes Al-Suri, due to the borderless war, his writing leads in the title. Objectives there are many, of all kinds: politicians and military leaders; economic infrastructure such as airports and ports, railway stations, bridges, interchanges, subways, and tourist destinations. Also military bases and computer centers could attack; but also “soft” targets like media companies and their representatives. All of this, assured Al-Suri, serving only the opposition.

Symbol of terror: the flag of the “Islamic state”

“History of mankind”

This resistance it applies in all its severity: “The kind of attacks that can bring countries and toppling governments, the mass murder of the civilian population. This is done by attacking crowds of people, which leads to Maximum human losses.” It is an easy, insured Suri, because it is a lot of give to such goals. “For example, full sports arenas, once-a-year social events, large international exhibitions, market places, skyscrapers, buildings with a lot of people.”

Probably the 1958-born Al-Suri lived for many years in Europe. To load a leading role in the planning of the attacks on commuter trains in Madrid in March 2003, laid him by over 190 people died and over 2000 were injured. Al-Suris track was lost a few years ago in the prisons of the Assad regime.

Today, his concerns are widely used by a younger Generation, adapted to the main medium of the present, the Internet. One of the most popular works published by Omsen the Senegal-born Frenchman Omar Diaby alias Omar. “19 HH” is to be a multi-segment Clip that is already in the title of a slope to a totalitarian world pictures: “HH” stands for “Histoire de lHumanité”, “history of mankind”. The number 19 refers to the 19 perpetrators of the attacks in New York and Washington in September 2001.

In the Clips Omsen speaks of a supposed world conspiracy against Islam: “you can modify the things according to your ideas and the masses in directions to urge that suits you. … In the name of so-called safety has begun the Propaganda against Islam!” Omsen was considered one of the most important recruiters for the Jihad in Syria. He died in August of 2015.

Mourning after the assassination in Orlando

Al-Adnani, Al-Suri and Omsen: three of the most important Recruiters for global Jihad – a war that now more and more on “soft” targets, the Western daily targets. It is also the social Misfits of society, the Alienated can play a role – as it is now, the assassin of
Orlando and Paris. Small-time criminals, and neurotics, run the Dschiahd,. That is what makes it so difficult to fight him.
