By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2018 07:30 pm

There is no evidence in this report that Mounir Okab al-Duleimi rejected jihad violence in general or the jihad imperative to impose Sharia over the world.

Murdering those who vote, however, is not sinful, as it is considered a meritorious act: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands…” (Qur’an 9:14) “Around 170 are killed and […]
