ISIS Are Among Us

Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): Why among us? It is for the reason that this issue is no secret. We have seen with our own eyes all of its aspects, in the virtual spehere as well as in reality. We have witnessed the creation of a "beast" among us. Not a single word was held back, not even a whisper. The extremist ideology grew before our eyes. All the features of the "Jihadi Age" were demonstrated to us in such an easy language. Indeed, ISIS are among us because they were left to grow among us. Their language, brutality, atrocities, symbols, and its primitive interpretation of all things and the world were all manifested before us very clearly. We are the ones who stood baffled because the Bahraini government, with its mighty forces, was not shaken by any of that! It is not a coincidence. ISIS, who concerns us deeply, were by all means created intentionally and purposely. That's why they are among us now. This is what we aim to prove in this file.

The heroes of the "Jihadi circle" were never unwise. They have presented most of their work on the timeline, with their well-known names, their movement, their embellished nicknames and even personalities. They themselves did not leave any gap unfilled and did not leave any place for predictions. They were completely frank and explicit, and they were absolutely "progressive" in matters concerning internet usage, to the extent that one of the prominent "Jihadists" was "fed up" and left. It was Abu Mohammed Al-Maqdesi, who was Turki's Binali's mentor and teacher. He said that "Looseness among the ranks of Jihadists has led them to use all sorts of media outlets while their brothers before them avoided their usage."

We have seen during the past three years the "Equipping Invaders" campaign ads spread across cyber space with stamped signatures. We have seen individuals sneaking into Syria, and their pictures taken with missiles and machineguns. We have witnessed the so-called Sheikhs spending lavishly on Jihadi movements. We have witnessed Al-Qaeda flags being waved just meters away from the "Embassy". We have heard the one who said: "Take advantage of the summer vacation by heading for Jihad in Syria" (Al-Hamad), and who said: "The essence of the cause of Islam is in the Levant" (Al-Mo'awada). We also heard one say: "Whoever is able to join the military should do so," (Al-Husseini) and another say: "Raise your hands to pledge allegiance to Al-Baghdadi" (Al-Binali).

We have watched montaged videos from the blessed land, entitled "Thanks to our Bahraini funders". We also watched montaged videos from the other blessed land, entitled "A message to the Sunnis". We have also watched Bahrain's Al-Binali preaching the poor worshipers of Raqqa to "obey the caliph no matter what". Everything was open and extremely explicit!

When we began writing these reports, everything we based our main assumptions on was within everyone's reach. We had a huge amount of data spread before us online. We had to collect "dozens, hundreds and thousands" of facts and categorize them and then place them into context; in a story that made us somewhat understand why the Bahraini authorities used a widespread propaganda, until late this year, to deny one thing. That is "ISIS followers do not exist among us". That's what the deputy prime minister stated confidently. Our mission here is to say "ISIS are indeed among us". They are among us today to this extent because this kind of pedant statements continues to emerge resembling a "crazy comedy"; as authorities continue to take up no responsibility, saying: "They are not among us!".
