Pankisi Valley in Georgia, near the Russian border, is highlighted in red.
Until and unless Islamic jihadis and Islam are understood and dealt with accordingly, it is foolhardy and a terrible waste of human life, resources, time, and the continued clueless approach taken since long before September 11th, 2001. America’s and the West’s approach to Islam and Islamic jihad has only fueled and intensified — permitting it to grow and branch out in more places on earth — rather than acknowledging, understanding the history and facts, and responding accordingly.
Rather than financially and ideologically supporting Islam and Islamic jihad as America and Western nations have over the past few decades.
Islamic jihad, terrorism that has never been responded to, understood, and dealt with as it should be is increasing and will continue to increase. As long as those in positions to do something about this in America and the West maintain the status quo, which for decades has been primarily to talk and do little to stem the tide and growth of Islamic jihadist terror groups and devotees.
This errant belief that if a certain individual is removed that Islamic terrorism will decline or even cease has proved to be erroneous. Just another big lie. Osama bin Laden was killed. And this was supposed to be Islamic jihadist #1 and his removal was to put such a shock into Islamic terrorism that it would lessen and some even said publically cease — but all Islamic terrorism has done is INCREASE.
Are we great, or what!?
Evil is at work here. In high offices in America, and in the West not truly wanting to lessen or rid the world of Islamic terrorism. Otherwise? Wouldn’t truly effective policies and actions have been adopted and put in place? Rather than feeding Islamic terrorism, foolishly thinking Islamists could be buried, paid off, and stop their rabid burning white-hot hatred of America, the West, and all non-Islmists.
Is anyone in Washington, D.C., London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, or Brussels that truly knows what Islam is and Islam’s history? Anyone?
I’m not proposing escalating a war, or bringing about a major war — but rather than financially enhance, ideologically enhance, aid and abet the enemy, take out their oil incomes, take out their nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment facilities, do not grant visas or invite them in, and speak and write the facts, the truth such blows would restore Islam to its influence, perhaps, of that in the 1950s and 1960s.
Otherwise? A world war could and likely can erupt full bore. All the while vainly, foolishly thinking appeasement, bribes, and paying ransom money would achieve the desired goals.
Oh, and the rumors of ISIS’s demise were greatly exaggerated…just as the war on Islamic terrorism has been for the past 22 years.
What is really going on? Why do I write such things as this? Because the war on Islamic terrorism and what is transpiring daily, and nightly in our world are always spoken and written about, thought about as political and cultural problems. That’s like blaming your house on fire and burning down to the fact you’re a good person and really thought giving the neighborhood children a can full of gas and a lighter and telling them to play in your basement was a good idea.
i am aware of my being redundant in writing everything taking place is more about a spiritual war than a political or cultural one but that is only because it is. And most folks somehow still do not see this truth.
What is taking place in the Middle East goes back to Isaac and ishmael, to Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar. To God giving Israel the land and the offspring of Ishmael always being a problem as can happen in families, especially when God directly tells how things are going to be as a result of what Sarah, Hagar and Abraham did.
What is taking place this very day in the Middle East is all part and prarcel of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. The unfolding of history as foretold in God’s Word. It’s the Biblical times in which we live. Increasing in violence, in rumors, in rebellion, in the people being given over to their wicked, unrighteous, wicked minds by God in His knowing that no matter what so many people will never come from being darkness, in darkness into the Light, the Way, and the Truth. And God gives them over to their wicked and always evil minds. It’s in the Bible. Why don’t more folks believe?
Well, could be they prefer denial, hiding from reality, living in a banal illusion, or they go through each day and night with a deluded mind, a reprobate mind in complete rebellion against God the Creator, Jesus the Saviour, and the Holy Spirit the Comforter.
Also refusing to acknowledge an eternity in hell is a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time to exist in total misery, pain, suffering and a place devoid of God, devoid of Jesus, devoid of the Holy Spirit, devoid of the truth and light and occupied only by Satan and all those he kept enslaved to himself.
That is the saddest, most tragic story ever told while the Lord Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice on the cross, what God has done for us sinners through faith and obedience to His Son, Jesus, is the Greatest Story Ever Told!
And those are the only two stories worth knowing, really.
Both are true. Only one of the two places will be the residence of every soul that has ever lived.
For eternity.
And that’s a long, long, long…well try to comprehend it if you can, and no one can…time…

Islamic State jihadis are traveling from Turkey to Georgia and rebuilding the group there
Meanwhile, ISIS is also working for a caliphate in West Africa and elsewhere.

“ISIS’s new address is Pankisi Valley: Jihadists are being taken from Ankara,” translated from “IŞİD’in yeni adresi Pankisi Vadisi: Ankara’dan cihatçı götürülüyor,” by Hale Gönültaş, Artı Gerçek, October 25, 2023:
ISIS, which is trying to restructure under the name Mekteb-i Furkan, provides armed training in the Pankisi Valley in Georgia. Those recruited to the organization are taken from Ankara to the valley as workers of subcontracted companies that work for construction companies in Turkey.
It was learned that ISIS concentrated its reconstruction, recruitment, armed and military training efforts in the Pankisi Valley in the northeast of Georgia. Pankisi Valley, where Chechen refugees live in the northeast of Georgia, has been known for the existence of ‘jihadist’ structures for many years. Former jihadists from Turkey, who are experienced in military/armed training and are in conflict zones with ISIS, are being taken to Georgia via designated routes with various support.
It was learned that Morality and Sunnah Magazine, which is also stated in the prosecutor’s office documents to have been active in the restructuring process of ISIS under the name of “Mekteb-i Furkan,” opened its Georgian Representative Office in the settlement called Kakheti near the Pankisi Valley.
We asked our questions to the Press Unit of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the field of activity of Ethics and Sunnah Magazine in Georgia and the names mentioned in the permit application documents. The Ministry’s press officer stated that they did not have an application or permission for an organization under the name of ‘Journal of Ethics and Sunnah’ to operate in their country.
ISIS IS GATHERING STRENGTH IN THE DESERT
After the loss of ISIS’s last piece of land, Baghuz, its territorial dominance in Syria ended. This situation brought about comments that ISIS was defeated and that it was coming to an end, but it was frequently stated that during the periods when the organization was strong, it analyzed the desert regions for a possible collapse scenario and turned them into a large shelter for itself. As a matter of fact, after the last loss of land in the region, it retreated to the Meyadin-Resafa-Ithriya-Tedmür region, which consists of deserts and hills in Syria. After this process, it followed ISIS and entered into conflict with Syrian state elements stationed in the desert. Although the organization lost both its economic and militant power, it gathered strength for new attacks with few losses, thanks to the geography’s suitable hiding place.
RESTRUCTURING PROCESS AND TRAININGS
It was determined that during the disintegration of ISIS, Turkey became a country of refuge for the militants of the organization.
It was stated in the news published in Artı Gerçek on August 25 that the organization entered a restructuring process in Turkey through both its Turkish and foreign militants.
As stated in the news, while ISIS was trying to gain strength in financial/military/militant matters in the desert in Syria, it was also seeking to find similar power in Georgia, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine, Chechnya, Mali, Uganda and Sudan.
MORALITY AND SUNNET MAGAZINE NEW STRUCTURING OF THE ORGANIZATION
The jihadist group that led the restructuring of ISIS under the name of Ethics and Sunnah Magazine in Turkey is under the surveillance of Turkish intelligence and security forces. In the statement made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding the operation carried out in 23 provinces on May 5, it was stated that Morality and Sunnah Magazine “is the structure of DAESH in Turkey.”
