ISIS Training Followers For 'Double Life' In West

By Cheryl Chumley

ISIS is now circulating a book online, the “Mujahid Guide,” to teach would-be and newbie terrorists how to navigate unfamiliar lands in an undercover fashion to avoid detection and arrest.

The book lays out plans for three distinct groups: Converts to Islam, born Muslims and practicing Muslims, the Gateway Pundit found. And for each group are specific instructions on how to “look more friendly” while simultaneously training for operations.

One whole section goes into the operation that left several Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and staffers dead. The pages of the manual also explain how to steal money from those of non-Islam faiths, how to constrcut bombs and finally, how to flee enemies and land back into the safe arms of the Islamic State if exposed as a terrorist.

The underlying message of the book is to say Muslims currently in the West are ready to rise from their secret ranks and initiate attacks at a moment’s notice.

“When the Jihad reaches your neighborhood, rise up and race towards shahadah (martyrdom). That has been yoru goal from the beginning, that is why you are reading this book. Do not let the fitnah (temptation) of money and weapons override your intention of istish-haad (seeking martyrdom),” a quote from the manual reads, Gateway Pundit reported.

The revelation of this circulating guide comes as a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota announced the arrest of six in Minneapolis and San Diego on suspected ties to ISIS, as WND previously reported. The FBI said all the men were between the ages of 19 and 20 and believed to be plotting to travel to countries near Syria by flying from the airports in San Diego and New York City through Mexico.

A criminal complaint unsealed Monday charges the men with conspiring to provide and attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. Officials say the arrests are representative of a larger issue facing counterterrorism officials in the U.S.

“We have a terror recruiting problem in Minnesota,” the U.S. Attorney in Minnesota, Andrew Luger, said at a press conference Monday.

The news also comes as ISIS just released a video showing terrorists beheading two groups of prisoners in Libya, some of whom were confirmed as Ethiopian Christians. The video was titled “Until There Came to Them Clear Evidence” and shows two groups of men in orange and black jumpuits being executed at different spots in Libya – one on the Mediterranean Sea, the other in Southern Libya.

The latter group were shown to be shot, CNN reported.

In the video, the narrator says: “All praise be to Allah, the Lord and cherisher of the world and may peace and blessings be upon the prophet Mohammed. To the nation of the cross, we are back again on the sands, where the comapnions of the prophet, peace be upon him, have stepped on before, telling you: Muslim blood that was shed under the hands of your religion is not cheap. … And we swear to Allah: the one who disgraced you by our hands, you will not have safety, even in your dreams, until you embrace Islam.”

The narrator then says those who “perform prayer and pay alms” will be protected, CNN reported.

“You pay with willing submission, feeling yourselves subdued,” the narrator goes on, in the video. “Our battle is a battle between faith and blasphemy, between truth and falsehood, until there is no more polytheism, and obedience becomes Allah’s on its entirety.”

Just Monday, Rasmussen Reports released a survey finding only 29 percent of likely U.S. voters think the West is winning the war on terror, down from 33 percent in March.

The survey also found “49 percent of voters now believe most Muslims worldwide view the United States as an enemy, up from 39 percent earlier this year.
