Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Answering the Call to Jihad

Oct 31, 2003 10:50 pm By Robert Spencer

“Across Europe and the Middle East,” says the New York Times, “young militant Muslim men are answering a call issued by Osama bin Laden and other extremists, and leaving home to join the fight against the American-led occupation in Iraq, according to senior counterterrorism officials based in six countries.” Wait a minute. Don’t these “young […]

“I know Who Doesn’t Want Iraq To Be Free”

Oct 31, 2003 4:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Louis Sako, Chaldean Catholic Bishop of Kirkuk in Iraq, has spoken out about the situation in his homeland. Bishop Sako is one of the five Christians on the 200-member panel now working on Iraq’s new constitution. But outside forces, he says, are making their job more difficult: “Iraq as an engine of democracy does not […]

Rod Dreher on ISNA

Oct 31, 2003 3:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Rod Dreher reports in the Dallas Morning News about a most revealing interview with Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed, general secretary of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Dreher asked Syeed a question about ISNA’s ties to extremists. He writes: “Dr. Syeed’s revealing reaction – he said that my query reminded him of ‘Nazism’ and […]

New Issue of “Voice of Jihad”

Oct 31, 2003 3:02 pm By Robert Spencer

The Middle East Media Research Institute reports on a new issue of Al-Qaeda’s online magazine, “Voice of Jihad.” “Our number one enemy,” this issue tells us, “is the Jews and the Christians, and we must free ourselves to invest all our efforts until we annihilate them – and we are able do this if Allah […]

Turkey: Attackers critically injure Turkish Christian

Oct 31, 2003 2:34 pm By Robert Spencer

Compass Direct reports today that Yakup Cindilli, a Turkish convert to Christianity, is in a coma after receiving a savage beating from members of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), a political party which “has historically linked its platform with an Islamic-tinged version of nationalism.” Cindilli’s offense? According to the Turkish paper Milliyet, Cindilli and a […]

Hillary Blasts PA for Teaching Hate

Oct 31, 2003 1:14 pm By Robert Spencer

I have always said that the struggle against jihad terror and dhimmitude is not a conservative or liberal issue; it is a human rights issue. Any person of good will who believes in the equality of rights and dignity of all people — women as well as men, non-Muslims as well as Muslims — should […]

Two new pieces

Oct 31, 2003 7:31 am By Robert Spencer

Check out this morning a Symposium on Muslim Anti-Semitism at Front Page, featuring Bat Ye’or, Walid Phares, Kenneth Timmerman, and me. Also there today is a piece on the new statement on Islam from La Civiltá Cattolica, about which I wrote here yesterday.

Dhimmitude at the VOA

Oct 30, 2003 4:18 pm By Robert Spencer

The Voice of America was once a key component of America’s ideological struggle against Communism. But against a new threat it seems to be having trouble summoning the requisite backbone. In this interview with the author of a new book on terrorism, the author explains why she profiled Christian cultists and Jewish militants in a […]

Bin Laden’s Family to Run Saudi Airports

Oct 30, 2003 3:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Osama bin Laden’s family, which has disowned its most famous son, runs one of the five companies that have just been awarded contracts to operate Saudi airports. Osama, of course, has already displayed a taste for air operations. And as this news report notes laconically, “Western intelligence agencies said Al Qaida has been planning to […]

“This is Not How We Work Here”

Oct 30, 2003 3:31 pm By Robert Spencer

This just in from Sheik Mohammed Omran of Melbourne, Australia: violent jihad is acceptable in Iraq, but not in Australia itself. Why not? As the Sheikh put it to two Abdul Rahman Ayub and Abdul Rahim Ayub, Australia-based leaders of the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah in Australia: “This is not how we work here.” What […]

Ramadan: The Month of Jihad

Oct 30, 2003 3:10 pm By Robert Spencer

The Christian Science Monitor reports today on a strange phenomenon: the increase in the number of terror attacks since the beginning of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. Why would any Muslim devote his energy to killing people during a period when he should be spending his time increasing his religious fervor? Precisely because jihad is, […]

Dhimmitude at the New York Post

Oct 30, 2003 2:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Amir Taheri has written a great deal of worthwhile material, but I can’t add his New York Post piece “No One Speaks For All Muslims” to the list. It’s a classic example of the dhimmitude that whitewashes any blot on the master’s record. To wit: “. . . many commentators in the West, especially in […]

The Vatican Speaks Out Against Dhimmitude

Oct 30, 2003 1:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Many (if not most) of you have already seen this at LGF, but I had been planning to put it up already, and it is so significant that I didn’t want to let it go by unremarked. La Civiltà Cattolica, a Jesuit magazine in Rome that enjoys semi-official status in the Catholic Church, has published […]

Louis and Mahathir

Oct 30, 2003 7:39 am By Robert Spencer

Louis Farrakhan is waning in influence these days, but he and his Nation of Islam should not be underestimated: his word still counts for a great deal among many, many Americans. And although neither Sunnis nor Shi’ites consider the Nation of Islam a proper or orthodox Muslim group, Farrakhan finds a great deal to admire […]

Dhimmitude in Germany

Oct 29, 2003 3:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Here is a perceptive and illuminating piece from Serge Trifkovic, author of the superb Sword of the Prophet: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam. This is modern Germany, a land too spiritually and culturally exhausted to resist those who openly declare their intent to remake Germany into an Islamic state. What is in store for […]

More on Hizb-ut-Tahrir

Oct 29, 2003 8:51 am By Robert Spencer

At Jihad Watch I just posted information about a remarkable story in which the radical Muslim group Hizb-ut-Tahrir discloses its aims. In the story, this organization shows that the laws of dhimmitude are very much part of the radical Muslim program. This is how non-Muslims would be treated in a Hizb-ut-Tahrir state — and everything […]

A refreshingly honest admission

Oct 29, 2003 8:39 am By Robert Spencer

The Islamic group Hizb-ut-Tahrir has given Forum 18 News Service a remarkably open acknowledgment of radical Muslim goals. It’s all here. Hizb-ut-Tahrir wants to: 1. Restore a worldwide Caliphate, uniting the world under Islamic rule; 2. Ban all faiths apart from Islam, Judaism and Christianity (members of other religions are not listed as “People of […]

Dhimmitude in Italy — and Egypt

Oct 29, 2003 8:09 am By Robert Spencer

Not only has Italy banned the crucifix from a classroom — now they’ve thrown the Pope’s “Jubilee Cross” into the garbage. The classroom crucifix ban accedes to the wishes of “Muslim activist” Adel Smith, who was offended by the thought of his daughter having to gaze in class at a “miniature cadaver.” Smith pressed all […]

Amputation for Theft in Iran

Oct 29, 2003 6:59 am By Robert Spencer

AP reported recently that “a convicted armed robber” in Iran “has been punished by having four fingers on his right hand amputated, a local judiciary official said Saturday.” What does this have to do with jihad? Everything. According to classic Islamic law, jihad requires the Muslim community to make “war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians […]

Announcing Dhimmi Watch

Oct 28, 2003 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Just as dhimmitude is a consequence of jihad, so Dhimmi Watch is a subsidiary of Jihad Watch. Dhimmitude is everywhere in the treatment of Islam by Western academics and media analysts. A recent example: The estimable Charles at Little Green Footballs is highlighting a PBS information site on Islam. Like so many of these professedly […]
