The difference between jihad and terrorism? The target

Dec 29, 2003 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Reader “my.joy18” has kindly forwarded to me an Arab News question and answer piece entitled “Sept. 11 Attacks Nothing but Terrorism.” Alas, I have been occupied with many other things the last few days, and didn’t immediately put it up. Now it is gone without a trace. I wonder if that has anything to do […]

The face of Islamic tolerance in Seattle

Dec 29, 2003 10:49 am By Robert Spencer

The Sharia mandates second-class status for non-Muslims, and forbids a non-Muslim man to marry a Muslim woman. This provision seems to have come West already: “A Grant County man has been charged with trying to kidnap his sister from her Sedro-Woolley home in what police believe was an attempt to punish her for marrying outside […]

Sharia watch: Kuwaiti MP calls for music ban in schools

Dec 28, 2003 8:29 am By Robert Spencer

Radical Muslims are fighting around the world to institute Sharia law, with its institutionalized oppression of non-Muslims — dhimmitude. A new glimpse at what a Sharia state would look like comes from Kuwait, where “an Islamist parliamentarian has said he was coordinating with other MPs to ban music education at schools in Kuwait as ‘anti-Islamic […]

Bush = Trotsky?

Dec 28, 2003 8:23 am By Robert Spencer

Amir Butler, Executive Director of the Australian Muslim Public Affairs Committee (AMPAC), has written an op-ed in the Jakarta Post entitled “Trotsky’s idea clearly similar to forced democracy upon Muslim World.” Well, I wouldn’t have thought of comparing Bush to Trotsky, although Woodrow Wilson has crossed my mind. But the main point of Butler’s editorial […]

Jihad to be explained by scholars

Dec 28, 2003 8:12 am By Robert Spencer

At long last, a group of Islamic scholars is going to cut through all the confusion and explain what the word jihad really means: “The Council of Religious Ministers for Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (MABIMS) will publish a comprehensive working paper for explaining Jihad (crusade or holy war) to their Ummah (followers of […]

Dec 27, 2003 8:17 am By Robert Spencer

MEMRI has published extracts from sermons in Palestinian mosques over the last three years.

A Not So Merry Christmas in the Holy Land

Dec 26, 2003 12:22 pm By Robert Spencer

David Bedein writes at FrontPage about Christmas in the Palestinian Authority, noting that “this is the first Christmas since the Palestinian Authority adopted an official constitution based on Koranic ‘Sharia’ Law, which means that all Christians who live under the PA are now subject to Islamic Law. “Over the past three years, while attention has […]

Jihad in Tennessee

Dec 26, 2003 10:46 am By Robert Spencer

Yes, there was a militant Muslim organization in Knoxville, Tennessee, that was helping fund jihad in Bosnia and Chechnya in the 1990s, but it’s no longer active. See? Nothing to be concerned about at all. KnoxNews reports that “a former member of a secretive Islamic fundamentalist organization in Knoxville helped funnel money to militant fighters […]

Radical Muslims’ sentencing delayed

Dec 26, 2003 10:33 am By Robert Spencer

Did the attack on Maher cause the postponement? “An Egyptian security court has postponed sentencing in the trial of 23 Egyptians and three Britons accused of plotting to oust Arab governments.” So says Al-Jazeera, with thanks to Nicolei. “They stand accused of belonging to and trying to reactivate the banned Islamic Liberation Party, and aiming […]

Palestinian children collect pictures of militants like baseball cards

Dec 26, 2003 10:07 am By Robert Spencer

The tiny minority of extremists, repudiated and despised as they are by the vast majority of Muslims, is printing the faces of its heroes on trading cards.

Muslims warned to leave U.S. cities — again

Dec 25, 2003 7:44 am By Robert Spencer

Evidently American Muslims in New York, Washington, and Los Angeles should keep their bags packed: six weeks after warnings for Muslims to leave those cities were posted on radical Muslim websites, they have appeared again. WorldNetDaily reports that “known al-Qaida affiliated websites are warning Muslims to leave New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles ahead […]
