Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses a favored proposition of official dhimmi Washington — that we should work together with the Saudis to combat terrorism: Blame the “experts.” Blame C.I.A. intelligence agents who operate at the level of Michael Scheuer: a schoolboy, with a schoolboy’s understanding of Islam, and his worldview vitiated by […]

Vatican, Israel in terror spat
This is a disquieting sign of resurgent Vatican dhimmitude. If the Vatican really thinks Israel violated international law, Navarro-Valls should specify when and where. If he cannot do so, he shouldn’t make such statements. Otherwise, all a flat, non-specific statement does is lend support to the idea of moral equivalence, and give aid and comfort […]
LA psychologist clashes with Algerian jihadist over Islamic teachings and terrorism
We need more interviewers like Wafa Sultan who aren’t afraid to challenge jihadist distortions, obfuscations, and sleights of hand. Instead, the mainstream media is awash with dhimmis on both the left and the right. “LA Psycohologyst [sic] Wafa Sultan Clashes with Algerian Islamist Ahmad bin Muhammad over Islamic Teachings and Terrorism,” from MEMRITV, with thanks […]
Saudi women are driving all over the place – Princess
They just have to make sure nobody sees them. From Pakistan’s Daily Times, with thanks to Nicolei: WASHINGTON: Princess Loulwa Al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia denied here on Thursday that Saudi women were not allowed to drive, saying they drove all over the place except in the cities. She told a meeting that in the desert […]
Bangladesh Islamic group protests US lawmaker’s remark
Maybe I was wrong here: maybe the threat to target Muslim holy sites would be an effective deterrent to terrorist activity. Certainly if it has jihadist thugs like the Hizb-ut-Tahrir gang in a froth, it demonstrably rattles them. In any case, I firmly believe there should be a free and open discussion of this question, […]
Pakistan clerics explain ‘jihad’
More misleading talk and half-measures, this time from Pakistan’s top Muslim clerics. From the BBC via the Pakistani Newspaper, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: Lahore, July 29: Pakistan’s top Muslim clerics have said it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to preach the real concept of jihad, or holy war, to young Muslims. “The […]
France ejects 12 Islamic ‘preachers of hate’
A welcome bit of French anti-dhimmitude. And there is no legitimate reason why the British can’t do this too — except perhaps suicidal impulses. From The Telegraph, with thanks to Nicolei: The gulf between British and French treatment of preachers of hatred and violence was thrown sharply into focus yesterday when France announced the summary […]
Foreign students ordered out of Pakistan madrasas
More window dressing from Musharraf. What about homegrown jihadists? After all, the British bombers were Pakistanis, not Arabs who studied in Pakistan. From Reuters, with thanks to all who sent this in: RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (Reuters) – Foreign students attending Islamic religious schools in Pakistan will be ordered to leave as part of a drive to […]
British jihadist: would-be London bombers guilty of tactical errors, not immorality
Hassan Butt doesn’t seem moved by the recent Muslim condemnations of the bombers: he is still convinced that they acted in accord with Islam. This may be in part because the condemnations did not even address the Islamic reasoning that people like Butt use to establish their positions. “Radical Muslim questions tactics of bombers,” from […]
Zambia: Man held for questioning linked to Osama
Haroon Rashid Aswat update. From AP, with thanks to Nicolei: LUSAKA (Zambia): A British man in custody in Zambia in connection with the July 7 London bombings was once a body guard for al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, Zambian security officials said on Friday. The security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because […]
All four London bombers in custody after dramatic raids
Good news from the Times Online, : All three remaining July 21 rucksack bombers are believed to be in police custody tonight after eight days on the run. The suspected Hackney bus bomber is among three men held after dramatic raids in West London today, while the Italian interior ministry reported tonight that it had […]
Iran’s new president glorifies martyrdom, says that Islam will conquer the world
We haven’t heard much from Iran’s new Thug-In-Chief since the London bombings. Here is an update: “Iran’s New President Glorifies Martyrdom,” from MEMRI, with thanks to Ray: The following are excerpts from a speech by Iranian President-Elect Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad, which aired July 25, 2005 on Iranian Channel 1. In it, he praises martyrdom operations and […]
Muslim ‘Moderates’ And Terrorism
“Why we will never be able to count on what we call ‘the moderate Muslims’ for the war against terrorism.” I have personally encountered the reaction of which Fiamma Nirenstein speaks in this New York Sun article (thanks to waterdragon52) many times: Muslims condemn terrorism, but then make all kinds of excuses and exceptions so […]
Jihad Watch’s Spencer guest-hosting the Laurie Roth Show tonight
Tonight I will once again be sitting in for Laurie Roth as host of her nationally syndicated radio program. I’ll be discussing the fatwa against terrorism issued yesterday by American Muslims, the ongoing situation in London, and much more. I hope you will call in. You can listen at the Laurie Roth Show website, as […]
Clueless at the Financial Times
In “Ethnic communities can be devout and good citizens” in the Financial Times (thanks to EPG), Krishna Guha falls into the extremely common error of thinking of the problem of Islamic terror as a racial one, and failing to recognize or understand the significant differences between the suspicions leveled at the Islamic community today and […]
Arrests in terror police swoops
More misunderstanders of Islam apprehended in London. From the BBC, : Armed police investigating the 21 July attempted bombings have made a number of arrests and surrounded flats in west London in “significant” operations. The area, around Dalgarno Gardens, North Kensington, has been cordoned off, and the area has been evacuated. Eyewitnesses say they heard […]
WMAL succumbs to dhimmitude, suspends Michael Graham
This is yet another sad story, and it bodes ill for our freedom in America: Graham’s words were inflammatory, but he had perfectly cogent and reasonable arguments to back them up. When WMAL brushes that aside and caves in to intimidation by CAIR — and falls for its false fatwa — it becomes that much […]
Live from Gaza: Terror Radio
No surprise here, except maybe to those who actually believed the soothing words spoken by Abu Mazen. “Live from Gaza: Terror Radio: Hamas using official station to instruct missile-launch crews,” from WND, : GANEI TAL, Gaza — Hamas has been using its official radio station in Gaza to broadcast instructions to terrorists in the field […]
Basayev broadcast enrages Russia
Maybe ABC was playing the dhimmi. On the other hand, I think it’s good for Americans to hear Basayev saying what he is saying. It counters a bit of the “Islam is peace” propaganda that continues to inundate us. From the BBC, : Russia says it is outraged by an interview with Chechen rebel leader […]
Terror in Jammu after violent killings
Kashmir jihad update from the IANS, with thanks to Fanabba. The “militants” in the story, as is obvious from the context, are Islamic mujahedin: JAMMU: Unleashing a wave of terror in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district, militants axed to death a woman and slit the throats of five men after segregating Hindus and Muslims in […]
