Fitzgerald: The fifth column
Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald makes some observations about the American Muslim community in the wake of the radiation scandal: It is forbidden for a Believer to ally with an Infidel against other Believers. The American government should ponder that carefully — especially the armed services, the diplomatic corps, and the intelligence services. […]
Spencer: Radioactive Mosques?
In FrontPage this morning I discuss the mosque-checking brouhaha. Many news links in the original: New revelations that federal officials are checking mosques for radiation levels has the Council on American Islamic Relations in an uproar. CAIR”s Ibrahim Hooper fumed: “This creates the appearance that Muslims are targeted simply for being Muslims. I don’t think […]
Malaysian woman’s lonely campaign for religious freedom
Islamic tolerance alert from Malaysia. Remember: the traditional penalty for someone who leaves Islam is death, so in a certain sense Kamariah Ali, a member of the late lamented Giant Teapot sect, is getting off easy. “ASIAN LIVES: Malaysian woman’s lonely campaign for religious freedom,” from AFP, with thanks to Hutchrun: KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 28 […]
Australia: Muslims to shame extremist teachers
This is, of course, just what we need — if it is done sincerely and thoroughly. If and only if. But the jury is still very much out as to whether it will go to the core of the problem: the jihad teachings in the Qur’an, Hadith, Sira, and fiqh. More on this story from […]
Iraq: Sunnis left out of police and army
Iranian Shi’ite expansionism update from The Australian, with thanks to JE: BAGHDAD: Voting results from Iraq’s election show that Sunnis, who ran Saddam Hussein’s security apparatus, have been all but expunged from the nation’s police and military.

Where have we got to in the fight against terrorism? We’re lost in a fog
What Alice Miles says about Britain applies equally well to other places — including the U.S., if the current pressure ends up stopping the monitoring of mosques for radiation for good (some reports indicate that the program has already ended). From the Times Online, with thanks to JE: The current confusion, combined with unspecific, but […]
Al-Qaeda in Gaza
Background that is pertinent to this story.

He recently returned from the […]
Gaza gunmen clash with police
“Gunmen from the ruling Palestinian movement Fatah traded fire with police and shut election offices.” The impulse to civil war in Gaza comes from those who wish to establish a Sharia state there; Abbas and Fatah represent the last confused (because already diluted beyond recognition) manifestation of the secular Arab nationalist impulse, with Arafat already […]
Judge: No jurisdiction to overrule Sharia court decision
Shari’a alert from the AP: A Malaysian court on Wednesday rejected a Hindu widow’s claim over the body of her husband, who Islamic authorities say converted to Islam last year and should be buried as a Muslim. The ruling by the High Court threatens to blow up into a rare interracial and religious dispute in […]
Dadullah: My talks with them will only be for their destruction…
One appendage shy of human form has not dulled a Taliban commander’s cognisance of jihad. From the AP: In an interview late on Sunday, the commander, Mullah Dadullah, ruled out any reconciliation with the US-backed government of President Hamid Karzai and claimed the country’s new parliament — its first in more than 30 years, inaugurated […]
Iran says Muslim nations should unite
In support of this article posted at Jihad Watch back in August, Iran’s Majlis (Parliament) has stated their goal of a unified Islamic world. “We strongly support unity among Islamic nations”, the Majlis Speaker said, adding that such unity was critical in preserving the interests of the nations. Of course the “interests” of the Iranian […]
Rockets hit Northern Israel
Recent attention has focused primarily on the threat posed by the small rockets wielded by Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Those weapons, however, pale in comparison to what Hezbollah has deployed in Southern Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the Shi’ite terrorist group fired at least one such rocket into Israel on Tuesday night: Four […]
Fitzgerald: The phenomenon of the “islamochristian”
The phenomenon of the “islamochristian” deserves wider attention, and the word wider use. An “islamochristian” is a Christian Arab who identifies with and works to advance the Islamic agenda, out of fear or out of a belief that his “Arabness” requires loyalty to Islam. Islamization by the Arab Muslim conquerors of Mesopotamia, Syria, and North […]
Ban the Brotherhood
Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen comment on the resurgent Muslim Brotherhood in FrontPage: The recent electoral victory of the outlawed Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB), which won 88 seats up from 15 in the 454 member Parliament, should not be celebrated as an indication of liberalization, democracy and freedom. Neither should the 62 seat […]
Poller: US Oceanography Institute Moves to Topeka, Kansas
Here is a marvelous bit of satire, unfortunately not all that farfetched, from the great Nidra Poller: Despite the efforts of a small group of Zionist extremists, extreme right wing journalists, and pro-Zionist neocon extremists to torpedo the project, the US Oceanography Institute has finally moved into new state-of-the-art laboratories in the suburbs of Topeka […]
D.C. Watson to CAIR: Sit down and shut up
D. C. Watson offers CAIR some more advice: Your concerns are of great importance, or at least they should be. You’re the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in the U.S. Congratulations.

Jihadists threaten to upgrade missiles
Now wait a minute. I thought they were so desperately poor they had to resort to suicide bombing for lack of any other weapons. This propaganda line is getting really hard to follow. “Terrorists threaten to upgrade missiles,” from the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to Johnny and Lisa: Three armed Palestinian groups in the Gaza […]
Wretched simpleton update
This little love note just in from a mysteriously anti-Semitic “Hindu,” who appears to have forgotten the Muslim genocide in India that claimed as many as 70 million lives, and the fact that what Jews have done to India is, well, nothing at all: This webpage of yours is a masterpiece of crap. All your […]
