Cyberspace is indeed a combat zone, in many ways, and an arena of the jihad, as we have noted here many times. Here is a useful overview from E. Alshech in the Jerusalem Post (thanks to all who sent this in): Alongside military jihad, which has been gaining momentum and extracting an ever growing price […]

Professor at Kent State University running Jihad web site
“Are You Prepared for Jihad?” IN THE NAME OF OBL. 2007: THE YEAR OF ISLAMIC VICTORY!” “OBL” — you know who that is. Talk of “Crusaders” and praise for suicide bombers. Run by a Kent State prof. “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,” by Mike S. Adams (thanks to all who sent this in): […]
Taliban beheads US “spy,” carves message into his forehead
The use of the word “hypocrite” indicates that they regard this U.S. “spy” as akin to the “hypocrites” of Muhammad’s day, who supposedly pretended to be Muslims while plotting against Muhammad. The Qur’an frequently rails against them. So this is another indication of how the jihadists see this present conflict in religious terms, while the […]
Fitzgerald: Cat’s out of the bag
Those at the Emory Wheel are reduced to this transparent nonsense of Taqiyya and Tu Quoque. How else can they proceed? They know what is in the texts. They know what states, societies, families suffused with Islam are taught. They know the tenets. They know the attitudes. They are well used to the atmospherics. They […]
Fitzgerald: Is anyone else getting bored?
A reader asks, “Is anyone else getting bored with Iraq and Islam?” I am. I am getting bored, quite bored, with Iraq and Islam. In fact, I’ve long been bored silly with the whole business of Iraq and Islam. It is not terribly interesting in itself, except as a case study offering a rich variety […]
Gang rapes Jewish women as “revenge” for Israeli military ops
One may compare this case to many such cases in Pakistan, where gang rape is rather frequently used to settle scores, often to put a lower social group back in its supposed place. Moreover, the burden of proof is on the victim, per the “four witnesses” requirement in Qur’an 24:13, to demonstrate they were not […]
Muslim cabbies tell airport they won’t bend in alcohol dispute
Minneapolis Sharia Cab Controversy Update by Patrick Condon for Associated Press, with thanks to JS: BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – For Abdi Mohamed, it’s not a question of whether he’ll carry passengers with alcohol in his cab. The question is whether he’ll get punished for refusing to do so. “I am Muslim. I’m not going to carry […]
“The Ayatollah Sistani is an Islamist bent on establishing a theocracy not far removed from that found in Iran”
Of course, readers of Jihad Watch have known this since at least April 17, 2004, when I wrote here that “we used to hear all the time that Sistani was a moderate. But it should be clear to everyone now that he wants Sharia in Iraq, and, in accordance with Sharia principles, will not side […]

Bridge for Sale!

Salt Lake Tribune Compares Holocaust Survivor to Killer
Julia Gorin at Political Mavens details a particularly jaw-dropping case of moral equivalence. I had to do a double take when I read these opening paragraphs in Saturday”s Salt Lake Tribune: Holocaust survivor mesmerizes students He was just a little older than his audience when the Nazis starved him and showed him such unspeakable brutality. […]
No Sharia in Minnesota
Jihad Watch reader Greg writes from Minneapolis with an update about the Sharia Cab Controversy: I attended the MAC hearing today about increasing refusal-of-service penalties for cab drivers. It was very well attended, especially by the Somali cabbies (must have been 100 of them). Also present were the NCAA, a Teamsters Union representative, Northwest Airlines, […]
Indian train blast: Jihad groups suspected
However, no group has claimed responsibility. “Indo-Pak peace train hit by terror; 67 dead,” from NewsLocale: Terror struck the Samjhauta Express early Monday morning when a bomb blast ripped apart the peace train causing the death of at least 67 people and injuring many others. The attack involved two crude bombs and occurred near the […]
Taliban ‘knew of Cheney visit’
How did they find out? Probably through contact with people who work with the Americans — in other words, this is likely another indication of the fact that there is no firewall within Muslim communities between jihadists and peaceful Muslims. Jihadists have never been expelled from Islamic communities, but rather move freely within them. And […]
BBC Contends That Islamic Rule Was Stabilizing Force in Somalia
A sadly unsurprising report by Terry Trippany at Newsbusters (thanks to all who sent this in): Violence and chaos are terms that are pretty well defined in society. A person tends to conceptualize events tied to such words by visualizing bombs exploding, bullets flying and all commonly associated images from the ravages of war and […]
Fitzgerald: What have we got for that $27.5 billion?
Selig Harrison notes something that almost no one knows, not in Congress, not in the press, and not, it seems, many others: that since 9/11/2001 the Bush Administration has given Pakistan the equivalent of $27.5 billion dollars. That makes Pakistan, after Iraq, the largest recipient per annum of American aid. The next time someone begins […]
Rage at the Emory Wheel
On February 16 I sent this letter to the Emory Wheel, the newspaper of Emory University, in response to a letter they had printed protesting an advertisement from our Terrorism Awareness Program at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. The Emory Wheel printed it a few days later, whereupon I wrote here: “I predict right now […]
