“The sect believes that praying once a day is sufficient for Muslims and also calls for a revision of the current interpretations of the Koran.” Oh, the horror! Wouldn’t it be refreshing if somewhere, anywhere, Muslim authorities cracked down this hard on the jihadists? From AKI (thanks to Twostellas): Jakarta, 30 Oct. (AKI) — Ahmad […]

Dartmouth Muslim student spreads falsehoods about Qur’an, Spencer
As with the Brown story, this story from the Dartmouth college newspaper is accompanied by a bogeyman photo obviously designed to portray me as a Hitlerian rabble-rouser. There was a campus photographer at the Darmouth talk who was, I was told, taking “hundreds” of photos. I responded at the time that he was no doubt […]
“What we did was to fight the soldiers of Zion and the cross. If there are victims among Muslims it was just an error. Muslims” blood is not halal and their killing was not intentional.”
These Islamophobes: how dare Imam Samudra, Mukhlas and Amrozi link Islam with terrorism! I trust they will be getting a strongly worded letter from Ibrahim Hooper. Or at least that CAIR will issue a strong denunciation of these statements. Won’t they? “No regrets for the smiling murderers,” from the Times (thanks to Morgaan Sinclair): The […]
Questions for a journalist
I just emailed this to Wall Street Journal reporter Elizabeth Holmes, who wrote this morning’s wildly biased story about those horrible Republican Presidential candidates linking Islam with terrorism: Dear Ms. Holmes, In light of the considerations I voiced in my Jihad Watch post about your article, I’d like to interview you for an article I’m […]
Emory President apologizes for disruption of Horowitz speech, promises to guard apologist for jihad terror
James W. Wagner, President of Emory University, where the self-proclaimed proponents of free speech and free inquiry behaved like the fascist thugs they really are and shouted down David Horowitz last week, has apologized to the College Republicans for the disruption of the event they sponsored. In the course of his apology, Wagner says this: […]
BBC trolls for Muslim grievance stories
More balanced, objective journalism: at the end of a story on Britain’s first Muslim minister, Shahid Malik, being detained at a U.S. airport (thanks to PRCS for the heads-up), the BBC adds this: Are you a Muslim who has been detained in an American airport? Did you think it was justified? Send us your comments […]
Laura Bush’s embrace of tyranny
Caroline Glick explains exactly what’s wrong with Laura Bush donning the hijab in “Our World: Laura Bush’s embrace of tyranny” in the Jerusalem Post (thanks to LGF): Women in Saudi Arabia do not have human rights. As Amnesty International puts it, “The abuse of women’s rights in Saudi Arabia is not simply the unfortunate consequence […]
CAIR whines that Republicans speak of “Islamic terrorism,” Democrats don’t
Pamela has a post this morning, “CAIR Plays Presidential Politics With Our Lives,” about CAIR complaining that “while Democrats tend to talk about terrorism in general, Republicans increasingly pin the threat directly on Islam.” That quote comes from a piece posted on CAIR’s website, “CAIR: Republicans Pin Terror on Islam, Democrats Don’t.” This is not, […]
Germany Cracks Down on Forced Marriages
A small step toward anti-dhimmitude. By Kirsten Grieshaber for Associated Press (thanks to LGF): Chancellor Angela Merkel has joined a growing movement to criminalize forced marriages in Germany, which is growing less tolerant of practices among Muslim immigrants that clash with the nation’s liberal social values. Forced marriages are generally imposed by young women’s families […]
‘Hate literature easily found at UK mosques’
No one should be surprised by this. But of course they are surprised, because they refuse to look into the contents of Islamic teaching for themselves. By Toby Helm in the Telegraph (thanks to all who sent this in): Extremist literature that encourages hatred of gays, Christians and Jews can be easily found at many […]
Pakistan: Memorizing the Qur’an, but not learning multiplication or even how to write
Why Pakistan’s estimated 20,000 madrassas are the country’s biggest jihad threat. “Pakistan’s problem child recites the Koran,” by Colin Freeman in the Telegraph (thanks to Joe): Like many younger pupils at Karachi’s Jamia Binoria madrassa, 12-year-old Imran Mohammed is a shy, quietly spoken child who is all but tongue-tied in front of his elders. One […]
“There is a long history of girls being kidnapped from Europe and ending up in Morocco”
“Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess…” (Qur’an 4:3). Do any Muslims still take female captives and feel themselves justified in doing so by this teaching […]
Iranian Revolutionary Guard general threatens suicide attacks in Persian Gulf
“Iranian general warns of Gulf suicide bombings,” from Agence France-Presse: TEHERAN – A top general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on Monday warned that the Basij militia were ready “˜if necessary” to carry out suicide operations in the Gulf, amid rising tensions with the United States, the Fars news agency reported. “˜If necessary we will take […]
Pols pander at AAI conference
Several presidential candidates and other prominent politicians appeared at this weekend’s Arab American Institute conference, and they appear to have indulged in a good deal of sobbing and handwringing over the alleged human rights abuses that Arab Americans currently suffer, while saying nary a word (at least from the looks of this story) about our […]
Spencer on the Islam Is Peace campaign’s focus on “Islamophobia”
Hugh and others have urged me to expand this Hot Air Jihad Watch video into a five-part series, examining each of the five objectives of the UK “Islam Is Peace” campaign at some length. And so it begins with this video on the first objective. More to come.
US embassy targeted by Azerbaijan Methodists — no, wait…
…it was “a radical Islamic group.” Oh, will the Islamophobia never end? “US embassy targeted by Azerbaijan terror,” by Aida Sultanova for Associated Press: BAKU, Azerbaijan – The U.S. and British embassies suspended operations Monday in Baku, where the government said it thwarted a radical Islamic group’s plot to conduct a “large-scale horrifying terror attack” […]
Spencer speaking at Dartmouth College, October 26, 2007
Here is video of my Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week talk at Dartmouth College last Friday night, courtesy Harrison Sonntag, the fearless and redoubtable Dartmouth student who was largely responsible for making it possible for me to speak there. Please watch this video. Compare and contrast it to this email that was sent around by Kurt Nelson, […]
Sudan president says will export ethics and morals to Western countries
The murderous Khartoum regime, which has been butchering Christians in Southern Sudan for years and is now waging a jihad against those it deems insufficiently Muslim in Darfur, has now accused the West of “lacking ethics and morals,” and promised to “export” them to us. Omar Al-Bashir must be one of those whom Dinesh D’Souza […]
Aussie Muslim leader: Jihadists will bomb Australia if relations between Muslims and police don’t improve
And of course, the responsibility for that lies solely with the police, not with the Muslim community in Australia. “Australia risks ‘London-type bombing,’” by John Lyons in The Australian (thanks to LGF): AUSTRALIA faces a “London-type bombing” if relations between Muslims and the intelligence and police authorities do not improve, an influential Islamic youth leader […]
Four more years! Four more years!
Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of Jihad Watch, and we are beginning our second term with things pretty much the way they always have been: the jihadists are still plotting, their allies and dupes are still lying and covering for them, the mainstream media (liberal and conservative) is still cowering in fear, and we are […]
