Yes, you read that right. I would venture to say that the Chutzpah level of this one far surpasses anything we have seen in four years of jihad watching at this site. “Saudi king chides UK on terrorism,” from the BBC (thanks to Sr. Soph): Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has accused Britain of not doing […]

Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 8, “Booty,” verses 1-30
As we all know, Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everyone from Barack Obama and John Kerry and David Cameron to the New York Times and the Washington Post and CNN tells us that, and all the political and media elites, Left and Right, take it as axiomatically true. And now we come to the […]
Brown Daily Herald praises students for not rioting over assertion that Islam is not a religion of peace
“Polemics don’t advance the debate,” says the Brown Daily Herald in “Ignoring ‘Islamofascism’ hype,” a vicious little polemic that accuses the organizers of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week of wanting a “fight.” The editorialist preens: “We’re glad that the debate is being carried out at this level, not with signs and shouting.” Of course, there was shouting […]
Muslim USAF vet: “Hizballah are freedom fighters”
From our Which Side Are You On Department comes Patrick Poole’s story about Ohio Muslim activist and U.S. Air Force veteran Mahmoud El-Yousseph, who declares in video at the Central Ohioans Against Terrorism site (scroll down) that the Death-to-America chanting jihadists of Hizballah are actually freedom fighters. Poole also provides substantial background on Hizballah’s war […]
Fitzgerald: Sudan, Darfur, and the Jihad
Osama bin Laden is now attacking the government in Khartoum, decrying the permission given by the fanatical Arab Muslims in Khartoum to the “infidels” — i.e., allowing in some completely ineffective troops from the African Union to “keep the peace” in Darfur. He needn’t worry. Turabi is still Turabi, and the Muslims of Khartoum are […]
“I want the Sharia law imposed in my country”
Those words are spoken by a Muslim woman, apparently a student of George Washington University, in this Incorrect U video (the top one) of GWU Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week festivities. It’s at right about the five-minute mark. Maybe she doesn’t mean the United States. Hard to say. But she may. “Imposed.” Not “voted in,” or even […]
Sued for watching jihad
Don’t miss the interview with ex-spy Bruce Tefft at FrontPage, and contribute to his legal defense fund. He is being victimized by an effort at legal intimidation the likes of which Jihad Watch readers have seen many times before.
Expert presents Islam as tolerant
By Adam Smeltz in CentreDaily: UNIVERSITY PARK – The Western world may not hear this too often, but nothing in Islam justifies terrorism, a scholar on the Middle East said Thursday night. WRONG. We hear all the time that “Islam is a religion of peace.” See remarks by President Bush, President Clinton, Senator Reid, Secretary […]
Hey, we came here to wage an interior spiritual struggle!
Actually, they knew it would be about waging war, but they found out no war needed to be waged: “They’d followed the call from a religious leader in Pakistan to come in and wage jihad. They were told believed that the ‘infidels’ — the NATO forces — were running this country now, and they came […]
Sermon about killing Jews? Check. Association with accused jihadist cleric? Check. He must be out to ease Muslim-Jewish relations!
“Out of context.” “Anti-Muslim prejudice.” Not: “We repudiate now and forever any Islamic tradition or teaching that teaches hatred of and/or violence against Jews, and pledge to do all we can to offer benign reinterpretations of this material if it cannot be rejected outright, and to work against the effects of such teachings within the […]
Pakistani jihadists behead six security officials, murder seven civilians
“It is the fate of an American agent. Whoever works for America will face the same fate.” “Pakistan militants behead guards,” from the BBC (thanks to Davida): Militants in north-west Pakistan have beheaded six security officials and killed seven civilians in apparent reprisals for an army attack. The army attack on the stronghold of pro-Taleban […]
Spencer at Counterjihad Summit, Brussels, October 18, 2007
I linked last week to the indefatigable and courageous Pamela’s video of the same talk, given in the Flemish Parliament building in Brussels during the Counterjihad Summit. This new video comes courtesy of Steen. Of course virtually the entire discussion of the Counterjihad Summit has degenerated into accusations and counter-accusations revolving around the alleged neo-Nazi […]
France to hold Palestinian jizya conference
And the money will flow, in exchange for still more empty promises that will be broken practically before they’re even made. “France to host Palestinian donors conference,” from AFP (thanks to Sr. Soph): PARIS (AFP) – France will hold a special conference of donors for the Palestinians at the end of the year which will […]
Afghan jihad/martyrdom bomber, recent grad of Pakistani madrassa, kills own family
Things didn’t go precisely the way he had planned. “Afghan Suicide Bomber Kills Own Family,” from Associated Press (thanks to DFS): KABUL, Afghanistan – A mother who tried to stop her son from carrying out a suicide bomb attack triggered an explosion in the family’s home in southern Afghanistan that killed the would-be bomber, his […]
Not a dime’s worth of difference…
…between the two parties.
The Mother of All IFAW Wrap-Ups…
…is at the Washington Times’ Fishwrap, where Robert Stacy McCain has collected news from all over. A few of the don’t-miss items are: 1. Video of Umar Lee, a Muslim writer who has charged me with harboring secret racist tendencies. (His evidence? Why, I run Jihad Watch!) It looks as if maybe Umar was projecting, […]
Wrapping up IFAW at Dartmouth
Last night I ended Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week on an unexpectedly high note at Dartmouth. Even the hostile questions had less of an edge to them than they had at Brown, DePaul, and the University of Rhode Island, and the overwhelming majority of questioners were sympathetic to the perspective I was representing. I think the people […]
Yemen Frees USS Cole Bomb Plotter
No worries. He renounced terrorism! From AP (thanks to all who sent this in): (AP) Yemen has set free one of the al Qaeda masterminds of the USS Cole bombing in 2000 that killed 17 American sailors, a senior security official said Thursday. Jamal al-Badawi, who is wanted by the FBI, was convicted in 2004 […]
Jihad Watch Unblocked
I am just about on my way out of the hotel room (no Pinot Noir in mine, Greg) to Dartmouth College for my final Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week talk, but I thought I’d relay some good news I just heard from the crack legal team over at The Becker Law Firm. My lawyer, William J. Becker, […]
Fitzgerald: Temple? What Temple?
This is perfectly consonant with the Islamic worldview. The earth belongs to Allah and His Messenger Muhammad — which means, in human terms, those who are the Believers in Allah and that Messenger. Everyone else must either convert, be killed, or in some cases be permitted to live, but only in a condition of permanent […]
