As Ibn Taymiyya demonstrated some 700 years past, “Defensive warfare is the most critical form of warfare, [since we are] warding off an invader from [our] sanctities and religion. It is a unanimously accepted duty. After belief, there is no greater duty than to repulse the invading enemy who corrupts faith and the world. There […]

“Oh Allah, direct your forces against America…”
This video is also being sent around on Muslim email lists in the United States today. Kufr is unbelief. Fasad is mischief or corruption, for which the Qur’an prescribes penalties: “The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, […]
Leftists, Muslim American Society at rally calling for destruction of Israel

Muslims in American mosques praying for destruction of Israel
I am getting reports from sources inside American mosques that the dua qunoot — a prayer for the destruction of Allah’s enemies — is being added to the regular prayers in American mosques. The prayer, which concludes, “Undoubtedly, your torment is going to overtake infidels,” is being added to every raka’ah, or unit of Islamic […]
Israel tries to minimize civilian casualties, Hamas tries to maximize them
Israel targets an apartment building where weapons are being stored. The Israelis warn people to leave. Hamas tries to get people to stay and act as human shields — and if they had succeeded in this, of course, they would have trumpeted to the world the deaths of more innocents at the hands of the […]

Iranian newspaper shut down for article sympathetic to Israel
“Free speech? Sure! You’re free to agree with me!” You have to lie about Israel’s “crimes” in Gaza, or you can’t publish in Iran. Here is a glimpse of the model of free speech that is rapidly coming to the West: “Iranian newspaper closed for pulishing [sic] article that was sympathetic to Israel,” from Reuters, […]
“Death to all juice”: Calling for genocide with plausible deniability?
When I posted this picture Monday of a Muslim in New York holding a sign saying, “Death to All Juice,” a lot of people took it as the comical error of an illiterate. Jihad Watch commenter Urban Infidel knew better, and wrote this: The sign is funny, but he’s not kidding. It’s not the work […]
Belgium: Muslim riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed
Eurabians inspired by the Messiah “How do you protest violence [allegedly] against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, of course.” More jihad and Jew-hatred in Europe. “Antwerp: Arab riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed,” from Islam In Europe, December 31 (thanks to Rudi): How do you protest violence against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, […]
Jihad in the land of the Motoons: Muslims fire upon Israelis in Denmark mall
Proportionate response Eurabia Alert. By striking at Jews in Denmark, Islamic jihadists hit two of their prime enemies at once: the wicked and ubiquitous Zionists, and the country that published the dreaded Motoons. “Two Israelis attacked in Denmark mall,” from the Jerusalem Post, December 31 (thanks to Kathy Shaidle and Kevin): Two Israelis were lightly […]
Israel’s action in Gaza: disproportionate? No
The always insightful and informative Andrew McCarthy explains why at The Corner: I have an article coming soon which calls (among other things) for a complete reappraisal of what “international law” means in the context of the ongoing conflict. I argue that there is no international law of warfare because Israel, like the U.S., has […]
Iranian jihadists attack Benetton: it’s “linked with the Zionist network”
United colors Owned by a “Zionist millionaire.” “Iran: Italian fashion store attacked by protesters,” from AKI, December 31 (thanks to Insubria): Tehran, 31 Dec. (AKI) – A branch of the Italian clothing retailer Benetton was set on fire in Iran amid angry protests against the Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip, media reports said on […]
Iran: “Volunteer student suicide groups … are determined to go to Gaza”
Headband: “Martyrdom” — which can be attained via mass murder Back when I was in school, we had volunteer service groups — you know, to clean up the school grounds, take care of handicapped students, etc. In Iran, volunteer student groups are a bit different. They’re hoping to gain Paradise by murdering Israeli civilians: “Allah […]

Zarar Shah is not quite as good Zarar Shah sings your jihadi favorites! “Pakistani investigators find Mumbai link – paper,” from Reuters, December 31 (thanks to JE): PAKISTANI investigators have unearthed substantive links between the gunmen who attacked Mumbai in November and a banned Pakistani Islamist militant group. Ten gunmen killed 179 people in the […]
Genocidal hatred from pro-Hamas demonstrators — in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
“Nuke, nuke Israel.” Chilling video from Tom Trento of WatchObsession.org. Pamela has more video and photos, just as chilling.
Somali jihadists: “We will not stop fighting even if the Ethiopian troops withdraw because our aim is to implement Islamic law across Somalia”
“The presence of the Ethiopian troops, whom many Somalis see as occupiers in their land…” Occupiers. And yet they will not stop fighting when the “occupation” is over. They will keep fighting until Islamic law is implemented. That, of course, is exactly the same situation with Israel and the jihad groups that threaten it, but […]
Russia: Church bells offend Muslims
Dhimmis are forbidden bells: “Such non-Muslim subjects [of the Islamic state] are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they…are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or […]
A bad year for religious freedom in Indonesia
Islamic Tolerance Alert: The Indonesian year-in-review. “Religious Freedom Curtailed as Government Bows to Pressure,” by Muninggar Sri Saraswati for the Jakarta Post, December 31: Religious freedom in Indonesia took a few steps back in 2008 as the government buckled under pressure from both mainstream and minority hard-line Muslim groups, to the detriment of minority organizations.

Turkey: Italian priest’s attacker gets four years in prison
Stabbed for being a priest If a Christian had attacked and stabbed a Muslim in Turkey, would he too get four years, or would he be executed? This story also reminds that “moderate” Turkey’s “small Christian community has been targeted in a spate of attacks over several years, prompting concern among human rights groups and […]
Iran: Students (i.e., “Muslim youth”) raid British Embassy
Trying to emulate their “righteous forebears” of 1979 at the US embassy? Surely Khomeini would be proud. Even though “Britain has called for an urgent ceasefire,” that’s not good enough. Nothing will ever be good enough — not allowing sharia courts to operate in Britain, nor financially supporting Hamas. The more you concede, the more […]
