Egyptian soccer star’s wife accused of insulting Islam for removing veil

Feb 28, 2008 11:06 am By Robert Spencer

Not that wearing it is compulsory or anything. She is free to insult Islam, and to face the consequences for doing so. “Egypt goalie slammed for move to Swiss club; Wife accused of insulting Islam for removing veil,” from Al-Arabiya (thanks to Morgaan Sinclair): …Adding to his troubles, a picture of Hadary’s wife appearing in […]

Relax redux: Jihadists are no threat to America, and there is no clash of civilizations!

Feb 28, 2008 10:21 am By Robert Spencer

Shelves of books all about Islam, and a rifle — but don’t get the crazy idea that this has anything to do with Islam Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Relax Bulletin, the revelation that there are only 91 million admitted jihadists, comes the latest from former CIA agent Marc Sageman, who says that the […]

Politicians, businessmen, bureaucrats, pharmacists, police commander, TV journalist among Moroccan jihadists

Feb 28, 2008 9:21 am By Robert Spencer

This fact makes the LA Times scratch its venerable head in puzzlement. I mean, doesn’t everybody know that poverty causes terrorism, and only the desperate, uneducated and easily led join jihadist groups? Of course, we have documented here for years that the opposite is the case, and just yesterday Saudi pseudoacademic shill John Esposito admitted […]

UK police to learn Qur’an, Sharia

Feb 28, 2008 9:15 am By Robert Spencer

Sound strategy, or more British dhimmitude? It’s hard to tell at this point. I am all for law enforcement officials becoming well-versed in the Qur’an and Sunnah: the more they understand the motives and goals of the jihadists, the better able they will be to combat them. But if this will be just another exercise […]

Feb 28, 2008 8:56 am By Robert Spencer

Barry Rubin discusses some of the revelations of the funeral of Imad Mugniyah: A funny thing happened at the funeral of Imad Mugniyah. Those who had for years been denying any connection with him and his international terrorist activities–Iran, Syria, and Hizballah–suddenly admitted that he was one of their favorite people. At the same time, […]

UK: Muslim medics refuse to roll up their sleeves — it’s un-Islamic

Feb 28, 2008 8:23 am By Robert Spencer

The refusal of Muslim medics to wash their arms in a way that would require them to be uncovered is spreading. Here again is a clear choice: will Britain enforce British law, or kowtow to Islamic law? An update on this story. “Muslim medics refuse to roll up their sleeves in hygiene crackdown – because […]

Brace yourself: Dutch Islam film “nearly ready”

Feb 28, 2008 7:58 am By Robert Spencer

The film has been condemned in advance, sight unseen. Just for a moment of clarity, think back to the riots that greeted the work of the nineteenth-century European Biblical higher critics, or the Jesus Seminar, or the many skeptical/critical examinations of the Bible. What riots? Exactly. And ask yourself: if someone reacts to something I […]

Eurabian Court bans deportation of jihad terror suspect

Feb 28, 2008 7:48 am By Robert Spencer

He would be tortured back home, see. “Ministers argued the right of the public to be protected against terrorism should be balanced against a suspect’s rights not to be ill-treated,” but to no avail. “Court bans deportation of terror suspect,” by Clare Dyer for the Guardian (thanks to Davida): Government hopes of deporting dozens of […]

Relax! There are only 91 million jihadists!

Feb 27, 2008 1:54 pm By Robert Spencer

And that, to some minds at least, proves that this problem has nothing to do with Islam. The idea that the jihad ideology could have been deemphasized for a long period and then reasserted, as in pamphlets such as “Jihad: The Forgotten Obligation,” creating an energetic minority, a jihadist vanguard within the Islamic world, does […]

Virginia Imam aided Al-Qaeda

Feb 27, 2008 11:52 am By Robert Spencer

Looks like he got away with it, too “There is good reason to believe Anwar Aulaqi has been involved in very serious terrorist activities since leaving the United States, including plotting attacks against America and our allies.” But Aulaqi was American-born, indicating that the jihad problem, while it contains a very serious immigration component, is […]

BBC complicit in protecting jihadists?

Feb 27, 2008 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

Nasreen Suleaman…of the Beeb “I don’t think I needed to” contact police. Not even “I didn’t think I needed to.” Just “I don’t think I needed to.” “BBC knew of link to failed 21/7 bombers,” from the Telegraph (thanks to Mark): A BBC producer failed to give police information that would have helped track down […]

Turkey in radical revision of Islamic texts

Feb 27, 2008 9:58 am By Robert Spencer

Could this be what we have all been waiting for? Possibly. It will be interesting to see its content, and what reception it receives from Islamic authorities outside of Turkey. My guess would be that that reaction will be hostile, because to accept this would be to assume that Islam has gone drastically wrong almost […]

ABC pushes Islamic victimhood

Feb 27, 2008 9:07 am By Robert Spencer

The perpetrator of this hostility was an actor. The victim was an actor. The whole incident was trumped-up, rendering the significance of the reactions suspect to say the least. ABC could not, you see, count on a veiled Muslim woman encountering hostility anywhere in this U.S. — otherwise, they could have simply sent her into […]

Spencer: The Terrorist Bill of Rights: Part 2

Feb 27, 2008 8:28 am By Robert Spencer

At Human Events this morning, I discuss the rights that jihadists now appear to have guaranteed: Congress — with its endless squabbling with the Bush Administration over FISA, the equally endless torture law debates, and the relentless handwringing over Gitmo — has made its position clear: Pelosi and Co. are concerned, deeply concerned, with terrorists” […]

Pentagon Islamic law expert fired after all?

Feb 27, 2008 7:48 am By Robert Spencer

On February 5, we were informed that Stephen Coughlin, the sole expert on Islamic law in the Pentagon, was not going to be fired after all, after it looked as if he was going to be at the behest of Hesham Islam, an aide to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England. And not long after that […]

U.K.: Hospital, female Muslim medics in standoff over hygiene rules

Feb 26, 2008 11:07 am By Marisol Seibold

“Perhaps these women should not be choosing medicine as a career if they feel unable to abide by the guidelines that everyone else has to follow.” Indeed. Especially when lives and health are at risk. An update on this story. “Muslim medics in Alder Hey stand-off,” by Caroline Innes for the Liverpool Echo (thanks to […]

“And he will be, indeed, a formidable soldier for jihad: if he can slit a person’s throat at five years old, just imagine what he can do at 20”

Feb 26, 2008 10:13 am By Robert Spencer

I believe the children are the future Want to see into Europe’s future? In “Europe’s Muslim Radicals: The Next Generation” at World Defense Review, Abigail Esman comments on this story. “American kill,” said the five-year-old boy. “Bush I kill.” And as his proud father watched, beaming, he demonstrated how to cut the evil American’s bare […]

Beware of muftis bearing “interfaith” letters!

Feb 26, 2008 9:45 am By Robert Spencer

Patrick Poole, in “What the Islamic Scholars Forgot to Tell the Pope” at Pajamas Media, has uncovered even more evidence that the much-celebrated “Common Word” document from last October was not a sincere effort at interfaith outreach, but was solely designed to fool the credulous. Last October, the international media establishment was abuzz over a […]
