“I always knew my man Nouri would carry my water for me” The Iraqi Democracy Project, which I thought was doomed even before it started, was always liable to create a Shi’ite client state for the benefit of Iran, since the Shi’ites have the numbers on their side in Iraq. The whole thing was predicated […]

This is to be expected considering that “many of Somalia’s Christians have come to the faith from Islam, so they’re Muslim-background believers,” also known as apostates, such as this Somali man who was beheaded for converting to Christianity. “Somalia – land of pirates, land of persecution,” by Allie Martin for One News Now, April 20: […]

Probably led by those many al-Qaeda members Yemen recently released. “Saudi Officials’ Fears: Al-Qaeda Planning to Attack Saudi Arabia from Yemen,” by Sahar Al-Sharjabi for the Yemen Post, April 26 : A British newspaper quoted General Mansoor Al-Turki, the spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of Interior, as speaking about his fears regarding Al-Qaeda.

In other words, stop it with the demands to root out Talibani terrorism, and just pay up already. “Stop lecturing, help us, Pakistan tells West,” from Times of India, April 26: NEW YORK: Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani has urged the international community to help Pakistan in its efforts to prevent the Talibanisation […]

To which a Pakistani minister asserts, “The Taliban have exposed their real face by killing innocent children.” His point, apparently, is that by killing children, the Taliban have proven that they are behaving un-Islamicly: after all, did the prophet himself not say that women and children should not be killed (only enslaved)? Yet, when jihadis […]

For years many people have pointed out that most music is contrary to traditional Islamic law. For this they have been called “Islamophobic.” The Taliban must be Islamophobic as well. Here is a glimpse into the West’s future if it continues to accommodate Sharia: “Taliban shave men for listening to music,” from Agence France-Presse, April […]

It seems that he was recruited via grievance-mongering, the likes of which jihadists employ frequently and in multiple contexts. But when he got to Kashmir, he didn’t see any oppression, and thus decided there was no need for jihad. This is predicated upon some core theological assumptions. If a Muslim land is attacked, defensive jihad […]

Tedious, yes, but necessary. Jihad news will resume shortly; those who don’t want to read this, pleas skip it rather than writing to tell me not to post it. I am not going to let this man’s reckless smears go unanswered. The Internet is such, and his waning influence is still such, that they could […]

The jihad against the education of girls continues. –The children had found the bomb outside a girls’ primary school in Luqman Banda village of Lower Dir town.” “Children killed in Pakistan bomb blast,” from AFP, April 25 (thanks to James): At least four children have been killed in a bomb explosion in north-west Pakistan, officials […]

Islam is the most democratic religion, says Albright. Yet in 1400 years of Islamic history, there has only been one democracy: Turkey. Albright says that Turkey is a “perfect example” of how Islam is democratic. But let’s look at the record. In the aftermath of World War I, Mustafa Kemal, who called himself Ataturk, or […]

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29 […]

Veering toward civil war in Copenhagen. Pamela has video, plus two illuminating interviews with the head of the International Free Press Society, Lars Hedegaard, about the deteriorating situation in Denmark. And AFP in this article continues, not unexpectedly, to frame this issue in racial terms. Yet non-white non-Muslims have settled into Europe with little or […]

Pakistanis are shocked — shocked! — by this footage, but as ever, few will follow through to the conclusion that sharia is the problem. We’re told time and again, where sharia has motivated a savage act that makes global headlines, that the tenets of the law have been misunderstood, improperly implemented, or suffused with cultural […]

Yet when confronted by the police, mom and dad initially denied being Muslim in the first place — a classic case of taqiyya, according to Koran 16:106: “Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith – but such as open their breast to Unbelief, […]

Of course! Really, who else could have pulled these attacks off besides the Zionists and their Crusader henchmen? “Khamenei: US, Israel behind Iraq attacks,” from Al-Bawaba, April 25 (thanks to Sr. Soph): Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday issued a message expressing his condolences to the Iranian nation on the terrorist operations in Iraq […]

Twelve Pakistani “students” plot to terrorize Britain; the latter arrests and then releases them but admonishes Pakistan; and the latter — which poses a “mortal threat” to the world — is “shocked,” just “shocked.” “More on this story. “Pakistan anger at UK terror ‘slurs’,” by Vikram Dodd for the Guardian, April 25 : Britain was […]

“Be careful what you sow,” admonishes Hillary.Yet how is the U.S. responsible for the more important fact that 75% of the Pakistani people are eager to implement sharia — a move which, among other things, would lead to a perpetual state of hostilities between Pakistan (“land of the pure”) and the U.S. (infidels)? Either way, […]

To which the U.N. notes, “No cause or grievance can justify such reprehensible acts.” More on this story. “Female suicide attackers kill 58 near Baghdad shrine,” by Salam Faraj for AFP, April 24: BAGHDAD (AFP) — Two female suicide bombers struck a major Shiite shrine in Baghdad, killing at least 58 people amid a brutal […]

The Obama Administration seems to be playing a double game of its own: reaching out to jihadists in Iran and Afghanistan, while being ready to stop them in Pakistan. “Does Pakistan’s Taliban Surge Raise a Nuclear Threat?,” by Mark Thompson for Time, April 24 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): ……The prospect of turmoil in Pakistan sends […]

“The proposal would have denied nonprofit tax status and prohibited grants to groups in Minnesota that help alleged terrorists or pirates.” Sounds like a good idea to me. “Minn. Won’t Penalize Group in Somali Piracy Case,” from AP, April 24 (thanks to Block Ness): […] House Minority Leader Marty Seifert was aiming his proposal at […]
