But remember: this is just a nationalist struggle that has nothing to do with Islam! Kadyrov himself asserts that these jihadists have “perverted Islam,” but as ever, he doesn’t explain how. “Kadyrov: Representatives of 50 states helped Chechens in Jihad against Russia,” from Interfax, September 28 (thanks to James): Grozny, September 28, Interfax – All […]

Muslims riot, attack Jews on Temple Mount
It all started with rumors of an “invasion” by Israeli settlers. “Policemen wounded in Temple Mt. riots,” from the Jerusalem Post, September 27 : Twelve policemen and 15 rioters were wounded Sunday in riots on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and later in the Old City. Approximately 150 Muslim worshipers participated in the disturbance on […]
Black Eyed Peas go on in Malaysia — ban on Muslim attendance lifted, but Fergie had to cover up
“The controversy over the Black Eyed Peas is the latest in a series of cases that have raised fears Islamic law is on the rise in Malaysia, threatening its secular status.” No kidding, really? Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: “Black Eyed Peas perform after ban on Muslims lifted,” by Beh Lih Yi for AFP, […]
D’Souza versus D’Souza
Dinesh D’Souza, debating me at CPAC 2007 (in the video above), says this at 3:30: “For every ‘Kill the infidels’ passage in the Koran you can find a matching ‘Slay the infidels’ passage in the Old Testament.” Ever since we had that debate I have tried unsuccessfully to get Dinesh D’Souza to agree to debate […]
Thailand: Jihadists murder three Muslims
Ever wonder why genuinely peaceful Muslims don’t speak out more forthrightly against the jihadists? Here is one reason. Apparently these people were killed for not joining the jihad. (There are other reasons why peaceful Muslims don’t speak up — most notably that they know that the jihadists have the Koran and Sunnah on their side.) […]
G’mar chatimah tovah
As Yom Kippur begins, all of us here at Jihad Watch extend warmest greetings for the holy day to all Jewish Jihad Watchers.
Pakistan: All students — Muslim and non-Muslim — required to study Islam
Pakistan is, of course, an Islamic Republic, but why is it that “there is no compulsion in religion” (2:256) seems only to be invoked by Islamic apologists in the West, and never where it could actually do some good for non-Muslims in an Islamic state? Hmmm, now why might that be? Islamic Tolerance Alert from […]
“We want to change the way people perceive polygamy, so that it will be seen as something beautiful instead of something disgusting”
How nice. Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: Polygamy club invokes Muhammad’s example to convince people that having multiple wives is just dandy. Muhammad, of course, is “a good example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and remembereth Allah much” (33:21).
European Court of Human Rights condemns Turkey for human rights violations in Cyprus
More on the jihad in Cyprus here. “Cyprus: EU Court Condemns Turkey Of Human Rights Violations,” from ANSAmed, September 23 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – NICOSIA, SEPTEMBER 23 – The fourth section of the European Court of Human Rights issued yesterday its decisions on 18 cases Greek Cypriots brought against Turkey, condemning Ankara of human […]
Iran says its peaceful nuke program will “blind the eyes of the enemies”
But it will do that peacefully, I’m sure. “Iran nuclear official says IAEA can inspect new plant,” from CNN, September 27 (thanks to James): “God willing, this plant will be put into operation soon, and will blind the eyes of the enemies,” Fars reported Saturday, quoting a senior Iranian official. The senior official, Hojjatoleslam Mohammad […]
In Pakistan: Village of German jihadists, converts to Islam
The Telegraph refers to these converts as “white,” as if their race were something noteworthy. In reality, as I have stated here several billion times, the jihad is not a racial issue, despite the best efforts of the mainstream media, CAIR, and libelblogger Charles Johnson to make it into one. Anyone, of any race, can […]
Fitzgerald: The New York Times Scolds Erdogan, But Generally Remains An Ex-Ponto Pollyanna
On September 13, 2009, The Sunday New York Times carried a short editorial (“A Clear Assault on the Press”) about recent events in Turkey. It managed to scold the Erdogan government: Now Turkey has provided a particularly chilling example of another way to shut down independent voices — a fine of $2.5 billion that appears […]
Illinois jihadist was targeting Republican Congressman’s office
Why Schock? Well, he is a conservative Republican, and although I do not believe that the resistance to the global jihad and Islamic supremacism should be an issue that falls across the liberal/conservative divide, since it is a threat that could take down our nation and Western civilization as a whole, nonetheless from a practical […]
Obama On Iran: “I’m not interested in victory. I’m interested in resolving the problem.”
Then victory you shall most assuredly not have. Of course, Obama considers himself to be an enlightened sophisticate who has moved beyond the primitive warlike tendencies of bygone cultures and civilizations. He is a twenty-first century man, and he is confident that underneath it all, Khamenei is too, and isn’t any more interested in victory […]
Gaddafi cancels Canada trip over Canadian PM’s plans to express outrage over hero’s welcome for Lockerbie bomber
Can we trade Obama for Harper? Not a fair deal? Okay, how about if we throw in a President To Be Named Later? Canuck anti-dhimmitude: “Cancellation of Gadhafi trip doesn’t stop N.L. rumour mill,” by Roman Zakaluzny for the Canwest News Service, September 26 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has cancelled a […]
Iran is building secret nuke facility, Obama says it must “take actions to demonstrate its peaceful intentions”
Dreamland. Iran’s “peaceful intentions”? “Serious, meaningful dialogue”? The latter phrase sounds as if he is semaphoring that significant American concessions are in the offing if Iran will drop the nuclear plans — or pretend to do so. “Obama Says He’s Still Open to ‘Meaningful Dialogue’ With Iran,” by Edwin Chen for Bloomberg, September 26 (thanks […]
Iran test-firing missile that can reach Israel
But never fear. Obama really really wants to talk to the mullahs. “Iran stages missile war games,” by Jay Deshmukh and Hiedeh Farmani for AFP, September 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): TEHRAN — Iran test-fired three short-range missiles on Sunday as the Islamic republic began war games two days after the UN […]
After three jihad terror plots uncovered in the U.S., Obama frees three more Gitmo detainees
New York/Denver. Dallas. Springfield, Illinois. Three plots, three released detainees. No, I am not saying there is some connection, some jihad terror plot-for-detainees exchange program. I am saying that the plots show that there is a manifest jihad threat, and that Obama continues to act as if there isn’t. Release more Gitmo detainees — what […]
Incisive analysis from a genuine thoughtful critic
Yesterday I received this email from yet another Hate Mailer in London, accusing me of giving you folks a bad impression of Hate Mailers: I can only imagine the number of emails you must receive from Muslims across the world. But I don’t have to imagine, as I know, that those emails will range from […]
