Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UAE: Pakistani man beats wife to death for “disobedience”

Jan 31, 2010 1:30 pm By Marisol Seibold

There can be no truly frank and forthright discussion about domestic violence in Islamic societies without acknowledging the role of Qur’an 4:34: “Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women […]

Jihadists plan attack with bombs inside their bodies, to foil new airport scanners

Jan 31, 2010 5:29 am By Robert Spencer

As I wrote here in December: “One thing we have seen over the years since 9/11 is that airport security is always one step behind the jihadists: after jihadist Richard Reid attempted to set off a bomb hidden in his shoes, we all have to take off our shoes and send them through security scanners. […]

U.S. pledges $11 million toward jihadist rehab in Yemen

Jan 31, 2010 1:01 am By Marisol Seibold

What could possibly go wrong? Oh, yeah. Jihadists go through the motions and resume the jihad. That’s all. “Indonesia tries rehabilitation to wipe out extremism,” by Anuj Chopra for The National, January 30: JAKARTA // Imagine, for a moment, a possible headline in the future: “Osama bin Laden denounces terrorism and renounces jihad.” What are […]

France: Prime minister asks for study of possible laws against burqa

Jan 31, 2010 12:03 am By Marisol Seibold

But… “Fillon’s letter stressed the need for a consensus and that it was important not to hurt the feelings of Muslims.” Somewhat mixed signals, in an update on this story. What if standing up for Western values like equality and an open society hurts feelings? “French PM asks government body to study burqa law,” from […]

Russia: $1.8 billion in arms to Libya

Jan 30, 2010 6:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Against whom will Libya use these weapons? And to what end? Russia continues its short-sighted aid for states that are now enabling or abetting jihad activity, or that are likely to do so if events keep moving in the direction they’re moving in now. “Libya strikes arm deal with Russia,” from Al-Jazeera, January 31 (thanks […]

Jihad groups set up camp in Haiti

Jan 30, 2010 9:02 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic Relief USA and the Islamic Circle of North America, both groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within,” are operating in Haiti — ostensibly working in relief efforts, but no doubt doing a good bit of dawah on the side. Creeping […]

The Fallaci is back!

Jan 30, 2010 8:12 am By Robert Spencer

Before libelblogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs betrayed all his principles, friends and allies, he had held voting for The Fallaci. The Fallaci was an award given to a stalwart warrior for human rights against the global jihad, and was named for my dear and much-missed friend, the magnificent freedom fighter Oriana Fallaci, to […]

Secy of State Clinton promises not to talk to the Taliban’s “really bad guys”

Jan 30, 2010 7:56 am By Robert Spencer

The adolescent terminology is embarrassing, and even worse, it stems from a determination not to use the word “enemy.” Enlightened post-modern Westerners don’t have enemies, no matter how determined their actual enemies are to destroy them. Worst of all, Clinton offers no way, and has no way, to distinguish the “really bad guys” from the […]

Interpreter shoots dead two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan

Jan 30, 2010 7:41 am By Robert Spencer

As I have pointed out many, many times, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a potentially violent jihadist. It isn’t as if there is one sect of Islam that has renounced and rejected violent jihad and Islamic supremacism, and another that upholds such things. If that were the case, one […]

Jan 30, 2010 6:30 am By Robert Spencer

Obama drops plan for Al-Qaeda propaganda offensive in NYC, looks for other places to hold 9/11 trial

Jan 30, 2010 6:22 am By Robert Spencer

Under pressure from the Mayor of New York, not because of some newly discovered concern for the American people and a desire not to give a propaganda platform to America’s enemies. “Trial for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed won’t happen in New York City, says official,” by Kenneth R. Bazinet, Wil Cruz and Samuel Goldsmith […]

Rudyard Kipling’s Ode to Gordon Brown

Jan 30, 2010 6:17 am By Robert Spencer

Courtesy Jihad Watch reader Marilyn: It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation, To puff and look important and to say: “Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you. We will therefore pay you cash to go away.” And that is called paying the Dane-geld; […]
