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

Another honor killing in modern, moderate Jordan

Jan 29, 2010 8:46 am By Robert Spencer

In 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.” “Jordanian jailed for sister’s ‘honour killing,’” from AFP, January 29 (thanks to Maxwell): AMMAN (AFP) – A Jordanian […]

Human Rights Watch: Hamas targeted civilians

Jan 29, 2010 7:49 am By Robert Spencer

…as we reported here many, many times during the Israeli defensive action in Gaza. But will the world take note and censure Hamas as it has censured Israel? Will it recognize the magnitude and effectiveness of the propaganda offensive against Israel? Don’t hold your breath. “Human rights group: Hamas targeted civilians,” from AP, January 28 […]

Jews fleeing Sweden as Islamic antisemitism and Leftist Jew-hatred take deep root

Jan 29, 2010 7:36 am By Robert Spencer

The antisemitism is coming from Leftists and Muslims — although authorities, characteristically, blame right-wing groups. “Jews flee Malmö as anti-Semitism grows,” from The Local, January 27 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Threats and harassment are becoming increasingly commonplace for Jewish residents in Malmö in southern Sweden, leading many Jews to leave the city out of fear […]

Honor killing: “Abuses like these are not exclusive to Islam but in no other culture these days are they actually upheld by authorities citing formal tenets of justice”

Jan 29, 2010 7:09 am By Robert Spencer

And yet the denial from Islamic spokesmen in the West is all-pervasive and never challenged by the mainstream media — which only ensures that more women will be victimized. “No More Honor Killings,” by Melik Kaylan for Forbes, January 29: The news from Bangladesh is that a teenage girl was recently punished with 101 lashes […]

Osama adopts more Democrat Party talking points, blames U.S. for global warming

Jan 29, 2010 6:44 am By Robert Spencer

But with Obama working so assiduously to give him what he wants here, his rhetoric rings a bit hollow this time. “Bin Laden Blames U.S. for Global Warming in New Tape,” from AP, January 29 (thanks to Twostellas): CAIRO — Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods […]

Kashmir: Jihadis ambush Indian soldiers, killing two

Jan 29, 2010 6:30 am By Robert Spencer

“The area was sealed off and troops were hunting down the attackers but rain was hampering the operation.” Seems like it’s raining all over the world. Kashmir Jihad Update: “Muslim rebels kill 2 soldiers,” from Straits Times, January 29 (thanks to Twostellas): SRINAGAR (India) – SUSPECTED Muslim rebels ambushed army soldiers early Friday in the […]

Thailand: Jihadists set off bomb in mosque compound, open fire on Thai soldiers

Jan 29, 2010 6:03 am By Robert Spencer

No one has claimed responsibility, but there is only one group in Thailand that opens fire on Thai soldiers. Thai Jihad Update. “Bomb near mosque kills soldier in Thai south,” from Reuters, January 29 (thanks to Twostellas): PATTANI, Thailand (Reuters) – A bomb killed a soldier in the compound of a mosque in southern Thailand […]

Bahrain has no plans to close legal loophole allowing for child brides

Jan 29, 2010 5:41 am By Robert Spencer

“The government prompted a storm of controversy last year when it pushed through a law which set the minimum marriage age for girls at 15. Lawmakers from the largest opposition bloc in the Bahraini Parliament had opposed the legislation, saying it went against Islamic principles.” Now wait a minute. Islamic apologists in the West are […]

Geert Wilders: On trial for telling the truth

Jan 29, 2010 4:49 am By Robert Spencer

My friend Douglas Murray has a great piece in the Telegraph on the Wilders case: “Geert Wilders: on trial for telling the truth,” January 28: […] The Dutch courts charge that Wilders ‘on multiple occasions, at least once, (each time) in public, orally, in writing or through images, intentionally offended a group of people, i.e. […]

Somalia: Islamic supremacists ban video games

Jan 29, 2010 4:40 am By Robert Spencer

“They have basically banned everything that is fun, so we feel increasingly bored.” There Is No Fun In Islam* Alert from Somalia: “Somalia Islamist group bans video games,” by Mustafa Haji Abdinur for AFP, January 28: MOGADISHU — Somalia’s Islamist insurgents on Thursday banned video games, one of the last forms of entertainment left for […]

Iranian cleric: Hey, let’s murder some more dissidents, for God’s sake

Jan 29, 2010 4:14 am By Robert Spencer

Jannati here is making assertions about Islam that contradict the version of Islam presented in the U.S. by most prominent Muslim spokesmen. Surely Islam doesn’t “permit rulers to execute ‘hypocrites,’” does it? Surely CAIR and MPAC and all the rest are going to make their case for Islamic pluralism and Islam’s compatibility with democracy in […]

Qur’an is on trial in the Wilders case

Jan 29, 2010 4:03 am By Robert Spencer

Oriana Fallaci also compared the Qur’an to Mein Kampf, as I wrote about in a 2005 article. The Wilders case could backfire badly on the smooth Islamic supremacist thugs of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and their Dutch dhimmi puppets. They are hoping to silence criticism of Islam, and yet the trial could show […]

Iran executes two dissidents for “waging war against Allah”

Jan 28, 2010 4:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Surely opposing the oppressive regime in Iran is not really to oppose the peaceful and tolerant Allah of the Qur’an, is it? Surely moderate and peaceful Muslims in the U.S. will be eager to step forward and explain just how and why the Islamic Republic actually misunderstands Islam. Honest Ibe Hooper is probably readying a […]

Saudi Arabia: Christian migrant workers forced to convert to Islam

Jan 28, 2010 10:43 am By Marisol Seibold

Qur’an 2:256 says there is “no compulsion in religion,” and apologists often cite this verse to claim no one can be converted to Islam under duress. Claims about outright “compulsion” aside (and even then, a dhimmi must hope for well-behaved overlords), there certainly is an elaborate culture of coercion in Islamic law, with subtle and […]

Muslim leader: Muslims could be behind the pigs’ heads found in Malaysian mosques

Jan 28, 2010 7:57 am By Robert Spencer

After Malaysian Muslims firebombed several churches, Christians seemed to retaliate with a non-violent but pungently symbolic gesture, leaving pigs’ heads at two mosques. But now a Muslim leader has suggested that Muslims were also behind this — in a naked attempt to incite the local believers to a murderous rage against non-Muslims. This recalls also […]

This is gonna work: UK, others to buy off Taliban with $500 million

Gordon Brown proves himself to be a true son and heir of Aethelred the Unready. But the only problem with paying danegeld is that you never get rid of the Dane. “Taleban fighters to be ‘bought off’ with $500m,” by Sam Coates and James Bone in The Times, January 28 (thanks to Kris): Britain is […]

UK: Muslim civil servant suspended for his “kill British” blog loses libel suit — claims had “absence of reality”

Jan 28, 2010 7:37 am By Robert Spencer

Azad Ali tried to sue a British paper for drawing attention to his blog that justified the jihad killing of British and American soldiers, but there was just one catch — his claims suffered from an “absence of reality.” An update on this story. “‘Kill British’ blog man fails in MoS libel bid,” by Oliver […]

Jihadis in Somalia murder Christian leader because he converted from Islam

Jan 28, 2010 1:49 am By Robert Spencer

And now they have threatened to kill his wife. Not that there is any Islamic law calling for the murder of apostates — of course not! “Islamic Militants in Somalia Murder Christian Leader,” from CDN, January 26: NAIROBI, Kenya, January 26 (CDN) — Islamic extremists shot the leader of an underground church to death outside […]
