They want to “avoid any untoward incidence” — i.e., Muslims going mad and murdering innocent people because of something this priest said. And so we see once again that terrorism and violent intimidation work, which will only ensure that we will see much more of both. “Insult On Islam: Government Will Not Keep Quiet – […]

Bat Ye’or: OIC and the Modern Caliphate
In “OIC and the Modern Caliphate” in the American Thinker, September 26 (thanks to Pamela Geller), the world’s leading scholar of Islamic antisemitism, dhimmitude, and the Islamization of Europe, Bat Ye’or, exposes the Organization of the Islamic Conference: The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is a religious and political organization. Close to the Muslim […]
Fox guarding henhouse: Pakistan becomes chair of IAEA board
The home of the Islamic bomb is now chair of the “U.N. nuclear watchdog’s governing body.” “Nuclear-armed Pakistan becomes chair of IAEA board,” from Reuters, September 27 (thanks to Sr. Soph): Vienna: Pakistan became the new chair of the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s governing body on Monday, despite being outside a global anti-nuclear arms pact and […]
Iran: Tehran and Baghdad jointly planned attack on “Kurd rebels”
I’ve been predicting this since at least 2006: June 27, 2006: “Of course, Ahmadinejad may be jumping the gun a bit as far as that is concerned, but he is certainly doing all he can to bring into being a Shi’ite client state in Iraq.” September 13, 2006: “Here we see looming in Iraq the […]
OIC wants UN to develop a “legally binding institutional instrument” to muzzle free speech about Islam and jihad
The Organization of the Islamic Conference continues to pretend that it is Western non-Muslims, not Islamic jihadists, who are responsible for the link between Islam and terrorist violence, and are hoping by means of laws against “incitement to religious hatred,” which are of course to be interpreted and applied by them, to render us mute […]
Coptic pope apologizes for bishop’s questioning of Qur’anic verses
Pope Shenouda III is in a no-win situation. In a Muslim-dominated country, members of his flock may be murdered over the bishop’s questioning the veracity of the Qur’an. It is his natural right to do so, but one that is suppressed and denied under Islamic domination. And they may end up dying anyway, at the […]
Iran’s Defense Minister misunderstands Islam, says Israel’s destruction is foretold in Qur’an
Can Feisal Abdul Rauf or Honest Ibe Hooper or some other vaunted “moderate” straighten this guy out about the Religion of Peaceâ„¢? But how did such a spectacular Misunderstander of Islam come to occupy such a high position in the Islamic Republic? Shouldn’t that bring cognitive dissonance by the flotilla-load to those who believe that […]
Muslims demand apology for New Zealand PM’s stoning joke, but where is the indignation about the real thing?
If only they would express that same indignation about actual stonings that have taken place or are pending in the Islamic world. Like this one, where you can see the practice Muhammad participated in and endorsed on full display. Or the sentence hanging over the head of Sakineh Ashtiani in Iran. Or the fate endured […]
“Activists” set sail for Gaza from Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus
Will these Jewish “activists” be chanting the Islamic jihad battle-cry, “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return,” the way the “activists” on the last flotilla were doing? “Activists set sail for Gaza from Cyprus,” by Menelaos Hadjicostis for Associated Press, September 26 (thanks to JCB): FAMAGUSTA, Cyprus – A boat carrying Jewish […]
Wall Street Journal’s Orwellian coverage of Islamic jihad
Jihad Watch reader Bob has noticed an interesting phenomenon. He has found it in the Wall Street Journal, but it can also be found in all mainstream media outlets: It appears that the WSJ has started a campaign to re-write history. Now, when a story concerns Muslim terrorists, it never mentions they are Muslim, as […]
Top UK supermarkets secretly sell only halal meat
Dhimmitude on the sly. Eurabia Update: “Top supermarkets secretly sell halal: Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waitrose, and M&S don’t tell us meat is ritually slaughtered,” by Abul Taher in the Daily Mail, September 25 (thanks to Stefcho): Britain’s biggest supermarket chains are selling halal lamb and chicken without telling unsuspecting shoppers. Those stocking meat slaughtered according to […]
OIC’s Ihsanoglu: “Islamophobia is growing and becoming more rampant and dangerous by the day”
It is not at all established that “Islamophobia” really is growing, but in any case, if it is, it is because of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood jihadist; Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas underwear jihadist; Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square jihadist; Khaled Sheikh Mohammed and Osama bin Laden on 9/11; the London jihad bombers of […]
Surprise, surprise: Pakistan acquits Danish embassy jihad bombing suspects
This couldn’t have anything to do with sympathy for the jihad of these men at high levels in Pakistan, now, could it? Naaaah. Unthinkable! “Pakistan Danish embassy bombing suspects acquitted,” from Reuters, September 25 (thanks to Mukund): A Pakistani court acquitted on Saturday three men accused of involvement in a 2008 suicide car-bomb attack on […]
8,080 computers, worth $1.8 million, paid for by American taxpayers, go missing in Iraq
I’ve often noted the futility of such gift-giving. Attempts to win hearts and minds do not address the Islamic underpinnings of the hatred and contempt so many Muslims feel for America; a free laptop isn’t going to change that. “U.S. Gift for Iraqis Offers a Primer on Corruption,” by Steven Lee Myers in the New […]
Pakistani Islamic supremacist warns that 86-year sentence for jihadist Aafia Siddiqui will intensify hatred of U.S. in Islamic world
Why? I thought that the jihadists were just a Tiny Minority of Extremists. But anyway, the idea that defending ourselves against jihadists will intensify anger against us in the Islamic world shows the hollowness of any argument predicated on the idea that we should change our behavior in any way so as to appease Muslim […]
Business as usual: Australian jihad suspect blames informant
We see this claim routinely made wherever an informant is involved in uncovering a jihadist plot. The informant, so it goes, enticed them into participating in jihad, echoing the standard elementary-school defense and classic abdication of responsibility: “but he made me do it!” And it is, indeed, a flimsy argument. Are we to believe at […]
Swedish police arrest “Canadian man” after plane bomb threat
UPDATE: More recent reports indicate the bomb threat may have been a hoax, and an unfortunate waste of the time and resources of law enforcement. The points about the nature of the reporting, however, still hold: A man. A Canadian man. A Canadian citizen around the age of 30. Of Pakistani origin. Those four things […]
White House kills al-Awlaki’s father’s lawsuit, saying it would reveal state secrets
The ACLU is not pleased, but Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller says rightly: “It strains credulity to argue that our laws require the government to disclose to an active, operational terrorist any information about how, when and where we fight terrorism.” Now if only they would speak honestly about what is the cause, motivation, and […]
Taliban blow up two more girls’ schools in Pakistan
The total number of schools that the Taliban has bombed is now approaching 1,000. And despite the singularity of this barbarity, there are still many in the U.S. who dare to label the political opposition, which has never bombed any school or anything else, or even the anti-jihad movement, which is working in defense of […]
Video surfaces of Taliban stoning woman in northwest Pakistan
WARNING: The video above is graphic, and beyond disturbing. It is footage of a woman dying under a barrage of stones. But it must be exposed: This is Sharia. This is an act Muhammad approved of and participated in, according to canonical Islamic sources including Sahih (“sound,” “reliable”) Bukhari. This is Islam’s “justice,” “compassion,” and […]
