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

Baghdad church attack: Jihadists “came into the prayer hall and immediately killed the priest” when gov’t forces stormed building

Oct 31, 2010 9:40 pm By Marisol Seibold

Again: Contrasting ideals of martyrdom on stark display, as several attackers subsequently detonated suicide vests. Those ideals have clear and far-reaching implications for the character of their respective cultures, societies, and civilizations, where giving one’s life for what is believed to be a noble cause is a supreme form of sacrifice and personal attainment. Many […]

At least seven Iraqi Christians dead as al-Qaeda takes hostages in Baghdad church, demands release of prisoners

Oct 31, 2010 4:41 pm By Marisol Seibold

In Islamic law, blood money, or diyya is less for non-Muslims than for Muslim lives. It is just one such indication of how, under Sharia, infidel blood is cheap. “At least 7 hostages killed in rescue from Iraq church,” by Waleed Ibrahim and Muhanad Mohammed for Reuters, October 31: BAGHDAD (Reuters) – At least seven […]

What could possibly go wrong? Yemen frees bomb suspect on condition that she appears when summoned for questioning

Oct 31, 2010 12:01 pm By Marisol Seibold

“Yemen is like a bus station — we stop some terrorists, and we send others on to fight elsewhere … We appease our partners in the West, but we are not really helping.” – Yemeni political analyst Murad Abdul Wahed Zafir, 2008. This, once again, shows Yemen’s lack of seriousness or a sense of urgency […]

Synagogue-bound bomb flew on two passenger flights in Mideast before it was stopped in Dubai

Oct 31, 2010 9:18 am By Marisol Seibold

What if something had gone wrong? We know the bombs were powerful enough to bring down a plane. There would have been outrage at Muslim casualties, and the sense in the Mideast that something must be done about such slaughter. Maybe even Yemen would show some sense of urgency. And heaven knows, someone would find […]

Iran once again up for a seat in UN women’s rights organization

Oct 31, 2010 8:50 am By Marisol Seibold

It’s absurd enough that this would happen once, but it’s not the first time. And Saudi Arabia is up for a supporting role. When apologists for Islam defend Sharia’s deplorable record on women’s rights and human rights in general, they often cite marginal improvements that Islamic law may have introduced in the seventh century and […]

Website of Chicago synagogue targeted in UPS bomb plot visited from Egypt 83 times in one day

Oct 31, 2010 5:40 am By Robert Spencer

The planning for this jihad attack evidently involved more than just a few people in Yemen. “Chicago Synagogue Cites Web Visits From Egypt,” by Lauren Etter for the Wall Street Journal, October 30 (thanks to Choi): A rabbi at one of the synagogues allegedly targeted by explosive-laden packages from Yemen said that the group’s website […]

Stewart-Colbert “sanity” rally features Yusuf Islam, who called for the murder of Salman Rushdie

Oct 31, 2010 5:13 am By Robert Spencer

Osbourne and Yusuf Islam: Take off that cross, you uppity kaffir This is an example of the Leftist/Jihadist Alliance, or perhaps of the cluelessness of the Left, or perhaps of its indifference to the freedom of speech that Islamic supremacists wish so ardently to extinguish. Take your pick. “Stewart-Colbert ‘sanity’ rally draws thousands,” by Hope […]

Medical student, daughter of a petroleum engineer, arrested in Yemen in Chicago synagogue jihad plot

Oct 30, 2010 10:56 pm By Robert Spencer

A medical student. See? Poverty causes terrorism! “Bomb was designed to explode on cargo plane – UK PM,” from the BBC, October 30 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Prime Minister David Cameron says the device in a package sent from Yemen and found on a US-bound cargo plane was designed to go off on the aircraft.

Bomb sent from Yemen to synagogues in Chicago powerful enough to bring down plane

Oct 30, 2010 9:56 am By Robert Spencer

Feel the love. “US-bound bomb could have brought down plane,” from AP, October 30: A bomb found on a U.S.-bound cargo plane was powerful enough to bring down an aircraft, British authorities said today, as forces in Yemen searched for suspected al Qaeda militants behind a plot to bomb Jewish targets in Chicago. “I can […]

Bill Maher: “I don’t have to apologize, do I, for not wanting the Western world to be taken over by Islam?”

Oct 30, 2010 9:50 am By Robert Spencer

Sometimes Maher shows a glimmer of common sense. No, Bill, you shouldn’t have to apologize, but you may be made to anyway. (Video thanks to Weasel Zippers.)

Turkish army chiefs boycott ceremony where president’s wife wore hijab

Oct 30, 2010 8:43 am By Robert Spencer

Turkish secularism steadily eroding away. “Turkish army chiefs boycott ceremony over Islamic headscarf,” from AFP, October 30: ANKARA — Turkish army chiefs boycotted an official ceremony at the presidential palace because the president’s wife wore an Islamic headscarf, the press reported Saturday. The army’s top brass were conspicuous by their absence late Friday at a […]

Pierre Rehov: Suicide Killing — Proliferation

Oct 30, 2010 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

A new film is coming from the great Pierre Rehov: SUICIDE KILLING – PROLIFERATION Billions have been invested by Saudi Arabia in US universities in the last years. At the same time, our western values have been eroded by moral relativism. This leads an entire generation to believe in new mythologies such as: a genocide […]

Max Boot in Commentary: American victims of Al-Qaeda and Taliban are “shaheeds”

Oct 30, 2010 8:14 am By Robert Spencer

Max Boot’s words here in the reliably dhimmi and consistently wrongheaded Commentary illustrate the problem with the enterprises in Iraq and Afghanistan in general: the analysts who pushed for American military action in both had no idea of the nature of Islam, and particularly of the central role of Sharia as a political system within […]

“My brothers of the revolution of Islam, I am with you as long as you keep struggling. Trust me, there are many brothers and sisters in America that are ready to speak up. They just need a push.”

Oct 30, 2010 7:40 am By Robert Spencer

Here is yet another example of how the Muslims who are supposed to have twisted and hijacked the peaceful teachings of Islam self-consciously use Islamic terms and language to explain and justify their actions — and only such terms and language. In other words, the ones who are supposed to have gotten Islam all wrong […]

UK jihadist: Muslims “may say one thing to you in front of CNN,” but behind your backs they support jihad

Oct 30, 2010 6:46 am By Robert Spencer

Anjem Choudary must be some kind of Islamophobe: “This is something, you know, the Muslims around the world, I don’t think would differ with. They may say one thing to you in front of CNN. But I can assure you behind your backs, in every masjid and every community center, they are standing with their […]

Islamic supremacist Reza Aslan calls on U.S. to negotiate with jihad terrorists of Hamas

Oct 30, 2010 6:26 am By Robert Spencer

Mask starting to slip Islamic supremacist pseudo-moderate Reza Aslan is a clown, and the only proper response to clowns is laughter, but if any of the multitudes of useful idiots and dupes in Washington heed his advice, it could be lethal: he is also a Board member of a group that is widely regarded as […]

Raymond Ibrahim on offensive jihad, the ultimate problem between Islam and the non-Muslim world

Oct 30, 2010 6:08 am By Robert Spencer

In “Offensive Jihad: The One Incontrovertible Problem with Islam” in Pajamas Media (via RaymondIbrahim.com), October 28, our friend Raymond Ibrahim discusses an Islamic doctrine that Islamic spokesmen in the West hardly ever seem to get around to mentioning: […] Worse, offensive jihad is part and parcel of Islam; it is no less codified than, say, […]
