While all eyes are on Egypt, Hamas fires rockets into Israel

Jan 31, 2011 5:26 pm By Robert Spencer

“This could have been a mass casualty event.” “Grad rockets hit near Netivot, Ofakim,” from Ynet News, January 31 (thanks to Maxwell): Tensions in Egypt appear to be spreading to Gaza: Grad rockets fired from the Hamas-ruled territory Monday night landed near the southern Israeli cities of Ofakim and Netivot. Also Monday, a Qassam rocket […]

Denmark: Jihad plotters planned to cut throats of reporters at paper that published Muhammad cartoons

Muslim Brotherhood rejects new Mubarak government, calls for continued protests

Jan 31, 2011 1:19 pm By Robert Spencer

Making it clearer who is calling the shots. “Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood, No To New Government,” from ANSAmed, January 31 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – ROME, JANUARY 31 – Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has given its thumbs down to the new Egyptian government and has called on people to continue demonstrating until the present regime falls.

See the Pyramids along the Nile — while you can

Jan 31, 2011 12:50 pm By Robert Spencer

Instead of the usual bushel of hate mail and death threats, today’s mail bag brought the above flier, offering some perfectly-timed vacation adventures. While “Turkey’s Magical Hideaways” sound mighty tempting (See the sites where your people were murdered and from which they were exiled!), I have to opt for “Cairo & the Eternal Nile River,” […]

Muslim Brotherhood leader: Prepare for war with Israel

Jan 31, 2011 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember that Obama went out of his way to invite Muslim Brotherhood representatives to his speech in Cairo in June 2009. So it is unlikely that he even sees the need to stand up to them. “Muslim Brotherhood Wants War With Israel,” from Forex Crunch, January 31 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Mohamed Ghanem, one of […]

Shocker: Muslim Brotherhood “mutes its religious message” during protests

Jan 31, 2011 10:20 am By Marisol Seibold

Something to hide? Yes, for now. The appearance of moderation is a means to an end. After all, “war is deceit.” More on this story. “Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood mutes its religious message for protests,” by Jeffrey Fleishman for the Los Angeles Times, January 31: The medical students marched and sweated in protest. “The fear is […]

“We don’t want to harm this revolution”: Muslim Brotherhood says it will not take a leadership role in Egypt opposition coalition

Jan 31, 2011 7:02 am By Robert Spencer

Protesters at prayer in Cairo today The Islamic supremacists didn’t initially take a leadership role in the Iranian revolution of 1979, either. “Egypt’s opposition calls for 1 million on streets,” by Maggie Michael and Hamza Hendawi for the Associated Press, January 31: […] In Cairo, the coalition of groups, dominated by youth movements but including […]

Egypt: Christians fear Muslim Brotherhood takeover, Coptic Pope forbids Christians to participate in demonstrations

Jan 31, 2011 6:42 am By Robert Spencer

This report says that Coptic Christians are defying Pope Shenouda and participating in demonstrations; on the other hand, however, a source on the ground in Egypt tells me that the news reports are wrong, and that Copts are not participating. Whatever may be the truth of the matter, it is certain that a Muslim Brotherhood […]

ElBaradei: Muslim Brotherhood like U.S. evangelicals and orthodox Jews in Jerusalem

Jan 31, 2011 6:19 am By Robert Spencer

Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. — motto of the Muslim Brotherhood The Muslim Brothers “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the […]

Tunisia: Supporters of “Islamist” leader assault opponents

Jan 31, 2011 6:01 am By Robert Spencer

I put “Islamist” in quotation marks because Ghannouchi has reportedly stated his opposition to the imposition of Sharia in Tunisia, or at least has appeared to do so. How an advocate for political Islam can oppose Sharia is unclear. In any case, there are no heroes in this story: one of those who were attacked […]

Spencer: Muslim Brotherhood Poised for Power in Egypt

Jan 31, 2011 5:51 am By Robert Spencer

In a featured article at Human Events this morning, I discuss the Muslim Brotherhood’s press for power in Egypt and its implications for the U.S.: A group dedicated to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” is poised to take power in Egypt. After days of riots in Egypt against Hosni Mubarak’s regime, on Sunday […]

Protest NYC Ground Zero mosque hypocrisy on February 3

Jan 31, 2011 5:49 am By Robert Spencer

The contrast is noteworthy: recently, after local protests over its proximity to the battleground of the Civil War Battle of the Wilderness, Wal-Mart abandoned plans to build a new store in the Orange, Virginia area. Pamela Geller has the details here, and comments: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has abandoned plans to build a store near a […]

Zayed-Spencer debate, reposted by popular demand

Jan 31, 2011 5:40 am By Robert Spencer

Last Friday night I debated the imam Moustafa Zayed on ABN TV. Zayed is the author of a book that he claims is a refutation of my book The Truth About Muhammad. His is entertainingly entitled The Lies About Muhammad — and his book is indeed full of lies about Muhammad. The topic we debated […]

“People picture Muslims with a Quran in one hand and a sword in the other”

Jan 31, 2011 5:29 am By Robert Spencer

This was just another story about just another interfaith gathering in which just another imam explains that terrorism and violence have nothing to do with Islam, and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise: “Faith symposium promotes peace: Religious leaders meet to discuss building bridges to understanding,” by Bryan Fitzgerald for the Times Union, January 31.

Egypt: Member of “Army of Islam,” escaped from prison, says his armed resistance against Israel will continue

Jan 31, 2011 4:44 am By Robert Spencer

A member of the Army of Islam, jailed in Egypt for plotting a jihad terror attack against Israel, escapes in the recent chaos. In this clip from Al-Jazeera, which is yet more indication of how jihadists are positioned to exploit the democracy agitation in Egypt, he tells his story.

Spencer: The Middle East’s Intifada

Jan 31, 2011 1:02 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage this morning I discuss the Islamic supremacist character of the democracy protests: Now that the Muslim Brotherhood has begun talks with opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei to form a national unity government after the fall of Mubarak, which apparently all concerned expect to be imminent, the character of the Egyptian revolution has become clearer.

Third Post

Jan 30, 2011 11:49 am By J!h@dM@ster

An “Islamist” is generally a proponent of political Islam. I generally tend not to use the word, because many draw a distinction between “Islamic” and “Islamist,” implying (and sometimes asserting outright) that political Islam is a twisting and hijacking of the original, presumably non-political, non-supremacist Islamic religion. Since that is a false distinction, I shy […]

Muslim Brotherhood, ElBaradei in talks to form post-Mubarak govt in Egypt

Jan 30, 2011 11:44 am By Robert Spencer

Such a government would be the first step toward an Islamic state in Egypt. “Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood eyes unity gov’t without Mubarak,” from Haaretz, January 30 (thanks to Benedict): The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest opposition group,is [sic] in talks with other anti-government figures to form a national unity government without President Hosni Mubarak, a group […]
