Embarrassed by his statements, Ground Zero Mosque organizers distance themselves from their new imam

Jan 30, 2011 11:15 am By Robert Spencer

They just finished distancing themselves from Rauf after he was exposed as anything but “moderate.” That’s why they brought in Adhami in the first place. And now they “sought yesterday to distance themselves from Adhami’s comments and backpedal on his role in the $100 million project.” Who will be next? Will the thuggish and shady […]

Al-Qaeda claims secret anti-Sunni agreement between U.S. and Iran

Jan 30, 2011 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

By insisting on the one-person-one-vote in Iraq, the U.S. unwittingly aided the ascendancy of the Shi’ites, who constitute a majority of the Iraqi population. In doing so, the U.S. helped create what Iran is working hard to turn into a Shi’ite client state of the Islamic Republic. Nonetheless, that was presumably the result not of […]

Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas collaborating, seeking to increase their roles in Egypt

Jan 30, 2011 10:50 am By Robert Spencer

No surprise here. After all, Hamas identifies itself in its charter as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. “Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas seek to increase role in Egypt : Stratfor,” from International Business Times, January 29 (thanks to Mackie): The Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are collaborating and seeking to increase their roles in Egypt…. The Muslim […]

Tunisia: Thousands greet return of “Islamist” leader

Jan 30, 2011 10:34 am By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Top Iranian pol on uprisings: “In my opinion, the Islamic Republic of Iran should see these events without exception in a positive light”

Jan 30, 2011 8:02 am By Robert Spencer

Larijani sees an opening for Islamic rule. “Iran Sees Rise of Islamic Hard-Liners,” by William Yong in the New York Times, January 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): TEHRAN — Hopeful that the protests sweeping Arab lands may create an opening for hard-line Islamic forces, conservatives in Iran are taking deep satisfaction in […]

Former Ground Zero Mosque imam says he’d be open to a new site — but is he calling the shots?

Jan 30, 2011 6:05 am By Robert Spencer

Rauf was removed from his position as imam of the Ground Zero Mosque after an apparent dispute with the thuggish developer Sharif El-Gamal. So is he making promises that he can’t keep? And why, when he was at the center of the project, did he turn down offers from Donald Trump and others to buy […]

Moderate Muslim who beheaded his wife says he gave her “unconditional love”

Jan 30, 2011 5:48 am By Robert Spencer

Muzzammil Hassan increasingly inspires disgust as he attempts to portray his tiny wife as a serial abuser in an attempt to exculpate himself for beheading her. In doing so, he mirrors the unanimous and consistent inability of Islamic supremacists ever to accept responsibility for any wrongdoing, but instead constantly to blame others, often their victims. […]

If Muslim Brotherhood takes over in Egypt, Israel will face a jihadist enemy with a formidable military

Jan 30, 2011 5:40 am By Robert Spencer

While the mainstream media in the U.S. continues to behave as if the protest in Egypt solely feature secular pro-democracy demonstrators, in Israel at least some appear to be aware that the Muslim Brotherhood stands in the best position to seize power after Mubarak, even if Islamic supremacists and pro-Sharia agitators do not make up […]

Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood leader: “Obama must understand that the people have woken up and are ready to unseat the tyrant leaders who remained in power because of U.S. backing”

Jan 30, 2011 1:09 am By Robert Spencer

Hammam Saeed, like Sheikh Qaradawi and others, apparently believes that if the people in Arab Muslim countries express their general will, Sharia states — which the Brotherhood is dedicated to establishing — will result. “Jordan’s opposition: Arabs will topple tyrants,” by Jamal Halaby for AP, January 29: AMMAN, Jordan (AP) – The leader of Jordan’s […]

Zayed-Spencer debate: did Muhammad teach warfare against and subjugation of unbelievers?

Jan 29, 2011 11:37 am By Robert Spencer

Here is video of my debate last night with Moustafa Zayed on ABN TV. Zayed is the author of a purported refutation of my book The Truth About Muhammad that he has amusingly entitled The Lies About Muhammad — and his book is indeed filled with them. The topic we debated was “Muhammad taught that […]

“Mubarak has been very dedicated to Israeli security more even than to his own people’s security or the national interests”

Jan 29, 2011 7:40 am By Robert Spencer

The Iranian media organ PressTV interviews a Cairo lawyer to assert that the Egyptians want Mubarak out because of his ties to the United States and relatively non-belligerent stance toward Israel. If accurate, this would be another indication of the influence of Islamic supremacists in the Egyptian uprising, since they’re the ones most fanatically invested […]

Iranian leaders hoping for Islamic republic in Egypt

Jan 29, 2011 7:18 am By Robert Spencer

Larijani speaks about a “people’s government” because he knows that pro-Sharia forces enjoy broad popular support. “Iranian leaders hope for Islamic republic in Egypt: Clerics say protests against Mubarak government were inspired by 1979 revolution in Iran,” from Ynet News, January 29: Iranian leaders expressed satisfaction with the anti-government protests in Egypt, with one leader […]

Pakistan: Women demonstrate in favor of blasphemy law

Jan 29, 2011 6:34 am By Robert Spencer

Slaves choosing slavery Pakistan “will soon become a true Islamic nation,” which for the Misunderstander of Islam Ghafoor Ahmed means that more innocent non-Muslims like Asia Bibi will be victimized. “Karachi, women on streets in support of the blasphemy law,” by Jibran Khan for AsiaNews, January 29 (thanks to C.

The imam Abdullah Stepanenko “was convicted of holding a man captive in 2006, and police found Wahhabist literature, audio and video materials, as well as a manual on explosives, in his home.” Nonetheless, he “received a suspended sentence after the Muslim community, including the head of the Council of Muftis of Russia Ravil Gainutdin, spoke […]

Suspected mastermind of Moscow jihad bombing a convert to Islam

Jan 29, 2011 5:55 am By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his new, peaceful religion. Yet there is not a single program in any mosque or Islamic school anywhere in the world dedicated to teaching new converts to reject jihad violence and Islamic supremacism. Now, why is that? “Moscow bomber ‘was Islamist militant from North Caucasus,’” by Andrew Osborn in […]
