Journalist who investigated al-Qaeda infiltration of Pakistan’s navy found murdered — had feared retaliation from Pakistan’s jihad-linked spy service
The work of Syed Saleem Shahzad of Asia Times Online has appeared many times here at Jihad Watch. You can see here that he was closely monitoring jihad activity in Pakistan — and given their preference for working under the cover of darkness, it is only natural that they would want him dead. “Missing Pakistani […]

Iraq’s Kristallnacht: 70 Years Later By Robert S. Wistrich Seventy years ago, on June 1, 1941, the most dramatic and violent pogrom in the Arab Middle East during World War II took place in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

Chutzpah Alert: Belgium Muslim organization sues sociologist for making link between Islam and antisemitism
An article from IslamOnline (posted several years ago and since taken down, but captured here) shows how Mark Elchardus could have gotten this horrific Islamophobic idea: Dear Sheikh! As-Salam `Alaykum. What, according to the Qur’an, are the main characteristics and qualities of Jews? Answer: […] As regards the question you posed, the following is the […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder 15 in bars after inauguration of Christian president
I guess that’s one way to make sure Jonathan isn’t elected again: kill all those who voted for him. Bars were probably targeted in order to make sure that no Muslims would be killed. “Nigeria hit by multiple blasts after inauguration,” from AP, May 30 (thanks to all who sent this in): BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) […]
Iraq: Muslims murder Christian in cold blood
After he escaped two attempts to abduct him for ransom. “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and […]
Palestinian Authority continues to deny Israel’s right to exist
These are the people Barack Obama wants Israel to accommodate and make concessions to, in a futile chase after a chimerical peace that will in reality only be a pause before the next round of their jihad. “PA continues to deny Israel’s right to exist,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik for Palestinian Media […]
Australia: Libyan student “upset” by how Australian women dress went on sexual assault spree and laughed at his victims
Tyranny leads to morally stunted people, whose internal mechanisms of self control never grow beyond responding to the threat of external punishment. Add to that the mentality that women who don’t meet some standard of modesty are fair game, as is often seen in Islamic countries (and imported into the West by characters like the […]
Egyptian sheikh says poverty in Islamic world can be solved by jihad and plundering the Infidels
Where did Sheikh Abi-Ishaq al-Huwayni get these ideas? Why, from Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, of course. Umar, the second caliph, said: “I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the […]
Why Muslim cultures lag behind — a Muslim perspective
Why Muslim cultures lag behind — a Muslim perspective By the Anti Jihadist Recently, in a discussion here at Jihad Watch as to why Muslim cultures noticeably lag behind much of the rest of the world, the following eight traits were summarised as characteristics of the dysfunctional societies of Islam: Belief in magic Belief in […]
Bangladesh: PM opposes Supreme Court rulings restoring secular provisions in Constitution and rejecting Islamic revisions
Rejecting the principles of her late father in favor of Islam. “O ye who believe! take not for protectors your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.” — Qur’an 9:23 “Hasina for Islam as Bangladesh’s state religion,” from IANS, May 31: Dhaka, May […]
Spencer: Egypt Rushes Toward Sharia and War
In Human Events this morning I discuss Egypt’s increasingly belligerent stance toward Israel. How hopelessly at odds with America’s best interests is Barack Obama? Less than two weeks ago he declared his support for “political and economic reform in the Middle East,” warmly endorsing the “Arab Spring” uprisings there. Then Sunday, Muslim Brotherhood Sheikh Hazem […]

Facebook, Twitter block Saudi woman driver’s pages
Does anyone know if the Facebook page calling for women drivers in Saudi Arabia to be beaten is still up? Given Facebook’s sorry track record of supporting Islamic supremacists and working against counter-jihadists, I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if it were. “Female Saudi Driver Said to Be Freed,” from the Associated Press, May […]
“Spiritual mentor” to Iran’s Thug-in-Chief says killing Israeli civilians allowed, suicide bombings a must
According to this report, he says, “suicide attacks are not only legitimate but are a must for every Muslim.” Probably not all at once: that could create certain logistical issues for the jihad. But if it’s a must for “every” Muslim, what is he waiting around for? “Iran cleric: Killing Israeli children OK,” by Dudi […]
Chechen Muslim found guilty of attempting to bomb Danish Motoon paper
A doubly failed jihad: Not only did the bomb go off in his hotel bathroom, now he’s going to jail. An update on this story. “Chechen-born boxer found guilty of terror for explosion in hotel in Danish capital,” by Jan M. Olsen for the Associated Press, May 30 (thanks to Kenneth): COPENHAGEN – A Chechen-born […]
Ukraine: Muslim girl stoned to death for participating in beauty contest
The fact that this was an extrajudicial killing doesn’t let Sharia off the hook. The fact that stoning is prescribed for adultery (as often as apologists might also try to deny it for non-Muslim consumption), where the murderers in this case apparently decided for themselves her actions were tantamount to adultery, doesn’t let Sharia off […]
Pakistan: Former navy commando and brother arrested for providing maps to jihadists in base raid
It was obvious the handful of jihadists who destroyed multi-million dollar aircraft and held Pakistani forces at bay for 16 hours had help. They knew exactly where to go and where to find what they wanted. But these two are only the tip of the iceberg where infiltration is concerned, as military and police installations […]
Pakistani jihad group has sleeper cells in U.S.
Are U.S. government and law enforcement authorities sleeping as well? More on this story. “COMMENTARY-Lashkar-e-Toiba: Global Outreach,” by Shrideep Biswas for South Asia Intelligence Review/India Blooms News Service, May 30: Lashkar-e-Toiba ranks right up there in the al-Qaida and related groups as terrorist organizations…(Janet Napolitano, US Secretary of Homeland Security, May 27, 2011) The statement […]
U.S. Court of Appeals forces Islamic Dearborn to allow for the freedom of speech
It’s bad enough that this case had to be fought at all, but the victory is still sweet. “Free Speech Victory in Dearborn, Michigan!,” from Answering Muslims, May 26: Maybe I shouldn’t say “in” Dearborn, since the city only sought to suppress free speech in this case. An outside court (the United States Court of […]
