Arlandson, Ph.D. This series of article about Islamic shariah law is intended for educators, legislators, city council members, judges, lawyers, journalists, government bureaucrats, think tank fellows, TV and radio talk show hosts, and anyone else who occupies […]

Muslim group that fired rockets into Israel: “Jihad in the way of Allah against the criminal Jews is a duty through which we get closer to Allah”

By

Reza Aslan’s gunsel Nathan Lean, who just wrote in the Los Angeles Times that “equating the Palestinian cause with jihad” is one of “the country’s nastiest displays of prejudice,” is no doubt on his way to Gaza right now, to explain to Majlis Shura Al-Mujahidin that they’re getting jihad, and the Palestinian cause, all wrong, […]

Los Angeles Times calls for restrictions on freedom of speech of counter-jihadists

By

Before reading Nathan Lean’s call for the restriction of the freedom of speech of critics of jihad and Islamic supremacism in the Los Angeles Times, it is illuminating to bear a few things in mind. First: Nathan Lean, the editor-in-chief of Aslan Media, is a thug who has sent me numerous veiled threats. For security […]

American Taliban demands special accommodation, wants Muslim group prayer in prison

By

Remember, Lindh wasn’t just “captured by U.S. troops in Afghanistan”; he was captured while engaging in hot warfare against American troops. He should have been tried for treason and executed. Having been saved by politically correct pusillanimity, now he wants special accommodation in prison so that he can practice Islam — the same Islam that […]

Libya: Islamic supremacists bulldoze Sufi shrine

By

Actually, oddly enough, it was Sunni Muslim “hardliners” who did the deed, as they consider Sufis heretical. And Jihad Watch reader Maxwell commented: “Why wasn’t there a Rachel Corrie to stop the bulldozer?” “Sufi shrines attacked ‘by Islamist hardliners’ in Libya,” from Malta Today, August 26 (thanks to all who sent this in): A Sufi […]

Mali: Islamic supremacists “ready to die” to defend Sharia — that is, amputating thieves’ hands, destroying shrines, and banning music

By

“We are Muslims. We are going to implement Islamic law, and Islamic law punishes thieves this way.” I expect that the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is jetting over to Timbuktu as we speak, so as to explain to Ansar Dine how they’re getting Sharia all wrong, and that it’s actually fully compatible with Western principles […]

Uzbekistan: Muslim police beat, fine Christian family for proselytizing

By

This appears to be an attempt at legal strongarming, a la Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. But it is interesting to note that Christian missionary activity can get one arrested and fined in “secular” Uzbekistan. Islamic Tolerance Alert: “Christian family converted to Islam, beaten, tried in Tashkent,” from Uznews.net, August 12 (thanks to Filip): Orthodox Christian Natalya […]

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood cleric: “The day will come when we will be masters of the world”

By

This appears to have originally aired earlier, as Raymond reported on it here at Jihad Watch on July 28. In any case, it directly contradicts the widely publicized recent study that claims that Islamic supremacists are not seeking world domination. “Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi: ‘The Day Will Come When We Will Be the Masters of […]

Muslim doctor from UK led Syrian jihad terror cell that took British journalist hostage

By

A doctor? But…but…I thought poverty caused terrorism! “NHS doctor led Syrian terror cell that took British journalist hostage,” by Kerry Mcdermott for the Daily Mail, August 26 (thanks to David): An NHS doctor on leave from a London hospital was part of a heavily-armed extremist gang who took a British journalist hostage in war-torn Syria. […]

Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon, dies at age 82

By

Besides everything that he obviously was, Neil Armstrong was a symbol of the high technological attainment of Western civilization, as well as of Islamic supremacist resentment and wish-fulfillment. I used to frequent an Afghan restaurant in the Washington, DC area that was run by observant Muslims; the wall decorations included Qur’an verses and a wonderful […]

Rep. Joe Walsh won’t apologize for saying “radical Islamists” in U.S. want to kill Americans

By

Walsh bends over backwards to make the usual assurances that not all Muslims want to kill Americans, but the fact that this is a controversy at all shows the extent to which Islamic supremacist propaganda has made inroads in the public discourse. Would Moon Khan and his allies really have us believe that there are […]

Pamela Geller: 1001 pieces of Islamic supremacist propaganda: fabricated exhibit comes to D.C.

By

In “1001 Pieces of Islamist Propaganda: Fabricated Exhibit Comes to D.C.,” in PJ Media today, Pamela Geller examines the disingenuous and misleading 1001 Muslim Inventions exhibit, which I discussed at length in my 2007 book Religion of Peace? — that it is still going strong five years later is testimony to its popularity. …The exhibit […]

Telegraph’s Damian Thompson blames West for Muslim persecution of Middle Eastern Christians

By

Damian Thompson is well established as a dhimmi journalist who cowers before Islamic supremacists and dutifully recites their talking points, so this comes as no surprise. And there is a grain of truth to what he says here: the relatively secular Arab Nationalist regimes of Saddam Hussein and Hosni Mubarak were indeed better for the […]

Islamorealism ads enrage “journalist” Ken Borsuk of the Greenwich Post

By

Greenwich Post tag on this photo: "Offensive sign" — the truth offends them Truth is not bigotry. There really have been over 19,000 jihad attacks since 9/11, all perpetrated by people who believed that in murdering people they were serving Allah and Islam. But the denial and obfuscation continue. “Train ads cause furor, charges of […]

San Francisco Examiner reluctantly comes out for free speech, smears pro-Israel bus ad

By

It is good, and rather surprising in today’s climate, to see the San Francisco Examiner come out for Pamela Geller’s free speech rights and say that her pro-Israel ads should be allowed to run. However, the Examiner predictably enough retails Islamic supremacist talking points in branding the ad “offensive,” “bigoted,” “hateful” and even “repulsive.” The […]

Jihad murderer released in Gilad Shalit exchange recounts “Palestinian” Muslims’ joy at murders of Israeli civilians

By

How happy were the Palestinian Muslims at the bloody murders of Jews in a pizzeria. And it’s no surprise: they love death. Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.” This is a commonplace idea among jihadists. Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise […]

Muslim Eid riots in Denmark: Shootings, stoning the police, 60 club-wielding Muslims attack hospital

By

At the traditional Eid celebrations in the Muslim ghetto of Vollsmose in Denmark’s third biggest city, Odense, a car arrives with two Muslims from a unwelcome gang. One of the two is shot and later stabbed, the other escapes. As the victim receives treatment at Odense University Hospital, 60-70 aggressive and violent Muslims arrive at […]
