#MyJihad in Libya: Westerners flee as jihadis threaten new kidnappings and jihad murders

By

“It is becoming clear that al Qaeda is spreading in the Sahara.” “We achieved our central goal … or have come very close to achieving our central goal, which is to de-capacitate al Qaeda, to dismantle them, to make sure that they can’t attack us again.” — Barack Obama, January 11, 2013 “As Muslim terrorists […]

Fort Hood jihad mass murderer wants to be spared death penalty because earlier judge wanted him to shave his beard

By

This beard is waging a courtroom jihad But his beard was not forcibly shaved. The judge who ordered this was removed for his horrifying “Islamophobia.” The never-ending chutzpah of this jihad mass murderer and his attorneys is a disgrace, and that it is entertained at all is a sign of how compromised our military has […]

#MyJihad in the UK: Muslim trio planned murder of British soldiers, jihad mass murder attack bigger than 7/7

By

Irfan, Irfan and Ashik: a trio of Misunderstanders of Islam The BBC tells us they were “three men.” Three “radicalised young men” who “despised” British people. Way down in the story we start hearing about al-Qaeda. Otherwise the BBC does its level best to prevent you from getting any inkling of the motivating ideology of […]

Kerry: Cutting aid to Pakistan would be “unkind,” they helped us find bin Laden

By

Who is Kerry trying to fool? The Pakistani government didn’t help the U.S. find bin Laden. In fact, they were enraged that they had not been filled in on the details of the hunt, which was a wise decision in light of the jihadist ties of the ISI, the Pakistani spy service. How enraged were […]

#MyJihad in Afghanistan: Five civilians murdered in jihad-martyrdom suicide attack on NATO convoy

By

What are the Muslims in the West doing to persuade their coreligionists that jihad-martyrdom suicide attacks is not actually allowed in Islam, despite the Qur’an’s promise of Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:111)? Why are all their efforts directed at shaming non-Muslims in the U.S. into thinking that […]

John Kerry calls Morsi’s Qur’anic references to Jews as apes and pigs “reprehensible”

By

No doubt Kerry has no idea that Morsi was invoking the Qur’an. But he was: “This is what these occupiers of the land of Palestine know — these blood-suckers, who attack the Palestinians, these warmongers, the descendants of apes and pigs.” — Mohammad Morsi, President of Egypt “And (remember, O Children of Israel) when We […]

Dearborn: Muslim attorney “outraged” that McDonald’s is not compensating those “injured” by eating “false halal” chicken

By

I asked in writing about a previous story on this settlement: “‘There was no evidence that the chain set out to deceive customers.’ So why the $700,000 payout?” This story makes the answer clear: it is a form of tribute, of jizya. Now a Muslim attorney in Dearborn is angry that the payout is mostly […]

#MyJihad in Germany: Two Muslims convicted of misunderstanding Islam, recruiting and fundraising for al-Qaeda in Europe

By

We just saw Westerners among those who carried out the jihad massacres at the Algerian gas plant. So apparently recruitment efforts like those of these men sometimes pay off. We have seen again and again in accounts of jihad recruitment that recruiters like Ocak and Lodin appeal to their targets on Islamic grounds, quoting the […]

#MyJihad in Algeria: Jihad group says gas plant jihad massacre was only the beginning, promises “dozens of Merahs”

By

Mohamed Merah was the sadistic jihadist who murdered seven people, including three Jewish children, in France last year. Now the jihadists responsible for the jihad mass murders at the Algerian gas plant are promising more such jihad massacres in France. “Jihadist group delivers chilling threat to France,” from The Local, January 22 (thanks to Lookmann): […]

#MyJihad in Egypt: New group Qaeda al-Jihad threatens violence against Morsi’s foes, calls him “caliph and vicar of Allah”

By

Not exactly Suleiman the Magnificent, but he’ll have to do for now “Crusaders”: jihadists live in an eternal glorious past. In any case, this new jihad group is vowing to repel with force any attempt to remove Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government. Will Ahmed Rehab of Hamas-linked CAIR fly over to Egypt to explain to them […]

“#MyJihad Islamophobes…are blind in hate and frustration. Yes they should be killed”

By

The deceptive and misleading #MyJihad campaign has apparently attracted at least one persistent Misunderstander of Islam. No doubt Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ahmed Rehab is in deep talks with this fellow already, explaining to him that jihad doesn’t really involve killing anyone, but is really just romping through the daisies.

Morsi: Jewish-controlled media distorted my remark that Jews were apes and pigs

By

The Zionist media must be responsible for taking his benign and loving words out of context. In any case, in a meeting with U.S. senators, Morsi dug deeper into his Islamic antisemitism: “Morsi: Jewish-controlled media distorted my “˜apes and pigs” remark,” by Raphael Ahren for the Times of Israel, January 24 (thanks to Block Ness): […]

#MyJihad in Kenya: Somali jihadists threaten to murder non-Muslim hostages unless Kenya releases all Muslims held on terror charges

By

Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or killing them — whichever is more advantageous for the Muslims — is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “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; […]
