There were 300 in 2003. But then, with Saddam Hussein gone, the efforts to impose Sharia began in earnest. “Christians, churches dwindling in Iraq since start of war 10 years ago,” by Perry Chiaramonte for FoxNews.com, March 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): The head of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Iraq says […]

One guy who got it right from the beginning about the Iraq War
Why, thank you. “One guy who got it right from the beginning about the Iraq War,” by Paul Mulshine in The Star Ledger, March 20: IÂ saw Robert Spencer on a panel at CPAC last week. He was making the same point I’ve often made about imposing democracy on the Mideast. And that point is: If […]
University of Maine Muslim Brotherhood group spokesman: “In this country, terrorism is mainly associated with Islam. We want to break that misconception.”
UPDATE April 13: Nabeel Hashmi is either disingenuous or misinformed. His organization’s website (http://umaine.edu/msa/) acknowledges that it is part of the national MSA and the national MSA website lists (http://msanational.org/2012-2013-affiliated-chapters-list/) his organization as an affiliated chapter. Thanks to Cultural Jihad via Creeping Sharia for the info. ——– UPDATE: Nabeel Hashmi has contacted me; he says […]
Pakistan: Government checks issued to Christian victims of Muslim mob jihad attack bounce
Of course the checks bounced. Muslims don’t pay Infidels. Infidels pay Muslims. It’s in the Qur’an: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the […]
Syria: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber in mosque murders 42, including author of Jihad in Islam: How to Understand & Practise It
Sheikh Mohammed Said Ramadan al-Buti was the author of Jihad In Islam: How to Understand & Practise It, an exposition of the doctrine of jihad that I discuss at length in my book Islam Unveiled. Al-Buti argued, not quite ingenuously, that three of the four Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence held jihad warfare to be […]
Robert Spencer and Michael Coren on DHS giving Saudis “trusted traveler” status and more
Tonight on Michael’s superlative Sun TV program.
Obama compares Israel/”Palestinian” conflict to U.S./Canada relationship
He’s got a point. Turn on Canadian TV anytime, and you’re liable to see some fanatical Church of Canada preacher preaching a fiery sermon about how all Canadians must pray and work for America’s destruction, and how Canadian mothers should thank God for their children who get killed while in the process of murdering Americans. […]
Obama tells “Palestinians” to cut out the genocidal jihadist rhetoric and rocket attacks — no, wait…
Actually, he pretended that they have already done that. He spent his time hectoring the only side that really wants peace as if it were the only obstacle to that peace, and called upon it to take steps that would seriously imperil its survival. “Obama tells Israel: ‘Peace is the only path to true security,’” […]
UK police foil major jihad terror attack on the scale of 7/7 every year
Not to worry. If the Brits could just rein in their hardcore “Islamophobia,” this problem will evanesce. “Major terror attack on scale of 7/7 foiled every year in UK, police reveal,” by Tom Whitehead for the Telegraph, March 21 (thanks to Block Ness): Police and MI5 are foiling a plot as big as the July […]
Stephen Coughlin and Robert Spencer on the pitfalls of interfaith outreach
Last night on my ABN show I interviewed Stephen Coughlin, a former Pentagon official and authority on Sharia, about the dangers of Muslim-Christian “dialogue.”
Colorado authorities investigating whether murder of Department of Corrections official tied to refusal to free Saudi man convicted of sexual assault of woman he held as slave
He wanted to be sent back to Saudi Arabia, where keeping a slave and sexually assaulting her is not a crime, as it is in accord with Islamic law. Colorado prison officials refused. And their chief turns up dead. What a coincidence. “Sources: Clements murder investigation will look at Saudi prisoner connection,” by Julie Hayden […]
Iran Supremo: “At times the officials of the Zionist regime threaten to launch a military invasion but they themselves know that if they make the slightest mistake the Islamic Republic will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground”
These genocidal threats are becoming routine, but the world still directs its opprobrium toward Israel, not the jihadists who have vowed to destroy the Jewish state. “Iran will destroy Israeli cities if attacked: Khamenei,” from Reuters, March 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran’s most powerful authority said the Islamic […]
Mideast: Christians in danger, Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III warns Pope Francis
“The crises in the Middle East, particularly in Syria, are endangering Christians present in the region.” That is, Islamic jihad is threatening the Christians present in the region. “Interfaith dialogue and coexistence between Islam and Christianity are also in jeopardy” — not because of “insults” of Islam from Pope Benedict XVI, as Western academic apologists […]
#MyJihad in Thailand: Jihadists murder 9-year-old boy, wound ten other people with motorcycle bomb
The motorcycle bomb didn’t set out to kill the boy. Who did it? “Suspected militants,” says AP. Militant about what? Six paragraphs down we learn that there has been an “Islamist insurgency.” “Motorcycle bomb kills 1 boy, wounds 10 in Thailand’s restive south,” from the Associated Press, March 21 (thanks to Twostellas): HAT YAI, Thailand […]
#MyJihad in Pakistan: Car bomb at refugee camp murders 13, wounds 25 as people line up for food
No respite, no refuge, no sanctuary from the jihad. “Car bomb at Pakistani refugee camp kills 13,” by Riaz Khan and Rebecca Santana for the Associated Press, March 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) “” A car packed with explosives blew up inside a refugee camp in northwestern Pakistan on […]
Rockets hit Israel as Obama meets “Palestinians” to assure them of his desire to create a “Palestinian” state
The “Palestinian” jihadists show that they know that they can’t do anything to shake Obama of his loyalty to them, and so they have no accountability whatsoever. And the man who gave F16’s and weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt must know that a “Palestinian” state will just be a new jihad base […]
Swastikas and “death to Jews” spray-painted on Jewish homes and shops in Tel Aviv
The haters of the Jews and Israel are growing more assertive even within Israel itself. “Hate graffiti sprayed on Jewish homes in Tel Aviv,” from the Associated Press, March 20: JERUSALEM (AP) “” Israeli police say vandals have spray painted hate graffiti on several Jewish houses in Jaffa, a mixed Israeli and Arab neighborhood of […]
#MyJihad in New York: Muslim charged with conspiring to murder U.S. military personnel, bomb U.S. diplomatic facilities, and aid al-Qaeda
“The allegations include actually attacking U.S troops and plotting to use explosives to kill U.S. diplomats. As alleged, Harun not only intended to but did commit acts of terrorism against Americans.” “Alleged al Qaeda Operative Charged in New York for Terrorism Offenses Against Americans Overseas,” from the U.S. Attorney”s Office, March 20 (thanks to Lookmann): […]
#MyJihad in Colorado: Aurora Dark Knight murderer is convert to Islam, says killings were “his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels”
Muslim inmates are upset, says this story. Will they explain to Holmes that “slay the polytheists wherever you find them” (Qur’an 9:5) and all the other exhortations to violence in the Qur’an are not to be understood literally? And what will they tell him if he responds by pointing out that Muslims are committing violence […]
Egypt’s Grand Mufti called on UNESCO to “exert more efforts to rectify the image of Islam in the West”
Shawqi Allam wants the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to devote itself to rectifying the image of Islam in the West, which I am confident will soon enough be its only job. But if the illustrious mufti really wants to rectify Islam’s image, there is an easier way than pressuring UNESCO to engage […]
