This RFE/RL article spends a lot of time trying to establish that this punishment was not Islamic. The case for that, however, is based solely on the claim that the victim in this case did not get due process — not that the punishment itself was unjustified on Islamic terms. In fact, it’s based on […]

Syria “has replaced Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia as the main destination” for jihad terrorists
Good thing the U.S. is sending them money, eh? “Hundreds of European Muslims fighting Assad,” by Ariel Ben Solomon in the Jerusalem Post, April 25 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): European intelligence agencies are worried that European Muslims fighting in Syria will return to carry out terrorist attacks because of their contacts built with al-Qaida, the […]
Video: Robert Spencer on why jihadis are so often on welfare
Last night on my weekly spot on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show, with guest host Ryan Doyle.
Salon asks, “Why are terrorists so often men?”
Just when you thought the loony Leftist jihad enablers at Salon couldn’t get any crazier, we get this: “Why are terrorists so often men?,” by Irin Carmon for Salon, April 25 (thanks to Bill). When they’re not defaming counter-jihadists, Salon is busy finding non-Islamic explanations, no matter how absurd, for Islamic jihad terrorism. Maybe Salon […]
Canada jihadist in court: “All of those conclusions were taken out based on the Criminal Code and we all know that this Criminal Code is not a holy book”
He dismisses Canadian law as manmade, opting instead for what he thinks is the law of the Creator. And that law — based on the Qur’an and Sunnah — tells him that murdering Infidels in the cause of Islam is A-OK. “Terror suspect Chiheb Esseghaier: ‘Criminal Code is not holy book,’” by Michele Mandel for […]
France: Man claiming to be al-Qaeda member murders three, Interior Minister blames “gun crime problem”
Yes, get rid of guns, and al-Qaeda will wither away. After all, when have they ever used any weapon other than guns? Of course, the murderer may not be an al-Qaeda member; he may be a lone jihadi killer, or even (conceivably) a non-Muslim who is attracted by al-Qaeda as the “strong horse.” But if […]
Islamic Society of Boston tells members to contact ACLU
Poster distributed by a California chapter of Hamas-linked CAIR “We have been informed that the FBI may be starting to question some of the community members about the two suspects. Insha’Allah we want to help as much as we can, but of course not put ourselves at risk either.” This unsigned email from the ISB […]
Boston University professors say education, media must combat stereotypes of Muslims
You know what would work even better than the large-scale propaganda effort they envision, which is already in full swing anyway? Stop blowing things up. Stop killing people in the name of Islam. Work against those who do, instead of closing ranks and blaming non-Muslims for being concerned about this. And your public image will […]
Vienna: Muslims demonstrate outside U.S. Embassy in favor of the Boston jihad bomber
“We are convinced of the innocence of our brother. There is no evidence that he is guilty. America needs a new enemy.” Once again we see the Islamic supremacist deflection of responsibility: any evil perpetrated by Muslims anywhere in the world is always, always the fault of someone else. Even the moderates and pseudo-moderates in […]
Boston jihad murderer “more than likely got some instruction in Dagestan”
They acted alone, eh? That is looking increasingly unlikely. “Boston bombs showed some expertise,” by Brian Bennett, Richard A. Serrano and Ken Dilanian for the Los Angeles Times, April 24 (thanks to Benedict): WASHINGTON “” Investigators said the two Boston Marathon bombs were triggered by long-range remote controls for toy cars “” a more sophisticated […]

Boston jihad murderers’ mother: Scene of carnage was “really big play” with “paint instead of blood”; sons were framed because they were Muslim
She certainly has perfected the victimhood pose that we see so often from Islamic supremacists. “‘It wasn’t blood… it was PAINT’: Boston bombers’ defiant mother launches bizarre defense of her ‘framed’ sons,” by Lydia Warren and Louise Boyle for the Daily Mail, April 25 (thanks to Inexion): The mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects […]
UK: 25,000 Muslims rally to demand criminalization of criticism of Islam
Behold the future of Great Britain. And worst of all are the Western journalists such as Eric Posner, Sarah Chayes, and Nathan Lean (aka “Garibaldi“) who would happily accommodate them in their quest to destroy the freedom of speech and make Muslims a protected class, immune from criticism. Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: “Thousands rally in […]
Boston jihad bomber clams up after being read Miranda rights 32 hours before it was required
Bravo, Obama. Bravo, Holder. Once again you have aided and abetted the cause of jihad: the public safety exception to Miranda lasts 48 hours, and these investigators only had 16 hours. “Officials: Suspect described plot before Miranda,” by Rodrique Ngowi, Lara Jakes and Matt Apuzzo for the Associated Press, April 25 (thanks to Mike): BOSTON […]

Robert Spencer: The spiritual journey of Tamerlan Tsarnaev
In PJ Lifestyle this morning I conclude my series on jazz and Islam with some considerations about the musical career of Tamerlan Tsarnaev: …Tamerlan Tsarnaev wanted to get righteous. He wanted to cleanse his soul and his life of anything that might displease Allah or run counter to Islam. And so his piano playing, as […]
Boston jihad murderer vowed to die for Islam

Why didn’t interfaith dialogue prevent the Boston jihad bombings?
“…the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims…” — Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013 Why didn’t that “inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims” in the Boston area, which is where McManus is, prevent the Boston jihad bombings? Find out in my new book Not Peace […]
UK: Convert to Islam admits to plotting jihad mass murder
Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his new, peaceful religion — or at least that is what those who buy the mainstream media line about Islam would have us believe. And yet not a single mosque or Islamic school in the Western world has any program to teach young Muslims why they should reject this […]
Domestic terrorist who hoped to “kill as many as possible” says he targeted group because SPLC listed it as a “hate group”
The SPLC, the well-heeled propaganda machine that smears conservatives for cash, is an integral part of the ongoing Leftist effort to demonize and destroy legitimate conservative voices — like our American Freedom Defense Initiative, which they also classify as a “hate group” — by lumping them in with the likes of the KKK. The SPLC […]
