“Arab Spring” in Central Asia?by Enza Ferreri Mirroring what is happening in the world, there is an Islamic revival in the Caucasus and Central Asia, with all that it means for local Christians. The predominantly Muslim Central Asian Republics, after the collapse of the Soviet Union of which they were part, have seen an increase […]

Norway: Muslims praise Boston jihadis
In the U.S. the Islamic supremacists are cannier: they denounce acts of jihad terror and then turn around and oppose every measure designed to prevent them. “Norway: Muslims praise Boston jihadis,” by Nicolai Sennels in Islam Versus Europe, April 23: “The Islamic group Prophet’s Ummah has repeatedly and publicly praised terrorist acts carried out abroad. […]
Another Coptic Church Threatened with Bombing
While news of attacks on Egypt’s churches is becoming more and more frequent, one must also be aware that threats against Coptic churches that never materialize or are forestalled are perhaps even more frequent, even if they get significantly less media coverage. For example, according to the April 20 edition of Tahrir News, the Church […]
Here come the riots: Muhammad the dog on tour. New Muhammad drawings for sale.
Swedish Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks is famous for his Roundabout dog: the Islamic prophet depicted with a dog body. The Danish counter-jihad blogger and founder of Free Speech Europe, Hans Erling Jensen, and Vilks have started the performance “The Roundabout Dog TOUR”, in which a plywood model of Muhammad with a dog body is touring […]
Muslim Persecution of Christians: February, 2013
Over at Gatestone Institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com) I list the oppression visited upon Christians under Islam in the month of February: Reports of Christian persecution by Muslims around the world during the month of February include (but are not limited to) the following accounts. They are listed by form of persecution, and in country alphabetical order, […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Islam’s Collective Punishment of Christians
Over at the Investigative Project on Terrorism (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I discuss the latest attack on Egypt’s Christians in the context of collective punishment: As many of Israel’s critics portray it as collectively punishing the Palestinians, overlooked and unsaid is the greater frequency with which Muslims collectively punish the religious minorities living under their authority, often […]
Mosque that Boston jihad bombers attended has ties to jihad terrorists
Big surprise here — this is going to knock back a lot of Christian leaders who are engaged in wonderfully fruitful “dialogue” with these slick deceivers. Or maybe they won’t be knocked back, because they’re impervious to facts. “Mosque that Boston suspects attended has radical ties,” by Oren Dorell for USA Today, April 23 (thanks […]
Fort Lauderdale: Muslim accused of helping his brother plot jihad terror attack in New York City seeking bond
It is useful to recall how many jihad attacks in the U.S. have been foiled. The number of these plots makes the prevailing unreality about jihad and Islamic supremacism all the more inexcusable. “Raees Alam Qazi, 20, researched bomb-making techniques on Internet sites affiliated with al-Qaida, including one using Christmas tree lights…Qazi is charged along […]
Boston jihad bomber: My brother planned attack because he wanted to defend Islam
And he decided that committing mass murder at a crowded sporting event was just the way to do it. Meanwhile, many of the bombers’ fellow Muslims and their Leftist allies are busy defending Islam by denying that it had any significant role to play in the bombings, and continuing to demonize and marginalize those who […]
MSNBC’s Martin Bashir: Boston jihad bombers bury the “peace, compassion and kindness of the Koran”
This is what the American people are getting fed. “Bashir: Suspected Boston Bombers Hurt ‘Peace-Loving Religion’ Of Islam,” from Real Clear Politics, April 22: MSNBC’s Martin Bashir explains how suspected Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, are the just the latest to use terror in the name of Islam — burying the “peace, compassion and […]
NYPD’s Ray Kelly: Boston jihad bombers represent rising jihad threat in U.S.
It’s amazing to see a public official anywhere talking about the jihad threat. It’s also gratifying to see that it is Ray Kelly, who has come under intense pressure from Hamas- and Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and their Leftist allies in New York to scuttle any effective counterterrorism measures. “NYPD”s Ray Kelly: Boston Bombers Represent New […]
UN Human Rights Council official blames Boston jihad bombings on U.S. foreign policy and Israel
Of course. Who else? “UN Official Justifies Boston Bombings as “˜Retribution”, Blames America,” from UN Watch, April 22: GENEVA, April 22, 2013 – In a letter sent today to UN chief Ban Ki-moon and U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice…., UN Watch demanded the condemnation of top UN Human Rights Council official Richard Falk over his latest remarks […]
Chris Matthews on Boston jihad bombers: “What difference does it make why they did it if they did it? I’m being tough here.”
Do you think Chris Matthews would be getting “tough” by asking “what difference does it make why they did it?” if the perpetrators had turned out to be the “right-wing extremists” of media mythmaking? I don’t, either. Note how Van Zandt tries gently to talk Chris off the ledge: “it’s important to the case because […]
Libya: Islamic jihadists target French embassy with car bomb
For daring to fight back against jihadists in Mali. “Car bomb targets French Embassy in Libya,” by Esam Mohamed for the Associated Press, April 23: TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — A car bomb targeted the French Embassy in the Libyan capital early Tuesday, wounding two French guards and a Libyan teenager in an attack that President […]
Atlantic Wire: “The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So?”
All right, I’ll spell it out for you: the fact that they were Muslims is not incidental to what they did. There’s this thing called “jihad,” you see. It’s an Islamic doctrine involving warfare against unbelievers. The likelihood is that some others might want to wage jihad against Americans as well. And so the more […]
Morocco’s higher council of religious scholars calls for apostates from Islam to be murdered
Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Yet Muslim spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us that Islam […]
Tip from imam led police to Toronto jihad plot
Why is this even a news story? It is something that ought to be so commonplace, if the mainstream media narrative about Islam and jihad were true, that it wouldn’t be noteworthy at all. Instead, it is so unusual that whenever it does happen, it gets widespread attention. What we see much more of is […]
Toronto jihad plotters have al-Qaeda ties
They were moderates until they became “Islamists.” Chiheb Esseghaier was a grad student. No doubt those around him assumed that he abhorred and condemned violence done in the name of Islam. “Suspects charged in Via train terror plot have al-Qaida ties: RCMP,” from The Canadian Press, April 22: TORONTO, Canada — Two Canadian residents were […]
Toronto jihad plot: would-be mass murderers were “religious men”
Again and again we see that Islamic jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. Yet to explore the implications of this and try to formulate ways to resist it would be “Islamophobic.” “Toronto terror plot: Suspects were religious men, according to colleagues, neighbours,” by Jennifer Pagliaro and Allan Woods for the Toronto Star, April 22 (thanks to […]
Robert Spencer and Michael Coren on the Boston jihad bombings and media denial
This evening I made a special appearance on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show to discuss the Boston jihad attacks and mainstream media obfuscation of their real motive.
