Group devoted to “peacemaking” and “interfaith dialogue” to honor Reza Aslan, Board member of lobbying group for Iranian mullahs

Jan 30, 2014 2:26 pm By Robert Spencer

How clueless and compromised are this country’s moneyed Leftist elites? This clueless and compromised. As you can see in the screenshot above from Intersections International’s website, Reza Aslan is being “honored for his work at the intersection of religion, scholarship, and global peacemaking.” (Thanks to Pamela Hall.) Reza Aslan is a Board member of the […]

Iranian General: “We definitely have the potential to hit any American or Israeli target”

Jan 30, 2014 1:04 pm By Robert Spencer

The Iranians know how much the disastrous “nation-building” misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan have weakened the United States. They also see how weak and feckless Obama and Kerry are, giving them everything they want for nothing in return and then boasting that they have brought about peace. Their boasting, in other words, doesn’t come from […]

Tunisia: Imam gets six months prison for using mosque loudspeakers to tell his followers to murder police officers

Jan 30, 2014 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

To call the police officers taghout is a serious charge: the word means “rebels,” “evil powers,” even “idolaters.” “Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in superstition and false objects of worship [taghout] and say about the disbelievers, ‘These are better guided than the believers as to […]

UK: Jihad murderer of Lee Rigby appeals conviction, says he was acting as a “soldier of Allah”

Jan 30, 2014 10:49 am By Robert Spencer

Michael Adebolajo’s Muslim name is Mujaahid Abu Hamza. The BBC doesn’t use it because it wants to obscure the fact that this was an act of Islamic jihad, motivated by the Islamic texts and teachings that jihadists like Mujaahid Abu Hamza invoke to justify violence. In fact, Mujaahid Abu Hamza referred specifically to the ninth […]

Syria jihadists say liberation of “Palestine” will follow Assad’s fall

Jan 30, 2014 10:14 am By Robert Spencer

Mainstream analysts see all these jihads as separate, discrete conflicts that have nothing to do with one another. This is because they discount and choose to remain willfully ignorant of the jihad doctrine that these jihadists all believe in, and that binds them together, leading them to see these conflicts all as part of the […]

State Department adviser on “extremism” urges U.S. to “befriend” al Qaeda

Jan 30, 2014 8:12 am By Robert Spencer

Establishment “experts” on foreign policy and Islamic jihad terror generally suffer from willful ignorance about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and traffic in comforting politically correct fictions about Islam being a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists — a fiction that has led the U.S. […]

UK: Muslim politician incites rage, death threats by posting “Jesus and Mo” cartoon on Twitter

Jan 29, 2014 5:24 pm By Robert Spencer

This controversy has been raging for over a week now. I had been inclined to let it pass by without comment, but what it reveals about the state of the freedom of speech in Britain, and the prospects for large-scale reform of Islam, can’t be ignored. Maajid Nawaz is a politician in Britain and a […]

Canada: Would-be jihad mass murderer tells court he was “forced to show my sex,” rants about gay marriage

Jan 29, 2014 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

True to form for a mainstream media story, there is no indication in this Canadian Press article that Chiheb Esseghaier is a Muslim, much less an Islamic jihadist. There are numerous quotations of him referring to “God,” leaving the uninformed reader with the possibility that he could be a deranged “right-wing Christian extremist.” His previous […]

Highest Sikh authority expresses concern about Muslims wooing Sikh girls to use them in “jihadi efforts”

Jan 29, 2014 3:13 pm By Robert Spencer

The Akal Takht, pictured above, is in Punjab. It is the center of temporal authority for Sikhs. So this is not coming from some “extremist fringe” of “Islamophobes.” “Sexual Exploitation Of Sikhs and Others in England Worries Akal Takht,” from the Hindustan Times, January 29: AMRITSAR SAHIB (January 29, 2014)—The Akal Takht, the highest temporal […]

UK: Muslims in London demonstrate in favor of al Qaeda in Syria

Jan 29, 2014 2:38 pm By Robert Spencer

These Muslims somehow have gotten the Islamophobic idea that democracy and secularism are incompatible with Islam. They must be misunderstanders of Islam. In any case, it sure is a good thing that Britain barred Pamela Geller and me from entering the country. If we had gone there, Muslims might have grown enraged by our “Islamophobia,” […]

Russia “black widow” jihadist: “I am ready to do anything. I can blow myself up, together with all these nonbelievers”

Jan 29, 2014 2:20 pm By Robert Spencer

Note how Umarov grew more religious and…became a jihad terror leader. Note that Ibragimova refers to her foes as “nonbelievers.” We see this again and again: jihad terrorists are devout and observant Muslims. Yet the religious motivation is the one thing that Western analysts have deemed unimportant. “I Met the Black Widow Suicide Bomber,” by […]

Bangladesh: Muslim cleric and students charged for hacking “atheist” blogger to death for insulting Islam and Muhammad

Jan 29, 2014 1:27 pm By Robert Spencer

Didn’t this Muslim cleric realize that Islam is tolerant and peaceful? How did he come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? “Cleric, students charged with ‘athesist’ [sic] blogger’s murder,” from AFP, January 29 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Bangladesh police have charged seven students of an elite university and a cleric over the murder of […]

“170,000 rockets aimed at Israel”

Jan 29, 2014 1:06 pm By Robert Spencer

“What’s this fear that’s struck us suddenly? They’ll kill Jews? Today?” — Shimon Peres No, those rockets are to send origami floating peacefully in the Israeli skies. “‘170,000 Rockets Aimed at Israel,’” by Tova Dvorin for Israel National News, January 29: Israel’s Chief of Military Intelligence, Major General Aviv Kohavi, painted a clear and graphic […]

Shimon Peres says that Jews can live safely in Palestinian state: “What’s this fear? They’ll kill Jews? Today?”

Jan 29, 2014 10:40 am By Robert Spencer

Uh, yeah. They’ll kill Jews. Today. This could only have been said by someone who has no conception of the nature of the jihad ideology, and of the significance of the epigraph from Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna on the Hamas charter: “Israel will arise and will remain until Islam eliminates it.” The establishment of […]

Jizya to keep flowing to Pakistan after U.S. pullout from Afghanistan

Jan 29, 2014 8:43 am By Robert Spencer

Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror. What safeguards are in place now to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Why, none. To ask for any accountability from Pakistan would be “Islamophobic.” “US to keep funding Pakistan after pullout,” by Wajid Ali […]

Egypt: Muslims attack Church of the Virgin Mary in Cairo, murder a police officer

Jan 29, 2014 8:09 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic supremacists continue to blame the Christians of Egypt for the toppling of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood regime — and this has heated up again with Morsi on trial. “Cairo, Coptic Orthodox church attacked. One dead,” from Asia News, January 29 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Cairo (AsiaNews) – A group of armed men yesterday […]

Sisi calls for “modern, comprehensive understanding of the religion of Islam”

Jan 28, 2014 10:24 pm By Robert Spencer

The latest Muslim Martin Luther, taking up the tattered crown from the cynical, deceptive Tariq Ramadan, is Egypt’s General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has called for a reformation within Islam. Such a reformation is certainly urgently needed, and even in calling for it, Sisi has gone much farther than the Muslim Brotherhood scion Ramadan ever […]

Hamas-linked Canadian Muslim group accuses Harper government official of libel for saying it has Hamas ties

Jan 28, 2014 9:54 pm By Robert Spencer

This takes chutzpah. Does the NCCM have ties to Hamas or not? The superb Canadian site Point de Bascule laid it all out last week. A sampling: In order to understand the context of the PMO’s remarks, it is helpful to go back to the origins of CAIR-CAN. CAIR-CAN was established as a branch of […]

Pakistan: University can’t guarantee security of event honoring girl shot by Taliban, cancels event

Jan 28, 2014 9:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Malala insists that what the Taliban do transgresses against the true teachings of Islam; yet those who adhere to what she regards as those true teachings do not have sufficient numbers or power to protect an event that was to be held in her honor at Peshawar University. Those whom she regards as Misunderstanders of […]
