Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Australian Broadcasting Corp. whitewashes drug bust of Islamic Council head

May 30, 2014 8:57 am By Robert Spencer

This story from ABC.net.au says that the arrested people had so much methylamphetamine on them that clearly they were major dealers. It identifies them by name as Ziad and Rabih Jneid, but doesn’t identify them further. However, an earlier version of the story that now resolves to the link below had a very different headline: […]

Raymond Ibrahim: New Fatwa Says Husbands Should Abandon Wives to Rapists in Self Interest

May 30, 2014 8:40 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Islam permits Muslim husbands to abandon their wives to rapists in order to save their own lives—so says Dr. Yassir al-Burhami, vice president of Egypt’s Salafi party, the nation’s premiere Islamist party since the Muslim Brotherhood was banned. Burhami’s fatwa, or Islamic decree, is not altogether surprising. Earlier the Salafi sheikh said that, although a […]

UK: Muslim cleric praises Boko Haram’s kidnap of schoolgirls

May 29, 2014 2:47 pm By Robert Spencer

This is the Britain that Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron have made. Why has Mizanur Rahman’s sermon “sparked fresh outrage”? Why is anyone upset about it at all? After all, I was banned from Britain for saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for […]

UK: Adviser to Muslim mayor linked to “Islamic extremist group” threatens Muslim riots if his fraudulent re-election is questioned

May 29, 2014 2:14 pm By Robert Spencer

How did it come about that the “publicly-funded political adviser” to the mayor of Tower Hamlets would threaten street violence over an investigation of his camp’s voter intimidation and questionable vote-counting? This is, after all, Great Britain, which has a proud tradition stretching back hundreds of years of free and fair elections, unaccompanied by intimidation […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Obama’s Absurd West Point Speech

May 29, 2014 1:36 pm By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage today I discuss how Obama identified terrorism as the greatest threat we face, while having forbidden discussion of what exactly that terrorism is. Barack Obama gave the commencement address at the United States Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, and piled absurdity upon absurdity. “For the foreseeable future, the most direct threat […]

AFDI Truth About CAIR ads go up in New York City, immediately defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti

May 29, 2014 11:38 am By Robert Spencer

This is right on the money: “It’s very telling that their vandalism is anti-Semitic. The vandalism demonstrates yet again the desperate insecurity and authoritarian tendencies of the foes of the U.S., Israel and freedom. The supporters of Hamas-tied CAIR and the Palestinian jihad cannot answer our arguments or refute our assertions. They cannot debate so […]

Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Bob Dylan told us to come to Israel

May 29, 2014 11:11 am By Robert Spencer

While the BDS movement and Pink Floyd’s execrable Roger Waters tried to intimidate the Stones into cancelling their stop in Tel Aviv, one artist was clear-sighted and noble, and encouraged them to go there. “Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Dylan told us to come to Israel,” by David Brinn, Jerusalem Post, May 27, 2014: Ronnie Wood, […]

Sharia in action: Kuwaiti woman loses child custody after wearing a bikini

May 29, 2014 10:44 am By Robert Spencer

Kuwaiti politicians say that ”wearing a bikini is not a personal choice or a matter of personal freedom,” but rather ”an assault on local values and sense of decency and modesty.” Wearing one runs counter to “the precepts of Islam.” And that’s that, in Kuwait, and increasingly in the West as well, courtesy of terrified […]

Robert Spencer in Aleteia: Did Boko Haram Just Win?

May 29, 2014 10:02 am By Robert Spencer

Over at Aleteia today I discuss the latest developments in the abduction of the Nigerian schoolgirls by the jihad group Boko Haram: Nigerian Air Marshal Alex Badeh announced Monday that the Nigerian military had discovered the location of the nearly 300 girls abducted by the jihadist group Boko Haram. However, he said there were no […]

Iraq’s Shi’ite Prime Minister calls for jihad against Sunni jihadists

May 29, 2014 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

The U.S. did all it could to paper over Sunni-Shi’ite hostility in Iraq, but now it is stronger than ever, exacerbated by the conflict in Syria, which has morphed from being an anti-Assad operation into a Sunni-Shi’ite jihad. American analysts, true to form, underestimated how difficult it would be to heal a 1,400-year-old antagonism. “Iraq […]

Sign the petition here. Video thanks to Human Rights for Atheists, Agnostics and Secularists. Remember: you don’t have to be an atheist or agnostic to support their fundamental human rights and oppose blasphemy laws that victimize untold numbers of people in Pakistan and elsewhere. We need a broad coalition of all the victims and potential […]

Central African Republic: Islamic jihadists storm church, murder at least 30

May 29, 2014 12:02 am By Robert Spencer

The mainstream media has portrayed the violence in the Central African Republic as emanating solely from the Christians, generally without noting that they were reacting to initial persecution from the Muslims. No violence against innocent people is ever justified; the mainstream media only notices such violence in the Central African Republic when Christians are the […]

Florida: Would-be jihad mass murderer allowed not to stand when judge enters court; demands taxpayer-funded Islamic clothing

May 28, 2014 4:27 pm By Robert Spencer

He wanted to commit mass murder in the name of Islam and jihad, and now he wants taxpayers to provide him clothing that reflects those same religious beliefs. And when Judge Scriven granted him permission not to stand when she entered, was she aware of the fact that Osmakac’s remaining seated signifies that he doesn’t […]

Syria: Islamic jihadists do extensive damage to ancient Christian sites

May 28, 2014 3:59 pm By Robert Spencer

The Churches in America remain largely silent about all this, because they have been manipulated into thinking that it is “hateful” and “bigoted” to name the perpetrator in this instance. “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our […]

Cal Poly: Free speech under attack in academia

May 28, 2014 3:24 pm By Robert Spencer

On May 13, I spoke at Cal Poly — California Polytechnic State University — in San Luis Obispo, California. (In the video above, the event starts at 8:19.) The event was preceded by the usual Muslim Students Association grievance-mongering and bogus claim of victimhood status, with an article in the campus newspaper complaining about my […]

Malaysia: Muslim groups call for jihad on Cadbury after pork traces found in chocolate

May 28, 2014 2:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Jihad over chocolate? Good idea. After all, hitting the gym is a good idea after a few of these Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond bars. “Malaysian Muslim groups call for jihad on Cadbury after pork traces found in chocolate,” by Josie Ensor, the Telegraph, May 27, 2014 (thanks to all […]

Sudan: Woman condemned to death for leaving Islam gives birth in jail

May 28, 2014 12:57 pm By Robert Spencer

She has been convicted of adultery because she is considered a Muslim, and Muslim women are forbidden to marry non-Muslim men. She has likewise been condemned to death for apostasy because she declares herself a Christian even though her father was a Muslim. If her father was a Muslim, then she is, too, according to […]

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder 54 people in two new attacks

May 28, 2014 9:49 am By Robert Spencer

Clearly the Nigerian government can or will do nothing to stop Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. They operate with complete impunity and commit jihad murder at will. Meanwhile, the international media eye is growing bored with the story of the abducted girls, and soon Boko Haram […]

TSA check misses empty AK-47 clips in Yemeni man’s luggage

Also, “the Transportation Security Administration screeners then found that the two men were carrying above the $10,000 maximum in US currency. Alkhanshli had $12,000 and Ali had $14,000, sources said.” They were “able to explain why they had the money,” but did anyone ponder what a couple of Yemeni nationals with large sums of cash […]

Kerry: US starting $5 billion “terrorism partnership fund”

May 28, 2014 8:53 am By Robert Spencer

There is such a comic opera feel to all this, it’s a shame that Gilbert and Sullivan aren’t around. The U.S. is forking over another $5 billion to fight against “radical extremists” — that is, $5 billion to fight against a foe that U.S. officials are afraid to name, and officially forbidden to name. Meanwhile, […]
