Once again we see a jihadist claim the mantle of Islamic authenticity, and rebuke a Muslim opponent on Islamic grounds. This contradicts the prevailing dogma in the West, that the jihadists have twisted and hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam, and actually have no authentic Islamic justification for their actions. Mainstream analysts never bother to […]

Leggings are not pants, Qatar warns tourists
“Help us preserve Qatar’s culture and values.” Fine. No one should have any problem with a nation wanting to preserve its own culture and values. Just remember the principle: for a Muslim country like Qatar to preserve its culture and values that are in line with Sharia is altogether fitting and proper. And for a […]
“I renounced Islam, so my family think I should die”
Amal Farah insists that this has nothing to do with Islam, and the Telegraph is anxious to corroborate her claim. However, as this article notes, Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57), and the alleged “numerous verses in the Koran” that “guarantee freedom of belief” have not prevented all the […]
Australia: Muslim who threatened to murder intel officer refuses to stand in court
“Judge Ian McClintock queried what religious view prevented al-Ahmadzai from standing, which Mr Hanna was unable to answer.” And so yet again we see the indestructible and crystalline ignorance of so many non-Muslim officials regarding Islam and jihad. Hanna wasn’t even curious enough to ask his client why he was refusing to stand? If he […]
Somalia: Islamic jihadists murder 39 in raid on village
No one needs to be overly concerned about this. As long as no “Islamophobia” was committed, all is well. “Al-Shabab Raids Village, at least 39 Dead,” VOA News, May 27, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth): Nearly 40 people are dead after al-Shabab militants attacked a village on the border between Ethiopia and Somalia. The governor of […]
U.S. to keep 9,800 troops in Afghanistan
This makes sense. After all, the jihadis who infiltrate the Afghan military and police forces will need targets. And the increasingly hostile Karzai and his successor will need those bags of no-strings-attached CIA cash still delivered regularly to their offices. “U.S. to keep 9,800 troops in Afghanistan,” by Julie Pace, Associated Press, May 27, 2014: […]
Nigeria’s military knows where abducted girls are, but won’t rescue them
“We can’t go and kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back.” That is indeed so; it is likely that the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, a.k.a. Boko Haram, would murder the girls if there were a rescue attempt. This is in accord with Islamic […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Pope Francis: Mahmoud Abbas is a “Man of Peace”
At FrontPage today I discuss the Pope’s statement that Mahmoud Abbas is a “man of peace,” which he is just as much as the Qur’an is “opposed to every form of violence.” AP reported Sunday that “Pope Francis delivered a powerful boost of support to the Palestinians during a Holy Land pilgrimage Sunday, repeatedly backing […]
Pakistan: Woman stoned to death by her family for marrying man she loved
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]
Obama close to authorizing military training of Syrian jihadists
The story says that he is going to authorize training of “moderate Syrian rebels.” The problem with this is that there is no significant Western-oriented or pluralist force among the Syrian rebels. Even the New York Times acknowledged this, over a year ago: “Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.” […]
Egypt: Brotherhood tries to disrupt presidential elections, so far 20 arrested
Egyptian state security have already “arrested 20 rioters belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood” in a number of cities and provinces for trying to disrupt the presidential electoral process hours after polls opened on the first day, including through banditry, as happened in the Sanuras province, or by threatening voters, as happened in the village of Dafnu. In […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Islam: ‘Appalling and Abhorrent’ in the Eyes of a Blind World?
A few days ago in Sudan, an eight-month pregnant wife and mother was sentenced to death by hanging for refusing to renounce Christ and embrace Islam. According to the LA Times: Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, who has a young son and is married to a Christian from South Sudan, violated Islamic sharia law, the court said. She […]
Pakistan: Sunni Muslim murders Ahmadi Muslim, a volunteer cardiologist from U.S.
Sunnis consider Ahmadis heretics, and thus lawfully killed under Islamic law. For years now we have called attention to the persecution of Ahmadis by Sunni Muslims in Pakistan and Indonesia. There has been little international attention given to this ongoing low-level persecution, because, after all, it isn’t an outbreak of “Islamophobia” — now that would […]
UK: Anti-Semitic Islamic charity finally under investigation eight years after its founder was caught making anti-Semitic statements
How far gone is Dhimmi Britannia? This far gone: Abdurraheem Green made his anti-Semitic statements eight years ago, but is only being investigated now because of a report by the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain, one of the most prominent members of which is another anti-Semite, Maryam Namazie. Namazie is a Marxist, which indicates that […]
Obama backs off drone strikes
There go the last vestiges of any serious counterterror effort from the Obama Administration. Islamic supremacists and Leftist jihad enablers have been pressuring him for years to do this, and have heaped all kinds of outlandish abuse upon him for not jumping immediately to do their bidding. Most outlandishly of all, this most Islamophilic of […]
Turkish court orders arrest of four Israeli officials for their role in defense against Mavi Marmara jihad flotilla
The people on the Mavi Marmara flotilla were genocidal Jew-hating jihadis, as you can see in the above video: they were chanting a jihad war cry recalling Muhammad’s massacre of the Jews of Arabia: “Khybar, Khybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” See the photos here of their weapons. But the Turks have […]
Iraq: Islamic jihadists murdering real estate agents for doing business with Christians
“We were removed from our large house north of Mosul, without being able to sell it.” The idea here is to bleed the Christians dry — after all, under Islamic law they owe the jizya tpo Muslims anyway (cf. Qur’an 9:29). But the world takes no notice. As long as no one is perpetrating any […]
Canada: Hamas-linked Muslim group to proceed with libel suit against PM Harper and spokesman for saying it was Hamas-linked
This takes chutzpah. Does the NCCM have ties to Hamas or not? The superb Canadian site Point de Bascule laid it all out when the NCCM first started threatening to sue. 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 […]
Interfaith outreach in Pakistan: Four Christians arrested for “distributing religious materials”
Shhhh! Do not speak of this! “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 inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013. Those “positive achievements” don’t include doing a […]
New York Times wrings its hands over NYPD still “singling out” Muslims
“As a former police sergeant who worked with the squad said: ‘We are there to collect intelligence about criminal activity or terrorism. Why are we asking, “Are you Muslim?” “What mosque do you go to?” What does that have to do with terrorism?’” The Times, of course, leaves that out there as a rhetorical question, […]
