The police said it was a short circuit, but Copts United says “unidentified people” set the shops on fire. There is only one group of “unidentified people” who would have any interest in doing such a thing, and for which police would have sympathy. “4 shops owned by Copts are burned in Mallawy,” by Nader […]

New Zealand Muslim forms his own Islamic State
Te Amorangi Kireka-Whaanga was recently named one of the world’s 500 most influential Muslims. He is probably not here setting up a competitor to the Islamic State, as just weeks ago he pledged his support for it. The Islamic State of Aotearoa is likely intended to be a branch of the larger entity. But of course […]
Iraqi corruption probe finds 50,000 fictional soldiers
These fictional soldiers may be the ones Obama was counting on to fight the Islamic State — after all, his “vetted moderates” among the “Syrian rebels” are no more real than these guys. “Iraq PM Haidar al-Abadi promises corruption crackdown after probe finds 50,000 ghost soldiers,” AFP, November 30, 2014 (thanks to Bill): Iraq’s prime […]
Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam with violence
The key question here is, Who is responsible for equating Islam with violence? Islamic jihadists, or non-Muslim “Islamophobes”? Islamic supremacist groups in the West, backed by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), constantly pretend that the latter are responsible, when the whole world knows it’s the former. “Pope says it is wrong to equate Islam […]
India: Muslim slaps actress for wearing skimpy outfits “despite being a Muslim”
“Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and […]
UK: Muslim who threatened to kill wife and children can’t be deported
And he can’t be deported because of his “right to a family life” — that is, his right to be with the people he threatened to murder. A few British people have stopped by the comments field on various recent Jihad Watch posts to tell me to stop being so hard on the British. I […]
On Facebook, Muslim cleric preaches killing of women and children
“In a section titled ‘killing women and children’ he said this was usually not permissible, but stated: ‘Having said this, one must distinguish between killing women and children and the Mujahideen fighting the Kuffar [non-believers] enemies wherever they find them, whether that be in a school or hospital or elsewhere.’ He also gave religious authority […]
Jihadists plotted to blow up 5 passenger planes in Christmas “spectacular”
“The threat has been taken so seriously it came close to leading to an outright ban on all hand luggage….Mobile phones and electronic devices could still be banned from plane cabins, with the threat of a 9/11-style coordinated attack on London and other major cities feared imminent.” Airport security is always a step behind the […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists raid Christian town, throw bombs into houses
“Bishop Kevin? Boko Haram has done it again. They’ve raided the town of Shani, a largely Christian town, and thrown bombs into people’s homes.” “Yeah, so?” “Well, I thought you might want to bring it up at tonight’s outreach and dialogue meeting at Masjid Aurangzeb.” “Are you kidding? Imam Mahmoud has already told me they […]
UK jihadi: “O by the way Islamic State does have a Dirty bomb”
This may be true, but it may simply be an attempt to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah,” as the Qur’an directs Muslims to do (8:60). “Islamic State has a dirty bomb says British jihadi amid claims 40kg of uranium was taken from Iraqi university,” by Jennifer Smith, Daily Mail, November […]
Minnesota imam refuses to denounce the Islamic State
It’s “complicated.” Beheading hostages, crucifying enemies, terrorizing Christians, selling Yazidi and Christian women as sex slaves — it’s “confusing.” “Minnesota imam looks at ‘caliphate’ through Islamic lens,” by Ibrahim Hirsi, MinnPost, November 28, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Any time a militant organization rises with violent acts in the name of Islam, some […]
UK: School playground evacuated because of “aggressive” squirrel
This story has nothing whatsoever to do with jihad. But it is emblematic of the abject weakness of contemporary Britain. If the Brits cower before a squirrel, even an “unusually aggressive” one, how do you think they will stand up against Islamic jihadists and supremacists — especially “unusually aggressive” ones? That’s right: they won’t. They […]
India: Muslim hacks his sister and her Hindu husband to death
“Talb, the brother of the girl, was enraged after the local panchayat did not pass any adverse judgement Friday against the marriage of the boy (Hindu) and girl (Muslim) in a court two months back.” Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. The honor of Talb’s family had to be cleansed. “Couple killed […]
China: Islamic jihadists murder 15 in Xinjiang
Notice how this AP report repeats the Uighur versions of events uncritically. They’re on the side of the jihadists, so they must be right — as far as the mainstream media is concerned. The mainstream media rejects in principle the idea that jihad against unbelievers is taught in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and so when […]
Muslim scholar: Jihadis are fighting Jews, “kings of gold, sex and the media”
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (Qur’an 5:82). In practice, this generally means that the most intense of the people in animosity toward the Jews are Muslims. “Syrian Islamist Scholar Muaz Al-Safouk: Only the Jihadi Movements Can Break the Backs of the […]
Islamic State attacks Kobani from Turkey
“It is now clear that Turkey is openly cooperating with Daesh.” Turkey, meanwhile, won’t allow the U.S. to use its territory to fight against the Islamic State. The old Cold War web of alliances is badly outdated. Rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey is no friend of the United States. Turkey wants to take advantage of the chaos […]
Turkey’s science minister: Muslims discovered the earth is round
All this endless chest-thumping about Muslims having discovered this and invented that doesn’t really establish what it is intended to establish: that Islam makes for a great civilization. All it does is beg the question of why, if Muslims accomplished all this, they didn’t do anything with it. Muslims discovered the earth was round, and […]
UK: Teachers “scared to teach about Jesus” for fear of offending Muslims
This article speaks only of the fear of offending “those of other faiths,” but when Bolton starts talking about how Christianity must be taught so as to aid the integration of new immigrants, it is clear that he is talking about Muslims, as no one is worried about the low rate of “integration” of any […]
Muslim cleric: Our struggle with sons of Zion “requires jihad”
Note what he says about how one civilization or the other will prevail. “Kuwaiti Cleric Tareq Al-Suwaidan: Our Struggle with the Sons of Zion Pertains to Our Very Existence, Requires Jihad,” MEMRI, October 31, 2014.
UK: Muslim rape gang member says raping girls a “religious requirement”
Where did he get this idea? From the Qur’an. “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, […]
