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 The old Cold War web of alliances is badly outdated.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 […]
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.
Church of England bishop says Qur’an should be read at Charles’ coronation
What a great idea. Here are some readings that would go over great at Charles’ coronation, and show who is the boss in the Brave New Britain: Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part […]
Pope calls for fighting hunger and poverty as key to stopping jihadists
Alleviating hunger and poverty won’t end jihad terrorism. The Pope here is repeating the oft-refuted notion that poverty causes terrorism. CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by […]
