Another symptom of Britain’s steep and precipitous decline into the chaos that is almost certain to come due to the feckless appeasement policies that British authorities relentlessly pursue. “Frontline police say ‘let us patrol in pairs’ due to rising risk of street attack by jihadis,” by Martin Beckford, Daily Mail, November 22, 2014 (thanks to […]

Islamic supremacist groups connect their jihad to Ferguson riots
In this photo (thanks to Kay), Leftist demonstrators relate the strife in Ferguson to the “Palestinian” jihad. And Pamela Geller has a great deal of information on how Islamic jihadists and supremacists, including the Hamas-linked terror organization CAIR, have tried to co-opt the Ferguson riots as part of their own jihad. Most noteworthy is the […]
Iran: ‘Americans have very clearly surrendered’
What can be said? They are right. “Iran: ‘Americans Have Very Clearly Surrendered,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 25, 2014: VIENNA—Top Iranian leaders have been celebrating a recently inked extension in nuclear negotiations with the West, with leading military figures and politicians saying that the deal is a sign that the “Americans have […]
Islamic State has “sleeper cells over here…preparing to unleash their war in Europe”
Meanwhile, European governments are busy stamping out all manifestations of what they deem to be “Islamophobia,” including any honest discussion of how jihadis use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism. The Islamic State sleeper cell members will surely see their good will and cease their jihad activities. “‘ISIS have sleeper cells in […]
UK can watch fewer than 50 jihad terror suspects 24/7
And the jihad murderers of Lee Rigby were known to security services, but not deemed a threat. You can’t blame those security services — they have been taught that jihad is an internal spiritual struggle, so when the future murderers of Rigby started talking jihad, they probably thought, “Oh, how nice.” Maybe if the Cameron […]
Bulgaria: Mosque raided in jihad incitement probe
A mosque? What’s that? A mosque full of misunderstanders of Islam who somehow got the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam? Has John Kerry or David Cameron heard about this? “Bulgarian mosque raided in jihad incitement probe,” AFP, November 25, 2014: Bulgarian authorities raided a mosque in the south […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Hagel takes the fall
In FrontPage today I speculate on why Obama fired Hagel: Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that […]
Pakistan: Christian sentenced to death for blasphemy files last-ditch appeal
In a sane society, Asia Bibi’s story would be front-page news, with Presidents, Prime Ministers and Popes appealing for her release, the United Nations condemning Pakistan, and all foreign aid halted until she was released and blasphemy laws repealed. Instead, the world “human rights community” looks the other way and devotes its energies to hunting […]
Nigeria: Teenage Muslimas murder at least 30 in crowded market
“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Nigeria’s Maiduguri city hit by ‘deadly blasts,’” BBC, November 25, 2014 (thanks to King Dave): Two female suicide bombers have […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on Israel and Iran’s nuclear program
Yesterday I was on Straight Talk with Pat Bolland on Sun TV, discussing Iran’s nuclear program and what Israel may do to stop it.
UK Law Society apologizes and withdraws Sharia guidelines
“The Law Society has withdrawn controversial guidelines for solicitors on how to compile ‘Sharia compliant’ wills amid complaints that they encouraged discrimination against women and non-Muslims.” There is no doubt that when the Law Society adopted these guidelines, it had no idea that Sharia discriminated against women and non-Muslims; and if Law Society members had […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: UK: It Was “Racist” to Prosecute Muslim Rape Gangs
In FrontPage I discuss the latest in the slow-motion suicide that is modern-day Britain. Britain’s Birmingham Mail reported last week that Birmingham’s City Council buried a report about Muslim cab drivers exploiting non-Muslim girls back in 1990.A researcher, Dr. Jill Jesson, drafted a report on this issue. But, she explained, “the report was shelved, buried, […]
Islamic State training children to be jihad killers
“We’re going to kill you, O kuffar. Insha’allah we’ll slaughter you.” Kuffar = Infidels. Insha’allah = Allah willing. Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Children of the Jihad: ISIS Behead Kurdish Children; Train Kazakh Children to Fight,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, November 24, 2014: New horrific evidence of ISIS embroiling children […]
Professor Mia Bloom, Univ. of Mass.-Lowell, approvingly cites Nazi site’s depiction of Robert Spencer as “rat boy for Israel”
Mia M. Bloom is a Professor of Security Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. I had never heard of her until October, when she told a Jihad Watch reader that I would lose a debate with anyone “educated in the field,” and he suggested that she and I debate. I agreed to do so, […]
Obama makes Chuck Hagel the scapegoat for his foreign policy failures
Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that is Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Hagel may have sealed his […]
Muslima who called for burning of Robert Spencer book threatens legal action over Spencer quoting her
This morning I received an email from a woman named Sharissa who, several years ago, called for one of my books to be “torched” — whereupon I offered to see if she could get a bulk rate on multiple copies, which she could torch to her heart’s content. The email said: A few years ago […]
2 Jewish men wounded outside Jerusalem’s Jaffa Gate in suspected jihad terror attack
Time for a fresh UN condemnation of Israel. “2 Jewish men wounded outside Jerusalem’s Jaffa Gate in suspected terrorist attack,” by Daniel K. Eisenbud, Jerusalem Post, November 24, 2014: A Jewish man in his 40s is in moderate-to-serious condition after being stabbed in the upper torso Monday evening, while another man sustained light wounds, police […]
Karen Armstrong on Harris and Maher: “It fills me with despair, because this is the sort of talk that led to the concentration camps”
Remember all those Jewish terror plots? Jews shouting “Shema Yisrael” as they blew themselves up in crowds of non-Jews and flew planes into buildings? Remember those captured internal documents of Jewish organizations saying they were working toward “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” so that “the religion of Moses was victorious over other religions”? […]
Saudi Arabia’s plush rehab facility for jihadists a spectacular failure
“When Saudi police arrested 88 suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in September, they discovered that 59 of them had been through reform programs and were then released.” And yet the British are staking their nation’s future on a similar program, which will only ensure that Britain’s future will feature blood in the streets. “Passages Saudi Arabia: Plum […]
Peace Train to Nowhere: Profs on Israeli-Palestinian ‘Negotiations’
Peace Train to Nowhere: Profs on Israeli-Palestinian ‘Negotiations’ by Andrew Harrod “What can you tell” an audience “that they haven’t already heard” at yet “another conference on the Arab-Israeli conflict?” asked Middle East Policy Council (MEPC) Board Chairman Omar Kader at a recent Washington, DC, panel. About fifty attendees, who enjoyed coffee, juice, and pastries […]
