Mubin Shaikh is a Canadian moderate Muslim who acted as a counter terrorism agent for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the investigation of a 2006 Toronto jihad mass murder plot, and has been living off the notoriety that brought him ever since.
In February 2013 I debated him about whether or not the Qur’an teaches warfare against unbelievers.
Anyway, although he was rather restrained in our debate, Mubin Shaikh shares with his fellow Islamic supremacists a tendency toward arrogance, superciliousness, and vicious personal abuse of foes of jihad terror, despite his own activities against it. Recently he unleashed a jaw-dropping, foul-mouthed torrent of venom against another Canadian moderate Muslim, Tarek Fatah.
Now, I am no fan of Tarek Fatah: ironically, he shares Mubin Shaikh’s penchant for turning on and attacking those who are fighting for the cause to which he professes to adhere, and who should be his allies — notably, the courageous ex-Muslim Wafa Sultan. To be sure, Fatah slips in his rhetorical knives a trifle more elegantly than Mubin Shaikh can manage, but it amounts to the same thing.
Anyway, Mubin is apparently energized here by a recent ridiculous ruling against Ezra Levant in a Canadian libel case: other Leftist enemies of free speech have already referred to the case as a precedent they can use to silence all the foes of jihad terror. He threatens to sue Fatah, while pelting him with vulgar epithets, and issues a darker, less specific threat against Fatah’s followers: “take notice that I am your ENEMY in the truest sense of the word. Prepare yourselves accordingly.”
Anyway, here again we see a self-professed moderate Muslim consumed with hatred for someone who should, at least according to all external appearances, be his ally. It’s the same thing with Fatah’s abuse of Sultan (and others), and Maajid Nawaz’s attacks on Pamela Geller and me: if these moderates really stand for what they say they stand for, and oppose what they say they oppose, why do they so unleash these raging, frothing, spittle-flecked denunciations of those whom they should see as their allies?
And why are these people who profess to reject “hate” and to be filled with love so blisteringly hateful, as Mubin Shaikh shows himself to be here?

Hot, steaming piles of jihad issue from ‘moderate’ Muslims trying to convince us that they love kafirs. Allah has commanded them to ‘hate’ kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
It doesn’t matter if the kafir is likeable. Hate is a religious duty for a Muslim.

Prepared? Check!
Don McKellar says
With a religion whose texts are so steeped in violence and terror and hate, to which they bow and bang their heads 5 times a day, it is virtually impossible for any moslem not to be seething in anger, ready to explode, just beneath the surface. They all are. Every one a ticking time bomb. Most will not go off, but sooner or later many will explode — literally. It is the nature of Islam.
occupant 9 says
There seems to be a deep frustration in the disconnect for Muslims, who are told by their “religious” texts that they are “the best of people,” to be so obviously not so, in the worst of conditions, and only in the modern world through a parasytic relationship with the West.
I don’t know what Tarek Fatah’s game is but anyone who still finds something worthy in Mo’s “message” isn’t playing for us to win.
marc says
I don’t know what to make of this
is he back on the coke?
maybe trying to get back in with his jihadi brothers thinking he can pull off another toronto 18
or just an attention whore
could be just that the koran continues to rot his brain, and this should be expected
mortimer says
Mubin Shaikh has been taking university courses about Islam with his pay-off money (from the government) so that he can prove that he is ‘MORE-ISLAMIC-THAN-THOU’. Beyond all doubt, he is considered a traitor by Muslims since he participated in stinging a number of jihadists, so now he is trying to prove he is a secret jihadist, ready to murder deviationists, kafirs and apostates. He has clearly crossed the line and made an actual death threat. This note can be understood in no other way. He was and is what he pretends not to be: a lying conspiratorial jihadist. If he were in Pakistan, he would probably attempt a deadly attack on Mr. Fatah. As for coke, he was a drug addict for a year or two after his betrayal of his jihadist buddies. Never know what he’s ingesting, maybe bottles of vodka and rye. Most Muslims drink.
Robert Spencer says
Marc, my money is on the 3rd option, combined with an ever-simmering rage and hatred.
Darren says
As a lover of nature, sir I must ask what did these innocent sharks do to anyone to deserve having to eat muslim? You are liable to create a major problem in nature if you pollute the worlds oceans with muslims. Fukushima still spewing it’s radioactive goodness is bad enough, if you add polluting the worlds oceans with muslims you very well might kill all life in the ocean.
lebel says
It makes little sense for any Muslim to join or be supportive of a movement which believe his holy book to be evil and his prophet to be a murderous pedophile. One can be moderate and be against jihadwatch at the same time.
Mirren10 says
”It makes little sense for any Muslim to join or be supportive of a movement which believe his holy book to be evil and his prophet to be a murderous pedophile.”
It is not a question of belief, but facts. The koran says what it says, the hadith say what they say, and the sira says what it says.
And they say non-mohammedans are filthy kufr, islam must rule the world, mohammed himself declared he was made victorious by terror, and there are many detailed descriptions of mohammed murdering, torturing, raping, and thieving. mohammed ‘married’ a six year old child, and raped her when she was nine. That makes him a murderous paedophile.
Not all the twisted, convoluted apologia/denial in the world changes the facts.
voegelinian says
And those facts damn any given Muslim, no matter how friendly and moderate, or “ignorant of his own Islam” (or “hypocritical” as our PC MC Jihad Watcher mortimer likes to put it) they may seem to be. But many (if not most) Jihad Watchers don’t want to go there; they’d rather sit back in their comfort zone of braggadocio against Islam and ISIS, without pursuing the logic of the facts, the mountain of facts, the steaming volcano of facts that we sit on here, called Mt. Jihad Watch.
lebel says
Right so we all agree it makes little sense for any Muslim to join jihadwatch-like movements (except perhaps as way to infiltrate and fool the few naive jwatchers who still think that “moderate” Muslims exist.)
voegelinian says
They’re not so few, lebel.
voegelinian says
The biggest mistake (and costliest in terms of money, time, infrastructure destruction, and lives lost) in the last several major wars which the West has been embroiled in has been to fight the present war in the same manner as the last war was fought. This braggadocio about World War 2 is all fine and dandy, as long as we keep in mind the crucial differences of this current war we are in, compared with previous wars.
One of these crucial differences is a most curious one, worthy of an absurdist novel by a hybrid of Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Pynchon and Joseph Heller: namely, that one side of this current world war we are in doesn’t even know it’s in a world war, while its enemy knows all too well. Another crucial difference is that millions of the enemy have three characteristics that distinguish them from the enemies of previous modern wars:
1) millions of them are inside our societies, dispersed all over the place (so how are we going to “bomb” them?)
2) these millions of the enemy inside our societies enjoy (and cleverly exploit) our respect and our protection predicated upon our neurotically gullible desire to assimilate them. (This deference on our part that benefits our enemy would be irrational even if these millions were not part of an ideology hell-bent on our destruction; but becomes monstrously perverse and suicidally reckless (when not positively traitorous) given that these millions are in fact part of an ideology hell-bent on our destruction (innumerable members among which have already mass-murdered our citizens and plotted many more attacks to inflict more destruction and casualties on us).
3) This enemy inside our societies by the millions are deemed to be an Ethnic People (or a “diversity” of Ethnic Peoples) by our dominant and mainstream culture which has become heavily influenced in the past half century by Politically Correct Multi-Culturalism (PC MC). For the PC MC mindset, whenever ethnic minorities are involved in any situation or problem or conflict, it immediately triggers the hot buttons of White Guilt, and a whole litany of historical “shame” floods the heart and mind of the Westerner, who whenever he regards Muslims sees a sea of Brown People we must respect and protect, and never suspect of any wrongdoing – certainly not any systemic wrongdoing that would threaten our societies; for to do so would cause us to become “racist” and we would be compelled by our own Evil White Western logic to go down the road to putting these Brown People in detention camps and then of course genociding them (for that’s what we must do, given our Evil White Western DNA, you see) (SARC Maple Syrup Spigot Off).
Earlier, I said that there are “three characteristics that distinguish [this present enemy] from the enemies of previous modern wars”. In terms of these three and their interplay, particularly the third one, the West does have a recent precedent, and it brings up a dynamic of this current world war that reflects not so much our enemy, as it does ourselves – our PC MC, whose sociopolitical effects tend to benefit the strategy & tactics of our enemy, particularly his Stealth Jihad and his Demographic Jihad. These two Jihads constitute the subversive dimension of their war against us, whose connection with their Violent Jihad is cleverly camouflaged by them, and our PC MC culture ineptly benefits their clever camouflage, and we must assume they know this and are cleverly exploiting our PC MC culture in a variety of ways. As Stephen Coughlin put it: “We don’t know the enemy, and we don’t even know ourselves – and the enemy knows this.” The recent historical precedent I alluded to is the Internment of Japanese-American citizens during World War 2. Similarly then, there was an enemy who lived among us (most of whom were citizens of the U.S.A.); they were part of an ideology hell-bent on destroying us; and they were deemed to be an ethnic people. While the enemy back then, as fierce and ferocious as they were, were similar to our Muslim enemy, it is arguable that the Muslim enemy is much deadlier in the long run. At any rate, what stands out about this historical precedent is not so much the enemy, as ourselves: America in the 1940s was not so deeply compromised and corrupted by PC MC, and by and large (with only a small minority of opposition, mostly from Leftist and Communist-sympathizing voices), the majority the American people, the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the President (a flaming liberal) were on board with Internment. Not only would Internment today be unthinkable (even though, pace Wellington the JW Guardian of the Constitution, it was at the time deemed to be Constitutional and has never been deemed otherwise since that time), our PC MC culture has developed over the decades a positive industry of Shame and Guilt over that episode, and the higher Court of Political Correctness (more powerful even than the Supreme Court, apparently) has ruled that the Evil White United States violated the cosmic Commandment of Diversity; and we must pay, apparently, in a variety of ways – including by bending over backwards now to make sure we don’t “sacrifice diversity” against this new Ethnic People among us who show a mountain of signs of being our deadly enemy, deadlier even than the Japanese of the 1940s. (An indication of just how insidiously powerful PC MC has become may be gleaned from the fact that many even within the Counter-Jihad would recoil from the thought of actually approving of America’s episode of Internment, and would rather yield to their PC MC reflex spasm of condemning it, so they can stroke their ego of their Ethical Narcissism and feel their nagging anxiety of being an Evil White Westerner ever so slightly assuaged.)

guten Tag Herr Joseph Goebbels
Yes there is the white – brown PC thing, but get real voeg.
Why travel along that long convoluted path carrying the voeg manifesto of avoiding PC overlooks full of Brown People on mt. jihad when your intended conclusion can more easily be summarized into one erroneous sentence that claims that the real problem is actually Brown People and that Islam is secondary?
voegelinian says
Jay Boo is being obtuse; I have repeated many times that the racial dynamic I am describing is something the PC MC West indulges in — and as such, it’s stupid and wrong. But it’s nevertheless very influential, since the PC MCs dominate the cultural airwaves in our time.
voegelinian says
“…since the PC MCs dominate the cultural airwaves in our time.”
Indeed, so much so that a long-time Jihad Watch reader and staunch Counter-Jihadist, JayBoo, reveals his anxiously asymptotic (or is it dhimmitudinous…?) reflexes. And he is by no means alone in this; not by a long shot (I’ve learned, through my aggrieved and dismayed experience in JW comments over the years).

I guess the “so called” Religion Of Peace has no teaching about Respecting Your Elders.Shame on you Mubin ! Threatening senior citizens in wheelchairs ; and I’m suppose to respect Islam ! Am I to assume from your example that Islam is a religion for “ball less ” , ” insecure ” , men , who compensate by bulling senior citizens .Grow some balls you little girl .
