This denial of what the jihad terrorists themselves explain is their guiding ideology, as if they don’t mean what they say or don’t understand their own religion, is hamstringing the West’s response to the jihad terror threat. With this willful ignorance, Cameron is leading his country to ruin. “Cameron: ‘This is not Islam; it’s a […]

Kuwait mosque bomber screamed “Allahu akbar” before detonating his explosives
“Dealing with what’s happening requires going back to the root causes, which means tackling the ideology,” said Ghanem Nuseibeh. That is true, but in the U.S., John Kerry, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and everyone else in positions of political power and influence assure us that the ideology that inspires attacks such as these is absolutely […]
Muslim MP: “British Muslims have nothing to apologise for when it comes to Islamic terrorism”
“Bolton MP Yasmin Querishi [sic] — who is a Pakistani-born Muslim — drew a comparison with the Charleston shooting last week, saying that, as white people didn’t have to apologise for the deaths, so Muslims shouldn’t have to apologise for Islamic terrorism.” This is so out of place as to be outrageous. Apologies are only a first step, […]
Vatican validates jihad terror, signs treaty recognizing State of Palestine
There is no “State of Palestine” at this time. This is part of the ongoing pressure upon Israel to create one. Creating one will be a great victory for the global jihad force, as a “State of Palestine” will inevitably be a new jihad base for renewed attacks against what remains of Israel. Events will […]
Wife of France jihad killer: “We are normal Muslims. We do Ramadan.”
Her husband has done Ramadan in a grand fashion this year. In any case, her statement is refreshing: apparently the journos found her before the local imam could be found to say that he knew Salhi only slightly, and that the killer never came to the mosque and wasn’t a good Muslim. “Yassin Salhi: Everything […]
Tunisia: Islamic State jihadis murder at least 27 at resort hotels
The majority of the victims appear to have been British Infidels on vacation, sure that all would be well since, after all, it is a Religion of Peace. “At least 27 tourists dead in Tunisian hotel attacks as gunmen ‘shoot people on sunbeds’ along beach packed with western holidaymakers,” by Thomas Burrows and John Hall, […]
Kuwait: Islamic State murders 13 in jihad suicide attack at Shi’ite mosque
Ramadan is in full swing today, with jihad strikes in France, Kuwait and Tunisia. Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Suicide attack claimed by ISIS kills 13 at Kuwait Shiite mosque,” Reuters, June 26, 2015: DUBAI: Militant group ISIS claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on a Shiite mosque in Kuwait that killed 13 people, according a statement […]
France: President of gas factory targeted in Islamic State attack is Shi’ite Iranian
Could its Shia leadership have been why it was targeted by members of the Islamic State, a Sunni group that has declared jihad against Shi’ites as well as against the West (and particularly France)? Or was it targeted simply because it is a gas factory, and the pious killers were hoping for a gas explosion […]
France: Loud explosion as Muslims with Islamic State flags storm factory, behead man
“The person arrested was allegedly carrying a flag of the Islamic State and he said he was a member of the IS.” The Islamic State has, of course, declared that it would be carrying out jihad attacks in the West, and has called for attacks in particular against the “spiteful and filthy French.” It has […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Where’s the Pope’s Encyclical on Christian Persecution?
Pope Francis recently released a new encyclical. Portions of it deal with environmentalism, global warming, and climate change. Naturally, this has prompted controversy. It’s noteworthy that Francis didn’t merely make a passing comment on global warming during this or that sermon, but that he issued a papal encyclical on the matter. Encyclicals are much more formal and […]
Author of “counter terrorism curriculum” advocates murder for blasphemy
A chink in Qadri’s moderate armor. Of course, I could have told you this would happen. “The author of the ‘counter terrorism curriculum’ advocates murder for blasphemy,” by Kunwar Shahid, June 25, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): After the UK’s youngest suicide bomber, 17-year-old Talha Asmal blew himself up while waging the jihad […]
Obama offers Iran high-tech nuclear reactors after Iranians chant “Death to America”
What could possibly go wrong? “AP Exclusive: Iran would get nuclear help in proposed deal,” by George Jahn, Associated Press, June 24, 2015: VIENNA (AP) — Western powers are offering Tehran high-tech reactors under a proposed nuclear agreement, a confidential document says, but a defiant speech by Iran’s supreme leader less than a week before […]
“Palestinian” sports teams named after jihadis who murdered Israeli civilians
But deep down, they really, really want peace. “Palestinian sports teams named after terrorists,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, June 25, 2015: During the month of Ramadan, Palestinian youth will be playing a football tournament in the Palestinian town Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem. Some of the participants will be […]
Leading Muslim body calls airing of Muhammad cartoons “odious terrorist act”
A lack of perspective and common sense that increasingly afflicts not just al-Azhar, but the entire world. Just for the record: drawing or publishing or displaying cartoons is an innocuous act by any objective standard. Murdering people who do those things — that’s an odious terrorist act. “Key Muslim body Al-Azhar condemns ‘sick’ Mohammed cartoons,” […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Insincere Apology
How can a jihadi repent for his jihad? My latest in FrontPage: “Tsarnaev apologizes for Boston Marathon bombing,” trumpeted the Boston Globe Wednesday, and certainly the young jihad murderer talked a good game: “I would like to apologize to the victims and the survivors,” he said. “I am sorry for the lives I have taken, […]
Nigeria: Sharia court sentences two to death for blasphemy against Muhammad
In the free and enlightened West, we don’t kill people for blaspheming Muhammad. We just assassinate their character and call them “racists,” “bigots” and “Islamophobes,” and imply that Islamic jihad murderers are justified in stalking and hunting them. It is wonderful to live in the free world. “Kano Sharia Court Sentences Two To Death For […]
Pakistan’s government won’t abolish blasphemy law because it “fears the reaction of extremists”
All over the world, the principle is being reinforced: terrorism works. To get what you want, threaten violence, and the “free world” will jump to comply with your wishes. And Archbishop Coutts’ brother bishops in the U.S. are pursuing an illusory and self-defeating “dialogue” even to the extent of silencing those voices that speak honestly […]
Strategies of Denial Revisited (Part I)
Six years ago I delivered a talk I titled “Strategies of Denial.” As it did not appear at Jihad Watch but at another site, New English Review, many who come here may not have seen it. And since what I noted at that time does not date, I am taking the liberty of reprinting it […]
Are fake virus warnings a new method to disrupt free speech?
This has been driving me nuts: Avast, an Anti-Virus product that I have in the past recommended, has been flagging JihadWatch.org as having malware, with warnings such as “Infection Blocked,” “Avast WebShield has blocked a harmful web page or file,” and “A threat has been detected.” Of course, this is not true. There is no virus. […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Christian Carnage and Western Indifference
Gatestone Institute Note: The following represents some of the persecution Christians experienced at the hands of Muslims during the month of April, 2015 alone. After reading this, ask yourself how Western media, politicians, and other foolish talking heads would react if Muslims experienced the same sort and amount of persecution at the hands of Christians […]
