Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Mar 21, 2016 7:30 am By Robert Spencer

“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, that generally means that Muslims are the most intense of the people in animosity toward the Jews.

    The targetting of Jews by ISIS is meant to ‘play to the choir’ of jihad-loving Muslims which is about 15% of all Muslims or about 250 million. Those are the Muslims most likely to increase there financial support or participate in actual killings.

    Whenever Muslim dictators are losing support in their countries, they play the ‘Jew-hatred card’ and attack Jewish civilians to show they are more-Islamic-than-thou!

    Why is Jew hatred considered the most Islamic thing you can do? It is the sacred example of Mohammed. ‘Good’ Muslims must imitate Mohammed’s murderous hatred.

    Scratch a Muslim by mentioning Israel and you’ll find his level of commitment to Islam. ‘Cultural Muslims’ (non-practicing) couldn’t care less, but they count for less than 35% of Muslims. Many of them are secret apostates.

      Jews everywhere need to be aware that ISIS is encouraging the targeting of Jews.

      Whether Jewish or not, ALL WESTERNERS are now on the front line of jihad. Jihadists have shown no fear or concern whether their victims are civilians, children, worshippers, politicians or military in or out of uniform.

      Please everyone. We are all targets. We have to let Muslims know we are aware of what they are doing and not doing to stop the jihad.

      Ordinary Germans did nothing to stop the Holocaust even if they were well aware of it.

      We must tell our politicians our concerns before its too late to do anything.

        All Muslims are taught to hate All the Jews, Christians n Infidels whom Allah said so in the Koran.

        All Muslims are taught to use Taqqiya (Lies) to All mankind.

        All 85% Muslims Never read the whole book of Koran n Hadiths in their whole Life.

        All Muslims Never met Allah face to face before. Allah appeared with Fears to all Muslims.

        All Muslims Do Not Experience the Presence of Allah’s True Love at all.

    Muhammad the arab killed Jews. Muhammad the arab is the best example of conduct for muslims. Mehmet Ozturk (the turk) killed Jews. Gee, I wonder why?…

    more people died than 3 plus up to 100 in Ankara in the past few weeks…we are at war with terror. Mr Spencer only focuses on the Jewish casualties totally ignoring all the Turkish casualties incl those poor souls murdered in Ankara – in order to push his anti Islam agenda. Really Mr Spencer? could one’s anti Turkish bias be anymore obvious (regardless of whatever the religious denomination of the murdered Turkish nationals) ? Shame on you Mr Spencer

      The TAK bombings? This is Jihad Watch, not “Dead Turks Watch”. Why are you conflating Kurdish terrorists with ISIS? Also:

      How to Read News 101:

      Headline: “Report: Istanbul terrorist followed Israelis from hotel,””

      Authors: Yedidya Ben-Or, Arutz Sheva

      “Really Mr Spencer? could one’s anti Turkish bias be anymore obvious”

      Except for the, you know, other articles on this website mentioning terrorist attacks in Turkey. Like this one you’re commenting on.

      “(regardless of whatever the religious denomination of the murdered Turkish nationals)”

      That makes no sense. Well, unless you were trying to discredit what you wrote previously, in which case, great job, buddy!
