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

Pakistan: State-supported Islamic seminary boasts of how many jihad terrorists are among its alumni

Nov 18, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

Why is it that the teachers in this seminary seem to miss all the peaceful teachings of the Qur’an and Islam in general that are so crystal clear and obvious to non-Muslims such as Pope Francis, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, John Kerry, et al? Will any of these leaders or others like them travel to […]

Trump to order significant troop cuts in Afghanistan and Iraq

Nov 18, 2020 12:00 am By Robert Spencer 62 Comments

This is long overdue and is simple common sense: are we going to stay in Afghanistan and Iraq forever? McConnell and McCaul are completely out of touch. It is not the responsibility of the United States to ensure that other nations have good governments. It is the responsibility of the United States to defend itself […]

Afghanistan: Taliban shoots woman and gouges out her eyes for getting a job

Nov 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 23 Comments

Where are the feminists and human rights defenders all over the West who boast about protecting the equality of rights of women? They are absent in this obscene case, just as they are absent when it comes to defending religious freedom in the face of the Muslim persecution of Christians and other religious minorities. The […]

Islamic Republic of Iran deports nearly 40,000 refugees back to Afghanistan in August alone

Sep 26, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

Only Europe and North America have a moral obligation to take in migrants, on pain of charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia.” “81,000 refugees returned from Iran in August,” Afghanistan Times, September 23, 2020 (thanks to Henry): KABUL: More than 81,000 Afghan refugees returned home from Iran within one last month, authorities said. Mohammad Reza Bahir, […]

Afghanistan: Many Taliban recently freed from Afghanistan prisons have rejoined the jihad

Sep 25, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

What did the mainstream analysts expect they would do? Become stockbrokers? But this does not mean we should continue the failed attempt at “nation-building” in Afghanistan. The American troops should all come home, and efforts devoted to quarantining Afghan jihadis in Afghanistan so that they can’t wage their jihad outside of that country. “Many freed […]

Turkey’s Erdogan-allied Aktif Bank reportedly facilitated money transfers for Taliban

Sep 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 8 Comments

A short-sighted focus on the bottom line, or a deep ideological kinship? Or both? “Turkey’s Aktif Bank facilitated money transfers for Taliban, porn industry – report,” Ahval News, September 21, 2020 (thanks to Henry): FinCEN Files, a number of leaked classified documents from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, shed a light on Turkey’s Aktif […]

Afghanistan talks: Taliban demand ‘Islamic system,’ existing government insists political system is ‘fully Islamic’

Sep 22, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

In Afghanistan, it was the “Islamic system,” i.e., Sharia principles, that led the Taliban to join forces with al-Qaeda to wage jihad against the U.S. government, culminating in the 9/11 jihad attacks. Now all these years later, the two sides in the ongoing “peace negotiations” are arguing over which will implement Sharia most faithfully. The […]

Afghanistan gets seat at UN Commission on the Status of Women, dedicated to promotion of gender equality

Sep 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 32 Comments

Because if there is anything Afghanistan is known for, it is gender equality and the championing of the rights of women. This article is full of people saying how good this will be for women in Afghanistan, but it is much more likely to whitewash the plight of women in Afghanistan. The UN is more […]

Islamic Republic of Iran paid bounties to Taliban for targeting American troops in Afghanistan

Aug 26, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is one of the reasons why Qasem Soleimani was killed. And remember the storm of outrage with which the establishment media and the Leftist political elites greeted the news that he had been taken out. “US intelligence indicates Iran paid bounties to Taliban for targeting American troops in Afghanistan,” by Zachary Cohen, CNN, August […]

Afghanistan: Eight Muslims killed when the bomb they were manufacturing in a mosque blows up

Aug 21, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A mosque? Why didn’t the mosquegoers explain to those storing this materiel that Islam was a religion of peace and that they shouldn’t thus desecrate a house of worship? No doubt that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Chahabar Bolak now to explain to the leaders of this mosque that […]

Sweden: Court overturns Muslim migrant’s conviction for child rape, ruling he didn’t know the girl’s real age (13)

Aug 12, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The victim met the rapist on social media. Rapes have increased to epidemic proportions in countries including Sweden, Germany and the UK, correlated to the rise of Muslim migration. Germany was forced to put up signs at swimming pools, warning migrants that sexual touching was not acceptable in German society. And while some may argue […]

Afghanistan: Government to release 400 ‘hard-core’ Taliban prisoners in bid to start peace talks

Aug 10, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Releasing 400 Taliban jihadis doesn’t herald peace talks, but surrender talks. It has been a foregone conclusion for years that the Taliban would take over Afghanistan after the Americans left, but that is not an argument for keeping American troops in Afghanistan perpetually. The military should focus on making sure that Afghanistan does not and […]

Afghanistan: Muslim who detonated jihad suicide car bomb had recently graduated from medical school

Aug 7, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This will come as a surprise to those — and they are legion — who assume that poverty causes terrorism. In reality, that claim is just a pretext for Western nations to write more checks to governments of Muslim countries. It’s demonstrably false. The New York Times reported that “not long after the attacks of […]

Afghanistan: Muslims murder 17 with Eid al-Adha car bomb blast

Aug 2, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Attacks of this kind, in which the victims were Muslims, are often cited as evidence that the jihadis aren’t true Muslims. But the Muslims who were killed in this bombing were, in the eyes of the perpetrators, heretics or apostates. And so, under Islamic law, they deserved death. “Afghanistan: At least 17 killed in Eid […]

Taliban leader says the group is ‘on the threshold of establishing an Islamic government’ in Afghanistan

Aug 2, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

This is happening while mainstream analysts continue to insist that groups such as the Taliban have nothing to do with Islam. The global jihad never tires, never stops. After 1400 years, this should be abundantly clear. In seeking its own interests while attempting to humiliate the United States, the Taliban leader Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada “asserted […]

Afghanistan: Taliban murder 170 people in 17 attacks on mosques and gurudwaras since last October

Jul 21, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Jihadi attacks on mosques are often invoked by mainstream counterterror analysts and Islamic apologists (if there is a difference there) as evidence that the jihadis are themselves un-Islamic. Actually, jihadis attack mosques because they consider the people in them to be insufficiently Islamic, or to be heretics or apostates in some way. “Afghanistan- 442 killed, […]

India offers safety to Hindus and Sikhs who are victims of jihad attacks in Afghanistan

Jul 21, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The most recent attack was a six-hour siege by Islamic State militants on a Sikh temple and housing complex in Kabul that left 25 people dead, including young children.” But in the international establishment media, India, not Afghanistan, will get criticized for this. Giving these persecuted people refuge is “Islamophobic.” “India Offers Safety to Afghan […]

Taliban deny Russia paid them to kill US troops: “Jihad of the Islamic Emirate not indebted to any foreign country”

Jul 2, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“We strongly reject this allegation. The nineteen-year Jihad of the Islamic Emirate is not indebted to the beneficence of any intelligence organ or foreign country and neither is the Islamic Emirate in need of anyone in specifying objectives.” Here again we see jihadis referring to their activities in strictly Islamic terms, while Islam is the […]

Afghanistan: Muslims launch “deliberate attacks” against health care workers and facilities during pandemic

Jun 22, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Following the attack on the Kabul maternity hospital, Doctors Without Borders decided last week to end its operations in Kabul.” The jihadis’ hatred of the presence and influence of unbelievers ensures that Afghanistan will remain a third-world nation. “UN special report documents ‘deliberate attacks’ against Afghan health-care workers,” Associated Press, June 21, 2020 (thanks to […]
