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

Al-Qaeda Calls on Jihadis to Kill Non-Muslims With Poisoned Coronavirus Masks

Dec 4, 2020 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

My latest in PJ Media: If you’re tired of wearing a visible sign of massive government overreach and ginned-up hysteria everywhere you go, do not despair. Help could be on its way, courtesy of the most unlikely source: al-Qaeda. According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the jihad group is refusing to accept […]

Al-Qaeda urges Muslims to give out poisoned masks and kill ‘Crusaders who are hostile and belligerent towards Islam’

Dec 3, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 29 Comments

Al-Qaeda speaks of killing “unbelievers,” especially those who are “hostile and belligerent towards Islam.” Don’t they know that their ideology has nothing to do with Islam? Why doesn’t Sajid Javid publish an explanation, based on the Qur’an and Sunnah, of how their ideology is a twisted version of Islam? This explanation could be used to […]

New Jersey woman charged with transferring money to jihad terrorist in Syria with whom she had ‘relationship’

Nov 27, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 21 Comments

It was all for love: “The FBI affidavit alleged that Bell regularly used encrypted apps to communicate with a Nusra member with whom she had an online relationship.” “American woman charged with transferring money to Syria-based terrorists,” Reuters, November 25, 2020: U.S. federal prosecutors have charged a New Jersey woman with concealing multiple efforts to […]

Several sources claim that al-Qaeda top dog Zawahiri has died of natural causes in Afghanistan

Nov 22, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 15 Comments

This may be true, but people like al-Zawahiri tend to die more than once. Take, for example, the Islamic State’s caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. He was reported seriously injured or dead several times before he was actually killed in 2019: Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi said to be severely injured, flees to Syria July 5, 2014 […]

State Department says al-Qaeda is on the ropes, nearly eight years after Obama said it was on the ropes

Nov 19, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 14 Comments

In January 2013, Barack Obama said: “We achieved our central goal — or have come very close to achieving our central goal, which is to de-capacitate al-Qaeda, to dismantle them, to make sure that they can’t attack us again.” He said this, by the way, in the context of the war in Afghanistan, which so […]

Nov 15, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 30 Comments

We have just learned, on November 13, of the killing in Iran on August 7 of Al-Qaeda’s No. 2 man, Abu Muhammad al-Masri, who was assassinated by Israeli agents at the request, according to all reports, of the American government.

Turkish al-Qaeda group operating out of Azerbaijan led by founder of an Islamic charity

Nov 14, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities. “Turkish al-Qaeda group operating out of Azerbaijan led by IHH charity founder,” by Abdullah Bozkurt, Nordic Monitor, November 9, 2020: A Turkish al-Qaeda […]

Al-Qaeda: ‘Killing the one who insults the prophet is the right of every Muslim capable of enforcing it’

Nov 7, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 5 Comments

Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and their sympathizers are on a violent campaign to destroy the freedom of speech and put an end once and for all to “insulting” Muhammad cartoons. ISIS urged jihadis to “spill the blood of Crusaders” in “revenge” for cartoons in an “incendiary campaign” following the Vienna shooting, in which Islamic State […]

India: Teacher at Islamic school arrested for being part of al-Qaeda cell

Nov 5, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 8 Comments

Abdul Momin Mondal was a teacher in Raipur Darul Huda Islamia Madrassa. How is it that this man who had clearly dedicated a considerable amount of time to understanding Islam correctly and communicating it properly could have so misunderstood the Religion of Peace as to think it called upon him to commit acts of violence […]

Mali: Muslims murder Swiss Christian missionary they were holding hostage

Oct 19, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 25 Comments

Jihadists kidnapped Swiss Christian missionary Beatrice Stoeckli twice. She was accused of proselytizing for Christianity and was threatened with execution. Now she has indeed been murdered. The Muslim persecution of Christians continues throughout Africa at genocidal proportions. This persecution focuses primarily on native Christians, but the murder of Stockly demonstrates that foreigners aren’t safe, either. […]

Burkino Faso: Muslims ambush convoy carrying displaced civilians, murder 25 of them

Oct 11, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 11 Comments

The U.N. stated in January that the region has been experiencing “an “unprecedented” rise in violence related to jihad terrorism. Jihadists, “some with links to the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, have been waging larger, more sophisticated attacks and are expanding into new territory.” Despite the murder, the displacement of innocents and the suffering, none of […]

Switzerland: Four Muslim migrants arrested on suspicion of ties to the Islamic State and al-Qaeda

Oct 6, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 4 Comments

Remember: anyone who opposes the mass Muslim migrant influx is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” There can be no other reason for doing so. “Swiss arrest 4 suspected of ties to Islamic State, al-Qaida,” Associated Press, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): BERLIN (AP) – Authorities in Switzerland say they have arrested four people on suspicion […]

Ex-CIA chief: ‘Very difficult to believe that there wasn’t somebody in Pakistan who was aware’ of Osama’s compound

Oct 6, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

Indeed. This sham alliance is self-defeating for the US and should have been ended long ago. “US did not share Osama bin Laden’s location with Pakistan due to lack of trust: Ex-CIA chief Panetta,” PTI, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): …Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist and the then al-Qaeda chief, was […]

France: 29 Muslims arrested in connection with jihad terror financing scheme

Oct 2, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 10 Comments

European Union countries, particularly open door, globalist ones, are in serious risk of completely losing control of jihadis and those who aid and abet them in their midst. The consequences of the EU’s suicidal immigration policy will be increasingly costly on many fronts for decades to come. Still, the stubborn, reckless EU leaders are busy […]

India: Islamic State jihadis target Christian women via ‘love jihad,’ entice 21 to join the jihad terror group

Sep 21, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community, and that because that is a good outcome, any means, including deception, may be pursued in order to attain it. In this case, the “love jihad” went even farther, […]

Al-Qaeda top dog Zawahiri calls Trump peace plan ‘Crusade of the Century’

Sep 17, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

Zawahiri has a single paradigm through which he sees the world, and that is of valiant jihadis defending the umma against rapacious Crusaders. Peace is bad for his business, as it is for so many others as well, and he will do his best to disrupt it. “In New Video, Al-Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri Describes […]

July 26: Islamic State urges US Muslims to ‘monitor well for a place you can set a fire without drawing attention’

Sep 15, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 43 Comments

With all the fires in California and other Western states nowadays, it is useful to recall that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have for years been advocating using fires as a tool of jihad. As some Leftists have already been arrested for setting the fires, so in this yet again, the methods and goals of […]

Al-Qaeda threatens Charlie Hebdo with ‘2015 like massacre’ over republication of Muhammad cartoons

This is the showdown for the West. Will free societies bow to violent threats and willingly give up the freedom of speech? Or will they defend that freedom?

Minnesota: Muslima admits to setting fires at university, trying to join al-Qaeda

Aug 30, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

At St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota, Tnuza Jamal Hassan called upon Muslim students to “join the jihad in fighting” and to “join Al Qaeda, Taliban, or Al Shabaab.” She set a series of fires around the campus, and said she wanted to “hurt people.” In response, students at St. Catherine University said: “St. […]

Canada: Convicted jihad terrorist arrested for second time since release from prison

Aug 26, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Parole Board of Canada warned prior to his release there was no evidence Mohamed had abandoned extremist beliefs and said it was concerned he would continue to commit terrorist crimes.” Why, then, was he released? But it’s no surprise that his views hadn’t changed. Nothing, nothing whatsoever, was done while they were in prison […]
