“A French-backed scheme was launched in 2015 with the goal of deploying a 5,000-man joint force among five nations in the front line. But lack of funding and training, as well as poor equipment, have greatly undermined the initiative, and last June the force’s headquarters in Mali were hit in a devastating suicide attack claimed […]
Mali: Muslims murder 10 Chadian UN peacekeepers in revenge for Chad-Israel ties
The murdered Chadians had nothing to do with Chad’s ties with Israel, but that made no difference to these jihad murderers. While Muslim spokesmen in the West frequently whine about being held responsible for acts they did not commit (which rarely, if ever, happens in reality), jihadists frequently operate on the basis of the idea […]
Airstrike kills jihad terrorist behind USS Cole bombing in 2000
Many believe that the killing of high profile figures in al-Qaeda and other jihad groups will leave the groups rudderless and take away the enthusiasm of the rank and file. These analysts do not understand that these groups are motivated not by attachment to a charismatic leader or revered hero, but by a religious ideology. […]
The Danger of the Muslim Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood was the first to mobilize the modern-day jihad in Afghanistan, when the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader in Egypt sent an envoy named Kamal al-Sananiri to Pakistan. Kamal was in Saudi Arabia, where he met the Palestinian Brotherhood leader Abdullah Azzam and persuaded him to travel to Islamabad. From there, Azzam became director of […]
Oklahoma: Muslim who attended flight school also attended al-Qaeda training camp
What could possibly have gone wrong? Only greasy Islamophobes would look askance at a Muslim who went to an al-Qaeda training camp also attending a flight school, right? “Saudi citizen residing in Oklahoma pleads guilty to visa fraud and concealing attendance at al Qaeda training camp,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, December 14, 2018: OKLAHOMA […]
Turkey: Al-Qaeda promoter operates bookstore, sells jihadist books openly with no government interference
“Osman Akyıldız, a known figure among radical groups, was in fact investigated on charges of terrorism with respect to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). But just like many jihadist cases in Turkey, he was quickly released thanks to the political cover provided by the Islamist government of President Recep […]
Alabama: 22-year-old Muslima worked to facilitate support for al-Qaeda
Where did Alaa Mohd Abusaad learn her understanding of Islam? Has her mosque in Alabama been investigated? Why not? Would it be “Islamophobic” to do so? American authorities are betting the future of the United States on the assumption that Muslims here will, perhaps with one or two minor exceptions, assimilate, accept American values, and […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part Two)
Meanwhile, AQAP (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) continues to operate in Yemen, and its ranks are replenished, both from local converts and from AQAP members who have flocked to the country from outside. AQAP, whose member are uber-Sunnis, have been fighting the Shi’a Houthis, even as they continue to denounce and threaten their most important […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part One)
Amid all over the furor over the possible murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi regime thugs, it is useful to remember that in Yemen, the Saudi-UAE forces that have been fighting against the Shi’a Houthis, backed by Iran, are naturally supported by the Americans. Iran is our declared mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia — […]
Al-Qaeda leader: “America the number one enemy of Muslims,” calls on Muslims to attack US
Marking the 17th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, “called on Muslims to wage war against the United States throughout the world.” He stated that the U.S. was “the number one enemy of Muslims” because of “Washington’s transfer of its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.” This […]
Syria: Muslims murder 10 Christians, injure 20 in assault on Christian town
“Islamophobia” is a subject of international concern. The persecuted Christians in majority-Muslim countries? Not so much. “10 Killed, 20 Wounded in Assault on Syrian Christian Town,” by Claire Evans, International Christian Concern, September 11, 2018: 09/11/2018 Washington D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on September 7-8, 2018, several missiles were reportedly fired […]
Catholic Relief Services distributed US food aid to al-Qaeda jihadists in Syria
Why not? It’s a religion of peace! Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror. During the meeting, al-Issa thanked the Pope for his “fair positions” on […]
Osama bin Laden’s mother: “He was a very good child until he met some people who pretty much brainwashed him”
The timing of this effort to distance the Saudi government from Osama is interesting. It has been almost 17 years since 9/11; why now? This is another manifestation of the attempt by the Saudis to court US support, and particularly to court Donald Trump’s support, against Iran, as well as to make the kingdom more […]
Cleveland: Muslim plotted jihad mass murder on Fourth of July
Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion calls upon him to commit treason and mass murder. Authorities remain resolutely incurious about this recurring phenomenon. An update on this story. “FBI details suspected Fourth of July terrorist plot for downtown Cleveland,” by Adam Ferrise and Evan MacDonald, Cleveland.com, July 2, 2018: […]
FBI: 1,000 homegrown jihad terror investigations active in US, not counting Islamic State and al-Qaeda suspects
“Outreach to the community.” Yeah, that’ll work. Hasn’t it worked beautifully since 9/11? Meanwhile, hampering these investigations is the fact that even now, the clueless and compromised FBI includes no study of the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists in its counterterror training. It is working in the dark, and the consequences will inevitably be…explosive. “FBI […]
Al-Qaeda top dog calls for jihad against U.S. as embassy opens in Jerusalem
American officials have always counseled appeasement in the face of this intimidation: give the jihadis what they want, and maybe they won’t hurt us. That course of action, however, only encourages more intimidation. President Trump is right to call a halt to such appeasement, and to stand strong. “Al-Qaeda Terrorist Leader Calls for Jihad Against […]
Al-Qaeda top dog: “Jihad” is the “effective way” to defeat US, goal is to restore caliphate
Doubtless Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nihad Awad and Ibrahim Hooper are on their way now to visit Zawahiri and explain to him that jihad just means dropping off the kids at school and getting to the gym regularly. “He goes on to identify the primary goal of al-Qaeda’s jihad as restoring the ‘rightly guided Caliphate’ and all […]
New York: Muslim gets 45 years for al-Qaeda bomb plot against US troops in Afghanistan
Muhanad Mahmoud al Farekh’s family pleaded on his behalf, saying that “he is a wonderful person, loving, caring, kind.” Meanwhile, Federal Prosecutor Richard Tucker more accurately described al-Farekh during closing arguments: “This guy is for real and he is a bad guy….He is an honest-to-goodness al-Qaeda bad guy.” Al-Farekh is a zealous, murderous jihadi, from […]
Jihad terrorist enjoys Rosetta Stone classes, Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos at Gitmo
The U.S. military’s Guantánamo Bay detention center is continuously rewarding an al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-prosecution witness with a “comfortable cabin-style” life of luxury that allows him to garden, paint, exercise, learn English on a personal laptop, cook meals, and even watch American sitcoms, reports the Miami Herald. Courtesy of the infidel taxpayers, and the fine menu includes: […]
Oklahoma: Muslim who attended flight school also participated in al-Qaeda jihad training camp
“Mr. Alfallaj, 34, used a fraudulent visa to take private flying lessons in October 2016 in Oklahoma.” No one at the flight school would have dared look more deeply into Alfallaj’s background. That would have brought Hamas-linked CAIR and “Islamophobia” charges down upon them faster than Adam Schiff on an anti-Trump rumor. “Saudi Who Attended […]
