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

Muslims arrested on suspicion of terror acts, cleric says “extremists have used Qur’an to portray Islam as violent”

Oct 29, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Extremist groups have used the Koran to portray Islam as a violent religion intolerant of other faiths. There is nowhere in the scriptures that says you must kill another person to go to paradise.” Indeed, it doesn’t say that you must kill another person to go to paradise. But that is a straw man. Here […]

Sweden: Muslim migrants sending their kids home to avoid their becoming “Westernized,” some join jihad groups

Oct 10, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Then the trained jihadis return to Sweden and are admitted without any hesitation. Western officials are being played for fools, and they’re too afraid of charges of “Islamophobia” to admit it to themselves. “Sweden Sounds the Alarm Over Migrant Kids Sent to Africa to Avoid Them Becoming ‘Westernised,’” Sputnik, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The […]

Somalia: “The mujahideen stormed the military complex, engaging the crusaders in an intense firefight”

Sep 30, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Those opposing the U.S. and its allies call themselves jihadis and their foes crusaders. The U.S., meanwhile, denies that they are crusaders, which is fair enough, and that its opponents are jihadis, which is pure wishful thinking. To refuse to understand the enemy’s perspective is to bring defeat upon oneself. “Jihadists ‘Storm’ U.S. Air Base, […]

Ethiopia: Muslims plotted jihad massacres in public areas, religious events and hotels

Sep 28, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Several days, when I posted this news item about churches being burned in Ethiopia, I was swarmed by Ethiopians and others on Twitter, telling me that I was an enemy of all that is good, warning me to “stay out of Ethiopia” — hey, no problem there — and claiming that there wasn’t really a […]

Minneapolis: Muslim migrant took journalist captive, threatened to sell him to jihad group if ransom wasn’t paid

Abdi Y. Hassan entered the United States in 2015. Obama assured us that migrants were properly vetted. They weren’t. “Somali-born U.S. citizen arrested in Minneapolis, charged with taking journalist captive,” by Paul Walsh and Liz Sawyer, Star Tribune, February 22, 2019: A U.S. citizen is jailed in central Minnesota and charged with participating in the […]

Somalia: Muslims murder 11, injure 10 with car bomb at busy shopping mall

Feb 5, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why target people at a shopping mall? In order to strike terror in the hearts, as Allah commands in the Qur’an: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do […]

A Kenyan says Somali Muslims come to Europe “for your free benefits which are paid out with your taxpayers’ money”

Dec 20, 2018 10:36 am By Joshua Winston

I had the pleasure of interviewing a Kenyan on the question of why Europe is being flooded with African, and specifically Somali, men. I cannot name him because you know how hair-trigger these people can be when you mention their religion. Here is what he said: Thank you! I am from Kenya and currently reside here. […]

Somalia: Muslims murder Islamic leader and at least 17 of his followers for playing music

Nov 26, 2018 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, but it’s nonetheless true: Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or […]

Somalia: Muslims set off two jihad suicide bombs at Mogadishu hotel, murdering 20

Nov 9, 2018 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Several killed in suicide bomb attack in Somali capital,” France 24, November 9, 2018: Suicide attackers set off two car bombs at […]

Kenya: Muslims storm school, murder Christian teachers

Oct 17, 2018 6:46 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Over 20 suspected Al Shabaab jihadis in Mandera County (on Kenya’s border with Somalia) stormed into a housing complex “where non-local teachers live” and detonated a bomb, which instantly killed two Christian teachers. Two other Christian teachers managed to escape. Jihadists have routinely terrorized local churches and schools where Christian teachers are found. The world […]

Kenya: Muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” stones three Christians to death

Sep 27, 2018 2:15 pm By Robert Spencer

“Fredrick was on top of a new house he was contracted to build. His two assistants were on the ground mixing mortar when the mob arrived in [a] hurry, chanting takbir, takbir, takbir. From a distance, I saw the men hurling construction stones towards Fredrick and his coworkers.” The takbir is “Allahu akbar,” i.e., Allah […]

Kenya: Muslims murder two non-Muslims for failing to recite the Qur’an

Sep 15, 2018 3:13 pm By Robert Spencer

“There were three non-locals who were ordered to recite the Shahada. One had lived with locals all his life so he was able to read and was freed.” The Shahada is the first chapter and most common prayer of the Qur’an. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when the Muslim in Minnesota who asked […]

Convert to Islam from UK recruiting jihad suicide bombers to attack popular British tourist hotspots

Jul 15, 2018 7:30 pm By Robert Spencer

If British authorities had any concern for the survival of their nation as a free society, they would be studying the combination of factors in British society that led to the trajectory of Samantha Lewthwaite’s life. They would be examining the appeal of Islam to contemporary Britons, the phenomenon of conversion to Islam, why so […]

Somalia: Muslim murders nine in jihad suicide bombing at interior ministry building

Jul 7, 2018 8:01 pm By Robert Spencer

African Union Mission in Somalia condemned the attack, saying: “#AMISOM strongly condemns this morning’s attack on the premises of the Ministry of Interior in #Mogadishu. The terrorists prove once again their disregard for the stability and progress of #Somalia.” Of course they disregard the stability and progress of Somalia. They want to destabilize it, so […]

Ramadan in Somalia: Muslims murder U.S. soldier, injure four others in firefight

Jun 10, 2018 11:58 am By Robert Spencer

“The troops had been on a mission to clear al-Shabaab from contested areas as well as villages the militants controlled, ‘and establish a permanent combat outpost’ to expand the reach of the Somali state.” They’ll never succeed in this without confronting the ideology that al-Shabaab represents, and upon which it recruits among Muslims. But the […]

US Attorney: “We may never know what drove Maalik Jones to travel to Somalia and pledge allegiance to al Shabaab”

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “We may never know what drove Maalik Jones to travel to Somalia and pledge allegiance to al Shabaab, a terrorist organization that has vowed to destroy America.” Yes, it’s a real mystery! Could it have anything to do with his adhering to a religion that thrice commands believers to […]

Kenya: 246 schools close, 917 non-Muslim teachers flee because of jihad attacks

Now the 12-year-old’s dream to become a doctor is threatened. Attacks by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab against non-Muslims have forced the transfer of hundreds of teachers from the border area with Somalia, where the extremist group is based. Schools have closed and thousands of children are affected. The human rights abuses caused by jihadis in Kenya […]

Feb 27, 2018 7:17 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Suspected members of Islamic jihad group Al Shabaab shot three Christians to death in northeastern Kenya after bursting into their sleeping quarters at a primary school. Murdering Christians is a common activity for these jihadis, for the reason indicated by one of the murderers, who said: “These infidels should be wiped out.” Islamic jihadis have […]
