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

Iran’s Khamenei: ‘Muslim nations will never accept the humiliation of compromising with the Zionist regime’

Oct 24, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 9 Comments

While Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Sudan are normalizing relations with Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran remains determined to obliterate Israel, as the Palestinian Arabs and their allies have vowed to do since the birth of the modern state of Israel in 1948. Although the Palestinians claim to want a “two-state” solution, a […]

Bahrain breaks up plot by Iran-backed jihadis to massacre diplomats and foreigners

Sep 23, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 2 Comments

Apparently an attempt at retaliation for the peace deal with Israel. Iran regards Bahrain as its 19th province; it has a lot of nerve making peace with the “Zionist entity.” “Reports claim Bahrain stopped militants planning attacks,” by Jon Gambrell, Associated Press, September 20, 2020 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Bahrain broke up a plot […]

The Trump Peace Deals Won’t End the Jihad Against Israel, But They Help

Sep 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 14 Comments

My latest at PJ Media: At the ceremony Tuesday on the South Lawn of the White House for the signing of peace deals between Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, President Trump declared: “We’re here this afternoon to change the course of history. After decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a […]

Bahraini Minister: Normalization Will Help Against Iran, But Palestinians Not Forgotten

Sep 17, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 5 Comments

Bahrain’s Interior Minister has explained that his country has not forgotten the Palestinians, but is determined, through its new ties to Israel, to strengthen Bahrain’s security against Iran. The story is here. The interior minister of Bahrain said on Monday that the normalization deal with Israel was not a disavowal of the Palestinians, but a […]

Trump hails ‘dawn of a new Middle East’ as he presides over signing of UAE and Bahrain accords with Israel

Sep 15, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 21 Comments

These accords are based on pragmatic considerations, ignoring the Islamic imperative of jihad and its deeply ingrained anti-Semitism. As I have noted many, many times, what Islam teaches is one thing, and what any individual Muslim or Muslim group may do is quite another. In this case, the UAE and Bahrain have demonstrated that their […]

Bahrain Joins the ‘Circle of Peace’

Sep 13, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 13 Comments

Ever since the United Arab Emirates agreed to normalize relations with Israel, there has been excited speculation about which Arab country would be next, and how long it would take. Would it be Oman, where Prime Minister Netanyahu visited at the invitation of the late Sultan Qaboos in October 2018? Could it be Chad, whose […]

Trump: ‘Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal’

Sep 11, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

“Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal – the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!” This is extraordinary. Trump is achieving it by refusing to heed the conventional wisdom that has guided U.S. foreign policy into disaster after […]

After the UAE, Is Bahrain Next?

Aug 19, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Now that the United Arab Emirates has agreed to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel, and to engage in a full panoply of undertakings, involving technology, trade, tourism, agriculture, medicine, solar energy, and defense, among other fields, other Arab states are lining up. Tiny Bahrain appears to be next. Its ruler, Hamad bin Isa Al […]

Bahrain: Niqab-clad Muslima smashes Hindu idols, Muslims cheer, scream ‘Allahu akbar’ on social media

Aug 17, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Bahrain police have summoned this woman, so the response to this is not monochromatic, but the enthusiastic reaction from some Muslims shows that bigotry, intolerance, and contempt for unbelievers is all too common in the Islamic world. Now, why is that? Could it have anything to do with this and other verses like it? “Indeed, […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Boldness of Bahrain

Mar 14, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Bahrain is a small Gulf Arab state that first stood out from its neighbors by appointing a Jewish woman, Houda Nonoo, in 2008 as its Ambassador to the United States. When other Arabs objected to this choice, claiming she could not adequately represent Bahraini interests, the ruler, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, dismissed their concerns. […]

Khamenei: “Palestine is number one issue of Islamic world,” also calls for jihad in Bahrain, Kashmir, Yemen

Jul 2, 2017 2:54 pm By Robert Spencer

Bahrain and Yemen are Sunni/Shia jihads. Kashmir and Israel are jihads against Infidels. Khamenei is simultaneously calling for Shi’ite attacks against Sunnis and trying to situate himself as the leader of the entire global jihad. “Iran’s Khamenei names Kashmir, calls for jihad,” by Manish Tewari, New Indian Express, June 29, 2017: Even before the holy […]

“It is now time for the Islamic conquests”: Iran threatens Bahrain, Yemen

Dec 18, 2016 5:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Paid for by Barack Hussein Obama. “Iran threatens Bahrain, Yemen with ‘Islamic conquest’ like Aleppo,” Middle East Monitor, December 17, 2016: A senior Iranian military commander has threatened further wars of conquest after describing the recent collapse of the Syrian opposition in Aleppo as an “Islamic conquest”, as footage has appeared showing Syrian refugees attempting […]

Bahrain: Man caught smoking cigarette while driving his car charged with denigrating Ramadan

Jul 24, 2014 12:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Virtue that is mandated by force is not virtue. It does not make people good. It only creates an empire of fear. That is what Sharia creates. “Bahraini charged with smoking during Ramadan,” by Neil Halligan, ArabianBusiness.com, July 24, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas): A Bahraini man, who was caught smoking a cigarette while driving his […]

Bahrain: “Iranian fingerprints” and “Hizballah’s hand” on bomb blast that killed three

Mar 8, 2014 2:58 am By Robert Spencer

Bahrain has a Shi’ite majority ruled by a Sunni minority, and so this is entirely possible: in these days when the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad rages in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, it’s entirely believable that Iran and Hizballah would be stirring up strife in Bahrain. And with Obama in their hip pocket, Iran is more confident and […]

Bahrain arrests four for insulting Muhammad’s companions on Instagram

This is the sort of thing that happens in a majority-Muslim country, doncha know, whereas in the West, we have the freedom of speech, and don’t have to worry about such things. Unless an appeals court judge orders that a video that offended Muslims be removed from YouTube. Or unless a pop star such as […]

Bahrain: Two former Guantanamo detainees arrested for plotting jihad terror attacks

Nov 27, 2013 4:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Still more Gitmo recidivism. And why not? Nothing is done at Guantanamo to disabuse detainees of their jihadi beliefs. “2 former Guantanamo Bay detainees arrested at Bahrain’s border,” from the Associated Press, November 24: MANAMA, Bahrain — Authorities in Bahrain say two former Guantanamo Bay detainees have been arrested while crossing the border from Saudi […]

Bahrain arrests six misunderstanders of Islam ahead of Formula 1 Grand Prix

Apr 18, 2013 10:02 am By Robert Spencer

As has often been noted over the last few days, al-Qaeda has called for the jihadist targeting of sporting events. “Bahrein: Six ‘terror suspects’ arrested ahead of Formula 1 Grand Prix,” from AKI, April 18 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Manama, 18 April (AKI) – Police in Bahrein arrested six ‘suspected terrorists’ as security was ramped […]

Bahrain: MP torches Israeli flag in parliament

Dec 1, 2012 7:24 am By Robert Spencer

But even though he could have burned the place down, not enough lawmakers could be persuaded to vote for punitive action against him — apparently their Islamic Jew-hatred outweighed their concern for safety. “Controversial Bahrain lawmaker survives punitive move,” by Habib Toumi for Gulf News, November 28: Manama: A lawmaker who last week torched the […]

Bahrain: Shi’ite Misunderstanders of Islam murder two with bomb blasts in Manama

Nov 5, 2012 6:27 am By Robert Spencer

“Locally-made bombs.” This apparently is a signal that Iran is not involved this time, or at least that its involvement is not directly known. Sunni/Shi’ite Jihad in Bahrain: “Five bomb blasts hit Bahrain capital, two workers killed,” from MSN News, November 5 (thanks to Kenneth): DUBAI – Five home-made bombs went off in the Bahraini […]

Bahrain: Bomb factory discovered in mosque

Oct 26, 2012 7:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Calm down, you greasy Islamophobe. Your church has a bomb-making factory on the premises, doesn’t it? In recent years we have seen mosques used to preach hatred; to spread exhortations to terrorist activity; to house a bomb factory; to store weapons; to disseminate messages from bin Laden; to demand (in the U.S.) that non-Muslims conform to […]
