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

Boko Haram top dog: “Our aim is to follow the tenet of the Qur’an; our aim is to follow the tenets of the prophet”

Apr 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Wait a minute. Lai Mohammed, the Nigerian minister of information, just recently said this about Boko Haram: “Lest I am misunderstood, let me repeat: the insurgents, who delude themselves as Muslims whereas they are nothing more than blood-thirsty, rapacious killers who subscribe to no religion, have recently started targeting Christians with a view to sowing […]

Nigeria: Six ways Muslims discriminate against Christians

Mar 19, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Violent jihad attacks against Christians are growing increasingly commonplace worldwide. Christians are living under conditions of genocide in Africa and in the Middle East. Less heard about are other forms of torment that Christians experience due to bigotry by Muslims. In the article below, “a Nigerian priest who oversees trauma care for people victimized by […]

Nigeria: Army Chief of Staff says Boko Haram jihad group will be crushed within days

Mar 12, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Nigerian government has repeatedly boasted that it has defeated Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, or was just about to do so. It vowed to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2014. And by the end of 2015. In mid-2017 it called the movement a […]

Nigeria: Muslim Senator says “There is nowhere in the Qur’an where Allah said innocent people should be killed”

Mar 10, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The key word here is “innocent.” Take, for example, the words of the Britain-based imam Abdul Makin, who said: “Non-Muslims are never innocent, they are guilty of denying Allah and his prophet.” “Boko Haram members are Muslims, their activities not Islamic – Senator Barkiya,” by Musliudeen Adebayo, Daily Post, March 9, 2020: A member of […]

Nigeria: Minister of Information says Boko Haram “bloodthirsty, rapacious killers who subscribe to no religion”

Mar 3, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Lest I am misunderstood, let me repeat: the insurgents, who delude themselves as Muslims whereas they are nothing more than blood-thirsty, rapacious killers who subscribe to no religion, have recently started targeting Christians with a view to sowing the seed of confusion between the two great religions.” This is something we hear all the time […]

Nigeria: Muslims burn 30 motorists to death as they slept in their cars at overnight stop, abduct women and children

Feb 12, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you of captives…” (Qur’an 33:50) That is likely to be the fate of the abducted women: to become “those your right hand possesses,” used […]

Cameroon: Bishop says “not a day passes without attacks” by Muslims against Christians

Jan 29, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Bishop Bruno Ateba better be careful. He is a Catholic bishop, and Pope Francis has made it very clear that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” The Catholic hierarchy ruthlessly moves to silence those who dare to state otherwise. Bruno Ateba could soon find himself […]

Nigeria: Muslims behead Christian pastor after he refuses to deny Christ and convert to Islam

Jan 23, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If the roles were reversed here, and Christians had murdered a Muslim imam for refusing to convert to Christianity, although such a murder would never happen and should never happen, there would be screaming international headlines. But no one will take any particular notice of this. “Nigerian pastor who praised God in ransom video beheaded […]

Nigeria: Muslims murder seven, burn church and homes in Christmas Eve jihad raid on Christian village

Dec 25, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Chad: Muslims murder 14 people in jihad massacre at fishing village

Dec 23, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why do I say “Muslims” did this when it was “Boko Haram”? Because Boko Haram is a Muslim group that is acting on Islamic principles as it understands those principles when it carries out attacks such as this one. The establishment media does all it can to obscure the motivating ideology behind such attacks. I […]
