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

Algerian analyst hits ‘Armenia’s hostile attitude towards Islam,’ says Erdogan ‘acts as protector of all Muslims’

Nov 3, 2020 10:30 am By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

Erdogan is positioning himself to restore the caliphate, and that seems to be fine with this Algerian analyst. Al-Rafi’s remarks are also further confirmation that the Azerbaijanis and their allies view their conflict with Armenia as an Islamic jihad. “Armenia hostile to entire Islamic world, says Algerian analyst,” Trend News Agency, October 29, 2020: Armenia […]

Islamic scholar: ‘The Muslim caliph will lead the Muslim armies and they will crush Paris completely’

Could Ali Abu Ahmed be clearer about his adherence to the Islamic idea that violent jihad must be waged in order to force Infidels to submit to Sharia? Will Western analysts heed his words and ponder their implications? Of course not. “Al-Aqsa Mosque Address By Sheikh Ali Abu Ahmad: Boycotting French Products Is Not The […]

Colorado: Non-Muslims try to destroy Islam by ‘sugarcoating, watering it down, accept LGBT…HIYZ…music is okay’

Oct 25, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 19 Comments

Western analysts constantly assume, and demand that other assume, that no Muslims in the U.S. and Europe have any difficulty whatsoever in reconciling Islamic law with Western secular society, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Yet here is a Muslim cleric in Aurora, Colorado proudly proclaiming that he will not […]

Virginia: Imam calls for caliphate, says ‘My enemies call it inciting, I do not care what enemies of Allah say’

Oct 20, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 21 Comments

Note that Shaker Elsayed refers to “our ummah, including the Islamists.” The word “Islamist” is generally used to refer to adherents of political Islam, which is inherently authoritarian and supremacist. Yet we are constantly told that anyone who thinks that Islam has a political aspect is a greasy Islamophobe to be vilified and ostracized everywhere. […]

Turkey’s Erdogan: ‘Jerusalem is our city’

Oct 3, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

Erdogan’s aspirations to restore the caliphate grow plainer by the day, but Western officials continue to ignore them. “‘Jerusalem is our city,’ Turkey’s Erdogan declares,” by Raphael Ahren, Times of Israel, October 1, 2020: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday implied that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey, referring to the Ottoman Empire’s control over the […]

Turkey: Government music video hails Ottoman caliphate, says “The world is waiting for ‘There is no god but Allah'”

Where are all the learned mainstream analysts who confidently told us that secular Turkey was the wave of the future in the Islamic world, and that other Muslim countries would emulate it?  “Turkish Government Music Video Presents Turkish Military, Erdoğan As Heir To Ottoman, Seljuk Dynasties, Portrays Turkish Conquerors Praying In Hagia Sophia Mosque,” […]

Erdogan presenting himself as ‘leader of the Muslim world’ as Palestinians hail him at Al Aqsa mosque

Sep 11, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 25 Comments

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s strongman tactics render him appealing to those who are most dedicated to the vision of Islamic expansion. They are increasingly regarding him as “leader of the Muslim world,” particularly since the UAE-Israel peace agreement. Erdogan’s “popularity with Palestinians reflects his long championing of their struggle for nationhood and comes as […]

Where is that army going? Erdogan gives a hint: “Do the people of Greece accept what will happen to them because of their greedy and incompetent leaders? Do the people of France accept the price they will pay because of their greedy and incompetent leaders? Are the brotherly peoples of some North African and countries […]

Turkish magazine calls for revival of caliphate in wake of Hagia Sophia conversion to mosque

Jul 30, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

As I wrote here just a few days ago: “Erdogan is now positioning himself as yet another Mehmet the Conqueror, using Hagia Sophia as his illustrious predecessor did to proclaim Islam’s victory over both Christianity and Ataturk’s secularism. And with the centerpiece of the caliphate now again secured, the caliphate itself is virtually certain to […]

Canada’s NCCM Executive Director: “How are we Muslims going to recreate Cordoba [caliphate] in any Canadian city?”

Jul 15, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) was originally named CAIR-CAN, that is, the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Canada. Its record can be seen HERE. The NCCM advises the Trudeau Liberal Government of Canada on issues of “racism” and “Islamophobia,” including on matters related to a 23-million-dollar followup plan to the anti-Islamophobia M-103. The […]

Why Erdogan Converted the Hagia Sophia to a Mosque, and Why the State Department Should Be Concerned

Jul 12, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: Most Western media analyses of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision Friday to convert Hagia Sophia from a museum to a mosque have asserted that Erdogan has wanted to do this because the move is popular among Turks and will shore up his base. But there is a great deal […]

Erdogan: “Resurrection of Hagia Sophia” heralds “return of freedom to al-Aqsa,” revival of Islam Uzbekistan to Spain

Jul 11, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Since mainstream analysts routinely downplay or ignore altogether the existence of political Islam, they will miss the implications of this. That could be just as disastrous as the dismissal of Mein Kampf by European analysts in the 1920s, who never took seriously the possibility that in it, Hitler had provided a precise articulation of his […]

ISIS: “COVID 19 has plagued disbelievers, it’s time to make it worse so they’re forced to bow before Allah’s rule”

Jun 27, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A “lockdown special” edition of a magazine published by supporters of the Islamic State (ISIS) encouraged steps to “annihilate the disbelievers,” including stabbing people with scissors and achieving the same effect while expending “less effort,” by spreading the coronavirus. The magazine, which included pages of graphic instruction, stated: COVID 19 has plagued the disbelievers and […]

Mozambique: “We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We want a government from Allah.”

“We want everyone here to apply Islamic law. We don’t want a government from unbelievers, we want a government from Allah.” If our moral superiors weren’t around to assure us to the contrary, one might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam. “Extremists in northern Mozambique declare goal of caliphate,” […]

Muslim cleric says Jerusalem will soon become the capital of a global caliphate

Jan 21, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, Ahmad Shihabi, a commander in the Obama-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), is ready to sacrifice his life for the Ottoman caliphate. How will the restored Ottoman caliphate coexist with this Jerusalem-based caliphate? It won’t. Pull up a chair, this will be something to watch.

University of Florida Prof Hails Caliphate as ‘Historic Institution’ That ISIS Is ‘Hijacking’

Nov 20, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: University of Florida professor Ken Chitwood wrote Wednesday in the Associated Press’ commentary section, “The Conversation,” that “the Islamic State tries to boost its legitimacy by hijacking a historic institution.” He then provided a drive-by overview of the history of various Islamic caliphates, so whitewashed as to rival the Washington […]

Nov 16, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Under Umar, the caliphate expanded to include many regions of the world such as the lands of the former Byzantine and Sassanian empires in Asia Minor, Persia and Central Asia.” Yeah, how exactly did that “expansion” occur? In reality, beyond the pseudo-academic whitewash and fantasy below, the caliphates always behaved much like the Islamic State, […]

The caliphate continues: Muslims in Somalia and Egypt pledge allegiance to the group’s new top dog

Nov 4, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi may have gotten the caliph job over Abdullah Qardash, who was named as al-Baghdadi’s successor in previous reports, precisely because he is a Quraishi, that is, a member of the Quraish tribe of Mecca, to which Muhammad also belonged. That is a requirement for the caliphate. In any case, the jihad […]
