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

Australia: Muslim gets 12 years for ‘imminent’ knife jihad attack, screams that hearing is ‘Islamophobic’

Nov 16, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

Here is yet more evidence that charges of “Islamophobia” are meant to deflect attention away from jihad terror plotting and provide cover for jihad massacres. “Sydney man jailed after buying knives for ‘imminent’ terrorist attack,” by Georgina Mitchell, Sydney Morning Herald, November 11, 2020: A young man who bought knives from a western Sydney gun […]

Portland, Oregon: Muslim migrant distributed ISIS material on stabbing and bombing techniques, is released

Nov 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

“Mothafar was released on conditions including limitations on travel and the use of electronic devices.” Was he not in a wheelchair when he “conspired with ISIS members to provide material support to ISIS”? If he was wheelchair-bound at that time, isn’t releasing him now just inviting him to go back to his Internet jihad? “Portland […]

France: Accused accomplice of 2015 Paris jihad mass murderers threatens witness in court: ‘You will pay’

Oct 21, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

It is likely that Ali Riza Polat, who “shared the religious convictions of his friend Amedy Coulibaly,” has no respect for the infidel court that is judging him on the basis of man-made law, which he considers to be inferior to Sharia, which is (he thinks) divine law. Accordingly he feels no need to respect […]

UK: Muslim Wins $2,900 for Not Being Given a Cognac Prize

Oct 7, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 25 Comments

One more of those crazy stories involving a Muslim complaining of mistreatment, and getting a court to agree, is here. A Muslim porter has successfully sued a five-star country hotel for religious harassment after he won a bottle of Cognac in a raffle – but bosses gave him ‘cheap’ chocolate instead. Managers at the 17th […]

Boston: Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller gets one of his convictions overturned, gets even longer sentence

Oct 3, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Here is a rare and refreshing instance in which lawyerly attempts to aid a jihadi in escaping the consequences of his actions backfires, and results in justice being more, not less, properly served. It was bad enough that Wright’s fellow would-be jihad murderer, Nicholas Rovinski, was recently granted a “compassionate release.” As always, there is […]

Justice Department will seek to reinstate death penalty for Boston Marathon jihad murderer

Aug 22, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Tamerlan Tsarnaev killed three people in 2011, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is not as culpable in the Boston Marathon jihad massacre. In reality, Dzhokhar never showed any sign of being anything but a convinced and willing participant, and was defiant after the massacre, as the jail photo of him giving the finger to the camera demonstrates. […]

Virginia: Islamic scholar serving life sentence for recruiting for jihad ordered released while he pursues appeal

Aug 20, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Al-Timimi argued that prosecutors overstated his influence with those who traveled to Pakistan, and that he was punished for unpopular speech rather than criminal conduct.” Interesting defense. It may have been true in 2005 that jihad recruitment was “unpopular speech,” but nowadays Leftists would cheer al-Timimi on. The real “unpopular speech” today is opposition to […]

Massachusetts judge frees Muslim who plotted to murder Pamela Geller

Aug 13, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This was eminently predictable, and I predicted it. As I wrote here last month, “Rovinski is lucky that he didn’t target some revered figure on the left. If he had, antifa would be storming the prison today, and The New York Times and CNN would be running features about how, given the proper circumstances, lynching […]

Federal appeals court overturns death sentence of Boston Marathon jihad murderer

Jul 31, 2020 9:30 pm By Robert Spencer

This is more about the state of American society today than it is about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. There is no question that he is guilty. His victims have no chance to appeal the death penalty that he gave to them. But American society does not have the will anymore to take a strong stand against criminals […]

Michigan: Muslim migrant charged with conspiring to join ISIS claims entrapment due to racism and “Islamophobia”

Jun 26, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Seeing as Mr. Haji is a Black Muslim man who is an immigrant, every precaution must be taken to prevent unconscious bias throughout the jury.” Indeed. The way things are going, rather than receive a fair trial, he will be ushered to the state capital and made governor. But as for entrapment, it’s bunk. The […]

Muslim in Connecticut prison who plotted to behead Pamela Geller asks for “compassionate release”

Jun 10, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Nicholas Rovinski and his accomplices wanted to murder Pamela Geller for the crime of exercising the freedom of speech. That freedom is under such concerted attack today that this appeal may well succeed. But what compassion were they going to show for their intended victim? Do her rights count in this at all, or are […]

UK: Convicted terrorist files suit, says new counterterror law targets those holding “particular Islamic beliefs”

May 12, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Mohammed Zahir Khan has filed a lawsuit challenging the United Kingdom’s Terrorist Offenders Restriction of Early Release Act, arguing that the law targets those holding “particular Islamic beliefs and [would] have a disproportionate impact on Muslims.” Give Mohammed Zahir Khan points for cleverness. He has discovered a vulnerability, and he is exploiting it. The British […]

Australia: Sunni Muslims who firebombed a Shi’ite mosque lose appeals against their terror convictions

Apr 18, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If the people who firebombed the mosque had been non-Muslims, which should never happen, there would be screaming international headlines about this for weeks, UN commissions about “Islamophobia,” and further restrictions on the freedom of speech regarding the motivating ideology behind jihad terror attacks. But the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad coming to Australia? That’s not news. “Terrorists […]

Netherlands: Muslim who opened fire on tram while screaming “Allahu akbar” gives finger to judge, spits at lawyer

Mar 9, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Many times we have seen Muslims refusing to stand in court, because they recognize only Sharia, which they regard as divine law, as opposed to “man-made law.” The actions of Gökmen Tanis also proceed from that assumption. “Utrecht tram shooter removed from court for spitting at lawyer as trial begins,” Dutch News, March 2, 2020: […]

US Supreme Court refuses to review terrorism convictions of Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller

Mar 6, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is good to see. Wright should have been given life in prison. He will get out before his 28-year sentence is up. His jihadi beliefs won’t be weakened, but strengthened while he is incarcerated, thanks to a prison system that allows him to meet with and pray with other Muslim inmates, and treats the […]

Islamic Republic of Pakistan: Court validates forced conversion, marriage of 14-year-old Christian girl to Muslim

Feb 14, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and […]

Obama judge orders Iraqi interpreters to be brought to US; interpreters have included rapist and ISIS member

Feb 13, 2020 4:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

The federal judicial coup against America continues. And, as usual, it’s Obama and Clinton judges at the center of it. And there are some of the usual judicial suspects pulling this same coup over and over again. Some are more obnoxious about it than others. At the head of the class is Judge Chutkan, an […]

Arkansas: Muslim who shot two soldiers claims that as a terrorist, he shouldn’t have been tried in state court

Feb 1, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Appeals of this kind tie up the Infidel’s resources, and although this one failed, the courts are so crazy these days that one never knows. Also, Abdulhakim Muhammad has a point. Attacks like his are not criminal cases. He is a soldier in a war. He should be regarded as such. “Man who shot 2 […]

The Frankfurt Regional Court’s concern for the rights of Bilal G. is laudable. Indeed, it is a hallmark of Western civilization. But cases such as this one nevertheless pose an additional difficulty: what about the rights of his potential victims? What are the chances that he will now become a loyal, stable, productive German citizen? […]

New York: Muslim prison guard wants $8,000,000 for her boss forcing her to take off her hijab
