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

Chicago: Muslim caused bomb scare in casino, demands Qur’an at his defense table

Oct 22, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“On Feb. 12, Muadinov made alarming statements, was detained, demanded police take him to their leader and said if he didn’t meet with President Donald Trump, ‘we would all meet Allah,’ according to the affidavit.” Will this be dismissed as mental illness, as in so many other cases? Certainly his devout commitment to Islam, and […]

Muslim convicted of planting explosives in NYC and NJ claims he shot at cops in self-defense

Oct 8, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Ahmad Khan Rahimi knows what kinds of claims play among Leftists today. He is sounding all the right chords to get himself back on the street, and in today’s society, it may just work. “Man convicted of planting explosives in N.Y. argues he shot at N.J. cops in self-defense. Jury to decide.” by Rebecca Panico, […]

Alaska pays $102,500 to two Muslim inmates over Ramadan food, Hamas-linked CAIR to provide sensitivity training

Sep 8, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The settlement states that Muslim inmates also ‘are permitted to congregate for each of the five daily prayers in their mods,’ ‘are permitted to facilitate Friday religious services,’ and ‘Muslim inmates are permitted to participate in Islamic study groups.’” This apparently applies not just to inmates who happen to be Muslim, but also to Muslim […]

Arizona: Muslim who threw rocks at cop and threatened him with knife asks to be released from jail

Sep 5, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“During his incarceration he has endured many difficulties being away from his family, including isolation, stress/anxiety, and harassment from others in the jail.” Did he consider that before going jihad on the cop? “Islamic State follower seeks lower bond in officer assault case,” Associated Press, September 3, 2019: An 18-year-old Islamic State follower, who was […]

Delayed by Obama, Trial of 9/11 Plotters Finally Set for 2021

Sep 2, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: For those of you who weren’t yet born on September 11, 2001, on that day Islamic jihadis killed nearly 3,000 Americans in attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. A fourth plane was set to murder even more people by crashing into another landmark in Washington, but it was […]

Canada: Muslims convicted of jihad plot to derail train to get new trial

Aug 29, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

On September 23, 2015, Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier were sentenced to life imprisonment for their roles in a jihad terror plot to derail a passenger train that travels between New York City and Ontario. Throughout the trial proceedings, Esseghaier remained defiant, insisting that only the Qur’an, not a Canadian court, could judge him and […]

California: Hamas-linked CAIR applauds as US judge recommends overturning jihad terror conviction

Jan 13, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The prosecution took advantage of post-9/11 hysteria to convict him,” says Basim Elkarra, executive director of the Sacramento Valley office of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations. But that kind of argument can cut both ways. If Hamid Hayat was convicted because of “post-9/11 hysteria,” might it also be possible that his conviction is being […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Illinois Jihadi Says He’s Guilty, but Also Innocent

Nov 22, 2018 10:25 am By Robert Spencer

Another U.S. jihadist uses the “entrapment” defense. My latest in PJ Media: Adel Daoud tried to set off a bomb outside a crowded Chicago bar in 2012, and now, according to the Chicago Tribune, he has “asked a federal judge to allow him to enter an unusual guilty plea.” He wants to enter “what’s known […]

Federal judge sides with CAIR against parents, students, in favor of “Islamophobia” initiative in San Diego schools

Sep 28, 2018 11:19 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Once again, the “Islamophobia” canard is being wielded by CAIR as a means to attain special status to Muslims. This is being done in public school systems, but is as yet unrecognized by authorities for what it is. A federal judge has sided with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and against students and parents in […]

Texas: Muslim migrant convicted of trying to aid ISIS wants new trial, says didn’t understand terms of guilty plea

Sep 19, 2018 12:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Note carefully what he claims not to have understood: “Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who came to the U.S. in 2009, alleges that U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes did not clearly advise him that he faced a possible life term for violating federal probation if he entered a guilty plea….He would not have entered a […]

New Mexico compound jihadis released on bond after charges of racism and “Islamophobia”

Aug 13, 2018 9:48 pm By Robert Spencer

“Their lawyer argued that there was a double standard in the case because his clients were Muslims. He argued that if they had been Christian and white, ‘we might not be here today.’” Seriously? If they had been Christian and white, stockpiling weapons and plotting school shootings, with the ringleader being the son of one […]

Texas: Muslim convicted of two honor killings says his daughters are lying when they say he beat them

Aug 13, 2018 11:05 am By Robert Spencer

“Primm reminded jurors that earlier in the trial, Irsan’s first wife and oldest daughter both testified he raped them and subjected them to years of persistent, brutal abuse….On Friday, Irsan maintained that he killed that son-in-law in self-defense after he came to Irsan’s home with a pistol and shot at him twice. He also said […]

California: County denies Muslima’s claim that her hijab was “violently yanked” off as she was booked into jail

Jul 12, 2018 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) indefatigably pushes the notion that Muslims are victims of widespread harassment and discrimination in the U.S. This is in order to deflect attention away from jihad terror activity and to buttress the notion that counter-terror scrutiny of Muslim communities is simply more of this persecution. But actual “hate […]

Canada: Sexual assault charges dismissed against Muslim accused of groping six teen girls in pool

Jul 6, 2018 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

“Justice Joyce Lester cited unreliable witness testimony as a reason for the decision.” Juxtapose that with this: “At least two of the girls in the courtroom to hear the ruling cried when it was given.” Could Justice Joyce Lester be a proponent of mass Muslim migration into Canada, and not want that program to be […]

Foreman: “I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews” with Pulse jihadi’s wife, “significant inconsistencies”

Mar 30, 2018 6:33 pm By Robert Spencer

It looks as if our determinedly clueless and desperately corrupt FBI has done it again. “A verdict of not guilty did NOT mean that we thought Noor Salman was unaware of what Omar Mateen was planning to do. On the contrary we were convinced she did know….I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews […]

Florida: Jurors in trial of Orlando jihad mass murderer’s wife asked their views of Muslims and Islam

It is most likely that if someone said that he or she didn’t believe that Islam was a religion of peace, or knew that Omar Mateen said he killed 49 people at the Pulse Nightclub because of Islam and his adherence to the Islamic State, that person would not be chosen for the jury. “Noor […]

Bronx: Muslim accused of supporting ISIS laughs through court appearance, grins and waves to courtroom

Feb 10, 2018 10:25 am By Robert Spencer

Doesn’t he know that, as the Ayatollah Khomeini said, “There is no fun in Islam”? Actually, he has every reason to feel happy: he is on trial for jihad terror activity, but as far as he is concerned, that jihad terror activity was pleasing to Allah, and so he has nothing to worry about at […]

Paris jihad mass murderer tells judge: “I put my trust in Allah”

Feb 5, 2018 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Once again we come up against the ever-present cognitive dissonance: jihad terrorists insist that they’re acting in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, and non-Muslim authorities insist that they’re misunderstanding Islam and violating its teachings. How, exactly, did this jihad mass murderer violate the teachings of the religion with a holy […]
