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

Greece, Cyprus, Egypt, France and UAE conduct joint military exercises amid rising Turkish threat

Dec 5, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 2 Comments

In a significant move, the United Arab Emirates “is participating for the first time, along with new arrival France, in the joint Greek-Egyptian-Cypriot Medusa-10 training exercises being held Nov. 30 to Dec. 6 off the coast of Alexandria.” The presence of this alliance in the Mediterranean sends a strong message to Turkey, although “their true […]

Turkish foreign minister: EU shouldn’t ‘dare’ to impose sanctions over Turkey’s aggression toward Greece and Cyprus

Oct 6, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 23 Comments

Çavuşoğlu speaks to the European Union the way an irritated master speaks to a lazy servant. It is clear who he thinks is the boss in their relationship. Also note this: “Thanks to our efforts, irregular migratory flows to Europe have been reduced by 92 percent.” Think about that in light of Erdogan’s repeated threats […]

Oct 1, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

“The Ottoman navy greeted the Prophet Muhammad’s aunt, Umm Haram (known as Hala Sultan), with gunfire as they passed near Cyprus. The tomb of Hala Sultan, who participated in the first Muslim expedition to the sea, is under Greek occupation. Let us greet Hala Sultan again and tell her we will be coming soon.” Erdogan […]

Turkey’s occupation of Cyprus

Sep 18, 2020 8:00 am By Uzay Bulut 26 Comments

Turkey is more and more in the international news these days because of its violations of the exclusive economic zones (EEZ) of Cyprus and Greece. These violations in the Eastern Mediterranean threaten the stability and security of the wider region. A maritime deal signed on 6 August set out the sea boundaries between Egypt and […]

Cyprus: 46 Years of Turkish Occupation

Sep 1, 2020 3:00 pm By Uzay Bulut

What does the international community often think when they hear “Cyprus”? A beautiful island country in the Eastern Mediterranean? A heavenly holiday destination? Warm weather and scenic beaches? All of these are true. However, this small and resilient island country also has a dark and criminal history – a history shaped by the Turkish occupation […]

Cyprus to deport 17 Muslim migrants suspected of jihad terror links

May 27, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember: all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. The Lebanese Education Minister said in September 2015 that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in […]

Turkish Navy surrounds Cyprus

Oct 12, 2019 3:30 pm By Robert Spencer

A reminder in all the present confusion that Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a jihadist scoundrel with revanchist caliphate dreams. Turkey is not an ally of the United States, and should not be in NATO. “Concerns as Turkish Navy surrounds Cyprus,” by Vassilis Nedos, Ekathimerini, October 9, 2019: Tension mounted in the Eastern Mediterranean on Tuesday […]

Turkey’s Defense Minister: “We are at the same point in Cyprus that we were in 1974…we will do what we did then”

Sep 5, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Turkey has occupied northern Cyprus since 1974, ostensibly to protect the Turkish Muslims there from attacks from the Greek Orthodox Christians. Those attacks were not, of course, really happening. And now Turkey’s Defense Minister, Hulusi Akar, has threatened that Turkey may renew its jihad in Cyprus: “We are at the same point in Cyprus that […]

Turkish Deputy PM admits: “Even if no Turks lived in Cyprus, Turkey would still have a Cyprus issue”

Jul 10, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Turkey has occupied northern Cyprus since 1974, ostensibly to protect the Turkish Muslims there from attacks from the Greek Orthodox Christians. Those attacks were not, of course, really happening. But now Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister, Tuğrul Türkeş, has let the cat out of the bag: “There is this misinformation that Turkey is interested in Cyprus […]

Cyprus: 20 Muslim migrants go to church, start screaming, cursing, and beating the attendees

#MyJihad in Cyprus: Hizballah jihadist gets three years prison dawah for plot to attack Israeli targets

Mar 29, 2013 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Hizballah’s founder Hassan Nasrallah has said, “If they (Jews) all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” Looks as if he is going hunting. Hizballah is “the most dynamic political and social organization in Lebanon.” — Reza Aslan “Cyprus jails Hezbollah operative for Israel attacks plot,” from the […]

Cyprus: Muslim arrested on suspicion of misunderstanding Islam, targeting Israeli interests

Jul 14, 2012 4:18 am By Robert Spencer

“A Lebanese man carrying a Saudi Arabian passport.” This is, of course, the common way these would-be jihad terrorists are identified in the media, even though their nationality and passport status are irrelevant to their motivations for wanting to target anyone’s interests. Their Islamic faith is never mentioned, and has to be surmised, even though […]

“Activists” set sail for Gaza from Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus

Sep 26, 2010 5:51 am By Robert Spencer

Will these Jewish “activists” be chanting the Islamic jihad battle-cry, “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return,” the way the “activists” on the last flotilla were doing? “Activists set sail for Gaza from Cyprus,” by Menelaos Hadjicostis for Associated Press, September 26 (thanks to JCB): FAMAGUSTA, Cyprus – A boat carrying Jewish […]

Turkish general confesses to burning down a mosque, blaming it on non-Muslims

Sep 24, 2010 5:31 am By Robert Spencer

In Cyprus in 1974. This is reminiscent of how CAIR and others have not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes.” They want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat. “Retired general confesses to burning mosque to fire […]

UK: Two Muslim passengers arrested for suspicious behavior on plane to Cyprus

Sep 21, 2005 6:56 am By Robert Spencer

This report comes from a local UK paper, Wakefield Today: “Terror on plane” (thanks to Kemaste). They locked themselves in the bathroom and were banging on the walls. This is a strange story, but Islamic prayer, which one said was what he was doing, doesn’t involve banging on walls. A BUSINESSMAN from Wakefield was caught […]

Pallone urges State to condemn Turkey for new penal code on Armenia and Cyprus

While the rhinoceri rush to prepare the way for Turkey’s entrance into the EU, one non-rhinoceros has turned up in the US: Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ), who has noticed that just as Turkey is about to join the democracies of the EU, it has passed an interesting new law: if you affirm the Armenian Genocide […]
