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

Islamic State calls on Muslims to murder Christians “as a punishment for their disbelief in Allah”

Feb 24, 2018 10:42 am By Robert Spencer

The letter is entitled “Strike Their Necks and Strike Each One of Their Sons.” It says: “Let every Muslim know that the blood of those combatant Christians and their money is permissible and that taking any of them as hostages for ransom or to swap with a Muslim prisoner is also permissible.” Strike their necks?

Russia: Muslim leaders say Muslim who killed 5 at church while screaming “Allahu akbar” has “nothing to do with Islam”

Feb 19, 2018 4:54 pm By Robert Spencer

We have heard this song and dance before. Khalilov pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, and screamed “Allahu akbar” while he was murdering. The Islamic holy book directs Muslims to “kill them wherever you find them” three times (2:191, 4:89, 9:5). Stating that the massacre has nothing to do with Islam is easy; showing exactly […]

Islamic State claims Dagestan church attack: “He targeted the Crusaders with his rifle”

Feb 19, 2018 10:25 am By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State statement reads: The Targeting of a Christian Church in Kizlyar City of Dagestan Putting his trust in Allah, one of the zealous soldiers of Islam, Khalil ad-Dagestani (may Allah accept him) set out towards the Christian temple of George in Kizlyar city in Dagestan. He targeted the Crusaders with his rifle, killing […]

Video from Russia: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” murders four at Orthodox church

Feb 18, 2018 5:36 pm By Robert Spencer

An update on this story. What was previously reported as an unidentified “gunman” was a jihad murderer, Halilov Khalil Umarovich, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and then, screaming “Allahu akbar,” went to the church and opened fire. #Kizlyar terrorist Halilov Khalil Umarovich pledges allegiance to #ISIS shortly before shooting churchgoers. pic.twitter.com/fzVv8BtWhF — Blazing […]

Russia: Gunman opens fire outside church, murdering four, injuring four others

Feb 18, 2018 9:59 am By Robert Spencer

This is, as CNN would likely tell us, probably the work of a “white supremacist,” but there is just the off-chance that it’s a jihad attack, given that Dagestan is a Muslim area, and the killer opened fire outside a church, at a Russian folk festival. Those are targets jihadis would love. “5 killed, including […]

Russia: 7 Muslims arrested for plotting New Year’s jihad massacres in Moscow

Dec 31, 2016 11:48 am By Robert Spencer

“The FSB said the suspects were preparing attacks with automatic weapons and explosives in crowded places.” The jihadis never stop trying to maximize the death toll in order to appease their bloodthirsty god. “Russia arrests 7 suspects accused of plotting terror attacks,” Associated Press, December 29, 2016: MAKHACHKALA, Russia – Russia’s security agencies have arrested […]

Russia: Muslim cleric says “all women should be circumcised”

Aug 18, 2016 3:37 pm By Robert Spencer

FGM is widely reputed to be a “cultural” practice, but actually it is sanctioned by Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is […]

Russia: Muslim leader defends FGM after it’s discovered in Dagestan

Aug 15, 2016 11:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Female genital mutilation “is a Central African problem. Eritrea has almost 90 percent female genital mutilation. It’s a Christian country. Ethiopia has 75 percent female genital mutilation. It’s a Christian country. Nowhere else in the Muslim, Muslim-majority states is female genital mutilation an issue.” — Reza Aslan Oops. Wrong again, Reza, and not just about […]

Dagestan: Muslims open fire at Russian tourist attraction, murdering one tourist and wounding 11

Dec 31, 2015 5:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Dagestan: “the most dangerous place in Europe.” The Tsarnaev brothers, who waged their jihad at the Boston Marthon, hailed from there. “Jihadi Shooting Rampage Kills 1, Wounds 11 at Russian Tourist Attraction,” by John Hayward, Breitbart, December 30, 2015: Two gunmen opened fire on a group of twenty tourists at the Russian Naryn-Kala fortress in […]

Islamic State on recruitment spree in Russia, “moderate” imams can’t counter the jihadis’ appeal

Oct 29, 2015 3:30 pm By Robert Spencer

“Most local imams in Dagestan shun radical views, but they have found it hard to counter the appeal of radical ideas promoted by the Islamic State. Some imams who spoke against radical Islam have been killed.” Why have they “found it hard to counter the appeal of radical ideas promoted by the Islamic State”? To […]

Sharia-compliant Daily Beast worries: “Are Russia’s Troops Vandalizing Korans In Dagestan?”

Jan 27, 2015 10:43 am By Robert Spencer

If you want to worry about Russian troops, there is plenty to worry about. Even this story alleges that they looted and destroyed property, and quotes someone calling them “robbers and murderers.” But the primary focus of this Daily Beast piece is not any of that; it’s that Russian troops allegedly trashed Qur’ans in Dagestan. […]

Islamic jihadists to Russia: “Today, one mujahid could destroy dozens or even hundreds of people in your cities….The number of such bombings will only grow.”

Jan 26, 2014 8:01 am By Robert Spencer

Note that they say they’re acting in defense of Muslims, who they claim are being “destroyed” by the Russians. Muslims in the West would claim that these jihadis are misunderstanding and misrepresenting Islam. Are there any Muslims in Dagestan or the nearby areas who feel the same way? Why is there no large-scale movement, or […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: Teaching Children Jihad in Dagestan

Nov 26, 2013 9:48 am By Robert Spencer

“Allahu Akbar!” at the video’s conclusion”¦ In PJ Lifestyle I discuss a wonderful new parenting technique in Dagestan: “The Child is father of the Man,” wrote William Wordsworth, and nowhere is this truer today than in the Russian Muslim Republic of Dagestan, from which hailed the Boston Marathan jihad mass murderers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Dagestan: Muslim children make videos imitating jihadis, threatening to kill unless they get money and good grades

Nov 17, 2013 1:31 pm By Robert Spencer

They’ve taught their children well: “If you don’t do that, I’ll first kill Khalimat and Nurmagomed and then come at you. Insha’Allah.” Even if these children are just playing around, it is clear what kind of values the adults around them are demonstrating and instilling in them. “Trick-or-treat: Children in Russia’s North Caucasus record militant-style […]

Ramadan observance in Dagestan: Islamic jihadists shoot and gravely wound rabbi

The Jews are, according to the Qur’an, the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82). But in practice, this means that Muslims who take this verse seriously are the worst enemies of the Jews. “Rabbi Injured in Dagestan Shooting — Russian Prosecutors,” from RIA Novosti, July 25 (thanks to Pamela Geller): MOSCOW, July 25 (RIA Novosti) […]

Dagestan: Four dead, 44 wounded in jihad bombing

Islamic jihadists murder two teenage boys with bomb near busy shopping area in Dagestan

This is the handiwork of the ideological kin of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev — not that the jihad in Dagestan is unique.
