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

Egypt: Muslim hurls Molotov cocktail at Greek Orthodox church in Alexandria

Jun 7, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

This attack took place at Holy Virgin and Mar-Girgis (St George) Greek Orthodox Church in Ghabrial, Alexandria. It is yet another reminder of the precarious circumstances in which Christians in Egypt live, solely because of their faith. But because they are not Muslims suffering from “Islamophobia,” the world yawns. “Attempted Attack at Orthodox Church in […]

Leaderless Islamic Terrorism: A Dangerous Evolution

Jun 3, 2020 3:00 pm By Darrell Pack

The structure of jihadi/takfiri Islamic terrorism has begun to take a significant turn. Terrorist Muslim groups are becoming leaderless. This new form borrows from the anarchist theory that by being diverse, amorphous, and flexible they are less easily attacked and destroyed. Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula in particular, faces an existential threat from these autonomous […]

Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar declares: “Islam doesn’t seek war, Muslims only fight back to defend themselves”

May 3, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayyeb has called for embracing morals as the sole way out of the world’s crises….Islam doesn’t seek war or bloodshed, and Muslims only fight back to defend themselves,” El-Tayyeb said. Try telling that to persecuted Christians and other religious minorities. In 2016, El-Tayyeb stated that “unrepentant apostates should be […]

Egypt: Government-linked production company presents TV drama predicting destruction of America and Israel

Apr 29, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

After new broke about this drama predicting Israel’s destruction and the breakup of America, “there was no immediate comment from the Egyptian government. The series is produced by Synergy, one of Egypt’s largest production companies, which has strong links with the government of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. The series airs on the ON television network, which […]

Egypt: Muslims planned jihad massacre at Easter celebrations today

Apr 19, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What better day than when Christians are rejoicing? “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) An update on this […]

Apr 18, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What better time to strike than when people are taking steps to protect themselves? It maximizes the terror. “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not […]

“The terrorist elements were planning to carry out bomb attacks and were creating bombs in their hideout location in the al-Amireya in Cairo.” Will the Islamophobia never end? “Egyptian forces exchange fire with ‘terrorist’ group planning bomb attacks in Cairo,” by Ismaeel Naar, Al Arabiya, April 15, 2020: Egyptian special forces exchanged fire with “terrorist” […]

Muslim Doctor: Zionists Use Coronavirus to Distract the World From Their Scheming

Apr 4, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Elder of Ziyon has posted a piece about an Egyptian doctor who finds that the Jews – just see the Protocols – must be behind the coronavirus outbreak. Egyptian Dr. Makram El Nabrawy writes a seemingly reasonable article in Vetogate, where the author cautions against believing Egyptian claims that they have devised a vaccine for […]

Egypt: Muslim tries to kill Christian, says he did not know the victim, but hated him for being Christian

Mar 31, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29) “Man who […]

Egypt: Survey shows that women approve of female genital mutilation more than men do

Mar 27, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The likely explanation for this is that female genital mutilation has justification in Islamic law. This story repeats the usual establishment media line: “People in countries where FGM is still common attempt to link it to religion, but the practice has nothing to do with any faith and predates both Christianity and Islam. It has […]

ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood fatwas forbid new churches, allow looting non-Muslim money and say women inferior to men

Mar 23, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State (ISIS) is universally regarded as “extremist,” but the Obama administration did all it could to support the short-lived Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt. “ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood Fatwas Call for Discrimination against Christians, Women,” Asharq Al-Awsat, March 22, 2020: Egypt’s Dar El-Ifta’s Global Fatwa Index (GFI) has registered a number of fatwas by […]

Al-Azhar Sheikh rejects idea that Islam needs reform: “War between heritage and modernity made up to hold us back”

Mar 22, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

I would have said that this hits hardest those professional moderates who have grown rich and laden with honors by telling Western audiences what they want to hear, that is, feeding them soothing half-truths and outright lies about how Islam will soon reform and is or soon will be completely compatible with Western secular governance, […]

Egypt: Popular music genre Mahraganat “more dangerous than coronavirus,” says parliament spokesman

Feb 22, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“This type of music is based on promiscuous and immoral lyrics, which is completely prohibited, and as such the door is closed on it.” There may be more to this as well. Whenever I note that Islamic law forbids music (aside from nasheeds, a cappella songs encouraging jihad), I am excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe, […]

Egypt: Doctors start campaign against FGM, objector says “It is a religious thing. Do you want to change religion?”

Feb 17, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“It is a religious thing. Do you want to change religion?” said metro user Ibrahim Hassan in response to the “White Coats” campaign. “You only listen to what the West is saying.” Establishment media treatments of female genital mutilation routinely insist that it has nothing to do with Islam, but actually FGM is mandated in […]

Egypt: Special forces officer dismissed over his views of Islam, leads al-Qaeda-linked jihad terror group

Feb 7, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

The government of Egypt does not hesitate to dismiss officers with jihadist sentiments from its military. In the United States, a similar move against a Muslim officer such as Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered 13 people at Fort Hood while screaming “Allahu akbar,” would be denounced as “Islamophobia” and the people involved would be dismissed […]

Egypt: Girl, 12, dies after undergoing female genital mutilation

Feb 4, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

FGM is mandated in 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 called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark […]

Egypt: Muslims set Christian houses on fire because the Christians wanted to pray together in days before Christmas

Jan 8, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

You will likely not hear about this anywhere but here. But just imagine if the roles were reversed (which never happens; nor should it). Then it would be screaming international news. “Coptic Houses Set on Fire,” International Christian Concern, January 4, 2020: 01/04/2020 Egypt (International Christian Concern) – Egyptian Christian houses were set on fire […]
