My latest in PJ Media: Other presidents throughout American history have endured harsh criticism from the press. None of them, however, have faced anything like the relentless, organized hit job that is the establishment media’s coverage of President Trump, featuring not just criticism, but distortion, half-truths and outright lies, all designed to make the American […]
I Was Fired for Opposing Islamic Terrorism
Editor’s Note: the background of this case can be found here. We’re all aware of the cancel culture. Its strength is visible on college campuses throughout the country, especially in liberal strongholds. But in a politically conservative state such as Tennessee? Surely it wouldn’t have any foothold in state employment, right? Wrong. In February 2019, […]
Saudi Arabia: Another women’s rights activist jailed for ‘terrorism’
Saudi Arabia boasts of “reform” to impress its Western friends of mutual convenience, but there is good reason to be skeptical. Its support for ISIS was no secret. Even the left-leaning Independent proclaimed that “both Saudi Arabia and Isis are founded in Islamic law, with Saudi Arabia being the only state recognised internationally that owes […]
Iran’s Rouhani: ‘Trump’s fate will be no better than Saddam’s fate,’ as Saddam ended up ‘hanging from the gallows’
Iran has become confident and emboldened. The jihadist regime of Iran is salivating at the thought of a Biden administration, during which it is confident that it will have free rein to expand its global adventurism. In its view, America will now “bow” and sanctions against it will end, as the disastrous nuclear deal is […]
Pakistan: Muslim mob attacks Christian church during Christmas service, many Christians injured
If the roles were reversed and Christians had attacked a mosque, which they would never happen and should never happen, a story like this would be in the international news for weeks. But you’ll only read about this incident here. “Mob attacks Pakistani church on Christmas,” by Kevin Zeller, Mission Network News, December 30, 2020: […]
The Horror: No Justice For Coptic Grandmother Assaulted In Egypt
A Coptic grandmother in the village of Al-Karm, in the Minya governorate, in Upper Egypt, was stripped naked, and her house burned down, by three Muslims, in 2016. It was certainly an atrocity. And the perpetrators are known; they denied nothing; they were proud of what they had done, teaching the odious Copts a lesson. […]
University of California Merced stands by Muslim professor with anti-Semitic Twitter account
James Chiavelli, University of California Merced’s vice chancellor of external relations, “offered no comment or condemnation of the antisemitic material pushed by Ghassemi on Twitter,” and “emphasized that the university’s principles include a right to free speech.” Of course! Free speech! It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if a University […]
Muslim former US professor who was darling of the American Left renews call for Israel’s destruction
Longtime Jihad Watch readers will remember Sami Al-Arian, the former University of South Florida professor who for years was a darling of the Leftist intelligentsia. In March 2002, Nicholas Kristof went to bat for the professor in the New York Times: “The point is not whether one agrees with Professor Al-Arian, a rumpled academic with […]
France: Muslim migrant with ‘visible psychiatric disorders’ gets six months for sexual assault of 15-year-old girl
Here is a variant on the frequently recurring phenomenon of the global outbreak of mental illness. Instead of covering for a jihad attack, here “psychiatric disorders” cover for a sexual assault. Would this fellow have been dismissed as having “a moderate impairment of discernment,” and would he have gotten only six months, if he had […]
Yemen: Houthi jihadis beat woman to death in front of her two children
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) “Yemen’s Houthi rebels kill woman in front of her children,” The National, December 26, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A 25-year-old woman […]
Nigeria: Muslims murder three loggers, kidnap dozens more
Hostage-taking is sanctioned in Islamic law and subject to particular rules: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale […]
The ‘intolerance and animosity’ that Muslims exhibit toward non-Muslims is not new — it’s 1,400 years old
The Palestinian Christian Bishara Bahbah paints a grim picture of the lot of Christians in Hamas-ruled Gaza, but at the same time he misleadingly describes a pollyannish version of how Palestinian Christians live in the PA-ruled parts of the West Bank. In this version, Christians get along swimmingly with their Muslim “friends and neighbors.” The […]
Pakistan: Each year, 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam
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 […]
Israel: Hamas claims that IDF hit hospital false, target was major rocket factory nearby
For years now it has been widely known, and even condemned by the UN, of all people, that Hamas deliberately stages rocket attacks from civilian areas in order to use any retaliatory strikes that may come for propaganda purposes. Hamas, not Israel, is putting civilians in harm’s way. “IDF rejects Hamas claim it hit hospital, […]
Hamas-Linked CAIR Demands Biden Dismantle Counterterror Operations
My latest in PJ Media: The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) worked hard to get His Fraudulency President-select Joe Biden into the White House, and now it’s time for payback. On Tuesday, the sinister organization that the establishment media routinely presents as a benign human rights group released what it called “a detailed agenda […]
Pakistan: Hundreds of Christian families flee after Muslims threaten to set fire to their neighborhood
The world yawns. Neither the perpetrators nor the victims fit the establishment media narrative, so this will get no attention. “Hundreds of Pakistani Christian Families Flee Neighborhood Following Threats of Violence,” International Christian Concern, December 27, 2020: 12/27/2020 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that hundreds of Pakistani Christian […]
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem: Women not allowed to travel alone, must be accompanied by male relative
Hussein is no “extremist.” A manual of Islamic law certified by Al-Azhar, the foremost authority in Sunni Islam, as “conforming to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community,” stipulates: “[A] woman may not leave the city without her husband or a member of her unmarriageable kin accompanying her, unless the journey is obligatory, […]
A dance party in the West Bank becomes the latest episode of Muslim oppression of Christians
“Christians have transformed this site into a brothel,” one of the attackers shouts in this video This year, Christmas among Palestinians appears to have been a source of unusual animosity towards Christians. The aftereffect of Hamas’s memo about Christians in Gaza and the Christmas celebration was a social media anti-Christmas campaign that culminated with the […]
France: Five Muslims beat up another Muslim for Christmas dinner: ‘Celebrating Christmas is not Muslim’
The popular Muslim preacher Zakir Naik has said: “If you say ‘Merry Christmas,’ ‘you are building your place in hell.’” “As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a heavy punishment in this world and the hereafter, and they will have no helpers.” (Qur’an 3:56) These five attackers chose to be Allah’s instruments […]
A Palestinian Christian On Persecution By Hamas
Hamas is the Gazan branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is distinctly unfriendly to Christians, including those who are Palestinian Arabs. Ever since its takeover of Gaza in 2007, when Hamas imposed Shari’a, or Islamic law, the Christian population of the Strip has steadily decreased, from 5,000 in that year to 650 today. Bishara A. […]
