Jihad Watch

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

Indonesia: Muslims raid village, murder four Christians, burn church and six Christian homes

Nov 28, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 23 Comments

Here at Jihad Watch we have posted innumerable stories like this one over the years, and never once have posted a story about Christians raiding a Muslim village, killing Muslims and burning down a mosque. That would never happen and should never happen. But it is evidence of the prevailing madness in the world today […]

50,000 Muslims in Bangladesh, 2,000 in Indonesia demonstrate against Muhammad cartoons

Nov 3, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 23 Comments

When have we seen crowds of comparable size protesting against the supposed “hijacking” of the peaceful religion of Islam by jihad terrorists? Right, never. In July 2016, a much smaller than anticipated crowd showed up at a Muslims Against ISIS rally in Washington, D.C. There are thousands of Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, but only 100 […]

Indonesia: Man jailed on blasphemy charges for ripping Qur’an apart

Aug 11, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Last year, Indonesia’s Supreme Court rejected an appeal by an ethnic Chinese Buddhist woman who was sentenced to 18 months in jail for complaining about the volume of a mosque’s call to prayer. The case fuelled fears that Indonesia’s moderate brand of Islam was coming under threat from increasingly influential radicals.” No kidding, really? But […]

Indonesia: Central Lombok regency uses coronavirus as pretext to mandate niqab for civil servants

Jul 9, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The regent of Central Lombok in Indonesia, Moh. Suhaili Fadhil Thohir, has imposed “a new dress code for female civil servants.” It is now mandatory that all female Muslim civil servants wear the niqab — the “Islamic face covering instead of a face mask as part of the battle against the coronavirus pandemic. He also […]

Indonesia: Women wanted by local authorities for cycling in “sexy clothes”

Jul 8, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The alleged offence caused by these women is due to the Islamic tenets which strip women of their equal rights and objectify them, and which are strictly enforced in Sharia-adherent Aceh: (Quran 24:31) And tell the believing women to reduce of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that […]

Indonesia: Coronavirus restrictions eased so couple could be lashed in Sharia state of Aceh for premarital sex

Jun 9, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

As with so many applications of Islamic law, we see here again that Sharia is an empire of fear, with virtue enforced by draconian punishments that make people too afraid to step out of line. Behind the Islamic moral critique of the West is not genuine virtue, but people cringing in fear of getting arrested, […]

Indonesia: Muslim brothers hack their 16-year-old sister to death with machete for having sexual relations

Jun 8, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There is no justification for a 45-year-old man having sex with a 16-year-old girl. But there is likewise no justification for murdering the 16-year-old girl. The article below says that it is unusual for this to happen in Indonesia, but given the sanction honor killing has in Islamic law, it’s not all that surprising. According […]

Indonesia: Islamic Defenders Front breaks up church meeting, threatens worshipers, attacks one

Apr 23, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine if Christians anywhere broke up a gathering for Islamic prayer, which would never happen and should never happen. It would be front-page news for weeks. But no one will take any particular notice of this news from “moderate” Indonesia. “Indonesia Islamists Breakup House Church Meeting,” by Stefan J. Bos, BosNewsLife, April 21, 2020 (thanks […]

Indonesia: Police won’t bring murder charges in case of transgender woman burned to death

Apr 11, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Indonesian police said on Wednesday they would not bring murder charges against suspects accused of killing a transgender woman by dousing her with petrol and setting her on fire.” This despite the fact that six people were suspected of “unintentionally” burning her to death. The rage and violence against this person was likely rooted in […]

Indonesia: “Niqab Squad” promotes archery, horseback riding, says niqab “doesn’t mean we become weak Muslim women”

Mar 26, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A movement of Indonesian women” called the “Niqab Squad” is promoting the niqab “as a way to get closer to heaven and avoid sexual harassment. Others fear it reflects growing extremism.” The “Niqab Squad” is acting in obedience to the Quran; such obedience isn’t “extremism,” it’s a commitment to normative Islam. (Quran 24:31) And tell […]

Indonesia: Islamic revival assembly halted over coronavirus, 9000 quarantined

Mar 20, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

In another case of conflict between Islam and modern science, “Indonesia halted a mass congregation of nearly 9,000 Muslim pilgrims and began quarantining them and checking their health Thursday to prevent the further spread of the coronavirus amid a spike in cases,” but the cancellation has caused conflict and distress among the devoted. Sentot Abu […]

Thousands of Muslims to gather in Indonesia despite coronavirus: “We are more afraid of Allah”

Mar 19, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Tablighi Jamaat is in a no-lose situation. If no one gets coronavirus at this gathering, it’s a sign of Allah’s protection of the Muslims. If coronavirus does spread there, it’s because Muslims have sinned, and need to be more pious, and so need to attend more such gatherings. This is the same kind of cycle […]

Indonesia: Terrified woman publicly caned for violating Sharia by having sex outside of marriage

Mar 5, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

But remember: any criticism of Sharia out of you will immediately show you to be a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Terrified Indonesian woman is escorted by police before being caned in public for having sex outside marriage in violation of Sharia law,” by Sophie Law, Daily Mail, March 2, 2020: A terrified woman was today dragged […]

Indonesia: Cops arrest man for desecrating Qur’an, “We have no room for terrorists in this country”

Feb 16, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“The police claimed that the suspect was aware of what he was doing. ‘He is mentally healthy,’ Jhonny said…’We have no room for terrorists in this country, we will take action against them,’ Jhonny said.” Meanwhile, all over Europe, actual jihad terrorists who brutalize and murder non-Muslims are dismissed as mentally ill, and no action […]

Indonesia: Multiple arrests of couples on Valentine’s Day, “These social illnesses must be prevented”

Feb 14, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]

Indonesia: Religious Affairs Ministry appoints Muslim acting head of Catholic Community Guidance Directorate General

Feb 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Religious Affairs Ministry has now apologized for this, but given the Pope of Rome’s positions on Islam, how did any of the Catholics notice? Or if they did notice, why did they think anything was amiss? After all, in September 2017, Pope Francis met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, […]

Indonesia won’t take back its nearly 700 nationals who joined the Islamic State

Feb 13, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The minister, Mahfud MD, said the government needed to ensure the security of 267 million Indonesian citizens by keeping the fighters out of the country.” While Western countries dither and litigate and welcome back returning jihadis, majority-Muslim Indonesia has its priorities straight and does what needs to be done. “Indonesia Will Not Take Back Nationals […]

Indonesia: Sharia police tell all-female flogging squad to “have no mercy for those who violate Allah’s law”

Jan 30, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Aceh’s all-female Sharia flogging squad is the perfect metaphor for Western feminists’ refusal to denounce Sharia oppression of women. When the time comes, maybe the Women’s March or Code Pink could select female floggers for Sharia police in the U.S. “Indonesia’s Sharia police tout historic female flogging squad: ‘Her technique was nice,’” by Douglas Ernst, […]

Indonesia: “Islamic revival” sees hijrah movements flourishing on campus, thanks to the Saudis

Jan 2, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Indonesia is descending into the pit of Islamization, and this is now evident on its campuses: Walking through Indonesian college campuses today, it’s easy to spot the young women clad head-to-toe in black amongst the sea of students wearing jeans and brightly colored batik. These women in black, along with many of their male classmates, […]

Another Christmas in the Age of Jihad: Oppression and Appeasement

Dec 25, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Oppression of Christians in Muslim lands and appeasement of Muslims in post-Christian lands. My latest in FrontPage: Another Christmas is upon us, and the story is familiar: in Muslim lands, Christians are oppressed and in constant danger of violent jihad attacks. And in the lands once known as Christendom, Christians freely abdicate their own traditions […]
