Assured by the mainstream media coverage declaring Democratic candidate Joe Biden winner of the U.S. presidential race, Iran-backed terrorist groups in Iraq feel emboldened. The prospect of President Donald Trump leaving the White House, as portrayed by the U.S. and world media, comes as a relief to Iraq-based pro-Iranian terror militias. The Iranian regime is […]

Germany: Muslim family arrives from Iraq in private jet, says they’re fleeing female genital mutilation threat
Note that the woman’s father is described as “strictly religious” in his demand that she and her seven-year-old daughter have their genitals mutilated “according to Islamic law.” Yet the establishment media in the West consistently and indefatigably insists that female genital mutilation has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam. How did these Iraqis get […]
Iraq: Islamic State jihadists using video game controller explosives to murder Yazidis
There are no limits to the jihadist hatred of infidels, or to their impulse to murder them. “Bomb detection units in Iraq uncovered a plot by the Islamic State to detonate bombs against Yazidi people hidden in video game controllers, a film highlighted by the UK Telegraph on Monday found.” While the Islamic State has […]

April 24 marked the 105th anniversary of the 1915 Ottoman Empire’s deportation of 200 Armenian intellectuals from the Ottoman capital of Istanbul, an event that is remembered as the start of the Armenian genocide.

Muslim cleric: “I will be holding a special prayer on Friday that will curb the pandemic”
If the coronavirus pandemic abates, Al Sadr can claim credit. If it doesn’t, he can blame his followers’ impiety, and urge them to redouble their efforts to please Allah. As Muhammad said that there is no deed greater than jihad, this could lead to more jihad violence. “Coronavirus: Iraqi cleric tells followers to kneel and […]
Iraq: Muslims gather in mosque, chant “coronavirus has terrified you” as cleric blames gay marriage for plague
This must be it, right? The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And […]
Iraq: Iran-backed jihadis claim US plot to exploit coronavirus pandemic, threaten American facilities in the region

Iraqi Kurdistan: Islamic Scholars Union says “Anyone who dies due to Covid-19 is a martyr per Islamic Sharia”

The Committee issued a statement about the continuation of Friday prayers during the outbreak of coronavirus: According to Islamic Sharia, daily congregational prayers as well as Friday prayers in […]
Muslim cleric says he won’t accept any coronavirus cure from “infidel” United States
Whence this hatred? “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 […]
US conducts airstrikes against multiple Iranian-backed Shi’ite militia sites in Iraq
Aggression against American forces will not go unanswered. This is a far cry from the days when Iran captured a patrol boat of American sailors and humiliated them before the world, and the Obama administration thanked Iran for treating them well. “US conducts airstrikes against multiple Iranian-backed militia sites in Iraq,” by Ryan Browne, Barbara […]
Iraqi security forces arrest ISIS Muslim cleric, he was serving as a preacher at several Mosul mosques
An Islamic State Muslim cleric? What? Doesn’t he know what every Western official knows, that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam? Why didn’t these mosques tell Abu Abd Al-Bari that he was misunderstanding their peaceful religion, and cast him out? “Iraqi police arrest ISIS religious official in eastern Mosul,” by Wladimir van […]
U.S. Out of Iraq? By All Means
The Iraqi Parliament has just passed a resolution calling for all American troops -– there are now 5,000 in Iraq — to be withdrawn from the country. I quite agree. We should never have entered Iraq in the first place, but left Saddam, monstrous as he was, as a counterweight to the just as monstrous, […]
Iraq: MPs scream “Allahu akbar” after voting to expel US forces from the country
This vote was a foregone conclusion, since Iraq has had a weak Shi’ite government dominated by the Islamic Republic of Iran ever since the toppling of Saddam Hussein. And the MPs are right: we should leave Iraq and everywhere our troops are without any defined mission or goal. Watch the historic moment Iraqi parliament passes […]

Obama welcomed leader of attack on US embassy in Baghdad to the White House in 2011
This is what happens when you insist that Islam is a religion of peace and demonize and marginalize those who point out that it is not. In such cases, one’s blinkers will prevent one from noting or caring about the beliefs and goals of the people you’re dealing with, and you will end up taking […]
Iraqi TV says Iran’s Quds Force top dog Soleimani killed in US airstrike at Baghdad’s airport
In August 2018, Soleimani posted an image on Instagram of the White House exploding. His death, if confirmed, shows that the US is now serious about confronting the belligerence and aggression of the Islamic Republic of Iran. On January 1, 2020, the Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted to Trump: “You can’t do anything.” “Iraqi TV: Iran’s Gen. […]
Iraq: Kurdish Muslim authorities allow sale of anti-Christian shoes that allow wearer to trample on cross
Islamic groups in the US have successfully protested against shoes that they claim bear the name of Allah. Will they protest against this? What do you think? “It is a pity that empty slogans about tolerance and mutual respect, intended for naive Europeans, find fertile soil in Western media and mislead the public.” Indeed. The […]

Hezbollah and militia now chanting “Allahu Ackbar” – US Embassy Baghdad pic.twitter.com/2gUxwZ9uC6 — Iraqi Mourner Poso 🇮🇶 (@JackPosobiec) December 31, 2019 This gives the lie to the establishment media claims about the meaning of “Allahu akbar.” It does not mean “God is great,” and is not a simple manifestation of Islamic piety. It means “Allah […]
Baghdad: Iran-backed Kataib Hizballah militia besieges US embassy, Trump says Iran “orchestrating” attack
The Islamic Republic of Iran has actively courted war with the U.S. for a long time, as is shown in The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran.
