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

Iraq: Iran-backed jihad terror groups cheer prospect of Biden presidency

Nov 13, 2020 1:00 pm By Vijeta Uniyal 9 Comments

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 […]

Archbishop of Mosul decries EU’s silence on persecuted Christians, ‘I am more afraid for Europe than I am for Iraq’

Oct 23, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 20 Comments

Archbishop Najeeb Michaeel Moussa of Mosul, Iraq states in this important and incisive interview that “the European Union has undoubtedly lagged behind the European peoples who have courageously mobilized to express their solidarity with the Christians of the East in general and the Christians of Iraq in particular.” He also states: “I think that the […]

Germany: Muslim family arrives from Iraq in private jet, says they’re fleeing female genital mutilation threat

Oct 16, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 17 Comments

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

May 29, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

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 […]

1915’s “Year of the Sword” and Beyond

Apr 30, 2020 8:00 am By Andrew Harrod

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. Fitting reflections for this time come from Sister Hatune Dogan, a Syriac Orthodox Christian nun from Turkey, who has written about […]

Muslim cleric: “I will be holding a special prayer on Friday that will curb the pandemic”

Apr 13, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Mar 30, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Mar 29, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a propaganda move ostensibly to justify planned jihad attacks against U.S. facilities across Iraq: Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Shiite militia group that killed an American civilian contractor in December while launching terrorist rocket attacks against Iraqi military bases, issued a statement on Wednesday accusing the U.S. military of using the coronavirus pandemic as […]

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

Mar 15, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Supreme Fatwa Committee, affiliated with the Kurdistan Region’s Islamic Scholars Union, much like the Iranian mullahs, has opted for theocracy over all reasoning and science.  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

Mar 14, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Mar 14, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

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

Jan 19, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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

Jan 8, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

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

Jan 5, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Jan 3, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

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

Jan 2, 2020 8:56 pm By Robert Spencer

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 […]

Baghdad: Iran-backed Kataib Hizballah militia besieges US embassy, Trump says Iran “orchestrating” attack

Dec 31, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

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. The mullahs may be hoping to provoke that war now in order to distract their people from their own miserable condition and relieve the pressure that they’re under domestically. […]
