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

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. […]

Travel Risk Map shows that eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations to visit are Muslim

Nov 22, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis in Muslim countries hate tourists, who are often visiting sites of jahiliyya, the pre-Islamic society of unbelievers. And if they’re visiting Muslim sites, they’re trampling them down under their Infidel feet. Either way, they’re not welcome. “Eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations are Muslim,” 5Pillars, November 19, 2019 (thanks to The […]

In Iraq, Stirrings of an “Ungrateful Volcano”

Oct 26, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Perhaps you remember all those high hopes once expressed by Americans for bringing democracy to “ordinary moms and dads” in Iraq, as President George Bush called them. America would not only topple Saddam Hussein, and play its famous game of fifty-two pickup – that is, bring to justice the 52 top figures in his regime […]

Iraq: Girls as young as 9 sold for sex in temporary marriages, Muslim cleric says “According to Sharia, no problem”

Oct 8, 2019 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

Shi’ites justify temporary marriage, mutah, by their reading of Qur’an 4:24: And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not […]

Saddam Hussein bribed Jacques Chirac with $6,150,000 to get France to oppose the Iraq War

Sep 30, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Chirac was right to oppose the war, which was directed at the wrong foe, one who had not attacked us on 9/11. It failed to confront the real causes of the 9/11 jihad attacks, which have still not been confronted. But the really interesting aspect of this story is that it raises another question: how […]

Muslim cleric: “The Jews are the enemies of mankind. The Jews are the enemies of Islam.”

Sep 8, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Khazali quotes the Qur’an to support his claim: “You shall find the strongest in enmity towards the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists.” (5:82) Will some moderate Muslim spokesman in the West explain how Khazali is misunderstanding this passage and the Qur’an’s other antisemitic passages? Of course not. “Iraqi Shiite Militia Leader Qais […]

Islamic State rigs cows with explosives in jihad attack on Iraqi forces

Sep 5, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It looks as if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal plan to commit a mass murder of cows in order to save the planet was right all along. How could we ever have doubted her? (Yes, you subliterate SPLC fools, that’s sarcasm. I do not actually favor a mass killing of cows, however many are pressed […]

Iraq: Muslims enraged over female violinist with uncovered hair at football tournament ceremony

Aug 12, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Western feminists insist that the hijab is a choice. This is the reality. The violinist wasn’t brutalized, but Iraq’s Ministry of Youth and Sport will make sure this doesn’t happen again. And so the lesson will be reinforced for women in Kerbala: venture outside without your head covered at your own risk. “In Iraqi holy […]

Keeping up with the Qardashians: Islamic State caliph al-Baghdadi names successor, Abdullah Qardash

Aug 11, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The caliph without a caliphate, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is apparently still alive, at least as of April 9, but may be in ill health, as he has apparently named a successor, Abdullah Qardash. Qardash “had served as a religious commissar for Al Qaeda before joining ISIS.” “Religious commissar”? Don’t these people realize that al-Qaeda and […]

Iraq: Christians evacuating their villages due to Turkish bombardments

Aug 7, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Move along. No “Islamophobia” was committed. Nothing to see here. At least as far as the international media is concerned. “Christians evacuating their villages due to Turkish bombardments” by Lawk Ghafuri, Rudaw, August 3, 2019: ERBIL, Kurdistan Region — Around 10 Christian villages in the northern Kurdistan Region have been evacuated due to frequent and […]

Trump steps in to save Christians and Yazidis from extinction by jihadists

Jul 19, 2019 3:37 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

To acknowledge the levels of Christian persecution and Yazidis means to acknowledge a major problem within Islamic countries which are governed by the sharia; therefore, Christians have been left virtually ignored. That is, until Donald Trump decided to step in. “U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is helping bring Christians and Yazidis in Iraq back from […]

Iraq: Calls for Miss Iraq to be stripped of her citizenship and barred from the country for her defense of Israel

Jul 10, 2019 8:30 am By Robert Spencer

It is hard to imagine a hatred this deep, but it is based on the Qur’an. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah […]

Muslim cleric: “Why does the Quran focus on the Jews? Because they are our sworn enemy.”

“You shall find the people strongest in enmity towards the believers to be the Jews.” That’s Qur’an 5:82. “You must know that this is not a temporary enemy with whom we can sign a peace agreement – the Oslo Accords, or whatever… No!” This has been abundantly proven throughout the lifetime of the State of […]

Baghdad: Seven wounded as Sunni Muslims bomb Shi’ite mosque

Jun 25, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

In The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now, I show that the Sunni/Shi’ite split goes back to the earliest days of Islam, and has often over the centuries erupted into violence. This is certain to keep on happening, since the death penalty for heretics remains part of Islamic […]

Kurds in Iraq besieged by Arabs yet again

Jun 2, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The greatest divide within the world-wide Ummah, the community of Muslim believers, is that between the Arabs, who are 20% of the world’s Muslims, and non-Arab Muslims, who constitute 80% of Muslims world-wide. Arabs have long believed, and acted, as if they are superior to non-Arab Muslims. And many non-Arab Muslims appear to share that […]

France backs Iraqi court death sentence for four French citizens who joined Islamic State

May 28, 2019 8:22 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In a groundbreaking precedent, France has backed an Iraqi court for its sentencing of four of its citizens to death for joining the Islamic State. Agnès von der Mühll, French foreign affairs ministry spokeswoman, stated that the jihadists “must answer for their crimes in court”. Canada, among other countries have focused on repatriating IS jihadists, […]

Iraq: Elderly Assyrian Christian women stabbed as jihadists terrorize their community

May 18, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The whole world is obsessed about the Palestinians who are referenced as “indigenous people” when they are really peoples from Ottoman South Syria. The Jews are the indigenous inhabitants of their land, as are Christians throughout the Middle East–both groups tormented by jihadists who want them to either be dhimmis or vanish. The aim of […]

French Justice Minister says France will support Islamic State jihadists if they’re sentenced to death in Iraq

France’s Minister of Justice Nicole Belloubet “has announced that the government will intervene should French Islamic State members be sentenced to death in Iraq for their activities.” Islamic State jihadis are at war with the West and pose a grave danger to innocent people. Far too many leaders prioritize their rights over the rights and safety of […]

Iraqi novelist assassinated after criticizing Iran’s Islamic revolution

Feb 4, 2019 9:09 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The well-known Iraqi novelist Ala Mashzoub was gunned down “by a group of armed men” after recently publishing an article which criticized “the Islamic republic revolution in Iran, which is being celebrated now on its 40th anniversary.” The assassination sparked anger. Activists wrote that “we continue to write about everything that disturbs the sacred ignorance.” […]

Germany: Muslim migrant charged with child rapes and murder

Jan 25, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

He had fled back to Iraq, and apparently his younger brother, who also took part in one of the violent sexual assaults, did also. Now wait a minute. Weren’t they supposed to be “refugees”? Weren’t they supposed to be in danger in Iraq? Yet they found refuge there after committing crimes in Germany. That should […]
