If this new Islamic State (ISIS) territory gains any significant international notice, expect a new round of articles confidently asserting that ISIS has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with Islam, and beheading and sex slavery are completely un-Islamic. We saw a spate of such articles when ISIS established its now-destroyed caliphate in Iraq and Syria. […]
Miami: Muslim migrant father Emraan Ali and US-born son Jihad Ali charged with joining the Islamic State
Apparently Jihad Ali was not raised to be a loyal, patriotic citizen of a society in which there is no established religion. Why was that? Have law enforcement officials investigated the mosque this father and son attended, in order to try to ascertain whether or not what Emraan was clearly teaching young Jihad about the […]
Austria: Knife-wielding Muslim migrant screaming ‘Infidel, I’ll slaughter you’ attempts to murder man

Jihadis behind two plots a month in Europe, tens of thousands of Islamic State jihadis are scattered throughout EU
Is this really a surprise, given the recklessness of the European Union’s immigration policy? While European officials are foiling jihad plots on a regular basis, there is no system in place to stop Islamic supremacist preaching and jihad conquest messages from spreading. It is likely that such a system is not put in place out […]
New York Times features Muslim who claimed to be ISIS executioner, he is arrested for faking ISIS past
The credibility of the New York Times has for quite some time now been a matter of long-past history and propaganda myth. This is another nail in the Times’ coffin. You want news of jihad activity? You can’t trust the Times. You have to come to Jihad Watch. “Subject of NY Times podcast ‘Caliphate’ arrested […]
UK: 14-year-old converts to Islam, gathers bomb material, prosecutor says we may never know where he got these ideas
This boy is a convert to Islam. Prosecutor Anne Whyte QC says “he had plainly absorbed this offensive and hateful type of message from somewhere… but it is quite possible that we will never know from precisely where.” Why won’t we? Is it because it would be impossible to find out what turned him in […]
UK: Man converts to Islam, seeks advice on ‘how best to conduct jihad,’ downloads info on making a suicide vest
If there were a steady stream of converts to Christianity who turned to violence in the name of their new religion, would authorities be so sanguine? “Muslim convert Liam Fenn who downloaded videos on how to make suicide vest jailed,” by James Rodger, Birmingham Mail, September 29, 2020: An “obsessional” Muslim convert who downloaded videos […]
Canada: Muslims urge government to act against white supremacists as two Muslims are charged with joining ISIS
White supremacism may indeed be a major threat in Canada, but could there be an even greater threat that both the Muslim communities and the government are largely ignoring? “Canadian Muslims urge gov’t to act against hate groups,” by Barry Ellsworth, The Muslim News, September 25, 2020: TRENTON, Canada (AA): Following the murder of a […]
Turkey’s closeness to the Islamic State is yet more evidence that it is deserting its NATO ‘allies’
Erdogan’s Turkey has been quite active recently, from its conversion of the Hagia Sophia and its provocations in Greece to its ongoing threats to open the gates for millions of Muslim migrants to flood into Europe. Erdogan is ever more clearly an enemy of Kemalist secularism, and envisions the recreation of the Ottoman empire. Since […]
Texas: Man converts to Islam, plots jihad massacres as CIA, FBI and DEA headquarters
All the major Muslim organizations in the U.S. condemn the Islamic State (ISIS). So why, when Jaylyn Molina converted to Islam, did he fall prey to its supposedly twisted and hijacked understanding of Islam? Why wasn’t the peaceful, tolerant, true Islam that everyone assumes converts to Islam are taught in mosques in the U.S. able […]
US branches of Deutsche Bank suspected of facilitating funds to the Islamic State during its rule in Iraq
“From 2 to 13 February 2015, The Bank of America flagged 524 bank transfers moving from US bank accounts to various Iraqi bank branches for over $16.8 million, and from 18 to 20 May of the same year, The Bank of America flagged 244 bank transfers that ranged from $46.54 to as much as $28 […]
Niger: ISIS claims responsibility for murdering six French aid workers and Nigerien guide at giraffe reserve
As far as jihadis are concerned, the aid that infidels offer is only an attempt to entice Muslims away from Islam. Accordingly, it should not be received with gratitude, but with increased suspicion and hostility, which inevitably leads in some cases to violence. The Islamic State (ISIS) is also quite active in Mozambique. “Islamic State […]
India: Islamic State jihadis target Christian women via ‘love jihad,’ entice 21 to join the jihad terror group
These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community, and that because that is a good outcome, any means, including deception, may be pursued in order to attain it. In this case, the “love jihad” went even farther, […]
Sweden: Islamic school employs former Islamic State jihadis as teachers
I’ll say it again: what could possibly go wrong?

Islamic State remains flush with cash, holding financial reserves and assets ranging into the hundreds of millions of dollars
Why does the Islamic State have so much money? That is the question that few wish to face, and the reason why is clear from the answer: the Islamic State is flush with cash because there are some wealthy Muslims who believe in it. They consider it to be an authentic embodiment of Islamic doctrine […]
Mozambique: Islamic State takes over celebrity vacation islands, burns luxury hotels and imposes Sharia
The destruction of such places is for the Islamic State (ISIS) an act of devotion to Allah, not just because they consider luxury resort hotels to be centers of sin and debauchery, but because the Qur’an says that the ruins of non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: […]
Muslim migrant to US ‘found religion’ and joined ISIS: ‘I wanted to live in an Islamic country’
The conventional wisdom, hawked by mainstream counterterror analysts such as the appalling Max Abrahms, is that the Islamic State has nothing to do with genuine Islam, which Islamic jihadis generally know little to nothing about. Yet again and again we see jihadis themselves explaining that they turned to jihad after becoming devout in their observance […]
Austria: Muslim migrant prisoner threatens to behead fellow inmate and forms jihad terror cell in prison
All over the West, jihad recruitment and activity in prisons is a festering problem. Three years ago, authorities in Austria discovered a number of Islamic “hate books” in a prison library, “leading to fears Muslim inmates are being actively radicalised by hate preachers.” Last year, Britain’s Ministry of Justice discovered that “a group of radicalized […]
July 26: Islamic State urges US Muslims to ‘monitor well for a place you can set a fire without drawing attention’
With all the fires in California and other Western states nowadays, it is useful to recall that al-Qaeda and the Islamic State have for years been advocating using fires as a tool of jihad. As some Leftists have already been arrested for setting the fires, so in this yet again, the methods and goals of […]
Switzerland: Man converts to Islam, uses martial arts school to recruit for the Islamic State
Where did the “Emir of Winterthur” learn about his new religion? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? Why do so many converts to Islam somehow get the idea that their new religion calls upon them to commit acts of violence against unbelievers? Despite the fact that this keeps happening, authorities in Switzerland and everywhere […]
