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

Hugh Fitzgerald: Among Schoolchildren, or Islam Outreach in Japan

Jun 6, 2016 5:04 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In Japan, concerned about “anti-Muslim hostility,” some teachers have had the bright idea of having their pupils “learn about Islam” by visiting the main mosque in Tokyo. Of course, they must have thought, what better way to have their students get an “unbiased glimpse of Islam” than to visit a mosque, where Muslims welcome their […]

Japanese PM “infuriated” by Islamic State’s murder of Japanese hostage

Feb 1, 2015 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Well, he has one up on Obama, who has never been “infuriated” by jihad murders. But in response, Abe vowed to “persist with [Japan’s] non-military support for fighting terrorism.” I am sure the caliph is quaking in fear over that. This is just the sort of pusillanimous response that the Islamic State is counting on […]

Islamic State beheads second Japanese hostage

Jan 31, 2015 6:41 pm By Robert Spencer

“Goto’s killing, he said, was the result of ‘reckless’ decisions by the Japanese government.” In other words, the Japanese government didn’t kowtow and surrender. How long will these thugs commit murder and mayhem while the leaders of the free world stand by and do nothing but claim, “This has nothing to do with Islam”? “IS […]

Jordan ready to release jihad mass murderer to Islamic State in exchange for Jordanian hostage

Jan 28, 2015 12:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Why is there so much jihad terrorism around the world these days? Because it works. These thugs know that they can take hostages and get governments to do their bidding. If Sajida al-Rishawi murders any more people in the cause of Islam and jihad, the blood will be on the hands of the governments of […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Islamic State Makes New Demand on Japan

Jan 27, 2015 11:20 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage I explain why it is still never wise to negotiate with terrorists. Having murdered one of its Japanese hostages, Haruna Yukawa, the Islamic State issued an audio recording purportedly of the other, Kenji Goto, pleading for his life and making a new demand. Yukawa had been “slaughtered,” said the man claiming to be Goto. […]

Islamic State demands release of jihad murderer to spare Japanese hostage

Jan 26, 2015 11:09 am By Robert Spencer

“The voice of a person claiming to be Goto speaks over the image, saying in English that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is to blame for Yukawa’s death.” Of course. Islamic jihadists don’t believe that they are ever to blame for anything. Everything they do is the fault of the Infidels. And all too many […]

New video claims Islamic State jihadis have beheaded one of their two Japanese hostages

Jan 24, 2015 12:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“He didn’t care about his safety because he believed he and people of IS would be able to understand each other, as members of the global community.”… No one who understands the Islamic State would ever have said such a thing. “Video purportedly released by IS claims to have beheaded one of two hostages,” i24news, […]

Japanese PM: “Extremism and Islam are completely different things”

Jan 20, 2015 8:53 pm By Robert Spencer

The imam Not-Quite-Honest Abe joins his fellow imams Barack Obama, John Kerry, Joe Biden, David Cameron, Theresa May and others in explaining that what the Islamic State is doing has nothing to do with Islam. The Islamic State jihadis would beg to differ, of course, and have convinced unprecedented numbers of young Muslims in the […]

Islamic State threatens to kill 2 Japanese hostages unless Tokyo pays $200 million

Jan 20, 2015 1:02 pm By Robert Spencer

This is precisely in accord with Islamic law. “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the […]

Japan offered to hide Bamiyan statues, but Taliban asked Japan to convert to Islam instead

Feb 26, 2010 1:53 pm By Robert Spencer

As far as the Taliban is concerned, the Bamiyan Buddhas were worthless trash from the jahiliyya period of Afghanistan — the time of pre-Islamic ignorance. “Japan offered to hide Bamiyan statues, but Taliban asked Japan to convert to Islam instead,” from Japan Today, February 27 (thanks to Twostellas): WASHINGTON — Japan offered to hide Afghanistan’s […]

Japanese deny ransom sought for old soldiers

May 30, 2005 2:22 pm By Robert Spencer

Here’s a strange one. Have you heard that the Japanese are looking for a couple of World War II soldiers, both in their mid- to late-eighties, who may still be alive and in the Philippines? Well, some reports have indicated that Islamic jihadists from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) have the old men and […]

Japan Says Body Found Not Iraq Hostage

A refreshingly insightful look at suicide bombers — from a Japanese former kamikaze pilot. From the LA Times, with thanks to Anthony: The survivors bitterly resent the world’s appropriation of the term “kamikaze” — meaning “divine wind” and originally coined to describe the unexpected typhoons that saved 13th century Japan from invading Mongol ships — […]

Even though it only had 51 troops in Iraq, the Philippines has dealt the coalition and the free world a major blow by caving in to terrorist demands and withdrawing them. Not only will they not bring peace to the Philippines or the Middle East, but many more people will be murdered by the terrorists. […]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — Three Japanese hostages who had been threatened with death unless Tokyo withdrew its troops from Iraq were released Thursday, a day after militants executed an Italian captive.
