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

Saudi journalist states that al-Aqsa Mosque is not in Jerusalem

Nov 18, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

Yamani is right about al-Aqsa not being in Jerusalem. Of course he doesn’t mean the structure that is called the al-Aqsa Mosque and is on the Temple Mount. He is referring to the al-Aqsa Mosque that is mentioned in the Qur’an: ” Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from the al-Haram mosque […]

UN: 138 countries approve draft resolution that speaks of Temple Mount solely as an Islamic holy site

Nov 7, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 19 Comments

The UN’s anti-Israel, anti-Western pro-Organization of Islamic Co-operation bias is not new. Its brazenness, however, as America continues to provide it with the largest financial contributions in the world, is becoming increasingly harder to ignore. This UN resolution also (again) delegitimizes Israel: The resolution was titled, “Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian […]

Islamic scholar: ‘The Muslim caliph will lead the Muslim armies and they will crush Paris completely’

Nov 3, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

Could Ali Abu Ahmed be clearer about his adherence to the Islamic idea that violent jihad must be waged in order to force Infidels to submit to Sharia? Will Western analysts heed his words and ponder their implications? Of course not. “Al-Aqsa Mosque Address By Sheikh Ali Abu Ahmad: Boycotting French Products Is Not The […]

Erdogan: ‘Jerusalem Has Been Our City For Thousands of Years’

Oct 4, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 45 Comments

Erdogan addressed the opening of the Turkish Parliament on October 1 with a ringing declaration that “Jerusalem Has Been Our City For Thousands of Years.” The “our” in “our city” seemed to refer now to the Turks, and now to the “Palestinian people.” The story is here. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday implied […]

Turkey’s Erdogan: ‘Jerusalem is our city’

Oct 3, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

Erdogan’s aspirations to restore the caliphate grow plainer by the day, but Western officials continue to ignore them. “‘Jerusalem is our city,’ Turkey’s Erdogan declares,” by Raphael Ahren, Times of Israel, October 1, 2020: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday implied that Jerusalem belongs to Turkey, referring to the Ottoman Empire’s control over the […]

Germany goes all in on financing the ‘Palestinian’ jihad, gives $62,000,000 to UNRWA

Sep 23, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 44 Comments

Should any country give a dime to UNRWA? No. Consider these news items: Hamas sleeper cell and Islamic Jihad discovered working together inside UNRWA June 25, 2019 UNRWA inciting jihad violence against Israel in its Jerusalem schools January 31, 2019 UNRWA schoolbooks in Gaza stress jihad, martyrdom, denial of Israel, and return of “refugees” by […]

International Union for Muslim Scholars forbids normalization with Israel

Sep 16, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 17 Comments

The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS), located in Qatar, is a leading organization in the “anti-Zionist” movement against Israel and all Western interests, so this prohibition of normalization is to be expected. The IUMS was founded by Yusuf Al Qaradawi, the infamous spiritual and ideological leader of the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Al Arabiya, […]

Those Embassies Moving to Jerusalem

Sep 8, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 7 Comments

There is more good news for Jerusalem on the diplomatic front. On September 4, Serbia announced that it was moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. And on the same day, Muslim-majority Kosovo announced that it would not only be establishing diplomatic relations with Israel, but according to Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci, will be placing […]

Official message from Abbas’ presidential office: Palestinian kids’ destiny is to die for Palestine

Aug 28, 2020 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Palestinian “resistance” has made its way into Congress via Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib (and their allies). It has become mainstream on American campuses through Muslim Student Associations. Its propaganda is sold virtually everywhere, leading innumerable people to accept the Palestinian jihad as a human rights issue. Yet its goal is and always has […]

Muslim cleric: When women obey Islamic law, ‘the Jews will be disappeared and Jerusalem be ready for a new conquest’

Aug 17, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine if a cleric of any other religion said something like this, which would never and should never happen. But this will receive no attention. It is taken for granted that Muslim clerics will say this sort of thing from time to time, and that it means nothing, nothing at all — taken for granted […]

Jordan Complains About Israelis Who ‘Storm the Mosque’ of Al Aqsa

Aug 8, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Jordan has just complained publicly about what it calls an Israeli “invasion of Al-Aqsa Mosque.” The preposterous complaint is here. Jordan reiterates to Israel: Al-Aqsa is a place for Muslim worship only. The ministry’s spokesperson Deifallah al-Fayez condemned the “continued Israeli violations.” The Kingdom of Jordan has requested that Israel “respect the sanctity” of the […]

Israel Apologizes and Sends Condolences for the Death of an Autistic Palestinian

Jun 10, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The story is from Reuters: More than a week after Israeli police shot dead an unarmed and autistic Palestinian in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called the killing a tragedy and offered his condolences to the family. Iyad al-Halaq, 32, was killed during a police chase in Jerusalem’s Old City on May 30. […]

Israel: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to stab police officers in Jerusalem

May 27, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This recalls the establishment media’s full-court press a few years ago to convince Americans that “Allahu akbar” was a benign phrase that only greasy Islamophobes could possibly be concerned about. In the New York Daily News, Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu […]

The Truth about Muslims’ ‘Jerusalem Day’ and the Al Aqsa Mosque

May 22, 2020 12:00 pm By Hesham Shehab

Today Arabs and Muslims celebrate International Jerusalem Day. Since it will undoubtedly include anti-Israeli demonstrations and religious-political propaganda, it is important to dispel some myths about the Al Aqsa Mosque’s history. The Umayyad Dynasty, based in Damascus, built Al Aqsa in the 8th century in order to divert Muslims from pilgrimage to Mecca. Later, in […]

Israel: Muslims throw firebombs at minibus carrying Jews

Mar 25, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why do jihad terrorists in Israel not hesitate to target civilians? Find out in The Palestinian Delusion. “Jerusalem: Minibus carrying Jews ambushed by firebomb-throwing Muslim terrorists,” BtNews, March 23, 2020: BREAKING: Once again, Muslim terrorists attempted to murder Jews by throwing firebombs at a minibus in the Silwan neighborhood of Jerusalem. The vehicle was completely […]

Muslim cleric: Time to establish caliphate, conquer Jerusalem, Rome, US, Russia, and the world, impose Sharia

Mar 18, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This idea comes from words attributed to Muhammad in a hadith. “We were with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) […]

Israel: Muslim who recently converted from Christianity fires at Israeli policemen at entrance to Temple Mount

Feb 6, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his peaceful religion to think that it has something to do with violence against Infidels. Yet there is still no program anywhere in the world to teach converts to Islam to reject this understanding of Islam that the majority of Muslims ostensibly reject. Now, why is that? Oh, the […]

Israel: Muslim runs down and injures twelve Israeli soldiers in vehicular jihad attack in Jerusalem

Feb 6, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is a frequent jihadi tactic. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their […]

Turkey: Demonstrators protest Trump peace plan, hold signs saying “Jerusalem belongs to Islam”

Jan 30, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again, supporters of the “Palestinians” invoke Islam. Yet mainstream Western analysts continue to ignore Islam in examining the Israeli/ “Palestinian” conflict. This is to the severe detriment of their peace plans, as The Palestinian Delusion shows in detail. “‘Jerusalem belongs to Islam’: Thousands across Turkey protest Trump’s Mideast plan,” Yeni Şafak, January 29, 2020: […]

Islamic State: “Today we have begun a new phase in our struggle with you. Our eyes now look towards Jerusalem.”

Jan 29, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The political and media elites in the West will blame this on Trump’s “Deal of the Century,” as if the jihad against the Jews hadn’t been going on for 1,400 years. “ISIS calls on operatives to target Jews with chemical weapons,” Jerusalem Post, January 28, 2020: ISIS spokesman and second Caliph Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi […]
