It would be interesting to see a “moderate Muslim” spokesman in the West, one of the legion who hoodwink conservatives by claiming that Islam, rightly understood, is peaceful and benign, discuss or debate these assertions with Islam Behery, or try to refute what he says here. Instead, they will ignore it. Now, why is that? […]
Muslim cleric: Qur’an ‘calls – explicitly, loudly and resoundingly – to wage jihad for the sake of Allah’
Islamic apologists in the U.S. routinely deny this, and claim that passages such as Qur’an 9:29, which Adlan quotes below, refer only to incidents in Muhammad’s life and have no relevance for twenty-first century situations. How did ‘Atiyya ‘Adlan, a leading scholar of Islam, fail to grasp this? The Islamic apologists in the West couldn’t […]
“Jihad simply refers to a ‘struggle.’ Muslims use the term to discuss a spiritual struggle against one’s vices.”
This “Muslim American” letter-writer is angry that Trevor Bickford’s attack on two cops in Times Square was described as a “jihad.” Zane Chowdhry says that “commentators should avoid co-opting Islamic terms like jihad without nuance.” However, Bickford himself may have used the word. We know that he left behind a manifesto which was not published […]
Swedish court shuts down two Muslim schools over jihad ideology
It was only a matter of time before news of this kind would emerge from overly welcoming Sweden, which saw, by far, “more refugees per capita than any country in Europe,” and with them, “the death of the most generous nation on earth,” according to Foreign Policy Magazine. Open doors with no vetting was the […]
Sharia court top dog: ‘The pinnacle of Islam is jihad for the sake of Allah. They kill, they get killed.’
“Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, and in exchange for that, they will have Paradise. They fight for the sake of Allah. They kill, they get killed.” That’s Qur’an 9:111. “Allah said: ‘I will tell them,’ and He sent down [the verse in Quran]: ‘Think not of those who were […]
In Qatar, the World Cup Contains More Than a Dash of Da’wa
In Qatar, the government has gone all out to introduce more than a million non-Muslim visitors, in Doha to see the World Cup soccer matches, to the beauty and truth of Islam. Visitors to the matches pass displays where books on Islam’s sheer wonderfulness are free for the taking, and where Muslims who are experts […]
Islamic Studies prof: Those who reject Islam and refuse to pay the jizya must be fought
Now would be a perfect time for moderate Muslim spokesmen in the West to explain how Dr. Shafi al-Hajri is misunderstanding Islam, but don’t hold your breath. “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion […]
Canada: Muslim cleric denounces term ‘radical Islam,’ says only ‘enemies of Islam, or those who are ignorant’ use it
Many, many people use this term and take it for granted, including a large number of people who should know better and some who do know better. It was invented, like other terms, in order to distance Islam from the crimes that are routinely committed in its name and in accord with its teachings. It […]
Turkey refuses Israel’s request to expel Hamas, which it doesn’t view as terrorist
In mid-August, Muslim Brotherhood-supporting Turkey was accused of giving citizenship to Hamas members. Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. By the end of August, Turkey was granting citizenship to dozens of “most senior” Hamas jihadist operatives and their families. It is clear that Turkey is an active supporter of Hamas and also provides […]
Islamic scholar: Defensive jihad is abrogated in Qur’an, we will conquer the world and kill all Jews in Palestine
Islamic apologists in the West routinely continue to insist that in the Qur’an, jihad is only defensive. Will moderate Muslims in the West refute what Shadid says on Qur’anic grounds? No, they will ignore it, but all non-Muslim authorities will continue to take for granted that they Shadid has no Qur’anic case and no following […]
