When rational voices among Palestinians were denied the opportunity to speak up Reema Dodin, the Palestinian-American who will serve as a deputy director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs, has been raising some concerns all across the US political spectrum. Reema Dodin may sound enthusiastic when she talks about the Palestinian issue, and […]
Jordan condemns Muhammad cartoons and ‘misleading attempts to link Islam with terrorism’
What is Jordan doing to ensure that no Muslim in the future will decide that the proper response to those offensive cartoons is to behead the person who shows them? Why, nothing at all, of course. But if it genuinely wanted to delink Islam and terrorism, it would be working on that, rather than on […]
How Do You Solve A Problem Like Tamimi?
Ahlam Tamimi is the photogenic Palestinian Arab woman, and murderer, who was the mastermind of the suicide bombing at the Sbarro Pizzeria in Jerusalem in 2001. She selected the place and time of the attack for maximum casualties (families with children, on an outing to have pizza), and drove the bomber to the site, where […]
Jordan: Family of ex-Muslim lesbian threatens to kill her
This message was passed on to me by a Jihad Watch reader. This woman appears to be in urgent need of help, if she is even still alive, but the very authorities who should be protecting her are apparently abetting those who would take her life. This is Sharia and the rights of women in […]
Jordan Complains About Israelis Who ‘Storm the Mosque’ of Al Aqsa
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 […]
Jordan: Top court dissolves the nation’s Muslim Brotherhood branch
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is already outlawed in many countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. Although the Muslim Brotherhood has “dominated politics and unions in Jordan for decades,” it has been declining steadily and losing its grip on power due to internal problems and rifts. Over time it […]
Jordanian MP: ‘When the Arabs received Islam, it came with the idea that they are the masters of the world’
In this quintessential example of Islamic supremacism, Jordanian MP Mohammad Nouh Qudah asserts that Allah made Arabs different, and that this difference can be observed even in Arab children. He boasted that non-Muslims were created to work — under Arab guidance. “When Allah created us as ‘peoples and tribes’ [as the Quran says], He endowed […]
Does Israel “Steal” Private Palestinian Land in the West Bank?
The Jerusalem Post has an enlightening – and depressing – article here on land ownership in the “West Bank”: One of the most serious accusations against Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria to “end the occupation” and in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaigns is that Israel systematically steals or “seizes” “private Palestinian land.” Not […]
Israel, Jordan, and That “Peace Treaty” We Hear So Much About
As talk of Israel’s annexation of part of the “West Bank” continues, it is important to recall that last November, the Kingdom of Jordan cancelled a component of its 1994 peace treaty with Israel. It evicted Israeli famers from two tracts of contested land in the Jordan River Valley that they had been farming for […]
Egypt, Jordan Will Only Symbolically Condemn Israel
There are those who keep warning the Israelis not to declare their sovereignty in parts of Judea and Samaria (the “West Bank”), lest all hell break loose in the Arab states. There are others who claim that very little will in fact happen: a pro-forma denunciation from Arab states, but no breaking of peace treaties, […]
Withholding Aid to Jordan to Force Extradition of Ahlam Al-Tamimi
The United States is considering withholding aid to Jordan in an attempt to force the extradition of a terrorist wanted in connection with an attack that killed American citizens. The story is at the Jerusalem Post here. Ahlam Aref Ahmad al-Tamimi helped plan and aided the 2001 Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing in Jerusalem during the […]
Trump administration considers cutting aid to Jordan to pressure it to extradite convicted jihad mass murderer
They should not only do this. They should also make all aid contingent upon governments not aiding jihad activity in any way. “Trump Administration Weighs Cutting Aid to Pressure Jordan to Extradite Convicted Terrorist,” by Amir Tibon, Haaretz, June 16, 2020: WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is increasing its pressure on Jordan to extradite a […]
Islamic law professor says Allah sent coronavirus to those who “refused to subdue to the Lord of the universe”
This idea is based on the assumption that adherence to Sharia will bring one success and prosperity in this world as well as the next. That also leads to jihad activity, since jihad warfare against unbelievers is likewise a Sharia tenet. “Jordanian Professor Ahmad Nofal: Allah Sent COVID-19 To Subdue Those Who Refuse To Surrender […]
Ahlam Tamimi’s Middle East Terror Morality Tale (Part Four)
Ahlam Tamimi, a Hamas terrorist currently living in Jordan whom we discussed in the first three sections of this study, has been dubbed the “most wanted woman in the world” due to a $5 million FBI reward on her head. Nonetheless, Jordanian refusals to extradite for trial in the United States a woman who enjoys […]
Ahlam Tamimi’s Middle East Terror Morality Tale (Part Three)
Jordan’s terrorist icon, Ahlam Tamimi, should face justice in the United States, yet the “bitter truth is that everyone in Washington, Jerusalem and Amman knows it’s not likely to happen,” commentator Jonathan Tobin has accurately noted. Tamimi, the infamous mastermind of Jerusalem’s notorious 2001 Sbarro pizzeria Hamas suicide bombing, starkly illuminates the dark realities of […]
Ahlam Tamimi’s Middle East Terror Morality Tale (Part Two)
The previously discussed Hamas terrorist Ahlam Tamimi “has evolved into a pan-Arab media celebrity and a respected mainstream figure in Jordanian society.” Thus marveled Arnold Roth, the father of one of Tamimi’s murdered victims. Her fame as a Jordanian “national treasure,” after a 2011 Hamas-Israel prisoner exchange freed her from a lifetime behind bars, provides […]
Jordanian Muslim journalist: “Judaism permits to kill the non-Jewish other, regards the non-Jew as detested by God”
Projection alert: it is actually the Qur’an that calls upon Muslims to kill non-Muslims “wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5), and terms non-Muslims “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). “Jordanian Journalist: Judaism Is A Cancer That Harms Humanity; Barbaric Capitalism Is Rooted In Jewish Ideas,” MEMRI, April 9, 2020: In an antisemitic […]
Jordanian MP: “I dare any lawyer, engineer, or doctor to even say hello to a Jew”
He didn’t say “an Israeli.” He said “a Jew.” 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 (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s […]
Palestinians Are “Disappointed” In Initial Arab Response — Arab League Then Rejects the Trump Plan (Part 2)
When the Trump Plan was first rolled out at the White House, three Arab ambassadors – from Bahrain, the UAE, and Oman – were in attendance, in seeming support of the plan. Still other Arab countries – Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco – released remarks that treated the Trump Plan as a praiseworthy effort that could […]
Jordan: Muslim stabs eight people — six tourists, a guide, and a security officer — at popular tourism site
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. “Jordan Charges Stabbing Attack Suspect with Terrorism,” Asharq Al-Awsat, January 26, 2020: A Jordanian court on Sunday […]
