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

Kenya: Muslims open fire on bus, try to separate passengers by religion but discover they’re all Muslims

Oct 13, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 17 Comments

The jihadis apparently planned to execute the Christians on the bus, only there weren’t any. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when the Muslim in Minnesota who asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, […]

Kenya: ‘Avoid demonising Muslims and Islam in news stories by using such terms as Islamic terrorists and jihadists’

Oct 5, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 19 Comments

The problem with this is that Islamic jihadists themselves call themselves jihadists. They may even consider what they do to be terrorism, in line with the Qur’an’s command to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60). To call Islamic jihadists “Islamic jihadists” is not to demonize all Muslims, no matter how often this is […]

Kenya: Muslims defy lockdown for Ramadan, flood into Somalia, where mosques remain open

May 8, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Kenya now has concerns about an outbreak of the coronavirus, despite having stuck to lockdown rules. That’s because Kenya left its borders open. “Somalia has kept its mosques open during Ramadan despite the coronavirus pandemic, attracting a flood of faithful Kenyans from across the countries.’” This points to the reality of the risk to any […]

US airstrike takes out Muslim leader who masterminded murder of US soldier at Kenya airfield

Mar 1, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The man is suspected of planning and directing terrorist operations that included the Jan. 5 attack at Manda Bay Airfield in Kenya that claimed the life of Spc. Henry ‘Mitch’ Mayfield Jr., 23, and two military contractors.” Why are U.S. troops at Manda Bay Airfield? Are we stopping jihad activity in East Africa? If so, […]

Kenya: Muslims murder two Christians when they could not say the Shahada, the Islamic profession of faith

Feb 21, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Shahada is the first chapter and most common prayer of the Qur’an. This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota in September 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, […]

Kenya: Muslims murder three Christian teachers in jihad raid on primary school

Jan 17, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The attacks in Diiso, Saretho and Kamuthe were all preceded by credible information and intelligence from the public but the county security teams did not act as required.” Why not? Either cowardice, which is pandemic these days, or sympathy for the jihadis. “Kenya: Al-Shabaab extremists execute 3 Christian teachers in raid on primary school,” by […]

Kenya: Muslims storm military base, murder 3 Americans

Jan 10, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Al-Shabaab stormed a military base used by Kenyan and U.S. forces and murdered 3 Americans. A statement was issued by AFRICOM Commander-U.S. Army General Stephen Townsend: Alongside our African and international partners, we will pursue those responsible for this attack and al-Shabaab who seeks to harm Americans and U.S. interests. We remain committed to preventing […]

Kenya: Muslim neighbors call for the slaughter of man who left Islam, police arrest no one

Jan 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]

Kenya: Muslims murder at least nine Christians for failing to recite the Islamic profession of faith

Dec 12, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is reminiscent of other incidents, including when a Muslim in Minnesota in September 2016 asked mall shoppers if they were Muslim and then stabbed non-Muslims. In the Philippines in February 2019, Muslims murdered a man for failing to recite Qur’an verses, while releasing six others who could recite them. In Mali in November 2015, […]

Muslims arrested on suspicion of terror acts, cleric says “extremists have used Qur’an to portray Islam as violent”

Oct 29, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Extremist groups have used the Koran to portray Islam as a violent religion intolerant of other faiths. There is nowhere in the scriptures that says you must kill another person to go to paradise.” Indeed, it doesn’t say that you must kill another person to go to paradise. But that is a straw man.

Kenya: Kidnapped Italian aid worker forced to convert to Islam

Oct 4, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

During her kidnapping last year, a woman and four children were wounded when jihadists armed with AK-47 rifles opened fire during the attack. Italian intelligence officials have now claimed that Silvia Romano has been forced to “convert to Islam and marry a Somalian man.” This is a phenomenon we often see in jihad-infested territories: infidel […]

Kenya: Muslim leaders oppose new anti-terror law

Jul 14, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

In the U.S., we regularly see Muslim groups opposing counterterror measures, and this story shows that this is an international phenomenon. Muslim groups in the West consistently assert that they oppose terrorism (without ever specifically defining what it is), but often also oppose any attempt to do anything about it. “Muslims lobby oppose school anti-terror […]

Kenya: Muslim cops beat and arrest Christian for refusing to renounce Christianity

Jan 26, 2019 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

The world will take little, if any, notice of this. It would only be newsworthy if Christian police officers had beaten and arrested a Muslim for refusing to renounce Islam, but despite the moral equivalence and demonization of Christianity in the establishment media, that kind of thing doesn’t happen. “Muslim Police Officers, Others Beat and […]

Kenya: Jihad suicide bomber was recruited for jihad by a Muslim cleric at a mosque

Jan 22, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

This is odd, right? After all, we all know Islam is a religion of peace. How did Aboud Rogo and the other people at the Masjid Musa come to misunderstand the religion they were dedicated to living out properly? Surely the learned imam Pope Francis is on his way to Kenya now in order to […]

Kenya: Four Muslims storm hotel and office complex, gunfire and explosions, nearby building evacuated

Jan 15, 2019 9:41 am By Robert Spencer

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) “Nairobi attack: hotel complex hit by gunfire and explosions,” by Jason Burke, […]

A Kenyan says Somali Muslims come to Europe “for your free benefits which are paid out with your taxpayers’ money”

Dec 20, 2018 10:36 am By Joshua Winston

I had the pleasure of interviewing a Kenyan on the question of why Europe is being flooded with African, and specifically Somali, men. I cannot name him because you know how hair-trigger these people can be when you mention their religion. Here is what he said: Thank you! I am from Kenya and currently reside here. […]

Kenya: Muslims storm school, murder Christian teachers

Oct 17, 2018 6:46 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Over 20 suspected Al Shabaab jihadis in Mandera County (on Kenya’s border with Somalia) stormed into a housing complex “where non-local teachers live” and detonated a bomb, which instantly killed two Christian teachers. Two other Christian teachers managed to escape. Jihadists have routinely terrorized local churches and schools where Christian teachers are found. The world […]

“Fredrick was on top of a new house he was contracted to build. His two assistants were on the ground mixing mortar when the mob arrived in [a] hurry, chanting takbir, takbir, takbir. From a distance, I saw the men hurling construction stones towards Fredrick and his coworkers.” The takbir is “Allahu akbar,” i.e., Allah […]
