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

The Qur’an ‘contains errors of spelling, syntax and grammar; it is estimated there are about 2,500 such mistakes’

Sep 4, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

This is an extraordinary admission, as it is a staple of Islamic apologetics to claim that the there are no mistakes in the Qur’anic text at all, as it has been perfectly preserved by Allah through the centuries. But Ahmad Hashem and Jarjis Gulizada are just two of the Islamic authorities who are beginning to […]

Last Friday, “Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’” rioted over a Quran-burning rally in Sweden, as a Danish politician and Quran-burner himself, Rasmus Paludan, was blocked from entering the country During the riots, overt antisemitism was displayed: Slogans against Jews were shouted by the crowd.

France: Muslim with explosives robs bank, takes hostages, starts preaching and reciting Qur’an

Sep 1, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Clearly another case of that “mental illness” we keep hearing so much about. “Hostage Describes Islamist Elements of Armed Bank Robbery,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, August 30, 2020: A bank employee who was taken hostage along with five others has revealed that the man who took them prisoner showed signs of Islamic radicalism, preaching and […]

Egypt: Man gets 15 years prison for claiming he had a new revelation from Allah and ‘new Qur’an’

Aug 29, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Muhammad is not the father of one of your men, but the messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, knowing.” (Qur’an 33:40) And what if you don’t believe that? That’s your business, but if you make a statement that contradicts the Islamic faith, you could face prison […]

Sweden: Muslims screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ riot over Qur’an-burning rally, Danish Qur’an-burner banned from country

Aug 29, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

I’m not in favor of burning the Qur’an. I believe people should read it and understand its contents rather than burn it. But in a free society, book-burning is not or should not be illegal. It is part of the freedom of expression; we may dislike it, but to outlaw it would restrict the freedom […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant indoctrinated children with jihad terror propaganda during Qur’an class

Aug 20, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

“In one of the films, a leader of the Somali terrorist militia al-Shaabab calls for infidels to be killed ‘as cruelly as possible’. The flag of the Islamic State (IS) flies in the background.” That’s just extremism, right? It couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the Qur’an’s repeated exhortations to “kill them wherever you […]

Tunisian woman sentenced to prison for desecrating Qur’an flees to Germany, where ‘freedom of speech is respected’

Aug 13, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

At least for now. But Germany has brought in massive numbers of people who believe that freedom of speech is unworthy of respect, and who would likely think that Emna Chargui’s sentence was just, so the arena of freedom is contracting. “Woman Sentenced to Six Months for Quran Desecration Flees Tunisia,” IQNA, August 11, 2020 […]

Indonesia: Man jailed on blasphemy charges for ripping Qur’an apart

Aug 11, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Last year, Indonesia’s Supreme Court rejected an appeal by an ethnic Chinese Buddhist woman who was sentenced to 18 months in jail for complaining about the volume of a mosque’s call to prayer. The case fuelled fears that Indonesia’s moderate brand of Islam was coming under threat from increasingly influential radicals.” No kidding, really? But […]

What is the Qur’an and what does it teach? A rebuttal of Dr. Garry Wills

Jul 27, 2020 12:00 pm By Isaac Marshall

 With 1.2 million views on YouTube, the video ‘What is the Qur’an: A Christian Reads the Qur’an’ is easily the most viewed video from the Emir-Stein Center, yet it is also the shortest, at only 3 minutes and 51 seconds. While I expected an impartial introductory video with no need for deceit, this was […]

Tunisia: Blogger gets prison for post about coronavirus written in the style of the Qur’an

Jul 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“And if you are in doubt as to which We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a sura like it, and call on your helper, besides Allah, if you are truthful.” Qur’an 2:23 Emna Charqui took up this challenge, probably unwittingly, and so must go to prison. For even though the Qur’an is presenting […]

Was Muhammad a Prophet of War? A Rebuttal of Professor Juan Cole

Jul 17, 2020 12:00 pm By Isaac Marshall

 ‘The Qur’anic verses commanding self-defence have been cherry-picked by anti-Muslim writers and by small cells of extremists to depict the Prophet and the community as militant. This is far from accurate’. This excerpt is from what I believe is the most disgraceful video I have ever seen on Islam: Muhammad: A Prophet of War? […]

National Review claims that jihadis’ ‘conception of Islam relies on a flawed reading of the Koran’

Jul 16, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Maybe it’s something in the water over at National Review. The magazine claims to be conservative, and to be dedicated to upholding the values of Western civilization. Sometimes it lives up to that. Often it is sensible. More often, however, it is weak, cowardly, and submissive to the Left. And sometimes it is so far […]

International Union of Muslim Scholars: “Supporting Palestinian resistance is a form of jihad for the sake of Allah”

Jul 12, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), “backed by Qatar and Turkey, and other Islamic organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement calling on Muslims to wage jihad and self-sacrifice” to halt the plan of the Netanyahu government to assert Israeli sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria. A large number of Muslim […]

Justice and equality in the Qur’an: “Say, ‘O People of the Book, do you resent us except that we have believed in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?’ Say, ‘Shall I inform you of worse than that as penalty from Allah […]

Austria: Muslims threaten to murder politician for criticizing the Qur’an

Jun 19, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Muslims who are threatening Hofer do not accept the principle of the freedom of speech. Either Austria will defend that principle, or surrender it. That goes for all the other countries in the free world as well. And so far, the record of defense of this idea, the linchpin of any free society, is […]

Turkey’s Diyanet: Schoolchildren leave Islam after reading the Koran

Jun 11, 2020 12:00 pm By Uzay Bulut

A prominent member of Turkey’s highest Islamic institution, the Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), stated that children who read the Turkish translation of the Koran “start gravitating towards” atheism and deism, a belief in a non-interventionist creator. The statement was made by Professor Cağfer Karadaş during an interview with the pro-government newspaper Yeni Şafak on […]

Will Soleiman Hamed be investigated for inciting violence? Of course not. Would he be if he were anything but a Muslim, and a Muslim cleric at that? Of course. But no one is going to be so “Islamophobic” as to scrutinize what he is saying here, and no “moderate” spokesman is going to bother to […]

Palestinian Authority’s Supreme Sharia Judge invokes Qur’an: “Kill them wherever you find them”

May 30, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Kill them wherever you find them” appears in the Qur’an at 2:191 and 4:89, and 9:5 says “kill the idolaters wherever you find them.” Mahmoud Al-Habbash’s words here shows how seriously some Muslims today take these commands. 1,400 years have proven that individuals, groups and countries have been committing the worst abuses against humanity in […]
