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

Muslims attack International Women’s Day marchers in Kyrgyzstan and Turkey, as well as Pakistan

Mar 12, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Yesterday Jihad Watch reported that Muslim hardliners had attacked Women’s Day marchers in Pakistan. It is not surprising that this has happened in other Muslim countries as well: “While the world…celebrated International Women’s Day with joyful events and colourful initiatives, women’s marches were attacked in Muslim-majority Asian countries, namely Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Turkey. In some […]

Putin: “Islam and Orthodox Christianity are based on fundamental humanistic values — respect for human beings”

Nov 24, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Interesting! Respect for human beings, eh? Like these passages? “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those […]

Kyrgyzstan: Muslims beat ex-Muslim almost to death for converting to Christianity

Apr 11, 2019 8:00 am 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 […]

Kyrgyzstan: Muslim officials order church made up of converts from Islam to Christianity to close

Jul 6, 2018 1:35 pm By Robert Spencer

It could have been worse. They could have killed everyone involved. They must be “moderates.” Islamic apologists in the West routinely insist that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, but as always, reality is otherwise. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would […]

St. Petersburg jihad murderer is Muslim from Kyrgyzstan, Akbarzhon Jalilov

Apr 4, 2017 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

The Telegraph says: “No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and the suspect’s motives remain unclear.” The Telegraph, like other establishment media outlets, is a wretched propaganda sheet determined to mislead the public into thinking that Islamic jihad terror is not as much of a problem as it actually is. “Who is St […]

Kazakh Islamic State jihadi posts photos of Central Asian “Caliphate Cubs”

Jun 17, 2015 4:49 pm By Robert Spencer

Raising up the next generation of bloodthirsty killers dedicated to destroying the free world. But relax! They’re a tiny minority of extremists who have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam! Note the raised index finger gesture that has become the hallmark of adherents of the Islamic State. We saw it from other adherents of the […]

Kyrgyzstan: Imam arrested for urging Muslims to fight for Islamic State

Feb 19, 2015 10:22 am By Robert Spencer

But Obama just told us again: the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam! How is it, then, that a Muslim cleric, someone who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly, would get it so drastically wrong? His supporters here claim that his arrest is politically motivated, and it may be indeed, but […]

Kyrgyztsan: 1,000 Muslims rally: “I am not Charlie, I love my Prophet.”

Feb 1, 2015 8:13 am By Robert Spencer

Now we have seen rallies against the Charlie Hebdo cartoons in Chechnya (800,000 people), Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Ingushetia, Niger (45 churches torched), Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. Nary a single Muslim rally anywhere in support of the freedom of speech and denouncing the killing of the cartoonists. “About 1,000 Attend ‘I Am Not Charlie’ Rally In Kyrgyzstan,” […]

Kyrgyzstan: Supreme Court outlaws Ahmadis

Jul 25, 2014 10:27 am By Robert Spencer

Many times I’ve noted that while Sunni Muslims viciously persecute Ahmadi Muslims in Pakistan, Indonesia, and now Kygyzstan, Ahmadi Muslim spokesmen in the West such as the clownishly arrogant Qasim Rashid and the ostentatiously self-righteous Haris Zafar eagerly carry water for their persecutors, whitewashing the very Islamic doctrines that get their brethren persecuted, and smearing […]

Kyrgyzstan: Muslim clerics ban New Year’s celebrations

Dec 26, 2012 10:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]

Islamic Movement of Kyrgyzstan misunderstands Islam, seeks “to undermine social, political, and economic stability in the country”

Apr 30, 2011 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

We are constantly lectured in the West about how genuine Islam fosters peace, harmony, and societal stability. Then there are stories like this one, for which the learned analysts simply have no explanation. Why does a group that seeks to undermine society call itself Islamic? The true answer, of course, is that Islam is political, […]

Jan 5, 2011 5:15 am By Robert Spencer

No dhimmis in Kyrgyzstan

Jan 10, 2004 9:14 am By Robert Spencer

There’s a new report on religious freedom in Kyrgyzstan. It is instructive because there is a substantial Muslim population in the country formerly a part of the Soviet Union. “As in other Central Asian republics, authorities in Kyrgyzstan have banned Hizb ut-Tahrir, an international Islamic organization advocating the creation of a region-wide Islamic caliphate and […]
