When I have pointed out that Sharia forbids music, I’ve been excoriated as a greasy Islamophobe. Unfortunately, the Islamic State appears to have been reading Islamophobic literature. Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or […]
Islamic State cites “grievances” in slaughter of 21 Copts
Islamic jihadis never fail to find an excuse to slaughter innocent Christians. For example, as discussed here, secular Western actions that have nothing to do with Christianity are often enough to provoke Muslims to blame, locate, and attack Christian minorities in their midst as way of “retribution.” Now, as shown in a new video, the Islamic […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Christian Slaughter in Libya
[FrontPage Magazine via RaymondIbrahim.com] The disputed fate of the 21 Coptic Christians abducted in Sirte, Libya is now clear and visible for all to see on video: while holding them down, Islamic State members shove their fingers in the Christians’ eyes, crane their heads back, and slice away at their throats with knives—all in the […]
Islamic State: “Great reward” for killing Coptic Christians
The following excerpt from the Islamic State captures well the perverse logic that its many members and even more sympathizers operate under. It recently appeared in an Islamic State report explaining why the jihadis executed 21 Coptic Christian workers abducted in (post- “Arab Spring”) Libya. The justification begins by positioning the 2010 Islamic raid on the Our Lady […]
Egypt bombs Islamic State targets in Libya after jihadis behead 21 Egyptian Christians
If it weren’t for Barack Obama, there wouldn’t be any Islamic State targets in Libya. If Barack Obama had his way, the Muslim Brotherhood would still be in power in Egypt, and Egypt would not have undertaken this strike. “Egypt bombs Islamic State targets in Libya after 21 Egyptians beheaded,” by Ahmed Tolba and Shadi […]
Sisi vows revenge for Islamic State’s murder of 21 Christians
“Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.” Note that the Islamic State is here referring to Egyptian Christians — the indigenous people of Egypt — as “Crusaders.” Their ignorance of history is in service of their claim that Christians have no place in the Middle East. Their fanatical adherence to Islamic […]
Libya: Islamic State of Tripoli murders 21 “humiliated followers of the Coptic church” #Christianlivesmatter
In North Carolina, a psychopath murdered three Muslims over a parking space, and we are admonished that #Muslimlivesmatter, and there are new calls for restricting speech that examines how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. About this incident, in contrast, there will be no such outrage, and […]
Libya: 40 severed heads found at Islamic militia training camp in Benghazi
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) These people may have been beheaded for fighting against this militia, and hence in the militia’s eyes making themselves into heretics or apostates — unbelievers. “Libya; sources, 40 severed heads found in Bengasi,” ANSAmed, February 11, 2015: (ANSAmed) – IL CAIRO, 11 FEB – Forty […]
Libya: Islamic State jihadists storm hotel, kill three, take hostages
Back in November, there were reports that the Islamic State was in control of the Libyan city of Derna. A couple of weeks ago, the Islamic State of Tripoli announced that it had kidnapped twenty-one Christian “Crusaders.” And now this. Libya has descended into jihadist chaos, courtesy Barack Obama. Note also how the determinedly clueless […]
Raymond Ibrahim: How the West Destroyed Libya
[Via Frontpage Mag] The full impact of Western intervention in Libya was recently highlighted during a televised interview of Worlds Apart. Hanne Nabintu Herland, a Norwegian author and historian who was born and raised in Africa for 20 years, was the guest. Before that, the African-born, Norwegian author said: At one point while talking about […]
Islamic State of Tripoli announces kidnap of 21 Christian “Crusaders”
The jihad war against the indigenous Christians of the Middle East continues, courtesy of the Islamic State’s Libyan arm. From the looks of these photos, these are not Western “invaders,” but Christians from the area. But keep this quiet: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the […]
Libya: Islamic jihadists kidnap thirteen Coptic Christians from Egypt
“Bishop Kevin, may I come in?” (Heavy sigh) “Yes, Father Bud. But make it quick, okay? I have to get down to Masjid Tamerlane for an outreach meeting.” “Yes, I know, Your G–” “Kev.” “Kev. Yes, I know. That’s why I came in. I just wanted to let you know that Islamic jihadists have just […]
Egyptian government accused of having double standards and failing to protect Copts in Libya
This is no surprise. It is in line with the fact that the churches that Muslim mobs burned in Egypt last year, and that the government promised to rebuild, are still in ruins. Even though the Egyptian government has moved strongly against the Muslim Brotherhood, there are still very many people in Egypt, and in […]
Libya: Islamic jihadis murder 13-year-old Christian girl
They had already murdered her parents. Will the Islamophobia never end? “Egyptian Coptic teen seized in Libya found dead,” AFP, December 26, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Benghazi – An Egyptian Coptic Christian teenager abducted in Libya by armed men who killed her parents has been found dead, a hospital source said on […]
Benghazi security team disputes House Intel Committee Report
“We were told to stand down. We were delayed for approximately 27 minutes on our compound. We do not know, as far as outside of our chain of command outside Libya, where that came from.” “Benghazi Annex Security Team Members Disagree Forcefully with House Intel Committee Report,” by Paula Bolyard, PJ Tatler, November 22, 2014: […]
House Intel Committee: Benghazi not escalation of peaceful protest
The Obama Administration narrative is definitively torpedoed in this report — and yet the mainstream media, even more craven and dishonest than usual, is spinning the report as an exoneration of Obama. “CIA gathered intelligence on weapons to Syria: Benghazi report,” by Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, FoxNews.com, November 22, 2014: A leading Republican wants […]
Islamic State now in complete control of Libyan city of Derna
On November 9 I posted here about how jihad factions in the Libyan city of Derna (aka Darna) had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Now they are in complete control of the city, as the caliphate expands its sphere of influence outside Iraq and Syria. “ISIS comes to Libya,” by Paul Cruickshank, Nic Robertson, […]
Libyan city of Darna pledges allegiance to the Islamic State
This shows again the appeal of the concept of the caliphate. It also yet again reveals the falsity of the mainstream analysis that the various manifestations of jihad around the world are actually separate and distinct nationalist insurgencies that have nothing to do with each other. “How a Libyan City Joined the Islamic State Group,” […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on Libyan rape gangs in UK and more
Here is video of my weekly Jihad Watch segment on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show, from Thursday. Topics (thanks to AlohaSnackbar01): 1) Libyan soldiers blame the British for not telling them the difference between right and wrong . . . that’s why they attacked and raped British girls. 2) Pro-Israel/anti-ISIS doctor investigated in Britain by […]
Libyan soldier blames Brits for sex attacks by Libyan cadets in UK: “They didn’t tell us…what’s the difference between right and wrong here.”
The British authorities should have told the Libyan cadets that in Britain, the Qur’an verses that allow for the capture and use of Infidel women as sex slaves are not to be acted upon. But to have told them that would have been “Islamophobic.” “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in […]
