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

Pakistan: State-supported Islamic seminary boasts of how many jihad terrorists are among its alumni

Nov 18, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

Why is it that the teachers in this seminary seem to miss all the peaceful teachings of the Qur’an and Islam in general that are so crystal clear and obvious to non-Muslims such as Pope Francis, Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel, John Kerry, et al? Will any of these leaders or others like them travel to […]

India: Teacher at Islamic school arrested for being part of al-Qaeda cell

Nov 5, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 8 Comments

Abdul Momin Mondal was a teacher in Raipur Darul Huda Islamia Madrassa. How is it that this man who had clearly dedicated a considerable amount of time to understanding Islam correctly and communicating it properly could have so misunderstood the Religion of Peace as to think it called upon him to commit acts of violence […]

Pakistan: Teacher at Islamic school beheads Macron effigy, ‘This is the punishment of the Prophet’s slanderer’

Nov 4, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 14 Comments

The children cheered. Counseling Muslim children to commit murder in response to insults to Muslim sensibilities constitutes severe psychological abuse by Western standards. One can only imagine the horror and outrage if any Western teacher did something similar in her classroom.  It is worthwhile to remember the obvious: barbaric practices sanctioned by Sharia do not […]

Philippines’ largest Muslim organization slams Armed Forces chief for calling for monitoring of Islamic schools

Oct 22, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 15 Comments

This call by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is a sensible and effective one which should be implemented not only in the Philippines, but in all nations that are seeking to curb the spread of the jihad ideology. The outrage over this call from the National Ulama Cooperation of the Philippines (NUCP) is […]

India: Three madrassa teachers arrested in Jammu and Kashmir after 13 students join jihad terror group

Oct 15, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 3 Comments

What? How can this be? How could it possibly have happened that an Islamic school would be teaching students to view Islam in a way that would lead them to join jihad terror groups? Don’t they know that jihad terror groups have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam? Pope Francis, call your office! “3 Madrassa […]

Philippines: Islamic schools investigated for recruitment of jihad suicide bombers

Oct 15, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

This would be no surprise. This verse is in the Qur’ans studied at madrassas: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111) “AFP looking into possible involvement of Islamic schools in […]

Indian girl converts to Islam, moves to Bangladesh, becomes recruiter for jihad terror group

Jul 23, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Where did Pragya Debnath learn about Islam? Who taught her? What has been taught in her mosque? Why isn’t her mosque being investigated? Here yet again we see a convert to Islam immediately get the idea that her new religion calls for violence against unbelievers. Authorities remain wholly uninterested in investigating this recurring phenomenon. “West […]

Turkey’s Religious Affairs top dog: ‘Hagia Sophia shouldn’t only be place of worship,’ should be ‘a madrasa inside’

Jul 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Training a new generation of jihadis and Islamic supremacists inside what was the foremost cathedral in Christendom for nearly a millennium — what could be more deliciously illustrative of the triumph and supremacy of Islam? “Turkey’s Top Imam Now Wants to Build an Islamic School at Hagia Sophia,” by Tasos Kokkinidis, Greek Reporter, July 12, […]

Afghanistan: Nine students at Islamic school murdered in mortar blast

Jun 19, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Who would have done this? “Islamophobes”? No, of course. There are no “Islamophobes” in Afghanistan. This was done by Muslims, targeting Muslims of a rival group, or those whom the attackers deemed to be insufficiently Muslim. This is a manifestation of the culture of violence that emanates from the idea that the supreme being commands […]

Norway: Ministry of Children and Family Affairs helps Muslim migrants send children to abusive Quran schools abroad

May 28, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Education and Integration Minister Guri Melby blames Norway for the failure of Muslim migrants to assimilate: “We haven’t been good enough. The main rule for this not to happen is for families to be well integrated in Norway, well acquainted with Norwegian values and that the children to be familiar with their rights.” Yet “Norwegian […]

Afghanistan: Islamic schools for children are breeding grounds for Islamic State influence

Jan 31, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

This is no surprise. There has long been a problem with the preaching of jihad in Afghan schools, and in those in neighboring Pakistan also. A 2015 study by the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit turned up “extensive activity” by jihadist groups in schools; groups including Hizb ut-Tahrir, Jamiat-e-Islah, and Tehrik-e-Islami. These groups were found […]

Nigeria: Hundreds of children and adults freed from “house of torture” Islamic school

Oct 2, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Nearly 500 men and boys have been rescued from a building in the northern city of Kaduna, where the detainees were allegedly sexually abused and tortured.” Slavery, chaining, beatings and starvation were also reported; the children who suffered were as young as 5. It all happened at an Islamic Center, a fact that BBC readers […]

UK Muslim community turned against victim of sexual abuse — “All people wanted me to do was be quiet”

May 19, 2018 7:36 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Muslim told a court that his community turned against him after he made sexual abuse allegations against a spiritual leader. Abuse can happen anywhere and by anyone, but when a religious community turns against a victim, it is telling. It reveals how far a community will go to protect its pride, its image and […]

Sweden: Pro-Sharia advocate of polygamy and wife-beating gets green light to open Islamic school

Feb 16, 2018 9:18 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

After protracted deliberations, the Islamic School Foundation has been ultimately granted the right to open a contested Muslim “free school” in the city of Borås. The project was driven by Abdirizak Waberi, “a former Conservative politician of Somali descent,” who has been open about his views supporting polygamy and wife-beating. So Sharia values will form […]

Beating wives if they refuse sex is OK, according to books in Britain’s Islamic schools

Nov 29, 2017 8:58 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Books that sanction domestic violence and say women should never refuse their husbands sex are among a series of sexist materials that inspectors have found in Britain’s Islamic schools. The education watchdog has compiled a file of the worst examples. Britain now has a two-tier legal system. Over 84 Sharia courts are beyond the reach […]

Australia: Islamic school teaches “Peace can only be achieved through establishment of Islam”

Oct 6, 2017 5:22 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

An Islamic school instructed teachers to tell students their faith should be ‘established’ across Australia. There is nothing surprising about such a statement. Sharia is regarded as above all laws, and Australia is regarded as part of the House of War to be brought under the hegemony of the House of Islam. These ideas are […]

A Luton Islamic School which segregated staff by gender and hosted radical speakers has been slammed by the Charity Commission and accused of misconduct. Big deal, now what?  The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) also noted in a report last year that “leaders and governors…. undermine the school’s work to […]

Farrah Marfatia is the principal of a Muslim academy in Mississauga, near Toronto, Ontario.

“We teach our children the value of love above religious sentiments. We train them for peace and love. That’s why they are not involved in any kind of activity that’s detrimental to peace. Students who are educated in other institutions — they are the ones involved in violent activities.” “There are no jihadis here, because […]

Kenya: Madrassa students and teacher arrested on way to join jihad terror group

Jun 16, 2014 6:19 pm By Robert Spencer

Now wait a minute. Madrassa students spend the bulk of their time studying and memorizing the Qur’an. So according to the conventional wisdom, they’re the last people who would be interested in joining a jihad terror group, because they know well that Islam is a Religion of Peace that eschews violence. So how did they, […]
