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

Mali: Jihadists murder 42 at military camp in area France’s Hollande just visited

Jan 18, 2017 12:35 pm By Robert Spencer

“French Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux described the blast as a ‘major and highly symbolic attack’ in an area visited only days ago by French President François Hollande.” Indeed, that is highly symbolic, of the French (and general Western) inability to stop jihad activity. “Dozens killed in suicide attack on Gao military camp in northern […]

Muslim gets nine years for destroying shrines in Timbuktu

Sep 27, 2016 12:13 pm By Robert Spencer

“The leadership of Ansar Dine believed that the shrines violated Islamic legal codes.” That means there will be much more of this sort of thing, as there has been throughout Islamic history. “Extremist Gets 9-Year Sentence Over Destroyed Shrines in Timbuktu,” by Marlise Simons, New York Times, September 27, 2016: PARIS — Judges at the […]

He was engaged at what he almost certainly thought of at the time as a holy endeavor, removing temptations to idolatry. “Extremist Pleads Guilty in Hague Court to Destroying Cultural Sites in Timbuktu,” by Marlise Simons, New York Times, August 22, 2016: PARIS — An Islamic extremist pleaded guilty on Monday at the International Criminal […]

Mali: Jihadis attack army base, murder 17 soldiers, wound 35

Jul 20, 2016 7:42 am By Robert Spencer

Jihadis worldwide growing more aggressive. “Islamist militants kill 17 soldiers in attack on Mali army base,” by Adama Diarra and Tiamoko Dialo, Reuters, July 19, 2016: Islamist militants killed 17 Malian soldiers and wounded 35 when they attacked an army base in the center of the country, firing on troop positions, burning buildings and pillaging […]

Al-Qaeda claims Mali jihad murders: “All praise is due to Allah”

Mali jihad attack: at least 27 murdered as hostage situation ends

Nov 20, 2015 3:50 pm By Robert Spencer

With the jihadis more aggressive than ever worldwide, the Islamic supremacist propaganda machine in the West is again kicking into high gear, churning out another avalanche of articles about how Islam is a Religion of Peace. But the machine won’t be able to convince people to ignore the growing mountain of contrary evidence forever. “Mali […]

Mali: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” take hostages, free those who can recite Qur’an

Nov 20, 2015 7:53 am By Robert Spencer

We have seen this before on several occasions in Kenya. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 non-Muslims who couldn’t recite Qur’an verses. In April 2015, Muslims […]

Muslim accused of destroying Timbuktu monuments sent to Hague

Sep 26, 2015 3:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad himself is depicted in a hadith as appearing to be in favor of such actions: “Narrated ‘Aisha and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas: When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Apostle came he started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his […]

“In the name of the Guardians of Jihad, we announce that the Hand of the Prophet will help us slay all foreign journalists in Mali”

Aug 31, 2015 4:13 pm By Robert Spencer

The Guardians of Jihad are apparently not happy with the press coverage they’re getting. Why not send them Christiane Amanpour or Niraj Warikoo or Lisa Wangsness or Manya Brachear or any one of a thousand other mainstream media “journalists” who do their utmost to whitewash Islamic jihad terror and to demonize those who oppose it?

Mali: Jihadis storm hotels, murder 4, kidnap 6

Aug 7, 2015 5:41 pm By Robert Spencer

“One of the most brazen attacks in months.” After being driven out of power by the French several years ago, the jihadis in Mali are bolder than ever. Clearly they see the world turning in their direction. “4 dead, 6 kidnapped after Islamic extremists attack hotels in Mali,” Associated Press, August 7, 2015 (thanks to […]

Mauritania frees senior Malian Islamic jihadist

Aug 7, 2015 6:47 am By Robert Spencer

“Freeing an individual of this calibre will obviously allow him to again take up his jihadist activities and continue to commit crimes.” Why did Mauritania free such a man? Could it be that the Mauritanian government is sympathetic to his cause? That seems obvious, but no Western government will face it or its implications. “Mauritania […]

Mali: Islamic jihadists kill ten soldiers

Aug 5, 2015 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadists took control of a large portion of Mali several years ago and established a Sharia state, but the French drove them out. They have, however, not given up. Ansar Dine means Helpers of the Religion. Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “10 soldiers killed in attack on Mali camp: military,” […]

Mali: Police arrest 20 Islamic jihadists on bus bound for capital

Jul 16, 2015 9:26 am By Robert Spencer

The jihadis “want to show that they can strike anywhere, north or south.” With plots in France and Mali over the last few days, as well as lone jihadis plotting in Boston and acting in Rome and Boise, Idaho, they are showing that well. “Police in Mali Nab 20 Suspected Islamist Militants on Bus Bound […]

French troops kill Mali jihadist who had been freed in exchange for hostage

Jul 8, 2015 3:42 am By Robert Spencer

This is one reason why Islamic jihad groups take non-Muslim hostages — they often get cash, lots of it, in exchange for them, and failing that, they can use them to get their valuable operatives freed from Infidel prisons. Those exchanges only encourage more hostage-taking. And when the French released Mohamed Ali Ag Wadossene (why […]

Mali: “With the help of the hand of Allah,” Muslims kill Red Cross aid worker

Apr 2, 2015 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

“With the help of the hand of Allah, we killed near Gao, in Muslim territory, a driver who worked for the enemy,” said a spokesman for The Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO). “Oneness” is tauhid, Islamic monotheism. Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Al Qaeda Splinter Group Claims […]

Mali: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” murders five in nightclub

Mar 7, 2015 12:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Those who charge that concern over murders like these is just “Islamophobia” should kindly point out when Muslims have ever screamed “Allahu akbar” and then performed an act of charity, generosity, or magnanimity. “Five dead including Frenchman and Belgian in Mali restaurant terror attack,” by David Chazan, the Telegraph, March 7, 2015 (thanks to Pamela […]

Mali: Islamic jihadis kill seven soldiers in dawn attack

Jan 6, 2015 7:40 am By Robert Spencer

Two years after the French drove the Sharia regime out of power in Mali, the jihadists are still active. The fallacy of the analysts who predict that the “war on terror” (or whatever they call the defense against the global jihad these days) will last ten years, or twenty, or 100, is that they think […]

Malian academic: What Islamic jihad groups did in Mali “has nothing to do with Islam”

Dec 26, 2014 11:22 am By Robert Spencer

“What they did has nothing to do with Islam. They cut off people’s hands and feet.” “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides […]

Mali released four Islamic jihadists in exchange for French hostage

Dec 14, 2014 8:09 am By Robert Spencer

As I said here when such a deal was just a rumor, “this will only encourage more hostage-taking, as jihadis will see the chance to free their imprisoned comrades in exchange for Western hostages.” But the fact that a policy is foolish, wrongheaded and counterproductive has never stopped non-Muslim governments from pursuing it in the […]

Was French hostage swapped for detained jihadists?

Dec 10, 2014 4:42 pm By Robert Spencer

This will only encourage more hostage-taking, as jihadis will see the chance to free their imprisoned comrades in exchange for Western hostages. But the fact that a policy is foolish, wrongheaded and counterproductive has never stopped Western governments from pursuing it in the past, so why should France start now? “Dangerous trade-offs: Was French hostage […]
