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

Tanzania: Moderate Sufis recruiting youths to join jihad terror cells in Mozambique

Dec 2, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

Contrary to popular belief, the Sufis do not reject violent jihad. Their towering figure, al-Ghazali, taught it, and Sufis have been at the vanguard of the Chechen jihad. Hasan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, which in turn gave birth to Hamas and Al-Qaeda, was strongly influenced by Sufism. In 2009, Iraqi Sufis meant with […]

France: Imam gets thousands of death threats for calling beheaded teacher a ‘martyr for freedom of expression’

Nov 13, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 21 Comments

Kudos to Chalghoumi. His position in defense of the freedom of speech should be expected of every Muslim who enters a Western country. Instead, Westerners have kowtowed to Islamic supremacists, making it also risky for those Muslims who choose to respect the principles and laws of Western nations. One post in Arabic on Twitter read: […]

Austria: Military imam of federal army discovered to be supporter of jihad in Bosnia

Oct 31, 2020 9:15 am By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

Wasn’t Abdulmedzid Sijamhodzic vetted before the army hired him, to determine whether he was really a “moderate”? Of course not. Why not? Because to have done so would have been “Islamophobic.” All non-Muslims are required to assume that all Muslims reject and abhor jihad violence, and any attempt to confirm that is evidence of “bigotry.” […]

Oct 29, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

Not an auspicious beginning to Macron’s resistance to the advancing jihad and Sharia oppression. “France’s Flawed Stand against Islamist Radicalization,” by Martha Lee, National Review, October 27, 2020: …To American ears, proposed aggressive regulation of religious institutions may sound extraordinary. Yet while more militant anti-Islamists might consider Macron’s measures a step in the right direction, […]

‘Muslim Martin Luther’ Tariq Ramadan gets fifth rape charge

Oct 25, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

The allegations against the renowned Islamic “reformer” Tariq Ramadan are particularly revolting; if they are true, he is a monstrous sadist. One of his accusers said he subjected her to “blows to the face and body, forced sodomy, rape with an object and various humiliations, including being dragged by the hair to the bathtub and […]

Sweden: Muslim migrant ‘Swede of the Year’ found to have hounded Jews and gays online for years

Oct 18, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 37 Comments

How does one distinguish from genuinely moderate Muslims who sincerely desire to integrate into Western society from Islamic supremacists and jihadists? No one has ever satisfactorily answered that question, as there is no institutional distinction between them in Muslim communities: there isn’t an “extremist mosque” on one corner and a “moderate mosque” on the next […]

Oct 15, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 38 Comments

Noor Salman was the wife of Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in a jihad massacre that he said was for the Islamic State. The Orlando Sentinel reported on March 30, 2018 that “the foreman of the Noor Salman jury contacted the Orlando Sentinel with a statement about what the three days of deliberations were […]

Germany: Muslim migrant hailed as model of integration and called ‘Ambassador of Saxony’ beats woman to death

Oct 9, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 64 Comments

One of the most commonly repeated elements of the Leftist/Islamic supremacist rap sheet against me, supposedly establishing that I am an “anti-Muslim extremist,” is that I said that there was no reliable way to distinguish between peaceful Muslims and jihadists, and no distinction between the two in Muslim communities. This statement doesn’t mean that all […]

Saudi Arabia’s crown prince ‘endangers ties with Western allies,’ making ‘many in London and Washington nervous’

Sep 18, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 10 Comments

Saudi Arabia is the focus of much attention these days, with hopes high that it, too, will normalize relations with Israel. In the meantime, there are many unresolved issues. The Saudi Foreign Minister, Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud, has stated that there will be no deal with Israel “without peace with the Palestinians,” which would include […]

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 […]

Social Media Companies Allow Muslims to Preach Violence, Censor Those Who Oppose Jihad and Sharia Oppression

Aug 8, 2020 8:00 am By Faisal Malik

Social media companies are becoming more authoritarian by the day. Social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have banned the accounts of many prominent individuals who oppose Sharia oppression and the worldwide jihad. People such as Tommy Robinson and numerous others have been deplatformed by these social media giants for speaking the truth and […]

“American Muslim Agenda: Muslims Together Building A Cohesive America”: Genuine Reform or Smokescreen?

Jun 23, 2020 11:00 am By Darrell Pack

Dr. Mike Ghouse has accomplished an amazing feat. He has become the final and perfect interpreter of Islam. At least he seems to feel that way. In his view, the essence of Islam is totally in keeping with liberal Western values. Islam has become a thoroughly American religion with scarcely any connection to the traditional […]

Edip Yuksel’s “Manifesto for Islamic Reform”: A Disguised Apology for an Idealized Islam

May 31, 2020 1:00 pm By Darrell Pack

Edip Yuksel is a Kurdish American Muslim author and adjunct philosophy professor at Pima Community College, Tucson, Arizona. Yuskel was in the ranks of the Islamic movements in Turkey, in the 1980s, together with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and he was imprisoned for his radical Islamist views. But later, in 1986, Yuskel had a […]

France: Report on accused rapist Tariq Ramadan says he used “contempt, lies and manipulation on his victims”

May 23, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

All over the world, we see it on virtually a daily basis: Islamic supremacists use intimidation as a weapon to paralyze their foes and get what they want, in matters large and small, professional and personal. And here we are again. “Tariq Ramadan case: the psychiatric report that afflicts him,” translated from “Affaire Tariq Ramadan […]

Tariq Ramadan and the Rogue French Spy (Part 2)

May 20, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Tariq Ramadan was once hailed by many as a “towering intellect” and a “leading Islamic scholar.” In 2000, TIME called Tariq Ramadan “one of the seven most important religious innovators” of the 21st century; in 2004, TIME named Ramadan as one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World Today.” In Internet polls, Foreign […]

The latest news about Tariq Ramadan has to do with a rogue French spy, hired by his supporters, in order to discover the identity of one of Ramadan’s accusers, known only as “Christelle,” in an obvious attempt to threaten her into silence.

The Paradox of the “Moderate Muslim”

Mar 16, 2020 9:00 am By Radhika Singh

An American journalist of Iranian origin, Borzou Daragahi, tweeted the news of India’s first death due to Coronavirus. A few hours later, he retweeted the story, this time with the caption, “Retweeting this story again, just for the fun of it. Enjoy.” He, driven by the overpowering hatred for India, derives joy from the news […]

France: Tariq Ramadan charged with two more counts of rape, supporters say it’s all a “Zionist plot” against him

“Supporters of Ramadan, who is a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at Oxford’s St. Anthony’s College, have called the accusations against him part of a ‘international Zionist plot’ to blacken his name.” Of course! What else could it possibly be? “Tariq Ramadan formally charged with two more counts of rape,” RFI, February 13, 2020: The […]
