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

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

Feb 15, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“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 […]

The Adventures of Asking Muslim Reformers to Categorically Choose between Western Laws and Islam

Jan 16, 2020 3:00 pm By Stephen M. Kirby

On January 7th Jihad Watch published my article titled “93% of Muslim Public Officials Would Not Express Support for the Constitution They Swore to Uphold.”[1] This article was a result of a survey of four questions I had sent to eighty Muslim public officials across the United States. With each of the four questions the […]

Malaysia: New TV channel will “correct the false information that tarnished the image of Islam and Muslims”

Dec 11, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Finally! This will clear everything up! 36,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11, but all that is needed is a TV channel that will explain that you should believe comfortable words from smiling Muslim spokesmen rather than your lying eyes. “To ensure a balanced content, non-Muslim academics with expertise in Islam can be invited to provide […]

Former president of org “dedicated to showing that Islam is a religion of peace” charged with jihad terror activity

Dec 3, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Jehad Serwan Mostafa “was once president of the now-defunct Muslim Youth Council of San Diego, which said on its website that it was ‘dedicated to showing the world that Islam is a religion of peace and Muslims are a peaceful and productive part of society.’ Mostafa’s father, Halim Mostafa, a Kurdish Syrian, made a low-budget […]

Shireen Qudosi and the question of Islamic reformers

Oct 14, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Recently I had an unpleasant online encounter with the self-styled “Muslim Reformer” Shireen Qudosi that highlighted some of the principal problems with the entire Muslim reform movement in the West, and showed why so many people are skeptical of these “reformers.” Please pardon the personal references in the first part of this; this post is […]

The Ahmadis: Islam’s “Standard Bearers”?

Sep 4, 2019 8:00 am By Andrew Harrod

“Although the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a small community, it is a standard-bearer and the representative of the true teachings of Islam,” said the Ahmadi “caliph,” Mirza Masroor Ahmad, on October 22, 2008, to the British parliament. This grandiose statement belies the Ahmadis’ cult-like status among the global Muslim community, an ill repute that calls […]

The Ahmadis: The Establishment’s Favorite Muslims

Sep 3, 2019 8:00 am By Andrew Harrod

“Politicians are so desperate to find ‘the moderate Muslims’ that they’ll do extraordinarily stupid things,” wrote anti-sharia activist Pamela Geller in 2014 concerning the formation of a congressional Ahmadiyya Muslim Caucus. As this series will show, she had considerable reason to doubt the expectations this tiny Muslim sect, almost universally persecuted by other Muslims, often […]

The Muslim’s Inner Struggles (Part 3)

Aug 26, 2019 4:00 pm By Anjuli Pandavar

Never before in the history of Islam has it faced a danger such as this. For the first time, Muslims en masse are reclaiming their place in humanity and rejoining history. Islam has always relied on Muslims being unequivocally Muslim in clear contradistinction to the kafir, the unbeliever, treating the values and mores of the infidel with […]

Piker wrote: “America deserved 911…Americas [sic] foreign policy decisions has lead [sic] to 911. this would’ve been a controversial thing to say in 2001. stop being a f***ing idiot. We supplied arms to and trained bin laden. we destabilized the region long before 911. and now we’re stuck in perpetual war, which dan crenshaw was […]

UK: Social media network promoting Western, anti-terror Muslim identity is covert government program

Aug 19, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why did the British government have to do this? Why weren’t there any hip, anti-terror, Westernized British Muslims who did it themselves? And while This Is Woke promotes the idea that it’s cool, dude, to be young and Muslim in Britain, and that all jihad terrorists need in order to drop their arms is a […]

94 Muslim scholars condemn Muslim cleric for saying “Allah” means “God” and Jews and Christians aren’t unbelievers

Jul 7, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri is widely hailed as a “moderate” because of his massive Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, but that jaw-droppingly windy document is just another exercise in deception. In fact, Tahir ul-Qadri is the framer of Pakistan’s inhuman blasphemy laws. But these 94 Muslim scholars from the UK, India and Pakistan are still […]

Sharia truth and the “Progressive Muslim” Feminist

May 2, 2019 4:29 pm By Andrew Harrod

As a “Muslim feminist scholar,” Williams College Assistant Professor of Religion Saadia Yacoob has a “very complicated relationship” with her Islamic faith, as her Duke University dissertation explains. This research, the basis for an April 3 presentation at Georgetown University’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), reveals the chasm between her […]

Qanta Ahmed, Death Cap Mushrooms and Islam

Apr 25, 2019 8:00 am By Mateen Elass

Qanta Ahmed, a naturalized American, accomplished doctor and liberal Muslim, is at it again. Claiming to represent true Islam, she has launched another diatribe against Ilhan Omar over her recent, infamous CAIR speech in which the Minnesota Democrat congresswoman described the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something.” Ahmed quite rightly calls Omar “…a […]

Maajid Nawaz: Use the word “Muslimphobia” instead of “Islamophobia”

Mar 28, 2019 2:00 pm By Joshua Winston

Maajid Nawaz has another article out, and the cover picture for it is, as usual, of his face (it’s rarely a picture relating to the content of the piece). This time he’s looking contemplatively at the viewer. At other times, he’s staring wistfully in a pastel-coloured turtleneck, or gazing off into the middle-distance as though […]

Accused rapist “Muslim Martin Luther” Tariq Ramadan attends conference on violence against women

Mar 19, 2019 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic supremacists have always been notable for their chutzpah, and Tariq Ramadan is no exception. Women’s rights indeed. One of Ramadan’s accusers says he told her he was raping her “because you don’t wear a hijab.” “Tariq Ramadan attends a conference on violence against women,” translated from “Tariq Ramadan assiste à une conférence sur les […]

Qanta Ahmed’s Denial of the Reality of Islamic Anti-Semitism

Mar 16, 2019 4:00 pm By Mateen Elass

Qanta Ahmed is a poised and eloquent defender of “moderate” Islam. A British-American pulmonologist now serving as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the State University of New York, she also describes herself as a specialist in the study of Islamism as contrasted with Islam. Recently, she has written opinion pieces firmly skewering Rep. Ilhan […]

Here is a superb takedown by Bruce Bawer of the Islamic “moderate” Mustafa Akyol, whose disingenuousness we have exposed here at Jihad Watch many times. “The New York Times’s Islamic Flimflam Man,” by Bruce Bawer, PJ Media, February 21, 2019: On February 18, in keeping with its apparent goal of remaining America’s most reliable source […]

UK: “Moderate” imam Usama Hasan claims he would “deradicalize” ISIS bride by using work of jihadist scholar

Feb 21, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Usama Hasan of the UK’s Quilliam Foundation gives the impression in this article that Ibn Taymiyya was a moderate. Hasan fails to mention that Ibn Taymiyya also said: “Since lawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, […]

Asked Thursday whether he would debate Maajid Nawaz, Robert Spencer replied: “Yes, of course I would. But Maajid Nawaz won’t debate me.” It isn’t hard to understand why that is true. Maajid Nawaz has an image to protect: that of being an all-knowing Muslim reformist who’s never wrong. He presents himself as a softer, gentler, […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: “Islamic Modernist” Mustafa Akyol Betrays More of His Worldview Than He Likely Intended (Part 4)

Jan 13, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Whereas the West views many Middle Eastern countries as medieval, Akyol said, Middle Eastern countries view the West as exploitative and hypocritical. He said the best way for Western countries to promote secularization in Middle Eastern countries is to remain principled and set an example through their actions. The West does not think of Middle […]
