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

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists loot and vandalize Catholic parish

Aug 30, 2014 7:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember: Christians in the West are not to speak of such things. To do so would harm the “dialogue”: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop […]

Niger: First-ever slavery conviction for “fifth wife”

May 31, 2014 9:11 am By Robert Spencer

This article epitomizes the willful ignorance and self-imposed blindness of the British intelligentsia regarding Islam. The BBC says below that “men in Niger are allowed to have four wives under a local interpretation of Islamic law.” A local interpretation of Islamic law? Oh, so the Qur’an is local to Niger, now? The Qur’an says: “And […]

Niger: Muslim leader defends child marriage — “We Muslims have the right to marry when we want or give out our daughters at any age we want”

Jul 22, 2013 9:48 am By Robert Spencer

Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with […]

Jihad escalating in Niger: Armed jihadist inmates murder two prison guards

Jun 2, 2013 7:38 am By Robert Spencer

Two jihad groups claimed credit: Movement for Oneness [Tauhid] and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) and Signatories in Blood. Here again we see murderous thugs claiming the mantle of the Islamic concept of jihad that they supposedly misunderstand — according to Muslim spokesmen in the West. Yet no Muslim organization in the West is making […]

Niger: Islamic supremacist bombers murder 20 in raid on army base and uranium mine, seize hostages

May 24, 2013 11:22 am By Robert Spencer

“Thanks to Allah, we have carried out two operations against the enemies of Islam in Niger. We attacked France and Niger for its cooperation with France in the war against sharia.” Yet we’re constantly told by Islamic spokesmen in the U.S. that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with American Constitutional freedoms. How very odd […]

Niger: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers attack uranium mine, military barracks

May 23, 2013 9:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“A spokesman for the Niger government, Morou Amadou, said the attacks were by Islamist militants, probably from al Qaeda’s north Africa wing, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) or its spin-off West African group The Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO), which seized control of neighboring north Mali last year.” Unity […]

France: Sahel no longer safe after jihad attack

Jan 9, 2011 5:08 pm By Robert Spencer

Hard to imagine that the Sahel was ever all that safe, but now the jihad there is stepping up in intensity. “France: Sahel no longer safe after al Qaeda attack,” by John Irish and Abdoulaye Massalaatchi for Reuters, January 9 (thanks to Ken): PARIS/NIAMEY (Reuters) – France said on Sunday the African Sahel region was […]

Niger: Muslim groups urge boycott of vote on constitution that would separate powers of Islam and state

Oct 28, 2010 6:49 am By Marisol Seibold

Sharia is a comprehensive set of laws designed to address every facet of human existence. Now, if you say that with a smile and stop there, you’re well on your way to a fruitful career in lobbying or the mainstream media. Not so much if you continue with the observation that Sharia’s existence as a […]

Prostrate France: “What we want is, firstly, for al-Qaeda at some point to at least put some demands on the table”

Not “What we want is, firstly, is to inflict so much damage on al-Qaeda that they will never take French hostages again.” “France asks al-Qaeda for demands over Niger hostages,” from the

“Soldiers of Islam” abduct employees of French firm in Niger

Sep 21, 2010 10:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Al Qaeda says it abducted employees of French firm in Niger,” from CNN, September 22: (CNN) — Al Qaeda’s North African wing, known as al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, said it is responsible for last week’s kidnapping of five French nationals in Niger, the Arabic-language […]

Al Qaeda’s Growing Sanctuary

Jul 14, 2004 6:29 am By Robert Spencer

West Africa, as we have often noted here, is increasingly becoming a safe haven for radical Muslims. From the Washington Post, : With the end of the brutal conflicts in Liberia and Sierra Leone, West Africa is seldom in the news or on the policy agenda these days. Yet the region is quietly gaining recognition […]

Jihad in Niger

Mar 17, 2004 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

Jihad rages already in neighboring Nigeria, and now it is spreading to other areas of West Africa. From AP, with thanks to Twostellas: Faced with a growing threat from Islamic militants, Niger is deploying extra troops to its troubled northern deserts with plans to multiply army patrols and set up a permanent forward operating base […]
