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

Singapore: Muslim who gave money to ISIS says “I don’t recognize Singapore laws, only Sharia”

Jan 14, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

We have seen jihadis around the world refuse to recognize the authority of the courts that are trying them, and insist that they recognize only Sharia. Imagine the embarrassment of non-Muslim authorities when they finally discover that this is not an “extremist” position in Islam. “‘I recognise only Syariah law’: Singaporean claims trial after admitting […]

Singapore: Muslim “grew to believe that violence in the name of religion was justified,” sent money to jihadi

Sep 17, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

“In a statement last September (2018), the ministry said Hussein’s radicalisation had started in 2013, after he went online for religious knowledge and followed the lectures of several foreign radical ideologues.” See? Nothing to be concerned about. He was “radicalized online,” as so many other jihadis have been. No officials in any non-Muslim government would […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tribute to Lee Kuan Yew

Jul 2, 2018 7:43 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Singapore has been in the news for other reasons recently, but its appearance on the world stage, however brief, may provide us with an excuse to consider the views on Islam of the founding father of Singapore, and its longest-serving Prime Minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who died in 2015. Lee Kuan Yew lived in a […]

Singapore: Muslim child-care worker arrested for trying to join the Islamic State

Jun 12, 2017 6:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Where did Syaikhah Izzah Zahrah Al Ansari learn her understanding of Islam, that led her to want to join the Islamic State? Has her mosque been investigated? Why not? “First Singaporean woman suspected of Islamist radicalism detained,” Reuters, June 12, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): SINGAPORE said on Monday it has detained an […]

Singapore: Imam expelled for Friday sermon against Jews and Christians

Apr 25, 2017 11:26 am By Robert Spencer

An imam. How did a man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it properly get the idea that he should preach and pray against Jews and Christians? It is, as far as mainstream analysts are concerned, an insoluble mystery. “Remarks against Christians, Jews: Singapore orders Indian Imam’s expulsion,” Daily Pioneer, […]

Singapore: Two Muslims jailed for financing the Islamic State in Bangladesh

Aug 30, 2016 7:59 am By Robert Spencer

Bangladesh has been a hotbed of jihad activity in recent months, with the Bangladeshi government insisting that there is no Islamic State presence there, and claiming that all jihad activity has been perpetrated by indigenous groups. Meanwhile, John Kerry just wants you to stop talking about it, and then all will be well. “2 Bangladeshi […]

Singapore: Muslims start listening to Islamic radio station, try to join the Islamic State

Aug 20, 2016 12:42 pm By Robert Spencer

“Both men became radicalized after listening to a Batam-based religious radio station called Radio Hang. The station, which claims a following in Johor Baru and Singapore, sometimes features speakers who preach extreme religious views.” Why was the peaceful, benign Islam that Rosli Hamzah and Mohamed Omar Mahadi presumably learned in their mosque in Singapore not […]

UK: Hijabbed Muslima worries that “people will start to look at me in a funny way”

Apr 8, 2016 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer

When the jihad terror attacks took place in Paris and Brussels, Ida S. Suandi-Al Shara began to ask herself “if I or we can live safely” in London. Why? Because armed bands of non-Muslims are menacing innocent Muslims? No, that’s not happening. Or because Muslims have been barred from holding certain jobs or entering certain […]

Singapore deports 26 Muslims who supported the Islamic State, studied assassination techniques, recruited in mosque

Jan 22, 2016 8:49 pm By Robert Spencer

This AFP story says they were actively recruiting members, but doesn’t say where. Why not? This Channel News Asia story says they were “meeting on a regular basis at a mosque.” Our moral superiors constantly remind us that jihad terror has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, but oddly enough, those who plot it often […]

“Tens of thousands” of Muslims in Southeast Asia support the Islamic State

Aug 16, 2015 3:25 pm By Robert Spencer

What accounts for this extensive outbreak of misunderstanding of Islam? The significant support that the Islamic State enjoys in Southeast Asia demonstrates the falsity and fatuity of the mainstream Western narrative regarding Islam and jihad. “The terrifying rise of ISIS in East: Terror horde recruits tens of thousands to its sick cause in south-east Asia,” […]

Singapore: Photo of pork with “halal” label has “serious religious implications,” reported to police

Singapore: Muslim marriage courses misunderstand Islam, teach wife-beating

Nov 4, 2012 5:03 am By Robert Spencer

Muslim marriage courses come under fire for teaching standard Islamic doctrine regarding the treatment of women. The kuffar, of course, have been buying soothing nonsense from Islamic apologists for so long that they’re shocked when the ugly truth actually peeks out. “Singapore’s Muslim marriage courses under fire,” by Tiddy Smith for BikyaMasr, November 4 (thanks […]

Malaysian Muslim thought police ban Lee Kwan Yew’s book that suggests that Muslims should be ‘less strict’

Dec 9, 2011 7:40 am By The Anti-Jihadist

Lee Kwan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, should know a thing or three about Islam — he’s been living in very close proximity with Islam and its votaries for almost his entire life. Modern Singapore exists as a wealthy, advanced non-Muslim city state surrounded on all sides by a virtual sea of Islam. Singapore […]

Wikileaks: Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew makes freudian slip about Islam

Sep 5, 2011 8:33 am By The Anti-Jihadist

Lee Kuan Yew, for those who may be unaware, is the man who can be largely credited for creating the economic tiger and success story that is modern-day Singapore, an island city-state in Southeast Asia. Assuming this particular revelation from Wikileaks is accurate, it would make a great deal of sense for Lee to know […]

Singapore’s venture into Islamic banking failing, but they’re going to keep trying

May 24, 2010 11:08 am By Robert Spencer

We have previously thought that Islamic banking — that is, the accommodation of Western banking practices to Islamic legal requirements — was being pursued by non-Muslim financial institutions out of a desire for economic gain. But in this story, DBS Group is still determined to make a go of Islamic banking, despite losses. Of course, […]

Singapore: McDonald’s apologizes for leaving pig out of Chinese zodiac collection to avoid offending Muslims

Jan 25, 2010 5:39 am By Robert Spencer

Their first impulse was dhimmitude — even at the expense of making a travesty of a Chinese tradition. After all, as offended as they may have been by this, the Chinese in Singapore were much less likely than the Muslims to start blowing things up and killing innocent people. “McDonald’s says sorry,” from Reuters, January […]

Anti-dhimmitude: We must show terrorists we won’t be cowed

Aug 2, 2004 7:46 pm By Robert Spencer

Excellent observations from Singapore’s Defense Minister Teo Chee Hean on the purpose of terrorism and the proper response. From the Straits Times, with thanks to Ali Dashti: TO SUCCESSFULLY defend ourselves against terrorism, we first have to understand how terror actually strikes. At first glance, terrorism appears to be primarily a physical threat. A building […]

Pirate attacks on ships in the South Pacific are increasing in frequency and sophistication. Some see a connection to Islamic terrorism. From Reuters, with thanks to Nicolei: SINGAPORE: Attacks on ships by sea pirates in South-East Asia are resembling military operations – growing bolder, more violent and fuelling fears of an attack that would cripple […]

4-nation effort to spell out meaning of jihad

Jan 17, 2004 8:56 am By Robert Spencer

In my line of work, I hear it all the time — from Muslims and non-Muslims alike: “jihad doesn’t mean ‘holy war.’ The Arabic word means ‘struggle.’ In Islam jihad primarily means the struggle within the soul of the believer to conform his life to the will of Allah.” In Onward Muslim Soldiers I discuss […]
