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 […]

Trump administration reportedly considering withdrawal of US troops from Somalia

Nov 22, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 19 Comments

Did you even know we had troops in Somalia? What conceivable national security interest could they be serving there? None whatsoever, as Senator Roy Blunt makes clear when he says: “In Somalia, the discussion…Somalia and Iraq and Afghanistan…none of those places are nearly as secure if we leave as they are if we’re there.” Well, […]

Nov 10, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 44 Comments

What could possibly go wrong?

ICE deports Somalis accused of conspiring with jihadis, murder, rape, Ilhan Omar warns of ‘consequences for Somalia’

Sep 22, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 41 Comments

“ICE is set to deport dozens of individuals from my district to Somalia, risking the spread of COVID. ICE’s actions will not only put these individuals at risk, but could have far-reaching consequences for Somalia.” What about the “far-reaching consequences” for Americans of keeping in the country 39 people “accused of various crimes including murder, […]

Somalia: Muslims murder at least six people in jihad suicide bombing outside mosque

Sep 15, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

Mainstream analysts routinely point to the killing of fellow Muslims by Islamic jihadis as proof that the jihadis aren’t actually Muslims at all, but have twisted and hijacked the religion of peace and are making war against true Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The reality, however, is that Islamic law mandates a death penalty for heresy […]

Somalia: Bill introduced in parliament that would allow a girl to be married as young as 10 years old

Sep 8, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 46 Comments

This is no surprise. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January […]

Somalia: Ramadan, the “traditional time for girls to be cut,” sees “huge increase” in female genital mutilation

May 20, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why is Ramadan, the month in which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah, the “traditional time for girls to be cut”? Reuters shows no curiosity about this. The answer is because female genital mutilation has justification in Islamic law, and Islamic law is considered divine law, superseding all human law. This story repeats the […]

Somalia: Some imams preach that Muslims are ‘immune to coronavirus’

May 16, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This idea is based on the assumption that adherence to Sharia will bring one success and prosperity in this world as well as the next. That also leads to jihad activity, since jihad warfare against unbelievers is likewise a Sharia tenet. “Muslims ‘immune to coronavirus’ some imams in Somalia say, putting public at risk,” by […]

Kenya: Muslims defy lockdown for Ramadan, flood into Somalia, where mosques remain open

May 8, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Kenya now has concerns about an outbreak of the coronavirus, despite having stuck to lockdown rules. That’s because Kenya left its borders open. “Somalia has kept its mosques open during Ramadan despite the coronavirus pandemic, attracting a flood of faithful Kenyans from across the countries.’” This points to the reality of the risk to any […]

Somalia: Jihadis murder immigration official in Puntland, Puntland President calls for “dialogue” with jihadis

Apr 14, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There are immigration officials in Somalia? Are there people who actually want to go live there despite the jihad-wrought devastation, or is the job of these officials solely to help people get out? In any case, note that Osman Hussein Haji Farey was murdered outside a mosque by a jihad group affiliated with al-Qaeda. The […]

A glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. Newspapers all over the country refused to republish the notorious Muhammad cartoons out of a newfound “respect” for […]

Kenya: Muslim neighbors call for the slaughter of man who left Islam, police arrest no one

Jan 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]
