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

Islamic Republic of Iran: Turkey’s Erdogan champions Islam only as a tool to further his own interests

Dec 5, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments

Although Iran and Turkey have been friends of convenience because of the fact that they share mutual enemies, both Shia Iran and Sunni Turkey seek regional and ultimately global dominion. Consequently, it was only a matter of time before their ambitions collided, particularly also in light of the ancient and ongoing Sunni-Shia conflict. “Anti-Turkish Statements […]

Lebanon: Sunni Muslims enraged by Shi’ite videos criticizing Aisha, injure 48 people in riots

Jun 11, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Sunni-Shia split goes back to the beginning of Islam and has often been violent throughout Islamic history. The perception of an insult to Islam has all too often led to demands for the death of the offender, and if legal authorities don’t take action, mobs riot and call for lynching. In Western countries, such […]

Egyptian Muslim cleric: “Oh Allah, relieve the Islamic nation of the coronavirus, use it to annihilate the infidels”

Apr 21, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

If a preacher of any other faith had thanked the deity for the coronavirus and wished it upon those outside the fold, it would have been international news. But no one will take any particular notice of this. “Egyptian Islamic Preacher Mohammed Al-Hefnawi Al-Ansari: Thank You Coronavirus for Shutting Down Cinemas, Coffee Shops, and Whorehouses; […]

Australia: Sunni Muslims who firebombed a Shi’ite mosque lose appeals against their terror convictions

Apr 18, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If the people who firebombed the mosque had been non-Muslims, which should never happen, there would be screaming international headlines about this for weeks, UN commissions about “Islamophobia,” and further restrictions on the freedom of speech regarding the motivating ideology behind jihad terror attacks. But the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad coming to Australia? That’s not news. “Terrorists […]

Afghanistan: ISIS jihadi says the group kills Muslim Hazaras because they’re Shi’ites

Apr 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“The Hazaras [Afghanistan’s largest ethnic minorities, who are primarily Shia Muslims] insult us, they don’t accept Caliph Umar and Bibi Aisha [figures important in Sunni Islam] and tell awful things about them. This is the main reason why the Islamic State [ISKP] is killing the Hazaras.” Remember this the next time someone tells you that […]

Afghanistan: Sunni Muslims open fire at Shi’ite Muslim political rally, murdering 32 people

Mar 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“In a statement, IS said two brothers had targeted a ‘gathering of apostates’ with machine guns and grenades.” Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be apostates, and apostasy carries the death penalty in Islamic law. Thus attacks like this one are going to happen, and anyone who calls attention to their root causes is “Islamophobic.” “Afghan gunmen […]

Bernie Sanders On Iran and Saudi Arabia: “They’re Gonna Have to Get Their Act Together”

Feb 22, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Bernie Sanders believes that for too long America has been “just pro-Israel”; he appears not to know of the many episodes when America was not in Israel’s camp, from President Eisenhower threatening in 1956 to cut aid to Israel unless it withdrew – it did – from the Sinai, to Carter and Brzezinski cruelly bullying […]

U.S. Out of Iraq? By All Means

Jan 8, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The Iraqi Parliament has just passed a resolution calling for all American troops -– there are now 5,000 in Iraq — to be withdrawn from the country. I quite agree. We should never have entered Iraq in the first place, but left Saddam, monstrous as he was, as a counterweight to the just as monstrous, […]

UK: Man who used sledgehammer to smash windows of mosques turns out to be Shia targeting Sunnis

Dec 1, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

How many of these attacks on mosques were presented by the political and media elites as instances of “Islamophobia”? In any case, the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad, having been fought for fourteen centuries in Muslim countries, has now come to diverse Britain. How far gone is Britain? This far gone: the non-Muslims are aware of Sunni-Shia hostility, […]

Dearborn: Imam blames Trump, Israel for jihad attacks on Saudi oil fields

Sep 27, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

We see it again and again. Islamic supremacists, and increasingly their Leftist allies as well, never, ever take responsibility for what they have done. It is always someone else’s fault, the fault of someone they hate. Qazwini here blames Trump and Israel, predictably enough, for the attacks on the Saudi oil fields. It is too […]

Iran’s Rouhani: Jihad attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities was a “warning”

Sep 18, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Sunnis and Shi’ites have been waging jihad against each other for 1400 years, as The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS demonstrates. There is no reason for the U.S. to get involved. “Iran: Attack on Saudi oil facilities was ‘a warning,’” David Rosenberg, Arutz Sheva, September 18, 2019: A recent attack by Iranian-backed forces […]

Trump suggests Iran is lying when it denies involvement in drone strike on Saudi oil industry

Sep 16, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

It’s fairly clear that this was a strike at the Saudi oil industry in retaliation for sanctions on Iran. Did the Iranians model their drones on the U.S. drone they seized and refused to give back while Obama was President? Did they finance the strike with the billions Obama showered upon them? In any case, […]

Australia: Sunni Muslims plotted jihad massacres at cathedral and train station, finally firebombed Shia mosque

Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! And all that. But what happens when you bring in large groups of people who adhere to a belief system that itself does not respect “diversity”? This. And there will be much, much more of it in Australia, as well as many more jihad attacks against non-Muslims. “The three […]

Malaysia: Bomb threats from anti-Shia Sunni Muslims force cancellation of seminar about ending Muslim sectarianism

Here is yet another example of why we don’t see more sincere Muslim reformers. “‘Anti-Shia’ bomb threats force organisers in Malaysia to cancel seminar about ending Muslim sectarianism,” by Amy Chew, South China Morning Post, July 12, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Organisers of a seminar on the Amman Message – a declaration […]

Baghdad: Seven wounded as Sunni Muslims bomb Shi’ite mosque

Jun 25, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

In The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now, I show that the Sunni/Shi’ite split goes back to the earliest days of Islam, and has often over the centuries erupted into violence. This is certain to keep on happening, since the death penalty for heretics remains part of Islamic […]

Saudi Arabia foils Islamic State jihad attack; 13 jihadis arrested, 4 killed

“Saudi Arabia has arrested 13 individuals in connection with planning attacks in the kingdom, a day after security forces said they had thwarted an attack near the capital. The arrest comes after Islamic State claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attempted attack on a state security building in Zulf.” It’s no secret that Muslims also attack Muslims […]

Sweden: Shia Muslims fearful of returning Islamic State jihadis

Mar 21, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Shia Muslim community in Sweden is concerned about its safety “if Islamic State militants return home.” Unfortunately for the Shia, Leftist Swedes believe that it is “racist” for Sweden not to embrace Swedish jihadis as they would any other Swedish citizen. Many other nations, such as Canada, hold the same view. Leftists and the […]
