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

Saudi Arabia: Man asks mother if she is Shia, then cab driver beheads her 6-year-old son

Feb 9, 2019 8:33 am By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4) Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be unbelievers, and have attacked them frequently throughout Islam’s 1400-year history. But there is no reason to be concerned about this: Saudi authorities are claiming that the cab driver is “mentally ill.” They likely picked up that idea from Western authorities, […]

Iran: Sunni Muslims murder at least 2 Shia policemen, injure 42 people in jihad attack at police headquarters

Dec 9, 2018 1:17 pm By Robert Spencer

The Sunni-Shi’ite jihad goes all the way back to the very beginnings of Islam, in the rivalry between Muhammad’s wife Aisha and his son-in-law, Ali, as The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS details. Because Islam has a death penalty for heresy and apostasy, it often turns murderous. “Iran arrests four suspected militants over […]

Washington Post op-ed contributor ordered deaths of 26 journalists in Yemen jihad

Nov 13, 2018 12:58 pm By Robert Spencer

In rushing to show how much they oppose the Saudis after their killing of their pro-jihad “journalist” Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post has embraced Iran, its clients the Houthis, and the Shi’ite jihad. “WashPo contributor Mohammed al-Houthi pictured with rifle in past interviews,” Al Arabiya, November 11, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Users […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part Two)

Oct 13, 2018 12:30 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Meanwhile, AQAP (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) continues to operate in Yemen, and its ranks are replenished, both from local converts and from AQAP members who have flocked to the country from outside. AQAP, whose member are uber-Sunnis, have been fighting the Shi’a Houthis, even as they continue to denounce and threaten their most important […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part One)

Oct 12, 2018 3:40 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Amid all over the furor over the possible murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi regime thugs, it is useful to remember that in Yemen, the Saudi-UAE forces that have been fighting against the Shi’a Houthis, backed by Iran, are naturally supported by the Americans. Iran is our declared mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia — […]

The Hatfields and McCoys of Islam

Sep 26, 2018 2:42 pm By Mateen Elass

Do you remember the furor caused this last Easter when the State of New York shut down all but the most basic worship services at St. Paul’s Cathedral in downtown NYC from Good Friday through Easter Sunday? The cathedral was ringed by a cordon of city and state police officers over fears prompted by threats […]

Afghanistan: Sunni Muslim murders 25 people with jihad suicide attack on Shi’ite mosque during prayers

Aug 4, 2018 1:14 pm By Robert Spencer

In my book 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 […]

Ramadan in Iraq: Sunni jihad suicide bomber murders at least five people in cafe in Baghdad Shi’ite area

May 28, 2018 2:30 pm By Robert Spencer

“A police source told AFP five people had been killed and 16 others wounded in the overnight bombing, which hit people who had gathered after breaking their daily Ramadan fast.” But they were the wrong kind of Muslims, and so by the commands of Islam to kill apostates and heretics, they had to die. “Five […]

Ramadan in Iraq: Sunni jihad suicide bomber murders seven in park in Baghdad Shi’ite area

May 28, 2018 1:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Ramadan is the month during which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. And Allah commands: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Iraq says suicide bomber kills 7 […]

South Africa: Sunni Muslims who stabbed Shi’as and burned Shi’a mosque prayed first, then attacked

May 19, 2018 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

Of course they prayed first, because they were about to embark upon a jihad. They believed that what they were about to do was a holy act, for which Allah would reward them. Yet the Western establishment media is still filled with nonsense such as this, which claims that jihad terrorists are not really motivated […]

South Africa: Sunni Muslims stab Shi’ites at mosque, attack has “hallmarks of Islamic State”

May 13, 2018 7:26 pm By Robert Spencer

From the international attention that is given to “Islamophobia,” one might have thought this attack was perpetrated by “Islamophobes.” But in reality, it is the Sunni/Shi’ite jihad transplanted to South Africa. “The assailants killed one man by slitting his throat…” “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) “Deadly attack on South African […]

UK: Muslim admits to encouraging terrorism, called for “death to Shias”

May 2, 2018 6:04 pm By Robert Spencer

Did he lose his Twitter account? Or was Twitter too busy blocking or shadowbanning the accounts of foes of jihad terror and other “right-wing extremists”? Anyway, 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 […]

Washington, DC: Man with machete and handgun attacks employee of Iran diplomatic office while screaming in Arabic

Apr 25, 2018 3:18 pm By Robert Spencer

It looks as if the Sunni/Shi’ite jihad has come in small measure to our nation’s capital. “Man with machete, handgun arrested after attack at Iran diplomatic office in DC,” WJLA, April 24, 2018: WASHINGTON (WJLA) — A man has been arrested in Northwest D.C. after entering the Interests Section of Iran and attacking an employee […]

Afghanistan: Sunnis murder 41 people in jihad suicide bombing on “apostate” Shia mosque

Dec 28, 2017 3:46 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

More than 40 people were killed and over 80 others were wounded in a suicide attack on Tebyan center in Pule Sokhtia area of Kabul on Thursday morning, health officials confirmed. Muslim-on-Muslim murder is something largely ignored by propagandists, because it diminishes their “Islamophobia” narrative. Jihad terror strikes at anyone and everyone who is deemed […]

Iran-backed Yemeni Shi’ite rebels attack Saudi palace with ballistic missile

Dec 21, 2017 8:23 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, with a ballistic missile on Tuesday, specifically targeting the Saudi royal palace. This move by Iran is an extraordinarily bold one, and provides insight into just how much this rogue jihadist nation has risen in confidence. Americans, and in fact the world, can thank […]

Iran’s Rouhani urges Muslims to disrupt “sinister plot” of Muslim countries’ “closeness to the Zionist regime”

Dec 5, 2017 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

As the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad heats up once again, the Saudis may be seeking a pragmatic relationship with Israel, and the Iranians, predictably, are enraged. “Iran asks Muslims to disrupt Israeli ties in region,” by Parisa Hafezi, Reuters, December 5, 2017: ANKARA – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged Muslims on Tuesday to disrupt what he called […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: In Lebanon, Why Not A Sunni Militia?

Nov 20, 2017 8:54 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

This much we have been able to piece together: the current Prime Minister of Lebanon, Saad Hariri, son of the late Rafik Al-Hariri, also once a Prime Minister, was summoned to Saudi Arabia on the night of November 2. He promptly flew off from Beirut, assuming that the discussions he had had in Saudi Arabia […]

Hizballah chief accuses Saudi Arabia of declaring war on Lebanon, forcing Lebanese PM to resign

Nov 11, 2017 9:03 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Earlier in the week, it was Saudi Arabia that announced that Lebanon declared war on Saudi Arabia. Now, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah is accusing Saudi Arabia of declaring war on Lebanon. Who is to be believed? It has long been the case that the two primary jihad-funding states of Iran (Shia) and Saudi Arabia (Sunni) […]

This is a strike at Iran, which used the Houthis in Yemen as proxies to strike Saudi Arabia last week. “Saudi Arabia launches military strikes on Yemeni capital,” by Bob Fredericks, New York Post, November 10, 2017 (thanks to Dave): Saudi Arabia launched military strikes against Yemen’s defense ministry in the capital city of Sana’a […]
