Of course. Who else. “American and Israeli intelligence services dictated to their collared dogs in Saudi Arabia.” When it comes to Saudi Arabia and the U.S., it is painfully apparent that the collar is on the other neck.
Saudi Arabia breaks off diplomatic relations with Iran
“Jubeir said the attack in Tehran was in line with what he said were earlier Iranian assaults on foreign embassies there…” Yes, I recall one back in 1979. “…and with Iranian policies of destabilising the region by creating ‘terrorist cells’ in Saudi Arabia.” One wonders what the truth is behind that, if any. Is the […]
Iran: Protestors firebomb, ransack Saudi Embassy after execution of Shia cleric
The execution “means that Saudi Arabia will not hesitate to punish all terrorists.” The attack on the Embassy means that Iran will not hesitate to stand up for Shi’ites against Saudi Arabia.

Raymond Ibrahim: “But ISIS Kills More Muslims Than Non-Muslims!”
With the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, or IS), an old apologia meant to exonerate Islam of violence has become prominent again. Because ISIS is killing other Muslims, so the argument goes, obviously its violence cannot be based on Islam, which bans Muslims from killing fellow Muslims in its name. This point is […]
Islamic State claims jihad suicide attacks in Beirut that murdered 43
“The health ministry said 43 people had died and 239 had been wounded in the twin blasts on Thursday, which targeted the Shia-majority district of Burj al-Barajneh.” The Islamic State has struck Shi’ites in Yemen, and now also in Beirut, if their claim of responsibility is true. “Isis claims responsibility as suicide bombers kill dozens […]
Saudi Arabia: Islamic State jihad suicide bomber murders one at Shi’ite mosque
The Saudis have spent billions to spread their understanding of Islam around the world. Now they are paying the price, since the idea of the caliphate that they have so energetically propagated is now challenging the legitimacy of their own state, and bringing the Sunni-Shi’te jihad within its borders. “Islamic State attack on Saudi mosque […]
Denmark: Muslim mob attacks police car, shots fired at Shia march
“‘In processions there are always some uproar. There was a man who fired two to three shots in the air after he was attacked by a large group of people. We do not believe that the motive for the attack was religious. It was an isolated showdown between a couple of groups,’ said senior police […]
Bangladesh: Islamic State claims bombings of Shi’ite Ashura procession that murdered one person and wounded dozens
“Soldiers of the Caliphate in Bangladesh” claimed that they had planted the bombs among the “polytheists in the city of Dhaka, during the holding of their polytheist rituals.” However, Quamrul Islam, Bangladeshi’s food minister, insists that “there is no existence of Islamic State in Bangladesh.” Quamrul Islam may just be trying to minimize the problem, […]
Raymond Ibrahim: “Abducting Women” and “Destroying Churches” is “Real Islam,” Says Iraqi Grand Ayatollah
During a recent televised interview with Grand Ayatollah Ahmad al-Baghdadi, the leading Shia cleric of Iraq made clear why Islam and the rest of the world can never peacefully coexist.

Yemen: Clad as woman, Islamic State jihadi murders 10 at Shia mosque
But remember: in the West, if you raise security concerns about the burqa or niqab, you’re a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Clad as woman, Islamic State suicide bomber slays 10 at Houthi mosque; airstrike kills family,” Reuters, September 25, 2015: SANAA – At least 10 Muslim worshippers performing Eid al-Adha prayers were killed […]
Muslim group accuses Muslim filmmaker of blasphemy for film on Muhammad
Part of the problem is that this is a Shi’ite production, and so Sunnis are enraged. But what is ironic about this accusation of blasphemy charge is that the film is a sanitized, whitewashed version of Muhammad’s life, produced for the purpose of proselytizing. But even that isn’t good enough: now filmmaker Majid Majidi and […]
Afghanistan: Sunni jihadists murder 13 Shi’ites on a minibus
The Sunni/Shi’te jihad has killed far more people than the trumped-up propaganda term “Islamophobia.” Yet no one seems particularly concerned about it as a human rights issue. Perhaps too much concern about it would in itself be “Islamophobic.” “Gunmen kill 13 civilians on a minibus in north Afghanistan,” Reuters, September 5, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann): […]
Islamic State burns four Iraqi Shiite fighters alive
Many will say that this is additional proof of the claim that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. This is because of this hadith: “Narrated ‘Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to ‘Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn ‘Abbas who said, ‘If I had been in […]
Lebanon: Sunni Muslim cleric arrested, organized his followers to wage jihad against Shi’ites
“Witnesses at the time said machine guns and rockets were used – and when the army went to Mr Assir’s compound, it found heavy weapons and military-style uniforms.” But you know, they were machine guns, rockets and heavy weapons of peace. How did this Muslim cleric come to misunderstand the religion he had dedicated his […]
Islamic State murders 76 with bomb at market in Baghdad Shi’ite neighborhood
“The market in the Shi’ite neighborhood is one of the biggest in Baghdad selling wholesale food items. A Reuters witness at the site saw fruit and vegetables mixed with shrapnel littering the blood-soaked blast crater.” And the Islamic State jihadis were pleased with this act of piety and service to their god. “Islamic State claims […]
Syria: Sunni jihadis fire 1,000 missiles at Shi’ite towns
“Al-Nusra and many of its hardline allies consider Shiite Muslims to be heretical” — and in Islamic law, a pious Muslim is to put a heretic to death. How many missiles have “Islamophobes” fired at Muslims over the last few days? Why, none. Yet how much publicity does “Islamophobia” get in the West, compared to […]
ISIS Muslim cleric tells Shia: “Allah willing, we shall slaughter you like sheep”
“We are ready for you, oh enemies of Islam. By Allah, all we have in store for you is slaughter. Allah willing, we shall slaughter you like sheep.” Muslim clerics both for and against the Islamic State are calling Muslims to slaughter as a religious duty. How does this all-pervasive misunderstanding of Islam afflict even […]
Ramadan in Yemen: Islamic State explodes car bomb at Shi’ite mosque
“The car bomb, at the Al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sanaa, went off as worshippers were leaving after evening prayers, witnesses and a security official said.” That was so as to maximize the carnage. “In a brief statement posted on jihadist websites, Islamic State said it had ‘taken revenge’ against the Huthi rebels who have seized […]
Islamic State releases video of Kuwait jihadi, consisting largely of Qur’an verses
As the Islamic State releases a video filled with Qur’an verses, London Mayor Boris Johnson writes in the the Telegraph: “Islamic State? This death cult is not a state and it’s certainly not Islamic: We must settle on a name for our enemies that doesn’t smear all Muslims but does reflect reality.” Obviously Boris Johnson […]
