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

Syrian author: “We have a trait that distinguishes us from all other peoples of the world, which is love of death”

May 2, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Conversely, we [Arabs] have a trait that distinguishes us from all the other peoples of the world, which is a love of death. We dream of it, regard it as a source of inspiration and think about it every day. We love death and love the dead. Instead of hoping for longevity, for [a life […]

Syria: Muslims murder teenager for “blasphemous” texts on his phone

Apr 29, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is not an example of “extremism.” Islam mandates death for blasphemy. Death is prescribed for those who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders […]

Syria: Muslim group imposes Sharia in Idlib, forces Christians to pay the jizya

Apr 28, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Jizya is a tax that the subjugated “People of the Book” must pay to the Muslims for the privilege of being allowed to practice their religions, albeit within a superstructure of institutionalized discrimination and harassment: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, and do not forbid what has been forbidden […]

Turkey’s Jihad in Syria

Mar 6, 2020 9:00 am By Vasileios Meichanetsidis

On February 28, the Turkish government-funded Anadolu Agency (AA) reported on the alleged takeover of a Syrian town by the Islamist “Free Syrian Army” (FSA). In the news report, the agency posted some images of the FSA fighters. A striking detail immediately attracted attention: on the arms and chests of some FSA fighters were logos […]

Syria, Turkey, and Russia, When What’s to Come is Still Unsure (Part 2)

Mar 2, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In Idlib, the killing of 33 Turkish troops, by Syrian or possibly, though less likely, by Russian troops, has led to a situation of high tension that will certainly lead to much greater clashes between the Syrian army and the Turkish forces in Idlib, and might lead to a direct conflict between Turkish and Russian […]

Syria, Turkey, and Russia, When What’s to Come is Still Unsure (Part 1)

Mar 1, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

It was not even two months ago, at the beginning of January, that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Russian President Putin seemed to be best friends forever. Turkey had continued to insist, against the wishes of the United States and other NATO members, on buying the Russian S-400 missile defense system, even if that infuriated […]

Obama-backed Free Syrian Army top dog: “Inshallah, we will go wherever there is Jihad” for “the Ottoman Caliphate”

Jan 21, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“We have a Free Syrian Army and a moderate opposition that we have steadily been working with that we have vetted.” — Barack Obama, September 2014 “Commander in the Turkish-Backed Free Syrian Army: We Will Go to Libya, China, and Wherever There Is Jihad; We Are Willing to Sacrifice Our Lives and Our Children for […]

US Defense Intelligence Agency says Turkey, Qatar supported al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra Front

Dec 12, 2019 8:30 am By Robert Spencer

These countries are not allies of the United States and should not be treated as such. “US Defense Intelligence Agency says Turkey, Qatar supported al-Nusra Front,” by Abdullah Bozkurt, Nordic Monitor, December 10, 2019: Turkey and Qatar likely provided support to Syrian al-Qaeda group Jabhat al-Nusra, or the al-Nusra Front, the US Defense Intelligence Agency […]

Travel Risk Map shows that eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations to visit are Muslim

Nov 22, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis in Muslim countries hate tourists, who are often visiting sites of jahiliyya, the pre-Islamic society of unbelievers. And if they’re visiting Muslim sites, they’re trampling them down under their Infidel feet. Either way, they’re not welcome. “Eight out of top 10 most dangerous nations are Muslim,” 5Pillars, November 19, 2019 (thanks to The […]

10-year-old boy in ISIS camp: “We’re going to kill you by slaughtering you. Turn to Allah with sincere repentance”

Nov 12, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, our 10-year-olds are watching presentations by drag queens and choosing their pronouns. What will happen when these two groups meet up? “‘We are going to slaughter you’: Syrian camp full of thousands of ISIS brides and their children has turned into a ‘mini caliphate’ despite the death of terror group’s leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi,” […]

Detained Islamic State members turn to EU courts for help to come “home”

Nov 10, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Islamic State jihadists and their families are all in a hurry to come “home” now that things are rough in the region where they pledged their loyalties and committed the worst human rights violations against men, women, children and babies. Yet their so-called “homes” are still regarded by them as enemy territory — part of […]

Germany: Two Muslim “asylum seekers” charged with crimes against humanity

Nov 1, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Germany has charged two alleged former Syrian secret service officers with crimes against humanity, federal prosecutors have announced, a key step in a patchwork of international efforts to seek justice for atrocities committed during the country’s long civil war.” It should also be a “key step” toward abandoning open-door immigration policies in favor of responsible […]

Syria: Islamic State brides “unleash reign of terror,” slaughtering babies, dousing people with petrol

Oct 30, 2019 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Note that this story was reported before the death of Islamic State caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The al-Hawl camp is home to 68,000 Islamic State families. It is same camp in which infamous Islamic State bride Shamima Begum was discovered. She was part of the rifle toting morality police, but was made out by her […]

Fake “Rojava” Narrative and Truths about Syria

Oct 25, 2019 4:00 pm By Ibrahim Seven

In the midst of the bloody war in Syria, the Kurds took advantage of the chaos and claimed control over northern Syria in 2012. They established a so-called “government” there led by the Kurdish Democratic Union Party or PYD. Its armed force is the YPG (People’s Protection Units), which is the Syrian wing of the […]

Myth: Trump betrayed the Kurds. Reality: Kurdish leader thanks Trump for ceasefire.

Oct 24, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Don’t look for this in the establishment propaganda media. It doesn’t fit their narrative. Don’t expect retractions, either, from all those who condemned Trump in stinging terms for his actions in Syria. “Military leader of Syrian Kurds thanked President Trump for cease-fire,” by Sophie Sanders, The BL, October 24, 2019: The military leader of the […]

The Kurds are paying a heavy price in this battle — but not because of a US betrayal

Oct 22, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Kenneth Timmerman’s article below is eminently reasonable, and he is right: the political and media elites that are howling over Trump’s “betrayal” of the Kurds will keep howling no matter what evidence is presented in defense of the withdrawal, because “none of them truly care about the Kurds.” All they want is a stick they […]

Islamic State in Syria plans to boobytrap bras with bombs

Oct 21, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is diabolically clever, as it is one area that the enemies of these jihadis are unlikely to search. “ISIS plan to attack SAS troops in Syria with suicide bombs in bras,” by Paul Hooper, Mirror, October 16, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): ISIS plan to attack SAS troops in Syria with suicide […]

Turkish-backed militia in Syria: “We’ve come to behead you, you infidels, you apostates”

Oct 21, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

This proves that Trump should have kept US forces in Syria, right? This proves that if he had, the Turks and their allies would not have been emboldened to advance, right? In reality, it proves just the opposite. As the President himself pointed out, there has been violence in the Middle East for centuries. There […]

Turkey agrees to cease-fire days after Erdogan said he would never agree to a cease-fire

Oct 17, 2019 4:30 pm By Robert Spencer

The Leftist political and media elites were aghast at Trump’s letter to Erdogan, and heaped ridicule upon it. But it was really just standard American diplomacy: carrots and sticks. It was just phrased a bit more bluntly than diplomatic niceties usually allow. It is long past time for a fresh approach to diplomacy and a […]

Trump denounces Turkey’s incursion into Syria, imposes economic sanctions

Oct 15, 2019 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

This won’t be enough for those who are clamoring for the US to go to war with Turkey. All those who are claiming that Trump is under Erdogan’s thumb will keep on saying it. Meanwhile, there is no doubt that Turkey is an unreliable ally, and that the alliance should be ended, and Turkey should […]
