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

Tajikistan Arrests 113 for Muslim Brotherhood Membership

Feb 5, 2020 11:00 am By Daniel Greenfield

The great irony is that Muslim countries, whether it’s Egypt, the UAE or, in this case, Tajikistan are far more realistic about the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood, than countries like the UK, where the Brotherhood effectively operates, not to mention the rest of Europe and America. And when Muslim countries do take action against […]

Tajikistan: Christian pastor imprisoned for 2.5 years for the crime of “singing extremist songs”

Jan 2, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

In the US, we have a free society. The only people labeled as “extremists” are jihad terrorists and those who dare to speak about the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism. “Tajik pastor charged with singing ‘extremist songs’ released from prison after 2.5 years,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, December 22, 2019 (thanks to The Religion […]

Mufti of Tajikistan: “We should not confuse Islam with terrorism. Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance.”

Oct 12, 2018 5:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again a Muslim leader has made this claim that we have heard so often. Propaganda, because it is contrary to fact, has to be endlessly repeated in order to be accepted by the masses. And that constant repetition works: many, if not most, Americans, today believe that Islam is a religion of peace that […]

Russia: Muslim on plane punches flight attendant, says bomb on board, “Pray to Allah! This plane will blow up!”

Aug 30, 2018 6:32 pm By Robert Spencer

“His father Saidkadam Davlatkadamov said his son had applied for a Russian passport but was refused. Saidkadam Davlatkadamov said: ‘For some reason, he did not succeed. Two weeks ago I got a call and he said that he was broken and upset.’ His father had ordered him to return home for ‘treatment.’” Ah yes, so […]

American couple that believed “evil is a make-believe concept” murdered by ISIS in Tajikistan

Aug 17, 2018 4:24 pm By Robert Spencer

“You watch the news and you read the papers, and you’re led to believe that the world is a big, scary place. People, the narrative goes, are not to be trusted. People are bad. People are evil. People are axe murderers and monsters and worse. I don’t buy it. Evil is a make-believe concept we’ve […]

Tajikistan: Islamic State claims murders of tourists that were initially reported as road accident

Jul 31, 2018 7:36 am By Robert Spencer

A “road accident”? What? Not “mental illness”? “IS claims deadly attack on tourists in Tajikistan,” by Akbar Borisov, AFP, July 30, 2018: Dushanbe (Tajikistan) (AFP) – The Islamic State jihadist group on Monday claimed an attack that killed four foreign cyclists in Tajikistan in what was originally reported as a hit-and-run road accident. The victims, […]

Tajikistan: 71-year-old woman and six members of her family jailed for plotting to join ISIS

Apr 23, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic Tajikistan draws up “purge” and “morality” register for gays

Oct 20, 2017 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Tajikistan has drawn up a register of hundreds of allegedly gay citizens and indicated they would be subject to mandatory testing for sexually transmitted infections. As humiliating as this move is for the gay population in the Sunni Islamic nation of Tajikistan, of greater concern is the persecution that threatens to follow this “Purge” and […]

American-trained sniper now Islamic State “minister of war”

Sep 7, 2016 5:26 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Department of State announced at the end of August that its Rewards for Justice Program was offering “up to $3 million for information leading to the location, arrest, and/or conviction of Gulmurod Khalimov”, an Islamic State member and recruiter. Khalimov is now the top dog “minister of war” for the Islamic State. The 41-year-old […]

Tajikistan seeks to tackle Islamic “extremism” with new classes for teenagers

Mar 13, 2016 1:47 pm By Robert Spencer

The subhead to this article is: “Experts doubt the teaching will stop radicalisation.” No kidding, really? In the West, our leaders are staking our future on the success of such programs, even though they have never worked anywhere. A student says: “There are young people in the world who have joined extremist organisations. The main […]

To check jihad activity, Tajikistan cops shave 13,000 men’s beards

Jan 21, 2016 12:34 pm By Robert Spencer

This is not going to work: the Islamic State recently directed its operatives in non-Muslim countries to shave their beards and not appear to be ostentatiously Islamic, so as to evade detection. A man may be forced to shave his beard or a woman forced to take off her hijab, but that doesn’t change what […]

Three Muslim countries — Somalia, Tajikistan, and Brunei — now banning Christmas celebrations

Dec 24, 2015 1:38 pm By Robert Spencer

“The ban is ridiculous. It projects this image that Islam does not respect the rights of other religions to celebrate their faith.” Uh, yeah. “Christmas celebrations banned in Somalia, Tajikistan and Brunei,” Guardian, December 23, 2015: The governments of three countries – Somalia, Tajikistan and Brunei – have banned Christmas celebrations this year, with punishments […]

Tajik special forces chief who joined Islamic State threatens to behead his brother

Jun 19, 2015 12:27 pm By Robert Spencer

“O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 9:23) “You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection […]

US-trained Tajikistan special forces chief joins Islamic State, vows jihad inside US

May 28, 2015 9:45 am By Robert Spencer

When Gulmurod Khalimov was training in the U.S., all those who were training him assumed that he was a “moderate” who would be a reliable ally against the “extremists.” To have assumed anything else would have been “Islamophobic.” And now he is vowing to come to the U.S. again to murder Americans for Allah.

Tajik Muslims in Islamic State threaten jihad at home and at Kremlin

“One masked militant said that the video was the militants’ final address from Syria and Iraq and that their next video could be filmed ‘from the mountains of Tavildara in central Tajikistan, or the Tajik capital, Dushanbe — or even from the Kremlin.’” These are the same kind of threats that Islamic State jihadis have […]

Tajik jihadist denounces mullah for saying there is no jihad in Syria

May 28, 2014 7:56 am By Robert Spencer

Once again we see a jihadist claim the mantle of Islamic authenticity, and rebuke a Muslim opponent on Islamic grounds. This contradicts the prevailing dogma in the West, that the jihadists have twisted and hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam, and actually have no authentic Islamic justification for their actions. Mainstream analysts never bother to […]
