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

Why the Coronavirus Poses a Unique Threat to Islamic Terrorists

Apr 19, 2020 4:00 pm By Daniel Greenfield

The pandemic could turn terror networks into ‘super-spreaders.’ The shadowy alliance between Iran and the Taliban has killed countless American soldiers over the years. But Iran exported more than just IEDs and training to Afghanistan. The social problems of the Islamic dictatorship traveled along the same highways as the IEDs. But they didn’t kill Americans. […]

Afghanistan: Taliban open fire on youths who were playing cricket, one dead, three others wounded

Apr 17, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60) “Taliban militants open fire on youths who were playing cricket,” Khaama Press, […]

Afghanistan: Taliban again shows respect for peace agreement, murders five bank employees

Apr 14, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Did anyone in Washington ever really think that the Taliban would honor a peace agreement it made with Infidels? If so, that person should be made to write an extensive study of the Treaty of Hudaybiyya. Or be fired. Or both. “Taliban Kills Five Bank Employees In Western Afghan Province,” DPA, April 10, 2020 (thanks […]

Taliban say coronavirus is “sent by Allah because of the sins of mankind,” demand medicine and aid from sinners

Apr 10, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Taliban in March declared that coronavirus was a disease “sent by Allah because of the disobedience and sins of mankind.” Yet they’re demanding “international relief, health and humanitarian organizations should execute their obligation of sending necessary equipment, medicine and aid to areas under our control and we shall lay the groundwork for their secure […]

Taliban claims that US and Afghan government are violating peace deal, warns that it is at its breaking point

Apr 7, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

That the Taliban would say this at some point was a foregone conclusion. Some may be surprised that it has happened this quickly, but that was to be expected as well. Islamic law regarding treaty-making with Infidels has been guiding the Taliban every step of the way, both in the peace negotiations and at present. […]

India: Islamic movement Tablighi Jamaat accused of spreading coronavirus tied to al Qaeda, Taliban, Kashmir jihadis

Apr 1, 2020 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Tablighi Jamaat is a fast growing Islamic revival group that is popular in Southeast Asia. It has been in the headlines of late because of its role in the spread of coronavirus. The group ignored all warnings and went ahead with mega conventions even after the outbreak of the virus. 250,000 people gathered in one […]

Afghanistan: Taliban shoot and kill woman who was accused of adultery

Mar 25, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Sharia directs that women accused of adultery be stoned to death. This report does not explain why this woman was shot to death instead. In any case, putting adulterers (although usually only women are punished this way) to death is not “extremist”; it is Islamic law. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, even […]

Afghanistan: Ghani approves release of 1500 Taliban prisoners with “written guarantee to not return to battlefield”

Mar 12, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“An unnamed member of the Taliban’s leadership council…accused the government of acting in bad faith, saying it only planned to release ‘those prisoners who are elderly, very ill, or those whose sentences have expired.” But if they’re promising not to return to the battlefield, why does he care if they’re “elderly” or “very ill”? The […]

Fresh from signing peace deal, Taliban murder 20 soldiers and cops in jihad massacres

Mar 9, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Anyone who didn’t see this coming must be a highly paid foreign policy “expert” in Washington. And because of it, there will be new calls for U.S. troops to stay in Afghanistan indefinitely, which is the last thing they should do. It is long past time for a new strategy of containment of jihad activity […]

US to sign peace deal with Taliban and move toward full withdrawal of American troops

Feb 29, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The US/Taliban peace talks have been a grim charade. No one in the foreign policy establishment will acknowledge the fact, but the Taliban are strict, Sharia-observant Muslims, and the Sharia guidelines for treaty-making with Infidels are based on Muhammad’s Treaty of Hudaybiyya. Muslims can only enter into such a treaty when they are weak and […]

New York Times runs op-ed by Taliban jihadi wanted for questioning in connection with jihad murders

Feb 21, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Haqqani accused Americans of flip-flopping and moving the goalposts when it comes to negotiations, claiming that the group even kept the door open when President Trump called off talks.” That’s what this is all about: hitting Trump. If Hitler were alive today and criticizing Trump, you’d get a New York Times op-ed, “What We, the […]

When the US-Taliban peace deal is signed, 5,000 Taliban jihadis will be freed from prison

What could possibly go wrong? Surely they will become loyal, stable, productive Afghan citizens now, won’t they? “Taliban’s 5,000 prisoners will be released as US, Taliban peace deal is signed,” Khaama Press, December 30, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The release of 5,000 prisoners of Taliban has been written in to the peace […]

Afghanistan: Sharia-adherent Muslims murder three secular judges after Taliban stop their car

Nov 16, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

These were members of the Afghan judiciary, which the Taliban consider illegitimate and not fully Sharia-adherent. This happened, moreover, while American troops are there. It will keep on happening after American troops are gone. Our expenditure of blood and treasure in Afghanistan is useless, and should have ended a very long time ago. “Judges killed […]

Taliban and Iranian Alliance against the West

Oct 24, 2019 3:00 pm By Rami Dabbas

Hundreds of Taliban fighters are being trained by Iranian Special Forces inside military academies in Iran, The Times reported, quoting Afghan officials. According to the newspaper, the intense and unprecedented Iranian exercises of the Taliban are not just a manifestation of the proxy war between the United States and Iran, but they reflect a shift in Iran’s […]

Afghanistan: Weapons, mines and bombs found stored in a mosque

Oct 23, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A mosque? Why didn’t the mosquegoers explain to those storing this materiel that Islam was a religion of peace and that they shouldn’t thus desecrate a house of worship? No doubt that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Kandahar now to explain to the leaders of this mosque that “authentic […]

Afghanistan: Three US troops wounded when Afghan police officer “ally” opens fire on them

Oct 6, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

One of the chief elements of the rap sheet on me from the Southern Poverty Law Center and its allied Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations is that I have said that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslims. And here we are. “Three US troops […]

The Last Two Sikhs In Helmand

Oct 4, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

This was a very small story. It was about a very small group of people. Two, to be exact, the last two Sikhs in Helmand Province in Afghanistan. But this story tells us a lot about Muslim behavior. LASHKAR GAH, HELMAND, AFGHANISTAN – Like many other Afghans, Satnam Singh rides on a bicycle to work […]

Afghanistan: Pro-Sharia Muslims injure 15 with jihad bomb outside mosque used as polling station

Sep 30, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Taliban consider voting to be a sinful act. Law comes from Allah and is not subject to disagreement or consensus. Voting is a feature of societies built on mandmade law, which the Taliban don’t consider Sharia to be. Does the administration really think that they can conduct fruitful negotiations with people who believe these […]

Associated Press: “Suicide bomb kills at least 20 people in Southern Afghanistan”

Sep 21, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

This is akin to the New York Times’ September 11 tweet saying that “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.” In this case, the Taliban even claimed responsibility, but AP would rather we think a rogue suicide bomb got it in its head to cause some trouble, […]
