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

The Fantasy Islam of Rice University’s Craig Considine (Part 3)

Dec 3, 2020 11:00 am By Stephen M. Kirby 6 Comments

In this final part we will look a little further into Considine’s Fantasy Islam, and then my concluding remarks. Muhammad did not condemn Christians to hellfire or call them inferior On p. 113 Considine wrote: …Muhammad did not condemn Christians to the eternal hellfire. Nor did the Prophet think that Christians are inferior people who […]

The Fantasy Islam of Rice University’s Craig Considine (Part 2)

Dec 2, 2020 1:00 pm By Stephen M. Kirby 18 Comments

Let’s continue examining the creativity of Considine’s Fantasy Islam. Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon On p. 61 Considine lauded Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon as an example of Muhammad’s belief in racial equality: The Farewell Sermon (see Appendix 2) of Muhammad…is another noteworthy manifestation of the Prophet’s stance on anti-racism. He stated in the sermon: “…a white person has […]

Egypt reiterates refusal to link terrorist acts with Islam

Dec 1, 2020 1:30 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 10 Comments

Recall in 2015 the highly publicized call by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi for a religious “revolution” and reform of Islam, a call that drew global accolades. Sisi declared, among other things: “Is it possible that 1.6 billion people [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants – that is 7 billion […]

‘The general spirit of Qur’an is to extend one’s compassion and mercy to all men and women inhabitating the planet’

Nov 30, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 19 Comments

Ashraf Amin writes this about Muhammad: “When he was stoned, taunted in the streets of Taif, he instead of cursing the wicked, prayed to Allah that their progeny may accept the message and meaning of Islam.” He is not telling the whole story. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention […]

Muslim cleric: ‘All forms of violence and terrorism are against the refined ethics that are propagated by Islam’

Nov 30, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

Murtadha Muhammad Gusau is the Chief Imam of Nagazi-Uvete Jumu’ah and the late Alhaji Abdur-Rahman Okene’s Mosques, Okene, Kogi State, Nigeria. Here he offers yet another Islamic condemnation of terrorism that falls short of its sweeping claims, but will no doubt fool many nevertheless. Comments interspersed below. “There’s No Violence, No Terrorism In Islam,” by […]

OIC stresses need to counter terrorism and ‘Islamophobia,’ says Islam has nothing to do with terrorism

Nov 30, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

They have to keep insisting that there is no link between Islam and terrorism because terrorists so frequently link the two. In any case, remember this the next time you hear that the OIC condemns terrorism. They very clearly are not referring to jihad terrorism, as they’re assuming that jihad activity is not terrorism at […]

UK: Muslim jailed for encouraging jihad massacres had attended ‘deradicalization’ program

Nov 25, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 17 Comments

Deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives: Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat UK: Libyan migrant who went on stabbing spree in Reading was in government deradicalization program UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s […]

UK: More than 2,000 adult migrants have been caught lying about their age and pretending to be children

Nov 24, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 14 Comments

Via the “refugee” crisis, numerous able-bodied, military-age young Muslims entered European countries, with many claiming to be “unaccompanied minors” in order to bolster their victim status and have a better chance of entering. European officials, as credulous (or afraid of being called “Islamophobic” as ever), generally accepted their claims about their ages at face value. […]

The Iowa Law Enforcement Academy Meets Fantasy Islam

Nov 17, 2020 7:00 pm By Stephen M. Kirby 16 Comments

According to its website, The Iowa Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) was created by an act of the Iowa legislature in 1967 with its purpose being to upgrade law enforcement to professional status. The specific goals were to maximize training opportunities for law enforcement officers…[1] In furtherance of this training goal, on November 9-10, 2020 the […]

Muslim author: ‘It is mistakenly believed that Islam prescribes capital punishment for those who commit blasphemy’

Nov 10, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 14 Comments

These presentations to Western non-Muslims about how Islam really doesn’t sanction whatever abominable behavior was just committed in the name of Islam are uniformly dishonest, and designed to foster complacency in readers. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give […]

Gulf News: ‘Terrorism is most offensive to the Prophet and Islam’

Nov 10, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 18 Comments

I’d be happy to jump on board with this, but these presentations are always so dishonest. If they would bother to explain passages such as these, then they might have a case. But the problem is not that I am not convinced. The problem is that many Muslims are are aware of these passages and […]

Al-Azhar grand imam says man who beheaded teacher doesn’t speak for Islam, but warns against ‘insulting religions’

Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar, said: “I declare that Islam, its teachings and its Prophet are innocent of this wicked terrorist crime….At the same time, I emphasize that insulting religions and attacking their sacred symbols under the banner of freedom of expression is an intellectual double standard and an open invitation to hatred.” No […]

Was Muhammad Really the ‘First Anti-Racist in Human History’?

Oct 23, 2020 2:00 pm By Stephen M. Kirby 57 Comments

 In June 2020, Dr. Craig Considine, a Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Rice University, produced a video titled “Who Is the First Anti-Racist in Human History?”  In this video Considine identified Muhammad as that “First Anti-Racist.”  Considine noted: Arguably, Prophet Muhammad was the first person in human history to declare, in no […]

Catholic scholar falsely claims that Muhammad responded non-violently to those who mocked him

Oct 21, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 39 Comments

Craig Considine depends upon the ignorance of his audience about Islam. “Catholic Scholar Spins Jihadi Beheading,” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, October 19, 2020: PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) – A Catholic sociologist is whitewashing Muhammad’s violent response to people who mocked him as thousands rallied across France Sunday to honor a schoolteacher who was beheaded for showing cartoons of Muhammad […]

Azerbaijan: Armenia hit ‘dense residential areas’ with missiles. Armenia: ‘No fire was opened’ toward Azerbaijan.

Oct 10, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 19 Comments

As Turkish journalists Yasin Aktay and İbrahim Karagül are likening Azerbaijan’s conflict with Armenia to the “Palestinian” jihad, this could be an indication that the Azerbaijanis have picked up the “Palestinian” jihad tactic of manufacturing Israeli atrocities and airing them worldwide through the establishment media. “Azerbaijan says Armenia targets cities outside conflict zone,” by Aida […]

Al-Azhar condemns Macron’s plan for fighting ‘Islamic separatism’ as an ‘explicit call for racism and hate’

Oct 6, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Racism? Really? What race is “Islamist separatism” again? I keep forgetting. Anyway, we have seen this many, many times before. Any counterterror initiative, no matter how mild, no matter how carefully worded, no matter how many “moderate” profiteers it puts front and center, will be condemned as “racist” and “hateful.” The effect of this is […]

Rushdie rejects Cat Stevens’ claim that he was ‘framed’ when he endorsed Rushdie’s death fatwa for blasphemy

Oct 5, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 74 Comments

Note the dishonesty. “Islam subsequently clarified that he was not condoning the killing of Rushdie but simply stating that, in the Koran, blasphemy is punishable by death.” That was then. Now his lawyers have issued a statement that says: “Regardless of the interpretation that was put on his statements in 1989, he does not support […]

Reality: Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220).

A Few Questions for Craig Considine

Oct 1, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 18 Comments

Craig Considine is a lecturer in sociology at Rice University who continues to call himself a Christian, though for years he has been a Defender of the Faith – that faith being Islam. For Considine, Islam is a religion of “love.” He doesn’t bother to try to engage with, or explain away, such Qur’anic verses […]
