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

Zanzibar: “We rounded them up because we suspect they were engaged in homosexuality”

Sep 18, 2017 4:48 am By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an contains numerous condemnations of homosexual activity: “And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, ‘Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds? Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people.’…And We rained upon them a […]

Two jihadis charged with acid attack on British girls in Zanzibar

Sep 13, 2015 10:15 am By Robert Spencer

Women walking around without having everything except their faces and hands covered: a grave sin. Throwing acid on such women: pleasing to Allah. “Two suspected terrorists linked to Boko Haram are charged with horrendous acid attack on holidaying British teenagers,” by Corey Charlton, MailOnline, September 13, 2015: Two suspected terrorists with links to Islamic extremists […]

Zanzibar: Muslims Target Two Churches

Jul 2, 2015 8:31 am By Raymond Ibrahim

“Radicals” on the Muslim-majority island of Zanzibar recently targeted two churches for persecution, through legal means and otherwise. They drove Pastor Philemon, a father of five, into hiding and took over his New Covenant Church’s worship hall by getting the landlord to rent it to them before the church’s lease ended.  Once a congregation of […]

Interfaith outreach in Zanzibar: Islamic jihadists call Christian churches “dens of nonbelievers,” then bomb them

Mar 17, 2014 12:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Qur’an 5:17 and 5:72 labels those who believe in the divinity of Christ kafara — unbelievers, or infidels. And in the context of a holy book that tells Muslims to “fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness” (9:123), that all too often leads to violence. “Anglican bishop […]

Zanzibar: Muslims bomb cathedral and tourist bar

Feb 24, 2014 7:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Note yet again the lack of an actor in AFP’s headline, as if the bombs just decided to hit the cathedral and the bar. This is standard mainstream media practice when the perpetrators are Islamic jihadists. In any case, this bombing is unlikely to cause Anglican church leaders to pause for more than a second […]

Interfaith outreach in Zanzibar: Muslim mob storms church, beats visiting preacher

Jan 25, 2014 12:06 am By Robert Spencer

“We are looking for the bishop of the church to slaughter him – we are tired of the existence of this church near our mosque and the noise they are making.” Pictured above is a church that Muslims tore down in 2012. Probably the Christians in that church were making too much noise as well. […]

Zanzibar: Muslim cleric on the run, suspected in acid attack on UK Jewish girls

Aug 11, 2013 8:23 pm By Robert Spencer

The pious Issa If this cleric were of any other faith, this would be international news: a religious man, a holy man, implicated in an acid attack on two teenage girls who happen to be members of the faith that his holy book designates as the worst enemies of the believers (cf. Qur’an 5:82). But […]

Zanzibar: Muslim cleric incited acid attack on Jewish girls with his hate-filled sermons

Aug 10, 2013 6:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Zanzibar: Muslim group suspected of attacking British girls with acid because they are Jewish

Aug 9, 2013 9:26 am By Robert Spencer

“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews and those who associate others with Allah…” (Qur’an 5:82). In practice today, this all too often works out to Muslims being the most intense of people in animosity toward the Jews. “Zanzibar acid attack: finger pointed […]

Aug 8, 2013 12:03 pm By Robert Spencer

Zanzibar: Despite efforts to decrease domestic violence, men (including Muslim clerics) still beating women

Sep 1, 2012 4:57 am By Robert Spencer

Of course they are. Allah told them to: “Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34. “Tanzania: Zanzibar Men Still Beat Their Wives, Says Report,” by Issa Yussuf for the Tanzania Daily News, […]

Zanzibar: Muslim stop building of church, build mosque in its place

(And certainly not at Ground Zero, you greasy Islamophobe, you.) “Zanzibar Muslims, Officials Stop Church Building, Erect Mosque,” from Compass Direct News, August 6 (thanks to all who sent this […]
