Could Idris Abdus-Salaam have been motivated by the Qur’an’s commands to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5)? Possibly, but we may never know for sure, because that possibility doesn’t fit the narrative that the political and media elites want very much for you to accept. “Truck stop stabbing spree suspect’s mother: […]

Germany: Muslim migrant randomly attacks two people with machete and axe, police say it’s “mental illness”
“Police arrested a 27-year-old Tunisian migrant in the German city of Augsburg after he randomly attacked two people with a machete and an axe….Minutes later, the migrant attacked another bus and threatened a woman inside after smashing the side windows of the vehicle.” The Islamic State and al-Qaeda have been long specifically calling for the […]
Germany: Muslim migrant threatens jihad bombing, cops considering it mental illness, not “Islamist activities”
More of the glorious results of Merkel’s compassionate and forward-looking immigration policies. But few Germans will realize this, as authorities are investigating the possibility that the perpetrator is mentally ill; “so far, the authorities have not targeted the man for Islamist activities.” No one in Germany is wondering whether this promise of Paradise has anything […]

Muslim who stabbed man, screamed “I’m going to kill you, Allah Allah” pleads not guilty on grounds of mental illness
Of course Ihsas Khan is no jihadi. Of course he is mentally ill, as is so often the case that jihad ought to make the next edition of the DSM, the repository of psychological diagnoses. What else could possibly be going on here? Pay no attention to the fact that the Islamic State issued this call […]

The book is also Amazon’s #1 New Release in the “Islam” category. Perhaps this explains why Jihadist Psychopath has been targeted by Twitter and […]
Australian PM dismisses mental illness as an “excuse” for “dangerous ideology of extremist Islam” after jihad attack
Shire Ali “was known to ASIO and had his passport cancelled in 2015, it is understood to prevent him travelling to Syria to join Islamic State.” Mental illness? Come on. The family’s claims might carry more weight if they could produce any evidence that Shire Ali was actually being treated for mental illness; so far […]
Germany: Muslim migrant strikes woman in the face, has “obvious mental illness,” is admitted to psychiatric clinic
This Muslim migrant “struck a nearby woman in the face with his fist, saying the words, ‘That comes from Satan.’” What could this possibly be but more of the global outbreak of mental illness? No doubt German authorities are confused by the fact that the man said, “That comes from Satan.” Is he a Satanist? […]
Toronto jihad murderer’s neighbors unaware of his “mental illness”
This is odd. His family’s statement said: “Our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life….While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end.” One would think that […]
French psychiatrist denies link between mental illness and jihad terror
Godet, who serves as head of the psychiatry unit at Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d’Or hospital centre and is a member of the national office of the Union of Hospital Psychiatrists (SPH), said: “There is no scientific study showing an objective link between jihadist radicalism and this or that personality structure.” Every act by jihadis worldwide has been perpetuated […]
Australia: Muslim who stabbed his neighbor while screaming “Allahu akbar” pleads not guilty due to mental illness
“A self-radicalised Sydney man stabbed his neighbour in an Islamic State-inspired attack to avenge US bombings of his ‘brothers and sisters in Iraq.’” Ihsas Khan, who has pleaded not guilty because of mental illness, “was on anti-psychotic medication at the time.” Western authorities frequently claim that jihadis are mentally ill in an attempt to conceal […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Oklahoma Beheading Trial: Is Obeying the Qur’an a Form of Mental Illness?
Seems both the prosecution and defense are “Islamophobes.” My latest in PJ Media: The trial of Alton Alexander Nolen — a.k.a. Jah’Keem Yisrael, who beheaded a coworker, Colleen Hufford, and tried to behead another, Traci Johnson, at Vaughan Foods in Moore, Oklahoma in September 2014 — has revealed anew the incoherence and inconsistency of our […]
Spiegel: Jihadi’s “transformation highlights a growing problem among refugees: mental illness”
This lengthy story about the Islamic jihadist who recently went on a stabbing spree in a supermarket in Hamburg attempts to show how his “transformation highlights a growing problem among refugees in the country: mental illness.” Here are some of the indications, as far as Spiegel is concerned, that “Ahmed A.” is descending into insanity: […]
Canada: Muslim convicted of jihad mass murder plot claims mental illness, plans appeal
On September 23, 2015, Jaser and Esseghaier were sentenced to life imprisonment for their roles in a jihad terror plot to derail a passenger train that travels between New York City and Ontario. Throughout the trial proceedings, Esseghaier remained defiant, insisting that only the Qur’an, not a Canadian court, could judge him and shouting Qur’an […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Jihad, the New Mental Illness
Why are so many “mentally ill” people committing jihad worldwide lately? My latest in PJ Media: Justin Sullivan converted to Islam in September 2014; that was when, says his father, he began “acting combatively.” Just three months later, he murdered a man who was a neighbor of his parents in Morganton, North Carolina. And last […]
Dusseldorf axe attacker arrested, from “former Yugoslavia,” cops say mental illness, no terror motive
“Former Yugoslavia”? Yugoslavia ceased to exist in 1992. That was 25 years ago. Why is that still a point of reference? Why don’t they say he is from the former Austro-Hungarian Empire? Can’t the police be a bit more specific? Is this axe attacker a Catholic from Croatia? Orthodox from Serbia? Or…a Muslim from Bosnia […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the global outbreak of mental illness
In this new video, I expose how mainstream media and law enforcement officials consistently mischaracterize and dismiss Islamic jihad attacks as manifestations of mental illness. I taped this just days before the Orlando jihad massacre, but it applies to Omar Mateen as well, as he has been widely described in mainstream media reports as mentally […]
Robert Spencer in Front Page: The Global Outbreak of Mental Illness
And you thought global warming was the biggest crisis the world faces. My latest in FrontPage: On Tuesday, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and “Infidel, you must die” stabbed four people, killing one, at a train station near Munich. Nonetheless, Bavarian security officials immediately denied that he “had an Islamic extremist motive.” Then what caused […]
Fearing more “mental illness,” France deploys soldiers in city centers
If the recent “Allahu akbar” attacks in France were all simply manifestations of “mental illness,” why are French authorities deploying soldiers in city centers? Are they afraid that the whole country is going crazy? Or are they well aware that these attacks were Islamic jihad attacks, despite their official denials? “France attacks: Gunman ‘armed to […]
California: Lawyer says accused jihadist has mental illness that made him vulnerable to agent posing as jihad recruiter
Yeah, sure, that’s it. Ased Abdur-Rahman, formerly (and everlastingly in the mainstream media, anxious as always to obscure the Islamic identity of jihad terrorists) Nicholas Michael Teausant, wanted to join the jihad in Syria because he was mentally ill. Do his defense lawyers really want to go there? Won’t Hamas-linked CAIR be enraged about this […]
