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

Video: Robert Spencer on why non-devout Muslims sometimes turn to jihad terror

Oct 19, 2016 12:38 pm By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss how the recent jihad attackers in New York and Minnesota may have opted to commit jihad violence: to redeem themselves after lives of sin and lack of interest in Islam. Call it redemptive jihad.

Authorities insist men who took NYC jihadi’s unexploded bomb out of suitcase “Egyptian tourists” who have returned home

Sep 29, 2016 10:06 am By Robert Spencer

“The NYPD insists they are being sought only for questioning, and officials said Wednesday the men are considered witnesses, not suspects.” What a coincidence! Two men from an overwhelmingly Muslim country just happen to discover — totally by accident! — a bomb left on a New York City street by an Islamic jihadist. They just […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: ‘Redemptive Jihad’: New York, Minnesota Terrorists Were Cleansing Their Sins

Sep 28, 2016 9:26 am By Robert Spencer

Non-observant Muslims who commit acts of jihad terror are seeking redemption. My latest in PJ Media: The news is full these days of stories about how everyone who knew the latest jihad attackers in New York and Minnesota is shocked — shocked! — that he could have done such a thing. If any of this […]

NYC jihad bomber spent weeks getting “Islamic education” at pro-Taliban Pakistan seminary

Sep 25, 2016 12:18 pm By Robert Spencer

This one is really going to leave New York Mayor de Blasio and other New York City authorities scratching their heads: they will be wracking their brains trying to figure out how a pious young man instructed in the Religion of Peace could have become such a spectacular misunderstander of Islam. Does he have an […]

NY jihad bomber’s father says he told FBI about his son’s fascination with jihad, FBI says he didn’t

Sep 24, 2016 12:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Between the father of a jihad terrorist and the FBI, it’s hard to know whom to believe. If the father is telling the truth, the FBI has good reason to lie about it, for otherwise it will be exposed as incompetent and Obama’s policies of denial of the jihad threat will be exposed as having […]

Federal complaint against NYC jihad bomber omits his journal’s references to the Islamic State

Sep 22, 2016 9:33 am By Robert Spencer

You may recall how the Obama administration edited the transcript of Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen’s 911 calls, removing his references to Allah and the Islamic State. Here again, the administration seems determined that the public know as little as possible about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat inside the United States. […]

NYC jihad bomber was flagged twice in 2014, but passed scrutiny

Sep 22, 2016 9:13 am By Robert Spencer

He passed scrutiny because the FBI and other agencies have no idea what they’re looking for. And that is because on October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates delivered a letter to John Brennan, who was then the assistant to the president on National Security for Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism. The letter was signed by […]

Despite references to jihad in NY bomber’s journal, investigators say they’ve found nothing linking him to terror groups

Sep 21, 2016 1:59 pm By Robert Spencer

The ideological kinship doesn’t matter to them, because it’s Obama administration policy to ignore and deny the existence of that ideology. And so they focus on whether or not he was in actual contact with foreign jihad terrorists, and pay no mind whatsoever to the spread of the jihad ideology among Muslims in the United […]

NY jihad bomber says he got orders from “terrorist leaders…to attack non-believers”

Sep 21, 2016 12:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with… One might think that the authorities who constantly lie to us about jihad activity and its underlying motivations would be embarrassed by stories like these, and that one of them would break ranks and start telling the truth. One would think wrong. “New York bombing suspect Ahmad […]

“The FBI has said Rahami apparently was not on its radar at the time of the bombing. But he was in 2014, when the FBI opened up an “assessment” — its least intrusive form of inquiry — based on comments from his father after a domestic dispute, the bureau said in a statement. ‘The FBI […]

NYC jihad bomber became “way more religious” after trip to Afghanistan

Sep 20, 2016 2:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Once again we see the connection between devout observance of Islam and jihad mass murder plotting. The denial is universal among our authorities, but the connection is unmistakable. “Ahmad Khan Rahami: Wounded suspect ‘way more religious’ after Afghan trip,” by Matt Kwong, CBC News, September 20, 2016: Ahmad Khan Rahami, the 28-year-old suspect “directly linked” […]

Ahmad Khan Rahami lived with his father. His father never noticed the pressure cookers, the bomb parts — none of it?

NY jihad bomber asked Congressmen for help to bring wife to US; wife left country days before jihad bombing

Sep 20, 2016 12:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Maybe she is spending time with the Orlando jihad murderer’s wife. The father of the shooter should be questioned before he, too, vanishes. Meanwhile, the fact that the jihad bomber sought help from a Congressman to get his wife here is yet another illustration of how jihadis manipulate the system for their own advantage. The […]

Reality-resistant authorities probing New York jihad bomber’s motive

Sep 20, 2016 10:54 am By Robert Spencer

Planes have bombed Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt said that authorities were trying to determine their motive, and cautioned against painting all Japanese with a broad brush and blaming them all for the actions of a few. This is a war. The motive of Ahmad Khan Rahami couldn’t possibly be clearer. It is called “jihad,” it […]

Gov. Andrew M.

Muslim wanted for bombs in NYC and New Jersey sued police, claiming they persecuted him for being a Muslim

Sep 19, 2016 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

He went from claims of victimhood to jihad; usually the trajectory is jihad first, then claims of victimhood. Will this revelation lead to claims that the “Islamophobia” of the Elizabeth, New Jersey police department led him to become “radicalized” and take up jihad? “EXCLUSIVE: Wanted New York and New Jersey bomb suspect sued his local […]
