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

Obama selected the list of Muslim countries in Trump’s executive order

Jan 31, 2017 9:14 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The list of concerned countries that the Trump administration outlined in the order is based on the one signed into law by the former Obama administration. So, it looks like the Obama White House set the groundwork Clearly there was a recognized homeland security problem for some time: the potential hazard of allowing in Muslim […]

Muslim migrants “happy with German attitude of welcoming other cultures and see it a suitable environment to spread Islam”

Jul 15, 2016 12:01 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Germans get a clue? Will Europe? “One of this man’s goals after getting the residence (permit) was to spread Islam. He said, ‘Europe will become Muslim, we will Islamicize (them).’” Will Europe do anything to try to prevent that from happening, or would any resistance be “Islamophobic”? “Refugees in Europe say they fear […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Al-Qaeda’s grievance-mongering to the West while “telling Muslims that the jihad must persevere until the globe is governed according to Islamic law [is] ignored”

Nov 13, 2009 9:25 am By Robert Spencer

Our pal Raymond Ibrahim reviews Al Qaeda in Its Own Words, edited by Gilles Kepel and Jean-Pierre Milelli, over at the Middle East Quarterly: Al Qaeda in Its Own Words provides the translated writings of four jihadis–Abdullah Azzam, Osama bin Laden, Ayman Zawahiri, and Abu Musab Zarqawi.

Al-Qaeda last week called for attacks on “any crusaders whenever you find one of them, like at the airports of the crusader Western countries that participate in the wars against Islam, or their living compounds, trains etc.”

Nov 6, 2009 10:42 am By Robert Spencer

Calling for freelance jihad. Just a coincidence, I’m sure. “Counterterrorism: Shifting from ‘Who’ to ‘How,’” by Scott Stewart and Fred Burton for Stratfor, November 4 (thanks to all who sent this in): In the 11th edition of the online magazine Sada al-Malahim (The Echo of Battle), which was released to jihadist Web sites last week, […]

Turkey momentarily remembers which side it’s supposed to be on, arrests 32 for jihad plots against Israeli and U.S. targets

Oct 15, 2009 9:50 am By Robert Spencer

See? Nothing to worry about from Erdogan and the advance of Sharia in Turkey. Let them into the EU! “Turkey: 32 suspects arrested in plots on Israeli, US targets,” from the Jerusalem Post, October 15 (thanks to Elisa): As if to send out a much-needed reminder of the mutual security interests between Ankara and Jerusalem […]

Oct 14, 2009 5:05 am By Marisol Seibold

France charges nuclear scientist with “membership [in] a terrorist group”

Oct 12, 2009 4:06 pm By Marisol Seibold

An update on this story. Regardless of the fact that “his work did not bring him into contact with anything that could be used for terrorism,” it should be cause for alarm and further inquiry that al-Qaeda has friends in such high places in the scientific community. “France charges nuclear scientist suspected of al Qaeda […]

Al-Qaeda jihadists plot attack against 2010 World Cup

Oct 11, 2009 5:20 pm By Marisol Seibold

Mozambique emerges as a base of operations for al-Qaeda’s jihadists. “Plot to bomb US buildings, disrupt World Cup,” by Makhudu Sefara and Peter Fabricius for IOL, October 11: Tired of fighting, and largely losing, against the US in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia, a group of Somali terrorists devised a strategy to take on the superpower […]

French Muslim nuclear researcher arrested for links to Al-Qaeda

Oct 9, 2009 9:34 am By Robert Spencer

When the EORN hired him, it is virtually certain that no one asked him any questions about what he thought about jihad, Sharia, Israel, republican government, freedom of speech, etc. Honest answers probably would not have been forthcoming, but it is extremely naive and stupid of authorities such as these simply to assume that Islam […]

“It is a historic fact that Islamic hostility for and aggression against non-Muslims transcends any and all temporal ‘grievances'”

Oct 9, 2009 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

Our old friend and former Jihad Watch writer Raymond Ibrahim, the most astute analyst of Al-Qaeda’s belief-system and ideology on the scene today, here elucidates a theme we have touched on many times here: why no redressing of Islamic grievances against the West (as Obama is relentlessly pursuing) will blunt the force of the global […]

China: Al-Qaeda urges jihad to “defend” Muslims

Oct 7, 2009 2:10 pm By Robert Spencer

When a Muslim land is attacked, it becomes the individual duty of every Muslim to do what he can to participate in the jihad to defend it. That is the rationale behind Al-Qaeda’s call here, and the background of its grievance-mongering. Note the use of the common Homeric epithet “restive,” always a mainstream media favorite […]

Well, if the objective is not victory in Iran, why should it be victory against the Taliban?

Silent-but-deadly jihad: Al-Qaeda increasing use of suppository bombs

Oct 6, 2009 10:35 am By Marisol Seibold

No, we didn’t get this story from The Onion. But the humorous potential is tempered by the fact that this tactic is already precipitating yet another wave of costly, inconvenient, and possibly even unhealthful security measures for travelers, as security agencies ponder the inclusion of full-body X-Rays at security checkpoints to catch devices such as […]

New al-Qaeda message: “After the election, we say to the unbeliever, Crusader German nation, may poison spill upon you and those who want war!”

Oct 5, 2009 11:38 am By Marisol Seibold

Never mind that Germany is in Afghanistan in the first place as part of NATO, and in response to the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaeda’s jihadists. Aside from that, the threat is unusually specific — either spoken in extreme confidence that an attack will go forward, or intended to divert authorities’ time and energy and create […]
