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

Mali: Jihad leader sentenced to death for terrorism says ‘I am not a terrorist; I am leading the jihad’

Nov 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

This distinction is important to keep in mind when you hear Muslim spokesmen in the West condemning terrorism. They may genuinely reject and abhor jihad violence, but if they don’t specify what they mean by “terrorism,” they may not be referring to or condemning jihad violence at all. “Mali: Ansar Dine leader Souleymane Keita, others […]

Mali: Chief of Islamic Police enforced brutal Sharia regime of public floggings, amputations and forced marriages

Feb 26, 2020 9:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“International Criminal Court judges on Wednesday rejected an appeal by an alleged Islamic extremist from Mali who argued that the charges against him were not serious enough to merit standing trial at the global court.” Not serious enough? In this Muslim Arab’s eyes, no. That’s because he views blacks as inferior, and it was blacks […]

Muslim gets nine years for destroying shrines in Timbuktu

Sep 27, 2016 12:13 pm By Robert Spencer

“The leadership of Ansar Dine believed that the shrines violated Islamic legal codes.” That means there will be much more of this sort of thing, as there has been throughout Islamic history. “Extremist Gets 9-Year Sentence Over Destroyed Shrines in Timbuktu,” by Marlise Simons, New York Times, September 27, 2016: PARIS — Judges at the […]

Muslim accused of destroying Timbuktu monuments sent to Hague

Sep 26, 2015 3:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad himself is depicted in a hadith as appearing to be in favor of such actions: “Narrated ‘Aisha and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas: When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Apostle came he started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his […]

Mauritania frees senior Malian Islamic jihadist

Aug 7, 2015 6:47 am By Robert Spencer

“Freeing an individual of this calibre will obviously allow him to again take up his jihadist activities and continue to commit crimes.” Why did Mauritania free such a man? Could it be that the Mauritanian government is sympathetic to his cause? That seems obvious, but no Western government will face it or its implications. “Mauritania […]

Mali: Islamic jihadists kill ten soldiers

Aug 5, 2015 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadists took control of a large portion of Mali several years ago and established a Sharia state, but the French drove them out. They have, however, not given up. Ansar Dine means Helpers of the Religion. Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “10 soldiers killed in attack on Mali camp: military,” […]

Mali: Police arrest 20 Islamic jihadists on bus bound for capital

Jul 16, 2015 9:26 am By Robert Spencer

The jihadis “want to show that they can strike anywhere, north or south.” With plots in France and Mali over the last few days, as well as lone jihadis plotting in Boston and acting in Rome and Boise, Idaho, they are showing that well. “Police in Mali Nab 20 Suspected Islamist Militants on Bus Bound […]

Malian academic: What Islamic jihad groups did in Mali “has nothing to do with Islam”

Dec 26, 2014 11:22 am By Robert Spencer

“What they did has nothing to do with Islam. They cut off people’s hands and feet.” “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides […]
