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

Here We Go: Swamp Rats Start Laying the Groundwork for Sending U.S. Troops Into Syria

Nov 18, 2020 10:00 pm By Robert Spencer 24 Comments

My latest in PJ Media: If Donald Trump doesn’t take the Oath of Office on January 20, 2021, one principal but little-noted reason for this may be that he crossed one of the most powerful and least accountable forces in the nation: the military-industrial complex. As Trump said last September, “the top people in the […]

AP blames France’s ‘brutal colonial past, staunch secular policies and tough-talking president’ for jihad violence

Nov 1, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 49 Comments

There have been reports that AP deleted its tweet of this article, but the article itself is still available. AP here reflects the common Western assumption that whenever Muslims behave violently, it is the fault of non-Muslims. In an odd manifestation of unconscious ethnocentrism and paternalism, “journalists” such as Angela Charlton assume that Muslims are […]

How the Mainstream Media Covered Secretary Pompeo on the Settlements

Nov 26, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

When Secretary of State Pompeo announced that the Trump Administration did not view Israeli settlements as violating international law, the American media did its best to convince its audience that this was a radical departure from “40 years” of settled policy. The New York Times outdid itself, insisting in its headline that: In Shift, U.S. […]

University of Florida Prof Hails Caliphate as ‘Historic Institution’ That ISIS Is ‘Hijacking’

Nov 20, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: University of Florida professor Ken Chitwood wrote Wednesday in the Associated Press’ commentary section, “The Conversation,” that “the Islamic State tries to boost its legitimacy by hijacking a historic institution.” He then provided a drive-by overview of the history of various Islamic caliphates, so whitewashed as to rival the Washington […]

Associated Press: “Suicide bomb kills at least 20 people in Southern Afghanistan”

Sep 21, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

This is akin to the New York Times’ September 11 tweet saying that “18 years have passed since airplanes took aim and brought down the World Trade Center.” In this case, the Taliban even claimed responsibility, but AP would rather we think a rogue suicide bomb got it in its head to cause some trouble, […]

Owner of minor league baseball teams refuses to meet with Hamas-linked CAIR for being chairman of anti-terror group

Aug 17, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Note the AP’s description of Hamas-linked CAIR as “a Muslim civil rights group.” It doesn’t see fit to inform its readers that CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part Four)

Apr 6, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Here’s how that AP story might be rewritten: The body of Ori Ansbacher, 19, was found in the woods in the West Bank near Jerusalem on Thursday with extensive stabbing wounds. She had been working as a volunteer at a youth center, and apparently went for a walk in the woods. She had  been raped […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part Three)

Apr 5, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The protesters frequently hurl rocks and firebombs, and Israeli soldiers respond with tear gas and live fire. Israel, which has been accused of using excessive force, says it does what it must to protect its borders. The protesters do more than “frequently” hurl rocks and firebombs. They keep trying to breach Israel’s security fence, and […]

Apr 4, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians attended the funerals of the teenagers. The mother of 14-year-old Hassan Shalabi wailed as mourners brought his body on a stretcher for a final farewell at their home in the Nusseirat refugee camp. “He was everything beautiful at home; his voice, his happiness fills the house.

Hugh Fitzgerald: How the AP Covered the Murder of Ori Ansbacher (Part One)

Apr 3, 2019 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

The AP’s report on the murder of an Israeli girl, Ori Ansbacher, and on the deaths of two “Palestinian” teenagers, left much to be desired. The body of Ori Ansbacher, 19, was found in the woods in the West Bank near Jerusalem on Thursday with stabbing wounds. She was buried Friday in the Israeli settlement […]

AP: “In aftermath of bike path killings, mosques near NYC face hostility again”

Nov 4, 2017 6:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Again and again we see it: whenever there is an Islamic jihad massacre, the establishment media acts as if Muslims were the victims. One would get the impression that Sayfullo Saipov were a “right-wing extremist” who had run over Muslims with his truck. As for the death threats this mosque supposedly received, is there any […]

AP: Praying the Rosary is “Islamophobic”

Oct 9, 2017 10:27 am By Robert Spencer

This morning Christine Douglass-Williams brought you a report here at Jihad Watch on this Roman Catholic “Rosary to the Borders” event in Poland. Noteworthy also is how the Associated Press covered the event: “some felt,” the AP intoned, that the event “had anti-Muslim overtones.” Why? Because “the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle […]

Former Hamas-linked CAIR official freed from prison after doing time for weapons charges

Apr 24, 2017 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

Royer was just an idealist, you see. Matthew Barakat of the Associated Press loves Ismail Royer. “When I look back at myself, I don’t see myself as an extremist,” he said. “I see myself as being naive, romantic, a Don Quixote kind of guy.” He includes that quote about a man who just served time […]

AP changes Fresno jihad mass murderer’s words from “Allahu akbar,” removes Islam reference

Apr 19, 2017 9:35 am By Robert Spencer

This is typical of the establishment propaganda media, which apparently now considers its chief responsibility not to report on jihad attacks accurately, but to make sure that no one thinks negatively about Islam as a result of those attacks. “AP Changes Fresno Shooter’s Words From ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Removes Islam Reference,” by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, […]

Imam admits Orlando jihad mass murderer prayed in mosque four days before massacre

Oct 1, 2016 6:44 am By Robert Spencer

“At first, Elagha said, he didn’t release the video clips but changed his mind after the recent stabbings in Minnesota and bombings in New Jersey and New York, and because of the backlash against American Muslims.” This doesn’t make any sense. “The recent stabbings in Minnesota and bombings in New Jersey and New York” were […]

Robert Spencer: After Muslim stabs non-Muslims in Minnesota mall, Minnesota Muslims play the victim

Sep 22, 2016 9:19 am By Robert Spencer

Over at the Geller Report I explode the latest exercise in spurious Muslim victimhood: A Muslim stabbed ten non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: AP Claims ISIS Recruits Have a Poor Grasp of Islam

Aug 25, 2016 7:24 am By Robert Spencer

Over at PJ Media I take apart yet another attempt to exonerate Islam of responsibility for crimes committed in its name and in accord with its teachings: At last the universal claim has been proven: Islamic terrorism has nothing, nothing whatsoever to do with Islam!

AP claims ISIS recruits have little knowledge of Islam, ignores ISIS’ adherence to Qur’an

Aug 19, 2016 3:06 pm By Robert Spencer

This AP study is one in an apparently endless stream of mainstream media articles intended to show us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and that the real Islam is peaceful and benign, so we need have no concern about the elites’ suicidal Muslim immigration policies. It is, as one might […]

AP’s “Refugee shot by Salt Lake City police” is Muslim migrant who was beating man with metal bar

Mar 14, 2016 5:18 pm By Robert Spencer

Media spin vs. reality. The truth is in this story, but it doesn’t prevent AP from trying to portray Abdullahi Mohamed as a poor victim who just came to the U.S. for a better life. And better metal bars, apparently. “Refugee shot by Salt Lake City police fled violence, squalor in search of a ‘better […]

AP “corrects” Trump for saying Islam treats women badly

Mar 13, 2016 3:50 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an likens a woman to a field (tilth), to be used by a man as he wills: “Your women are a tilth for you, so go to your tilth as you will” (2:223). It declares that a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man: “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, […]
