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

Turkey’s ongoing persecution of Assyrian Christians

Jul 16, 2017 8:34 am By Robert Spencer

“The perpetrators of the genocide aimed to create a homogenous – Turkish and Muslim – country. A slogan that echoes a similar objective – ‘One flag, one homeland, one state, one language, one religion, one nation’ – has been commonly used by Turkish officials ever since. And in this mindset, there is no place for […]

Raymond Ibrahim: ISIS Slaughters Christians “In Their Beds”: Muslim Persecution of Christians, October 2015

Dec 29, 2015 7:27 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Gatestone Institute  Teams of trained killers disguised as refugees were sent by the Islamic State (IS) into U.N. refugee camps to kill Christians, including “in their beds,” and to kidnap young girls to sell or use as slaves. This came out, according to a report, on October 24, soon after an IS operative “got cold […]

Islamic State posts pictures of Christian women threatening that they will become sex slaves if ransom is not paid

Aug 15, 2015 11:49 am By Robert Spencer

Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or killing them, as well as enslaving them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them […]

Islamic State demands $23 million for Christian hostages

May 1, 2015 11:24 pm By Robert Spencer

They’re acting in full accord with Islamic law. Here is a salient passage on this issue from a Shafi’i manual of Islamic law: When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph considers the interests … (of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner’s death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself […]

Islamic State destroys churches, smashing crosses and icons

Mar 17, 2015 9:14 am By Robert Spencer

They destroy crosses because according to the Qur’an, Jesus was not crucified (4:157). The cross is considered offensive, because Allah would not allow one of his prophets to suffer defeat. “ISIS Destroys Assyrian Churches, Hostages Still Being Held,” AINA, March 16, 2015: ISIS members destroying the St. George Catholic Monastery in Mosul, Iraq (photo: ISIS […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: How & Why Islam Wages War Against ‘Idolatry’

Mar 16, 2015 7:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Over at PJ Lifestyle today I explain why the Islamic State seeks to destroy all memory of pre-Islamic and non-Islamic civilizations: The Islamic State has now destroyed numerous ancient Assyrian artifacts in the Mosul museum and bulldozed the 3,300-year-old city of Nimrud and the 2,000-year-old city of Hatra. It also recently blew up a tenth-century […]

Islamic State enters Christian town in Syria, removes church cross

Jan 31, 2015 7:10 pm By Robert Spencer

Where are the Muslims not just condemning this, but developing and instituting programs in mosques and Islamic schools to teach against the beliefs and assumptions that give rise to it? Certainly non-Muslims aren’t doing anything to call them to account — remember: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally […]
