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

Bangladesh: Muslim threatens to cut throat, dismember cricket player because he took part in Hindu ceremony

Nov 21, 2020 1:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 45 Comments

More Islamic intolerance that doesn’t make it to headline news in the West: cricket player Shakib al-Hasan, who is a Bangladeshi Muslim, decided to practice some real diversity and tolerance by engaging in a Hindu ceremony. Woe be unto him. “His official Facebook fan page lost nearly a million followers.” Much more importantly, he has […]

Bangladesh: Hindu student accused of insulting Muhammad, is suspended from university and goes missing

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

Any university in the United States would have suspended or at least reprimanded her as well. You can’t criticize Muhammad in academic settings today; America’s colleges and universities are wholly compromised. The girl’s name is spelled in different ways in this story. I don’t know which spelling is correct. “Hindu girl, who was suspended from […]

Bangladesh: 17 Muslims arrested in front of a mosque, planned to go to Saudi Arabia to wage jihad

May 10, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A mosque? Had the 17 arrested Muslims just come out of that mosque? Has that mosque’s teachings been investigated? Why not? “Bangladesh Arrests Suspected Militants Bound for Saudi Arabia, Police Say,” by Kamran Reza Chowdhury, BenarNews, May 5, 2020: Bangladeshi police have arrested 17 suspected militants who wanted to travel to Saudi Arabia by land […]

Bangladesh: Five Muslims plotted jihad attack at International Society for Krishna Consciousness temple in Dhaka

Mar 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If the plot had been by Krishna devotees at a mosque, it would be international news. But no one will take any notice of this. “Plan to sabotage ISKCON temple in capital,” The Independent (Bangladesh), February 11, 2020: A Dhaka court yesterday placed five members of banned militant outfit Ansar-al-Islam on four-day remand each in […]

Bangladesh: Singer arrested for hurting “religious sentiments” of Muslims

Feb 6, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Earlier, on January 29, a Tangail court denied bail to Baul singer Shariat Sarkar, who was arrested for allegedly making comments that hurt ‘religious sentiments’ of Muslims.” We are much more enlightened in the West. We believe in the freedom of speech. Those who hurt the “religious sentiments” of Muslims aren’t arrested. They’re just smeared […]

Bangladesh: Hospital suspends plans to give donated breast milk to needy newborns after backlash by Muslim clerics

Dec 31, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Better these newborns die than that Islamic law is violated. How likely do you think it is that these Muslim clerics will ignore the Qur’an’s teachings on jihad warfare against unbelievers? “Bangladesh halts breast milk scheme after Islamic cleric backlash,” AFP, December 30, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): DHAKA: A Bangladesh hospital has […]

Bangladesh: Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” as they’re sentenced to death for murdering 22 non-Muslims

Nov 28, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Seven Islamists have been sentenced to death for a 2016 attack on a cafe in the Bangladeshi capital in which 22 people….Some of the men shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (an Arabic phrase meaning ‘God is greatest’) as they were led away from the packed courtroom.” As far as they were concerned, it was a triumph. “Holey […]

“I escaped death by reciting from the Koran”

Jan 13, 2017 9:47 am By Robert Spencer

Pope Francis is no doubt on his way to Dhaka now to explain to these jihad murderers that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” “‘I escaped death by reciting from the Koran,’” by Linda Pressly, BBC News, January 12, 2017: When five armed Islamist militants […]

Bangladesh: Christmas jihad suicide bombing in Catholic church foiled, security heightened around 62 Dhaka churches

Dec 29, 2016 9:44 am By Robert Spencer

The New Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh is an Islamic State group that also planned New Year’s jihad massacres. “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) Yet Christians in the […]

Bangladesh: Five Muslims arrested for plotting Islamic State New Year jihad massacre

Dec 29, 2016 9:18 am By Robert Spencer

“Authorities have already banned all outdoor gatherings in Dhaka from dusk on Dec. 31 to dawn on Jan. 1 on security grounds.” And so in one sense the jihad terrorists have already won, for they have succeed in striking terror in the enemies of Allah, as they’re commanded to do in the Qur’an (8:60). How […]

Mumbai police: Zakir Naik has been paying people to convert to Islam

Jul 29, 2016 11:43 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

It keeps getting worse for the wildly popular Islamic preacher Zakir Naik. Described as the “third most popular guru in India,” deemed “the rock star of tele-evangelism and a proponent of modern Islam,” and whose Peace Channel boasts 100 million viewers, Zaik’s reputation has been taking a global flogging lately. Now comes word that Naik, […]

Bangladesh: University profs inciting students to “attack non-Muslims”

Jul 18, 2016 9:22 pm By Robert Spencer

You would think that university professors would avoid what Western non-Muslim authorities would have us believe is a misunderstanding of Islam. Yet they do not. Now, why is that? “Scores of educators held for inciting terrorism in Bangladesh,” by Sumon Corraya, Asia News, July 15, 2016: Dhaka (AsiaNews) – Bangladeshi police have discovered that dozens […]

Jihadist attacks in Bangladesh increase as Christianity soars

Jul 18, 2016 10:39 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

As the number of Christians increase in Bangladesh, so do the attacks against them by Islamic jihadists. The Islamic State fighters who slaughtered 20 people in a Bangladesh cafe in Dhaka on July 1 caused terror and intimidation, but even so, one Pastor bravely proclaimed: “persecution will come more but the believers and I are […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Qur’an Test in Dhaka

Jul 4, 2016 7:26 am By Robert Spencer

The final exam is a killer. My latest in FrontPage: As Ramadan draws to a merciful close, we have in Bangladesh yet another Islamic jihad massacre, followed by the now drearily familiar attempts to obscure the Islamic character of the massacre, and to keep the public ignorant and complacent regarding the nature and magnitude of […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Pass/Fail in Bangladesh

Jul 2, 2016 7:15 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

“The gunmen were doing a background check on religion by asking everyone to recite from the Quran. Those who could recite a verse or two were spared. The others were tortured.” This from the jihad attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery, in Dhaka. In the middle of the nineteenth century, the English naturalist Henry Bates, a contemporary of […]

Bangladesh: Muslims murder 20 hostages, 13 others saved

Jul 2, 2016 11:11 am By Robert Spencer

Prime Minister Hasina said: “Anyone who believes in religion cannot do such act. They do not have any religion, their only religion is terrorism.”… Yet the jihadis “did not hit people who could recite verses from the Quran. The others were tortured. The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Quran. Those who recited […]

“The gunmen were doing a background check on religion by asking everyone to recite from the Quran. Those who could recite a verse or two were spared.

Ramadan in Bangladesh: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” take hostages in restaurant

Jul 1, 2016 2:40 pm By Robert Spencer

“Jamuna Television reported, quoting a kitchen staff worker at the restaurant who escaped the attack, said that the gunmen chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God Is Great) as they launched the attack.” It actually means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god. They screamed this as they began their attack because they consider their attack a […]

Bangladesh: Authorities close down book stand for insulting Islam

This kind of thing is coming soon to a Western country near you. After all, we already all know that drawing Muhammad is not an exercise in the freedom of speech, but something that non-Muslims should avoid doing so as not to insult Islam, right? How long before the websites start getting shut down and […]
