At this point these facts are well known, but here is more confirmation. I’ve received the message from a doctor and former classmate of Nidal Hasan: He was an outspoken jihadist. He stated publicly that Shariah Law came before the Constitution that he swore an oath to uphold. He did off topic presentations in public […]
Obama: “The rituals of Hajj and Eid-ul-Adha both serve as reminders of the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions”
I’m a bit late with this, but it is still worth noting. The Islamic Feast of Eid al-Adha commemorates the end of the pilgrimage to Mecca, the Hajj, and Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son — Ishmael in the Muslim version. In thinking of Abraham, most Americans think of the Biblical figure. In Genesis 22:15-18, […]
9/11 plotters start on their road to freedom: lawyers to argue they’re incompetent to stand trial
The glorious fruit of giving the 9/11 plotters civilian trials is already beginning to appear. Watch for these guys to walk — after wasting a few taxpayer millions, that is. “Mental State Cited in 9/11 Case,” by Jess Bravin in the Wall Street Journal, November 27 (thanks to Elisa): WASHINGTON — When five defendants are […]
CIA wants Muslims, Muslims don’t want CIA
What efforts will be taken to ensure that the recruits are not jihadi infiltrators? Why, none. “CIA goes hiring in heart of Arab America,” by Soyoung Kim for Reuters, November 27 (thanks to all who sent this in): DEARBORN, Michigan (Reuters) – At Tuhama’s Lebanese deli in Dearborn, and at bakeries and barbershops throughout town, […]
Censorship at Columbia and Princeton
Jihadis and their allies continue their Alinskyite strategy of marginalizing their opponents — and their thuggish attempts to silence them. And dhimmi university officials are all too happy to oblige them. Free Speech Death Watch Alert: “Free Speech Silenced at Columbia and Princeton,” by Pamela Geller in The American Thinker, November 24: Nonie Darwish, the […]
U.S. Army never considered the possibility that jihadis might infiltrate it
And it did not do so out of fear of being accused of “Islamophobia.” More bitter fruit of political correctness: “Threat of jihad infiltration did not factor into U.S. Army’s screening process,” from the World Tribune, November 23 (thanks to Mackie): WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army, fearing political repercussions, refused to consider the prospect of […]

Malignant Turks refuse to play Israeli national anthem for Israeli chess tournament winner, who stands defiant
Defiant and victorious Marsel Efroimski, a 13-year-old Israeli chess prodigy, yesterday became the Girls’ Under-14 World Chess Champion when she won the Gold Medal for her age group at the World Youth Chess Championships held in Turkey. This in itself is not of any interest to Jihad Watch — except that during the awards ceremony, […]
Best Buy wishes you a Happy Eid al-Adha
What? Happy Eid al-Adha? Not “Happy Holidays”? Suddenly Best Buy has found a holiday it can actually mention by name without fear of censure from the Politically Correct Police? (Thanks to Joe.)
Fitzgerald: John Esposito, Colin Powell, and the Muslim Soldier Who Was Among the Few Exceptions that Prove the Rule
“What about the many Muslims who have served and now the 20,000 who currently serve in the armed forces, those that fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq? Are they influenced by their religion in their willingness to serve, fight and die for their country? Courageous Muslims like Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, praised by Colin […]
Raymond Ibrahim on the Fort Hood jihadist: “While the media wonders…why he did it…the fact is his behavior comports well with certain Islamic doctrines”

Fun for the whole umma: it’s Burkha Barbie!
Maybe these are the sort of dolls Muhammad’s pre-pubescent wife was playing with: “Narrated ‘Aisha: I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah’s Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet […]
Maldives misunderstands Islam, bans non-Muslim houses of worship
The bill is full of tolerance, however: it allows non-Muslims to worship in private homes. This is one of those stories where it becomes bitterly ironic — those who report on this will be called “Islamophobic,” but no one will particularly mind that the Maldives is systematically stamping out the freedom of religion in the […]
Senators getting closer: Fort Hood massacre was terrorism
It’s not the whole truth. It’s not “Fort Hood massacre was jihad,” although even that word comes up. It’s not an acknowledgment that the attack was motivated by the same murderous ideology that took down the Twin Towers and that threatens Israel and other free nations around the world every day, but it’s a step. […]
SecDef orders Army inquiry into why nobody reported the Fort Hood jihadist
Secretary Gates, I can save you a lot of time and trouble: no one reported Nidal Hasan because they were afraid of the repercussions that would come to them in this politically correct age. They were afraid of being accused of being racists, bigots, hatemongers, etc. They were afraid of showing up in the next […]
Windsor, Ontario: Police chief apologizes to Muslims for offending them during FBI arrests

Fitzgerald: Islamic heretics? Really?
“We are at war…with Islamic heretics” — from an article in the Los Angeles Times by Judith Miller and David Samuels Now we all know what a Christian heresy is. It is a belief that is held by some who call themselves Christians that has been characterized or defined as a “heresy” by other Christians […]
“We are at war, whether we like it or not, with Islamic heretics who argue that their own beliefs supersede traditional Islamic law”
More denial and obfuscation. “Our enemy is not Islam — it’s extremists: The U.S. response should be zero tolerance for political cultists who try to achieve their goals through violence, regardless of their religion,” by Judith Miller and David Samuels for the Los Angeles Times, November 11: […] Underlying both the left- and right-wing narratives […]
Spencer: The Phantom Backlash
In Human Events this morning I discuss the uppermost concern of the law enforcement, government, and media elites in the wake of the jihad attack at Fort Hood: the fear of an anti-Muslim backlash. Backlash fever is sweeping the nation: thirteen Americans are dead and thirty-eight wounded in a jihad attack at Fort Hood, and […]
