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

Philadelphia: Muslim who shot cop says, “I follow Allah, and that’s why I did what I did”

Feb 2, 2018 7:27 am By Robert Spencer

Archer “told detectives that he believes police enforce laws that undermine the Quran’s teachings. He said: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, and that’s why I did what I did.” Will some “moderate” Muslim spokesman in the U.S. explain how Archer is misunderstanding Islam, and how his shooting of Officer […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Five Jihadis in the U.S. You Haven’t Heard Of

Jan 30, 2018 7:36 am By Robert Spencer

The media hardly mentioned that five U.S. jihadis were in court last week. My latest in PJ Media: The establishment media remains committed to the narrative that Muslims are far more often victims of “Islamophobia” than perpetrators of terrorist activity, and so many jihadis in the U.S. get scant press attention. Just in the last […]

Philadelphia: Muslim who shot cop refuses to enter plea, saying “I don’t plead to anyone but Allah”

Jan 28, 2018 9:20 am By Robert Spencer

Edward Archer said he shot Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett because “police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.” But Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney, who is one of the bigger fools on this planet, immediately announced that the shooting had “nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Liars or Fools: Which Govern America?

Jan 15, 2016 8:58 am By Raymond Ibrahim

When it comes to the connection between Islam and “anti-infidel” violence, one fact must be embraced: the majority of those in positions of leadership and authority in America are either liars or fools, or both. No other alternative exist. The reason for this uncharitable assertion is simple: If Islam was once a faraway, exotic religion, […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Philly Shooter: I Did It For Allah. Philly Mayor: No, You Didn’t.

Jan 11, 2016 9:27 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage today I explain why Philly Mayor Jim Kenney would be the funniest man in the City of Brotherly Love, if the stakes weren’t so high. Philadelphia comedian Jim Kenney has a flair for absurdist humor, and his talents were on abundant display Thursday, when a local jihadi, a convert to Islam named Edward […]

Philadelphia cop shooter was “frequent member” of local mosque

Jan 11, 2016 8:42 am By Robert Spencer

Initially, the imam said he didn’t know the jihad shooter Abdul Shaheed (Edward Archer), who said that he shot officer Jesse Hartnett for Allah, because Abdul Shaheed pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Now it appears that enough facts are known about the shooter’s relationship to the mosque that he is having to backtrack. This […]

Tipster tells Philly police that cop shooter was part of still-active jihad cell

Jan 10, 2016 6:45 pm By Robert Spencer

He was “not the most radical of the four,” and the other three are still at large. “Philadelphia Police, FBI Investigate New Threat Against Law Enforcement After Ambush, Shooting of Officer,” by Morgan Zalot, NBC10.com, January 10, 2016 (thanks to Steve): Philadelphia Police are investigating an anonymous tip which claims a group affiliated with the […]

Philly cop shooter jihadi’s brother: he’s not mentally ill, made pilgrimage to Mecca

Jan 9, 2016 3:45 am By Robert Spencer

The Philadelphia jihad gunman’s brother explodes the claim that was circulating yesterday, that the shooter was mentally ill. The shooter himself said: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did.” “Accused Gunman in Ambush of Officer Admits to Acting in the Name of Islam,” […]

Philly cop shooter: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did.”

Jan 8, 2016 3:12 pm By Robert Spencer

The reaction from authorities is completely according to the same old tired script. One wonders how they can keep a straight face. There needs to be an investigation into how Islamic jihadis are incited to violence by Islamic texts and teachings. These officials are obfuscating the need for such an investigation. “Police: Gunman shot cop […]

Philadelphia Mayor: Shooting of cop in name of Islam had “nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith”

Jan 8, 2016 2:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Edward Archer said he shot Philadelphia Police Officer Jesse Hartnett because “police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran.” But Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney wants you to know that the shooting had “nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.” I called this earlier today, writing here […]
