UK Law Society apologizes and withdraws Sharia guidelines
“The Law Society has withdrawn controversial guidelines for solicitors on how to compile ‘Sharia compliant’ wills amid complaints that they encouraged discrimination against women and non-Muslims.” There is no doubt that when the Law Society adopted these guidelines, it had no idea that Sharia discriminated against women and non-Muslims; and if Law Society members had […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: UK: It Was “Racist” to Prosecute Muslim Rape Gangs
In FrontPage I discuss the latest in the slow-motion suicide that is modern-day Britain. Britain’s Birmingham Mail reported last week that Birmingham’s City Council buried a report about Muslim cab drivers exploiting non-Muslim girls back in 1990.A researcher, Dr. Jill Jesson, drafted a report on this issue. But, she explained, “the report was shelved, buried, […]
Islamic State training children to be jihad killers
“We’re going to kill you, O kuffar. Insha’allah we’ll slaughter you.” Kuffar = Infidels. Insha’allah = Allah willing. Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Children of the Jihad: ISIS Behead Kurdish Children; Train Kazakh Children to Fight,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, November 24, 2014: New horrific evidence of ISIS embroiling children […]
Professor Mia Bloom, Univ. of Mass.-Lowell, approvingly cites Nazi site’s depiction of Robert Spencer as “rat boy for Israel”
Mia M. Bloom is a Professor of Security Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. I had never heard of her until October, when she told a Jihad Watch reader that I would lose a debate with anyone “educated in the field,” and he suggested that she and I debate. I agreed to do so, […]
Obama makes Chuck Hagel the scapegoat for his foreign policy failures
Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that is Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Hagel may have sealed his […]
Muslima who called for burning of Robert Spencer book threatens legal action over Spencer quoting her
This morning I received an email from a woman named Sharissa who, several years ago, called for one of my books to be “torched” — whereupon I offered to see if she could get a bulk rate on multiple copies, which she could torch to her heart’s content. The email said: A few years ago […]

Karen Armstrong on Harris and Maher: “It fills me with despair, because this is the sort of talk that led to the concentration camps”
Remember all those Jewish terror plots? Jews shouting “Shema Yisrael” as they blew themselves up in crowds of non-Jews and flew planes into buildings? Remember those captured internal documents of Jewish organizations saying they were working toward “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” so that “the religion of Moses was victorious over other religions”? […]
Saudi Arabia’s plush rehab facility for jihadists a spectacular failure
“When Saudi police arrested 88 suspected Al-Qaeda operatives in September, they discovered that 59 of them had been through reform programs and were then released.” And yet the British are staking their nation’s future on a similar program, which will only ensure that Britain’s future will feature blood in the streets. “Passages Saudi Arabia: Plum […]
Peace Train to Nowhere: Profs on Israeli-Palestinian ‘Negotiations’

UK: 40 jihad terrorist plots foiled since July 7, 2005 jihad mass murders
Oddly enough, Theresa May’s policy of wholesale appeasement to Islamic supremacists doesn’t seem to be working. She and David Cameron have ruthlessly persecuted foes of jihad terror within Britain, and banned those from outside from entering. Yet they still get jihad — more and more of it. The ingratitude! “Home Secretary Theresa May reveals how […]
Nearly 18,000 people died in terrorist attacks in 2013 — 66% by Taliban, Boko Haram, al Qaeda, and the Islamic State
“Four groups – the Taliban, Boko Haram, al Qaeda, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which is also known as the Islamic State – accounted for 66 percent of all fatalities.” Those right-wing extremists! Something has got to be done! “Nearly 18,000 people died in terrorist attacks in 2013, new global report […]
Israel: Iran pact will only delay, not end, nuke program — contemplates military action
Israel may have to act unilaterally, simply in order to survive. This is Obama’s most spectacular betrayal (among many) of a U.S. ally. “Exclusive: Cornered but unbound by nuclear pact, Israel reconsiders military action against Iran,” by Michael Wilner, Jerusalem Post, November 22, 2014: WASHINGTON – Historic negotiations with Iran will reach an inflection point […]

Benghazi security team disputes House Intel Committee Report
“We were told to stand down. We were delayed for approximately 27 minutes on our compound. We do not know, as far as outside of our chain of command outside Libya, where that came from.” “Benghazi Annex Security Team Members Disagree Forcefully with House Intel Committee Report,” by Paula Bolyard, PJ Tatler, November 22, 2014: […]

“We have a Free Syrian Army and a moderate opposition that we have steadily been working with that we have vetted.” — Barack Obama, September 2014 What was he working with them for? To get them to fight the Islamic State. But now the U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State are being used by FSA […]
Muslim MP: 2,000 Muslims from UK fighting for Islamic State
The concept of the caliphate is what gives the Islamic State its appeal among young Muslims in the West, but Western authorities cannot acknowledge that, for it would suggest that the Islamic State has something to do with Islam. And so they lurch about in the darkness looking for alternate explanations. “Muslim MP: 2,000 Britons […]
UK: Muslims laugh in court as they’re accused of beheading plot
Why shouldn’t they laugh? As far as they’re concerned, they were attempting to do an act that was pleasing to Allah, and the British court proceedings are just an Infidel charade. “Terror Suspects Laugh in Court as they are Accused of Planning ‘Poppy Day Beheading,’” by Nick Hallett, Breitbart, November 21, 2014 (thanks to Pamela […]
