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

Life in the Islamic State: “If you don’t convert to Islam we will kill your son”

Nov 27, 2016 9:27 am By Robert Spencer

“There is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256) but in practice, all too often Islamic supremacists find room in that phrase for all manner of coercion. What constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. After all, the institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be […]

Islamic State forces 1,500 families to retreat with them, abducts 295 Iraqi Security Forces

They will now be killed, enslaved, ransomed or freed outright. 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 […]

Islamic State jihadis “WILL unleash attacks on Europe as payback for Mosul”

Oct 26, 2016 6:53 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

A counter-terrorism expert warns that Europe should brace itself for more terror attacks once the Islamic State has been crushed in Mosul. The IS has been long threatening to attack America “at its heart” and has vowed to revenge on the West for its strikes in Syria through lone wolf attacks. The intense hatred jihadists […]

Iraq PM to Erdogan: get out of Iraq or face possibility of regional war

Oct 6, 2016 3:47 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

As the operation to free Mosul from the self-proclaimed caliphate approaches, the potential vacuum left after the Islamic State loses the city could lead to serious complications for the region. One who is poised to take advantage is Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has frequently been accused of wanting to establish his own caliphate, […]

Child in the Islamic State: “Oh black-eyed virgins, we will meet in Paradise…We implement the sharia”

Sep 23, 2016 7:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“And fair women with large eyes, the likenesses of pearls well-protected, as reward for what they used to do.” (Qur’an 56:22-24) What does one have to do to get them? The Qur’an offers one guarantee of Paradise: to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). For adolescent boys, this can be a powerful […]

Islamic State bans burqa for security reasons

Sep 6, 2016 12:01 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

UPDATE: This story turns out to have been Iranian disinformation. Our source below did not note the Iranian provenance of its information. ———- Well, the Islamic State has demonstrated that it is much smarter a group than Western leftists. They showed up every leftist supporter of the burqa by banning it for security reasons. Another […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Christians Are ‘Target Practice’: Muslim Persecution of Christians, May 2016

Aug 31, 2016 6:20 am By Raymond Ibrahim

[Originally published by the Gatestone Institute] More reports of the brutal treatment that Christians and other minorities experienced at the hands of the Islamic State (SIS) emerged during May. One account told of a couple who, after their children were abducted by ISIS militants, answered their door one day to find a plastic bag on their […]

Islamic State celebrates Nice jihad slaughter with beheadings

Jul 21, 2016 3:13 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Islamic State jihadists shed more blood to celebrate the Bastille Day massacre, and they videotaped it. The video, described as horridly gruesome — even by IS standards — incorporates music into its presentation. It shows badly wounded babies, followed by jihadists with serrated knives about to behead two terrified-looking captives in red, prison-like jumpsuits. They behead […]

Christians facing extinction in Iraq at the hands of jihadist warriors

Jul 5, 2016 7:52 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Christian population in Iraq has now diminished to an alarming 50,000 to 250,000, compared with 1.4 million in 2003. They were either massacred by jihadists or abducted. Christians have faced being forced to convert to Islam, pay a high living tax (jizya, mandated in the Qur’an) to the Islamic State, or abandon their ancestral […]

Jihadists kill their own relatives in Iraq but shove “Islamophobia” down our throats

Jun 19, 2016 11:08 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Westerners who have bought into the victimology subterfuge of the “Islamophobia” narrative seem to have a mental block about how far-reaching jihadist violence is and the magnitude of the devastation experienced by its real victims. Jihadist victimization includes terrorism against the West, threats to the State of Israel, persecution of Christians, severe abuse of women […]

Islamic State publicly flogs women for violating Sharia dress code

May 17, 2016 9:13 am By Robert Spencer

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “‘O Asma, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it does not suit her that she displays her parts of body except this and this,’ and he pointed to her face and hands.” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4092) “ISIS publicly flogging woman on charges of violating Sharia dress code,” by […]

The Islamic State blows up Mosul’s iconic Clock Church

This “Muslim-Catholic dialogue” is going great! Just look at how many churches it has saved from destruction — oh, wait… “ISIS blows up Mosul’s iconic Clock Church,” FoxNews.com, April 26, 2016 (thanks to Cecilia): Islamic State militants destroyed an iconic Iraqi church known for its soaring clock tower by blowing it up with explosives, media […]

Islamic State rocket attack kills US soldier in northern Iraq

Mar 19, 2016 11:59 am By Robert Spencer

The half-measures that Obama is pursuing against the Islamic State will never destroy it. The lives being lost there are being lost in pursuit of the cosmetic appearance of doing something, not in pursuit of genuinely damaging the Islamic State. “American soldier killed in ISIS rocket attack in northern Iraq, official says,” by Lucas Tomlinson, […]

Iraqi MP: Iraqi army doesn’t have “enough forces” to liberate areas of Iraq occupied by the Islamic State

The Islamic State will not be destroyed except by ground forces. Those who have them will not use them for this. Those who would use them for this do not have them. “Iraq runs out of money to take on Islamic State,” by Richard Spencer, Telegraph, March 13, 2016: Just as it is starting to […]

Islamic State stones four rape victims to death for “committing adultery”

Feb 14, 2016 6:01 pm By Robert Spencer

From the perspective of Islamic law, if they tempted men to rape them, they are at fault, and must be punished. The rape must also have been public, since four male Muslim witnesses are required to have witnessed the act in order to establish it in Sharia court (cf. Qur’an 24:4, 24:14). “ISIS extremists stone […]

Islamic State razes to ground 1,400-year-old Christian monastery

Jan 20, 2016 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

Why did this happen? Did someone at the monastery draw Muhammad? Did some Iraqi cleric provoke the poor dears, poking them in the eye in some way, and failing to show proper respect for Islam? As far as Western Christian leaders are concerned, the Christians of Iraq have no one but themselves to blame for […]

“The Cross is ISIS’ main enemy; today no trace of a Cross can be seen in Mosul”

Sep 26, 2015 9:46 am By Ralph Sidway

This story provides further proof — if any is still needed — of the Islamic religious roots and motivations of the Islamic State. The Cross is symbolic of Islam’s main enemy: Christianity. Under the terms of the dhimma contract and the Pact of Omar, Christians may not display the Cross openly, either on their buildings […]

Islamic State blows up another historic Christian church in Mosul

Jul 9, 2015 6:43 am By Robert Spencer

All the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” in which Christian leaders in the West so doggedly and naively engage, while silencing those who call attention to this kind of destruction and why it is happening, hasn’t done a thing to end or even slow down the rampant Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide. “4 killed as ISIS destroys another […]
