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

‘The Butterfly Effect’ – Obama, Climate Change, and Islam’s War against the World

Jun 1, 2015 7:41 pm By Ralph Sidway

If even the wings of a butterfly have weight and shared causality, then what of the teachings and example of a seventh century desert prophet?

Islamic State quotes Muhammad to justify punishing men who shave

Jun 1, 2015 4:46 am By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Men brace for ‘beard patrols’ in Iraq’s IS-held Mosul,” by Jean-Marc Mojon, AFP, June 1, 2015: Baghdad (AFP) – Every time he looks in a mirror, Laith Ahmed is worried. As of Monday, the young Iraqi’s hopelessly hairless chin could land him in an Islamic State […]

Moderate Dubai court jails man for insulting Islam on Facebook

May 28, 2015 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

They must be moderates, for if they were “extremists,” they would have sentenced him to beheading. In any case, this same “moderation” is coming to the U.S., as authorities of all sorts counsel submission to those who proclaim that they will kill us for what they perceive as insults to Islam. Those authorities mask their […]

Islamic State destroys Christian graves in Mosul, quotes Muhammad to support doing so

Apr 17, 2015 9:50 am By Robert Spencer

They quote a hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as saying “that you not leave an elevated grave without levelling it, nor an image without erasing it.” They are, then, acting in accord with his words when they commit these acts of savagery. Will “moderate” spokesmen in the West explain how they’re misunderstanding Muhammad here? […]

Islamic State justifies using child executioners by invoking Muhammad’s example

Mar 31, 2015 5:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Will one of the Muslim groups that has denounced the Islamic State kindly explain how the Islamic State is misrepresenting Muhammad’s example here, and why it is wrong on Islamic grounds to use children as jihadi executioners? I thought not. “Islamic State’s Propaganda Magazine Justifies Use Of Child Executioners,” by Joanna Paraszczuk, Radio Free Europe/Radio […]

Middle East Quarterly: Robert Spencer reviews Kecia Ali’s “The Lives of Muhammad”

Mar 27, 2015 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

More of the politically correct obfuscation that academics pump out by the gallon these days. “The Lives of Muhammad by Kecia Ali, Reviewed by Robert Spencer,” Middle East Quarterly, Spring 2015: Ali’s work evaluates and compares biographies of Muhammad, ancient and modern, favorable and unfavorable, arguing that the emphases of these life histories reflect the […]

Robert Spencer in the Daily Caller: Is The Islamic State Islamic? Of Course It Is

Mar 16, 2015 12:53 pm By Robert Spencer

In the Daily Caller today I discuss the ongoing and stupid controversy over whether or not the Islamic State is Islamic. Is the Islamic State (ISIS) Islamic? The question would be on the order of “Is the Pope Catholic?” were it not for the fact that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, David Cameron, and […]

UK: 27% of Muslims have “some sympathy for the motives behind the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris”

Feb 25, 2015 2:12 pm By Robert Spencer

These polls are of only limited value, as people generally tell pollsters what they want to hear. In light of that, the fact that 27% of Muslims in Britain openly acknowledged sympathy for the Charlie Hebdo jihad attacks is remarkable — but not surprising in light of the fact that we saw huge numbers of […]

Saudi Arabia: Man sentenced to death for insulting Islam, ripping Qur’an

Feb 23, 2015 9:22 pm By Robert Spencer

In the enlightened West, we don’t have blasphemy laws. If someone expresses what Leftists and Islamic supremacists think of as insulting Islam here, the only thing that happens is that you’re excoriated as a racist and bigot, and shunned by all decent folk. Clearly a much more progressive way of doing things. Anyway, will any […]

Denmark: 3 cops shot at blasphemy debate featuring Muhammad cartoonist, one person killed

Feb 14, 2015 11:23 am By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: One person is dead. On this day in 1989, the Iranian regime first published its death fatwa on Salman Rushdie, and the West responded with robust defenses of the freedom of speech. Now Muslims are killing people in the West over Sharia blasphemy laws, and the Western authorities are rushing to censor themselves and […]

Islamic State fatwa points to Muhammad to justify burning pilot

Feb 6, 2015 9:56 am By Raymond Ibrahim

[Via RaymondIbrahim.com] Once again, the Islamic State (IS) performs an atrocity that boggles the Western mind, and once again the Islamic State points to its namesake—Islam—to justify its depravity. IS has just released a video showing captive Jordanian pilot Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh in a cage being burned alive (image above).  It also posted a fatwa on […]

Pakistan: Muslims demand murder of Charlie Hebdo staff for committing “worst act of terrorism” by drawing Muhammad

Jan 15, 2015 1:02 pm By Robert Spencer

This is one side of the assault on the freedom of speech, which is the foundation of a free society. The other side are the cool, measured calls from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation for the criminalization of “incitement to religious hatred” and the like. The goal is the same for both initiatives: to intimidate […]

“If someone offends the prophet then there is no problem, we can kill him”

Jan 10, 2015 10:12 am By Robert Spencer

“Whoever curses a Prophet, kill him. Whoever curses my Companions, beat him.” — Muhammad Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad bin Maslama, answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, […]

India Muslim leader: “Why are you linking terrorism with Islam? Islam and Prophet Muhammad came to finish off terrorism”

Jan 5, 2015 5:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad said: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4:52.220). The Qur’an says: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60) The people responsible for the linking of Islam with terrorism […]

Punjab chief: Pakistan can solve terror problem by imitating Muhammad

Uswa-e-Hasna is excellent example or pattern: “There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often.” (Qur’an 33:21) The idea is that Muhammad is the excellent example of behavior for Muslims; if someone imitates him, he […]

Salon: “No proof that Jesus even existed”; Muhammad’s existence “established beyond the shadow of a doubt”

Dec 24, 2014 2:14 pm By Robert Spencer

In October, Jeffrey Tayler wrote in Salon that the Qur’an “backs up jihad, suicide attacks (“martyrdom”), beheadings, even taking captive women as sex slaves.” This was singular for Salon, which usually whitewashes the truth about Islam and jihad and excoriates those who expose it as “racists” and “bigots,” but now it is clear why Tayler […]

The Perpetuity of Jihad

Dec 14, 2014 7:28 am By Robert Spencer

The Perpetuity of Jihad by Michael Devolin “Though tempered and qualified in different places and at different times, the Islamic longing for unfettered suzerainty has never disappeared, and has resurfaced in our own day with a vengeance.” – Efraim Karsh, from Islamic Imperialism, a history   Reading about ISIS in the newspapers every day is, […]
