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

Pakistan: Taliban continues campaign against the alarming spectre of educated women

Dec 23, 2009 6:22 am By Marisol Seibold

Threatened by girls with books. “Taliban blow up Pakistan girls school: official,” from Agence France-Presse, December 23: PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – The Taliban blew up a girls’ school in Pakistan’s Khyber district, where troops are fighting against militants in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan, an official said Wednesday. Militants detonated explosives overnight at the government-run […]

“Friend and Ally” Pakistan refuses to go after major Taliban figure

Dec 23, 2009 1:07 am By Marisol Seibold

“American intelligence officials suspect Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence military spy agency uses [Siraj Haqqani] for its interests in Afghanistan.” A particularly obvious example of Pakistan’s ongoing double game. “Pakistan nixes going after Taliban,” from UPI, December 22: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 22 (UPI) — U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration has spared no effort to publicly laud the […]

“The murder of a Muslim is in fact the killing of all humanity”

Dec 14, 2009 12:59 am By Robert Spencer

Here is an interesting spin on the favorite Qur’an verse of George W. Bush and so many other Western non-Muslims, 5:32, which says that killing an innocent person is like killing all of humanity. Qazi Hussain Ahmed here matter-of-factly equates “innocent people” with “Muslims,” rendering the verse as “the murder of a Muslim is in […]

Christian extremists blow up girls’ school — no, wait…

Dec 14, 2009 12:22 am By Robert Spencer

Everybody knows that Christianity is just as likely as Islam to inspire murderous violence in its adherents. Someday everybody will get some evidence to support this. The point is not really about Christianity or moral equivalence at all. It is about the continued evasion and refusal to confront the doctrine and ideology behind this kind […]

Northern Virginia Muslims in Pakistan: “We are here for jihad”

Dec 11, 2009 9:56 am By Robert Spencer

Zamzam made a video quoting Koran verses. Authorities are baffled as to what could have radicalized him! “N.Va. men allegedly tried to join jihadists: Group e-mailed extremists but was rejected, Pakistan says,” by Jerry Markon and Shaiq Hussain for the Washington Post, December 11 (thanks to Benedict): Five men from Northern Virginia who were arrested […]

Dec 10, 2009 6:20 am By Robert Spencer

Why would they travel all the way to Pakistan for an interior spiritual struggle? More on this story. “Pakistan questions Americans suspected of jihad wish,” by Zeeshan Haider for Reuters, December 10 (thanks to James): ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – Five young Americans were being questioned in Pakistan on Thursday on suspicion they wanted to join “holy […]

Five Washington, D.C.-area Muslims arrested in Pakistan for jihad activity

Dec 9, 2009 9:28 am By Robert Spencer

Misunderstanding Islam on a global scale. “Breaking News: Pakistan Reportedly Detains Five D.C.-Area Muslims on Suspicion of Terror,” from IPT News, December 8, updated December 9 (thanks to Axel): A Pakistani newspaper reports the arrest of five foreign nationals after a raid in a town called Sargodha. The raid took place at the home of […]

Progress: Jihadis dynamite schools in NW Pakistan

Dec 9, 2009 1:10 am By Robert Spencer

If the books agree with the Koran, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical. “Taliban dynamite schools in NW Pakistan: official,” from AFP, December 9 (thanks to James): PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – Taliban militants on Wednesday dynamited two boys’ schools in Pakistan’s Khyber district, where troops are pressing an offensive against […]

Chicago jihadist “thought that Islam was the greatest thing since sliced bread”

Dec 8, 2009 11:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Interestingly enough, his half-brother is a public relations officer for Pakistan’s prime minister. Headley seems to be quite devout, and yet somehow seems to have misunderstood Islam thoroughly, somehow getting the idea that jihad terror and mass murder in Mumbai would please Allah. And none of the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims seem to have […]

Jihadists kill 63, wound 190 with bombs in Pakistan

Dec 8, 2009 3:31 am By Robert Spencer

“The attacks showed the wide reach of militant attacks in the Pakistani heartland, far from the troubled and lawless border region with Afghanistan.” Now, how is it that they’re able to have such a wide reach? Could it be because their ideology resonates with that of large numbers of Pakistanis, so that their activities are […]

Christian extremists storm mosque, kill 35 during prayers — no, wait…

Dec 4, 2009 6:08 am By Robert Spencer

Islam forbids Muslims to kill other Muslims intentionally (cf. Koran 4:92), but the attackers here no doubt saw their victims as apostates or hypocrites, because of their connection with the U.S.-supported Pakistani army. “35 killed in mosque suicide attack,” from Dublin’s Independent, December 4 (thanks to Twostellas): Suicide attackers have stormed a mosque close to […]

Pakistani Christians: Will Saudis allow construction of cathedrals to challenge Swiss ban on minarets?

Nov 30, 2009 6:58 pm By Robert Spencer

While the world waxes indignant over the Swiss minaret ban, it is useful to put things into perspective. In Egypt, Christians are persecuted. In Pakistan, construction of new churches is severely restricted. In Saudi Arabia, it isn’t allowed at all. So why is a ban on minarets — not on mosques — so much more […]

Pakistani Muslims beat Sikh, threaten him “to convert to Islam if he wanted to live in Pakistan”

Nov 29, 2009 5:34 pm By Marisol Seibold

Islamic Tolerance Alert. While the article does not elaborate, the fact that he was apparently active in some capacity as an advocate for the Sikh community — and thus an undesirably uppity dhimmi — likely singled him out to be targeted as an example to others. “Pak Sikh thrashed for not converting,” by Yudhvir Rana […]

Taliban trying to destroy Buddhist art

Nov 27, 2009 6:35 am By Robert Spencer

Imperiled Islam, of course, forbids representational art. And we all saw what happened to the Buddhas of Bamiyan. More on this story. “Taliban trying to destroy Buddhist art from the Gandhara period,” from Asia News, November 27 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Islamabad (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Pakistani and foreign archaeologists have set off the alarm bell, warning […]

Taliban attempt to erase Pakistan’s Buddhist heritage

Nov 22, 2009 7:46 am By Marisol Seibold

Cultural genocide is a consequence of jihadist warfare, as the supremacist impulse to impose Islamic law cannot tolerate any competition, especially from the non-Islamic past, or time of jahiliyyah. Ensuring submission requires extinguishing a populace’s attachment to — or curiosity about — its prior existence, unless it can be subsumed in a narrative leading inevitably […]

Peshawar: Another day, another bombing

Nov 16, 2009 4:54 am By Marisol Seibold

This string of attacks has focused significantly on law enforcement in various forms, targeting the government’s ability to protect its citizens, and striking at symbols of insufficiently Islamic law. “Four killed, 31 injured in Peshawar suicide bombing,” from the Press Trust of India, November 16: Islamabad/ Peshawar: A suicide bomber today rammed his explosives-laden truck […]
