A previous Jihad Watch article detailed the inadequacies as a counter-jihad tool of the Abdullah X online animated series produced by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD). Such failings are part of a wider pattern of ideological incoherence at interrelated Anglo-American “counter-extremism” think tanks such as ISD and Quilliam, which have undeserved reputations for effectively […]
Reforming Islam
William Henry Quilliam was born on 10th April 1856 to a wealthy family in Liverpool. He was brought up as a Methodist and converted to Islam in 1887 after visiting Morocco. Quilliam opened Britain’s first mosque, on Christmas Day 1889, with funding he received from Nasrullah Khan, Crown Prince of Afghanistan. He changed his name […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Sharia UK: Two Arrested for Burning Qur’ans
Yes, 29 people were killed in recent jihad attacks, but…burnt Qur’ans! My latest in FrontPage: The UK’s Mailonline reported the horrifying news Thursday: “Police have arrested two people on suspicion of racial hatred after a video appeared online showing a man burning a copy of the Koran.” Well, that’s a relief. The British police are […]
Quilliam’s “Former Extremist” Adam Deen Still Supports the Jihad Against Israel
Last week, Tommy Robinson and Rebel Media challenged Quilliam after one of their researchers wrote an article in the Guardian. The inescapable conclusion that reasonable people would draw from Julia Ebner’s article, “The far right thrives on global networks. They must be fought online and off” is that Tommy Robinson is a far-right extremist and even a […]
Quilliam’s Julia Ebner says Robert Spencer is Alt-Right: Where’s the evidence?
I don’t know Simon Harris, but this video is well done, and I thank him for it. The article of mine from which Harris reads in this video is here; sometimes it’s a bit difficult to tell whether he is quoting Ebner or me, so you can refer to that for reference. Meanwhile, I have […]
Quilliam’s article in the Guardian is massive smear of Tommy Robinson and the entire counter-jihad movement
Robert Spencer has already written an excellent rebuttal of an article by a Quilliam researcher which appeared in the Guardian which smeared a number of leading counter-jihad people. This has received huge attention because Tommy Robinson, with Rebel Media, went to Quilliam’s offices to confront Julia Ebner in person. This article (first posted on Tundra Tabloids) […]
Quilliam Foundation smears Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller as “alt-right leaders”
Julia Ebner is a senior researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, which is supposedly dedicated to countering “extremism” and defending human rights. Quilliam is supposed to be an exponent of moderate Islam, but there are some anomalies. It is named for Abdullah Quilliam (1856-1932), who rather than being “moderate” himself, called for a worldwide caliphate under […]
UK Muslims decry “the continued public targeting of Muslims through endless ‘anti-terror’ laws”
“We reject the portrayal of Muslims and the Muslim community as a security threat.” They don’t want anti-terror laws. What will be the result of not having anti-terror laws? More jihad terror. Note also that “Dilly Hussain, a spokesman for the group, said the list of 62 signatories included moderate Islamic thinkers alongside names he […]
