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

UK: Muslim received over $12,000 in welfare benefits while beheading 100 people for the Islamic State in Syria

Sep 1, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“As the terrorist had been living in Birmingham, he allegedly claimed thousands of pounds in housing and council tax benefits from Birmingham City Council. After they left Birmingham, their former landlord told the council that the pair were no longer living at his property. But no one at the authority or the Department for Work […]

UK: Muslim supermarket security guard joins the Islamic State, blows himself up in Syria

Aug 19, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

When Omar Hussein was hired at Morrisons, was he questioned as to his views regarding jihad violence? Of course not. That would have been “Islamophobic.” But what if a Muslim had shown up at the Morrisons where Omar Hussein worked who shared his views on Britain? Hussein said: “I hate the UK, the only reason […]

Germany: Woman converts to Islam, tries to recruit women to marry ISIS jihadis so they can enter the country

Oct 18, 2018 11:06 am By Robert Spencer

Marcia M. is one of the steady stream of converts to Islam who somehow get the idea that their new religion calls them to commit treason and mass murder. Authorities remain, as always, resolutely uninterested in this recurring phenomenon. “German intelligence foiled 2016 Islamic State terror attack,” DW, October 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion […]

UN report: “ISIS is back” and prepared for “war”

Aug 15, 2018 7:55 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

According to an alarming UN report, “ISIS is back…regaining strength….ready for war” and has “gathered 30,000 fighters and could be preparing for a wave of offensives around the world”. This comes as no surprise to those who understand the reality of jihad terror. Meanwhile Al-Qaeda also remains dangerous, with powerful franchises in Yemen, Somalia and […]

UK: Muslim kids as young as 2, back from Syria and obsessed with guns, killing and anti-West hatred

Mar 27, 2018 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

British children as young as two have been taken to war zones, becoming obsessed with guns and “shooting people”, and indoctrinated into terrorist ideology and hating the West, court papers show. The disturbed Muslim children, some radicalised in the UK and others returning from Syria and Iraq, were exposed in an investigation… As horrifying and […]

UK: Rich, Porsche-driving Muslim barrister gives it all up to join the Islamic State in Syria

Oct 8, 2017 11:08 am By Robert Spencer

The idea that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism has led the U.S. to shower billions on Muslim countries, hoping to win hearts and minds and alleviate what mainstream analysts doggedly believe are the root causes of terrorism. But it has been known for years that poverty doesn’t really cause terrorism at all. The Economist reported in […]

ISIS bride explains why she joined the group: “I came for the Jihad, for Sharia and the Islamic State”

Sep 29, 2017 4:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Another head-scratcher for those who insist that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam or Sharia, and that those who joined it knew little and cared less about Islam. “‘I Came for the Jihad’: Women Tell of Life in the Islamic State,” by Sara Manisera, Newsdeeply.com, September 29, 2017: Khadija al-Humri came to […]

ISIS to Trump: “You have your eyes on Raqqa and Mosul, but we have our eyes on Constantinople and Rome”

Jul 31, 2017 4:37 pm By Robert Spencer

You might think that Constantinople has already been conquered for Islam, but the Islamic State jihadis believe that no land is truly Islamic until it obeys their caliph. And they called it Constantinople because it is called that in ancient Islamic prophecy. “Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad that Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As (may God […]

Route from Islamic State’s capital of Raqqa dotted with discarded women’s veils

May 5, 2017 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

In the U.S. we’re constantly inundated with spurious claims that women who wear hijabs are routinely harassed and discriminated against, and that Muslim women who wear the hijab or niqab are doing so by choice. We’re constantly reminded that we must support that choice or be charged with “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” Great. But what about […]

Islamic State bans soccer referees because they implement Fifa rules “in violation of the commands of Allah”

Sep 1, 2016 5:46 pm By Robert Spencer

“Local sources told SOHR militants told football organisers referees would be banned because their decisions ‘do not judge according to what Allah has revealed’ and are ‘a violation of Allah’s command and the Sunnah.’” One might almost get the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam. Good thing we have […]

Islamic State beheads 4 soccer players after declaring the sport un-Islamic

Jul 9, 2016 4:59 am By Robert Spencer

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]

Islamic State beheads men for “mocking Islam,” “pledging allegiance to infidels”

Jul 4, 2016 10:59 am By Robert Spencer

Breitbart has numerous photos that are extraordinarily gory and graphic. It must be remembered that the Islamic State jihadis know that these photos are horrifying and revolting. They do not, however, think they will damage their standing among the Muslims to whom they are trying to appeal; quite the contrary. This is because the Qur’an […]

Nothing to be concerned about. The Pentagon assures us they’re losing, and they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? “ISIS Expels Syria Regime Forces From Raqqa Province,” AFP, June 21, 2016: (AFP) — ISIS expelled Syrian regime troops Monday from the northern province of Raqqa in a lightning counter-offensive that killed 40 regime forces, […]

The Pentagon and the establishment analysts keep telling us that the Islamic State is losing. There are just a few inconvenient facts that need to be ignored in order to establish that. “ISIS seizes Syria villages from US-backed fighters: activists,” Agence France Presse, June 20, 2016: BEIRUT: ISIS launched a surprise assault Monday near its […]

Islamic State crucifies man for collaborating with the “Crusader coalition”

May 16, 2016 8:32 am By Robert Spencer

“Crucifixion is mentioned in the Quran as a punishment to those who wish to corrupt the land and its inhabitants. It’s not a cruel punishment. It’s entirely in keeping with Islam.” That’s true: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that […]

Islamic State executes eight people, crucifies their dead bodies

Apr 4, 2016 7:19 pm By Robert Spencer

This is not “extremist.” Crucifying people who “fight against Allah and his messenger and hasten about the earth to do corruption” is prescribed in the Qur’an: “This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or […]

The Islamic State forbids remaining Christians from leaving Raqqa

Mar 31, 2016 3:40 pm By Robert Spencer

“Christians were contractually obliged to pay the jizya, or minority tax, which in Islamic Sharia law is the amount of money paid by non-Muslims or ‘dhimmis’ in exchange for protection.” That is straight from the Qur’an: “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His […]

Islamic State preaches Qur’an to Christians after collecting Qur’anic tax on non-Muslims

How dare the Islamic State collect the jizya from Christians! Don’t they know there’s a Muslim-Christian dialogue going on? When is the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops going to send one of the bishops over to Raqqa to explain to the Islamic State leaders how they’re misunderstanding their religion, and that it is peaceful at […]

Islamic State jihadi executes his mother

Jan 8, 2016 10:00 am By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State considers itself to be the caliphate, the sole legitimate government to which Muslims owe allegiance. So wanting to leave it is tantamount to opposing Allah and Muhammad. “There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘Indeed, we are disassociated […]

According to Arabic media, the Islamic State has “arrested, if not executed, some youth [five] in the city of Raqqa [in Syria] for befriending and greeting Christians on the occasion of Christmas.” ISIS reportedly told the five youth that “they are being detained after an investigation [including through their personal computers] found that they greeted […]
