JIHAD WATCH 01/24/2014

“Eligo saw 105 people arrested on 190 separate charges and resulted in the closure of three major clandestine methamphetamine labs and Australia’s largest-ever urban hydroponic cannabis hothouse in Sydney last November.” Are the newly legal stoners in Colorado funding jihad as well? “Money-laundering ring funding Hezbollah cracked by Australian police,” from AFP, January 23 (thanks […]

We see it again and again and again: Islamic supremacists forever blaming non-Muslims for everything, including their own problems. Endless deflection of responsibility, endless finger-pointing, endless grievance-mongering, endless claiming of victim status. “Tasnim Chief: West Seeking to Sow Sectarian Strife among Muslims,” from the Tasnim News Agency, January 23: TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Tasnim News Agency […]

But surely only a Tiny Minority of Extremists support Hamas and Islamic Jihad, right? Surely the Vast Majority of Moderates rushed to her aid, didn’t they? “Female Palestinian cartoonist threatened after critique of Islamic Jihad, Hamas,” by Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post, January 23 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): [A] Palestinian cartoonist has […]

No surprise here. This is consistent with Obama’s foreign policy throughout his presidency. “Hook, line, and sinker,” by Tony Badran for Now, January 23: The Obama administration finally got what it wanted as the Geneva II conference kicked off yesterday with the stated purpose of joining together the Assad regime and the opposition in a […]

On this edition of my ABN Jihad Watch show, I interview Mark Tapson, a Hollywood-based writer and screenwriter and a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, on the depiction of Islam and Muslims in Hollywood feature films, and how it has been affected by 9/11 and the trumped-up hysteria over “Islamophobia.”

“Facilitators” are “actively involved in facilitating,” and the blinkered dhimmis who are entrusted with protecting Britain are alarmed. So they’re appealing to help from Muslim communities that are already helping them, for despite that existing help, they’re “desperate.” But this is destined to be an unsuccessful plea, for neither they nor the Muslim communities to […]

Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror. This is better than directly giving the money to al Qaeda and the Taliban, but it shows how seriously the Pakistani authorities take their role in the “war on terror”: not seriously at all. “Pakistan […]

We shouldn’t stay in Afghanistan for one single minute longer. It is a war with no objective, no definition of victory, no possibility of victory, no genuine native allies, and no purpose. It is a massive drain of human resources, money and materiel. It is unconscionable that it has gone on this long. It is […]

Adel Al Kalbani has served as imam of the al Haram mosque in Mecca, the mosque that surrounds the Kaaba. So he is not some fringe character. His prayers to curse her are yet another indication of the culture of violence inculcated by a religion that sanctions wife-beating (Qur’an 4:34), the killing of Infidels (Qur’an […]

When Pamela Geller and I ran ads showing the Sharia-based victimization of gays, clueless and compromised gay activists such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked us — not the Sharia brutality. As everyone knows, Phil Robertson is the real problem. American Leftists consistently ignore, excuse, downplay and deny Sharia oppression. “Protesters throw stones, disrupt […]

“What would induce the citizens of a prosperous and peaceful country to leave for an increasingly impoverished and violent living hell? Why would anyone exchange France for Syria?” The answer is clear: it is the call of jihad, the attraction of performing what many Muslims believe is the highest and best duty one can perform […]

Just imagine if the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan were in the United States. They wouldn’t be able to believe their good fortune. Christiane Amanpour, Niraj Warikoo, Bob Smietana, Kari Huus, and hordes of other mainstream media journalists would be battling each other to be the first to publish a glowing profile, a fawning interview, a thoughtful feature […]

“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013 “Fatah publicizes threats to bomb Tel Aviv on its […]
