These
synagogues are not active, but are preserved as Egyptian heritage
sites. However, given the virulence of Islamic antisemitism, the
visceral hatred against those whom the Qur’an designates as “the most
intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82), they’re
still targets for Islamic jihadists. “‘Islamist groups planned to
attack Egyptian synagogues,’” from […]

Note
how similar al-Zawahiri’s rhetoric here is to “Palestinian” jihadist
rhetoric retailing grievances against Israel and claiming that Muslims
are being massacred, etc. In the absence of a caliph, all jihad activity
has to be cast as defensive, because in Sunni Islam only the caliph has
the authority to declare offensive jihad. Thus the same […]

“There
is no compulsion in religion” (Qur’an 2:256) but in practice, all too
often Islamic supremacists find room in that phrase for all manner of
coercion. What constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder.
After all, the institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its
regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be […]

Pamela
Geller is spot on: “Where are the left wing, the gay and LGBT
organizations denouncing the Islamic texts that inspire such mayhem and
murder of gays? Where is that fierce gay leadership condemning Muslim
oppression of gays under the sharia? Where are those brave activists who
rushed to condemn me when I ran an […]

In
“Being Reza Aslan” in Al-Ahram Weekly, February 15, Ati Metwaly, amid
torrents of praise for his subject, actually dares to criticize him — an
extremely rare experience for this arrogant, foul-mouthed
PC-media-created puffball, and one that probably has Aslan bombarding
Metwaly with profane emails full of adolescent abuse today: Aslan
continuously entwines religion with […]

This
article, like most about honor killings, never once mentions Islam.
This steadfast and universal refusal to identify the root cause of honor
murders only ensures that there will be more of them. Muslims commit 91
percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified
as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by […]

Clearly
there are elements within the Somali government that support the
jihadis, and that is no surprise, since what the jihadis believe is not a
“twisting” and “hijacking” of Islam’s true, peaceful teachings, but an
understanding of Islam that is derived from a close reading of the
Qur’an and Hadith, and that boasts of its […]

This
has to be one of the stupidest rulings a court has ever issued, even in
Insane Britannia. These three Muslims who terrorized passersby into
being Sharia-compliant cannot distribute material about Sharia in
public, even outside a mosque (gasp!), for five years. That’s it! So
apparently it is just fine if they start agitating to […]

On my Jihad Watch segment on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show Thursday
night, Michael and I discussed the transfer of Canadian jihadist Omar
Khadr to a minimum-security prison and the British Muslims who laughed
and joked about the jihad murder of British soldier Lee Rigby. Video

Actually,
the rally was against that formidable manifestation of jahiliyya,
ignorance, and “Islamophobia” known as Valentine’s Day. At least these
Islamic supremacists in Gaza did not turn violent, as the
anti-Valentine’s Day morality enforcers did in Pakistan; however, there
is always a whiff of menace when Islamic supremacists protest anywhere,
because they are violent so […]

As
far as the mainstream media is concerned, Christians in the Central
African Republic are gratuitously targeting innocent Muslims. This
story, however, will get little play. And they never mention how Muslims
murdered 1,000 Christians over a two-day period. Or how 450,000
Christians fled their homes in the face of Muslim attacks. All that is
[…]
