“The
incident followed several high-profile attacks blamed on militants in
Xinjiang, the traditional home of the Uyghurs who complain they have
long suffered ethnic discrimination, oppressive religious controls, and
continued poverty and joblessness.” Mainstream media outlets that retail
uncritically jihadists’ list of grievances don’t realize that these
grievances are merely pretexts to justify jihad in […]

This
clown’s Twitter account is still active. Twitter only seems interested
in closing the accounts of those who oppose jihad terror. But anyway,
here again we see a convert to Islam turn against his nation and people,
and cheer on their subjugation. Which mosques in the U.S. are teaching
against the idea that Islamic law […]

But
British authorities need not be concerned: his mosque insists that he
must have been “radicalized” on the Internet, since they are as
“moderate” as the day is long. And remember: to investigate any further
would be “Islamophobic.” “A lethal new class of British jihadi: Second
fanatic in ISIS recruitment video went to same Cardiff […]

“It
is understood that attempts are being made by British counter-terrorism
units to place AY under renewed round-the-clock surveillance. But,
without the legislative framework of a TPIM in place to support such an
operation, it is thought their efforts are being undermined by budgetary
constraints and issues surrounding his human rights.” Well, they’re
cutting the […]

On
my regular weekly Jihad Watch segment on Michael’s Sun TV program, we
discussed the jihad in Iraq and the Obama Administration’s naivete
regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. Video thanks to AlohaSnackbar01.

It’s
astonishing that the British government would take this step at a time
when concern about jihadis returning from Syria and Iraq to wage jihad
in Britain is at its height. But perhaps the Islamic supremacist
pressure groups that wield so much influence with the British government
have convinced British officials that a high counter-terrorism […]

At
PJ Media I examine some of the numerous indications that ISIS is hoping
to strike inside the U.S. soon: The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) doesn’t have designs on just Iraq and Syria. It has published
maps in which its envisioned Islamic state encompasses not just those
two countries, but also Kuwait, […]

How
did these two brilliant brothers get “brainwashed”? Did the
“brainwashers” appeal to the Qur’an and Sunnah? That is a prospect that,
even after all these developments regarding jihadis in Syria, British
authorities are not prepared to face. An update on this story. “The
brilliant brothers who left British suburb for jihad in Syria,” by […]

The
New York Times was so sure that Captain Zaharie was pure as the driven
snow that they published a piece by Robert Mackey exonerating him and
falsely claiming that I had said he was a suicide bomber. They glossed
over the Muslim Brotherhood links of Malaysian opposition leader Anwar
Ibrahim, of whom Zaharie was […]

Meanwhile,
the followers of Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr marched through Iraqi
cities as a show of force. As the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad escalates, it
should be obvious to everyone (but isn’t) that to intervene on either
side would be to aid a group that hates the U.S. and wants to destroy
it. “Sunni jihadists capture 3 […]

Here
is yet more indication that the idea that poverty causes terrorism,
albeit universally accepted, is a myth. The Economist reported back in
December 2010: The ranks of high-profile terrorism suspects also boast
plenty of middle-class, well-educated people. The would-be Times Square
bomber, Faisal Shehzad, boasts an MBA and is the son of a senior […]

Muhammad
commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him”
(Bukhari 9.84.57). Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and
prominent Muslim cleric in the world, has stated: “The Muslim jurists
are unanimous that apostates must be punished, yet they differ as to
determining the kind of punishment to be inflicted upon them. The
majority of […]

Boko
Haram, the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and
Jihad, continues to act with impunity in Nigeria, basing everything they
do on Islamic texts and teachings, while in the West Islamic spokesmen
assure us that what they do has nothing to do with Islam. The cognitive
dissonance is never explained by […]

“On
the morning of 21 June, a group of thugs drove a car into a police
building in Yecheng County, Kashgar province and detonated explosives.”
Once again the mainstream media treats such a report with skepticism.
But why is it so hard to believe when it is happening in so many other
places around the […]

The
principle is very simple: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s
behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must
conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. “Vive Le Vibrancy! In
France Muslims Will Assault You For Eating A Ham Sandwich,” Blazing Cat
Fur, June 19, 2014: NB – Google Translate – The case seems […]

This
is the future of Britain, courtesy David Cameron, Gordon Brown, Tony
Blair, Theresa May, Jacqui Smith, Jack Straw et al. There will be more
Sunni-Shi’ite violence on British streets, and more jihad violence in
general, because of them and their feckless and short-sighted policies.

“AINA
cannot confirm the authenticity of this document.” Indeed. But this
sounds much like many reports that were coming out of Syria last year.

2014: (AINA) — On June 12, only two day after capturing Mosul and other

Where
did Rahatal Ashikim Khan and Michael Todd Wolfe (Muslim name, as is
characteristic of the mainstream media, not given) learn about Islam?
Were they active in their local mosque? Does anyone know? Does anyone
care? An update on this story. “Grand jury indicts Austin-area men
accused of terrorism,” by Andrew McLemore, Austin American-Statesman,

“Fight
those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that
forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor
acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of
the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel
themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29 […]

He
might be right about the Sunnis of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,
whom he terms “takfiris” — that is, Muslims who declare other Muslims
to be infidels. But he is certainly incorrect about the U.S., which is
so far from trying to create a war in the Muslim world that it is […]
