As
is the mainstream media’s near-universal practice, Shannon Maureen
Conley’s Muslim name is not given in this story. But she appears to be a
convert to Islam who wanted to go overseas and wage jihad against the
kuffar. She also hates Israel. Where did she get this understanding of
Islam? Once again, neither law enforcement […]

You
see, the imperative is for you to accept the hegemony of Islamic law.
Either you will do so by becoming a Muslim, or by submitting to the
overlordship of the Muslims and conforming your behavior to suit their
sensitivities. There is no one on earth who is exempt from this
imperative, and it will […]

Years
ago, I was speaking at some university — University of
Wisconsin-Madison if I recall correctly — and a Muslim in the audience
asked me what qualifications I had to discuss the texts and teachings of
Islam. I responded, “I can read.” And so I chuckled watching David
Wood’s brilliant explanation here of why reading […]

As
is typical of mainstream media reports, this report doesn’t mention
that Parvez Ahmed is the former national Board chairman of the
Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). In any case,
it would be refreshing if Beth Reese Cravey had asked Ahmed to explain
his statement that the Islamic State’s caliphate is “a silly utopian […]

In
FrontPage today I discuss why the Islamic State’s declaration of a
restored caliphate is significant: The Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIL) has declared itself a caliphate, renamed The Islamic
State, and named its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the caliph, and
demanded that all Muslims worldwide pledge allegiance to him.
Al-Baghdadi has […]

“We
will bring back the caliphate, and if God does not make it our fate to
restore the caliphate, then we ask him to grant us martyrdom.” Sounds
like a plan. “Chechen in Syria a rising star in extremist group,” by
Bassem Mroue, Associated Press, July 2, 2014: BEIRUT (AP) — A young,
red-bearded ethnic […]

I
posted the full statement from al-Baghdadi here yesterday, but this
aspect of it is worth noting separately: Rome, as the leading global
center of Christianity, has long been a focus of jihadist aspirations.
“Imam Ahmad reported in his Musnad that Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As
(may God be pleased with him) reports, Whilst we were […]

“The
inability of the military to curb attacks has brought international
criticism, with the United Nations noting the government is failing in
its duty to protect citizens.” But with Nigerian generals aiding and
arming Boko Haram, the inability of the military to stop the jihadis
becomes clearer. “Car bombing kills 56 people in Nigeria market,” […]

Yet
another Muslim in the U.S. trying to come to the aid of violent
jihadis. Yet there is still nary a program anywhere in the U.S. to
convince Muslims that this understanding of Islam that Muslim
organizations in the U.S. ostensibly reject is wrong. No authorities
seem concerned about that, however, or even raise the […]

“And
kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they
have expelled you,” says the Qur’an (2:191), and so Islamic holds that
any land that was once governed under Islamic law belongs by right to
Muslims forever. The imperative to reconquer and re-Islamize Spain
springs from the same Islamic wellsprings as the […]

Kaplan
“said the jihadists were nothing to worry about and were similar to
Swedish freedom fighters who joined the Finns in World War Two to fight
the Soviets.” This is after security agencies in nearly every country in
the West have expressed concern about trained, battle-hardened jihadis
returning from Syria and Iraq to wage jihad […]

If
her family succeeds in proving that she was once a Muslim, she will
almost certainly be killed, as per Islamic law’s death penalty for
apostates. Why would her family want that fate for her? Because Islam is
paramount over all other loyalties and affections. The Qur’an’s 60th
chapter depicts Abraham telling his pagan family […]

We
all know, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia,” that what Aseel Muthana
is doing has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. Why, however, does no
one ever bother to explain why he thinks it does? Why is Islam clearly
central to this young man’s motives and goals? How did he come to
misunderstand it […]
