JIHAD WATCH 07/03/2014

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 […]
