Clearly, Muslims in Australia are working from the same playbook that
Muslims in the U.S. are using: claims that anti-terror measures unfairly
target Muslims and were the real problem, complaints about the freedom
of speech, exaggerated claims of victimhood, etc. Who is coordinating
all this? In any case, it is good to see that at […]

Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him”
(Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law
according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Yet Muslim
spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M.
Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us
that Islam […]

If they’re angry about the coverage they’re getting, perhaps we should
send some of our large coterie of pro-jihad journalists over to the
Islamic State. Christiane Amanpour, Spencer Ackerman, Niraj Warikoo,
Jennifer Fermino, Corinne Lestch, Bob Smietana — what a wonderful time
they would have, and we would be treated to a series of puff […]

“Islam is a religion of peace and soundness, not a religion that
creates terror between people.” Oh, good. Glad he cleared that up. All
those Muslims creating terror among non-Muslims — the Islamic State,
al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, and all the rest? Pay no attention! Islam
is a religion of peace and soundness! “Turkey’s Deputy […]

There is no free press in the U.S. Since the Islamic State began to
make headlines, there has not a single article about how Muslims are
instituting programs to convince young Muslims that the Islamic State’s
understanding of Islam is wrong. There has not been a single rally of
any significant size of Muslims against […]

[Originally published by Gatestone Institute via RaymondIbrahim.com] “I
consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things”—Philippians
3:8 When St. Paul wrote the above in his letter to the Christians of
Philippi, he and the early church were being persecuted (Paul was

General Martin Dempsey pointed out that Israel had gone to
“extraordinary lengths” to avoid civilian casualties among the
“Palestinians.” Instead of agreeing with him or just letting it pass
without comment, the State Department’s Jen Psaki actually contradicted
Dempsey. As Pamela Geller points out, “Gen. Dempsey’s opinion echoes
another authoritative opinion by British Colonel Richard […]

This controversy has largely died down now, and this article is five
days old, but it is worth noting again because of the final line of the
article: “‘To them,’ Takruri said, ‘it’s clearly a matter of silencing
hate speech, not free speech.'” This free speech/hate speech distinction
is increasingly common. I encountered it last […]

“His only intention was to help the Muslim population. He genuinely
does not believe he has done anything wrong.” Why should he? He was
waging jihad for the sake of Allah. From his perspective, he has nothing
to apologize for or be sorry about — not even the weapons and
explosives training. “Syria: Derry man […]

Romney is right. But Obama’s presidency has been all about legitimizing
the illegitimate and delegitimizing the legitimate. This letter to the
Ayatollah is of a piece with his Justice Department’s close and friendly
relationship with the Hamas-linked Islamic Society of North America
(ISNA), and shunning of counter-jihadists. “Mitt Romney hits President
Obama on Iran letter,” […]

Everyone knows that only greasy Islamophobes think that Islam teaches
that loyalty to the religion transcends loyalty to one’s nation. So how
did Dion Waiters get this idea? And if he were ever called upon to
defend his nation against, say, the Islamic State, what would he do?
“Dion Waiters informs NEOMG that he is […]

Here is video of my weekly Jihad Watch segment on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show, from
Thursday.
Topics (thanks to AlohaSnackbar01): 1) Libyan soldiers blame the
British for not telling them the difference between right and wrong . . .
that’s why they attacked and raped British girls. 2)
Pro-Israel/anti-ISIS doctor investigated in Britain by […]

The caliphate is and always has been a might-makes-right proposition.
The longer the Islamic State lasts, the most Muslims around the world
will declare their allegiance to it. “Egypt’s Islamist Militant Group
Swears Allegiance to IS: Reports,” RIA Novosti, November 4, 2014:
MOSCOW, November 4 (RIA Novosti) – Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, a powerful
Islamist group […]

Moussaoui might be singular among all the jihadis who are described as
being mentally ill, in that he may really be mentally ill. Nonetheless,
there is nothing immediately implausible about these claims. “Imprisoned
terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui wants to testify in Oklahoma City federal
court,” by Nolan Clay, NewsOK, November 5, 2014: An admitted al-Qaida
terrorist […]

Courage is at a premium these days. Few people are willing to take
stands that might endanger them or even involve them in something
“controversial.” Leftist and Islamic supremacist jihad enablers take
advantage of that fear and do everything they can to render every
opponent of jihad terror too “controversial” to be heard in polite […]

The caption for this photo at the BBC site is: “A meeting inside
Vienna’s main mosque for its open day The Islamic Community says the
draft law could play into the hands of radicals.” So you see, trying to
stop jihad will just lead to more jihad. The best thing to do is just
surrender. […]

He recently grew a full beard and began wearing Muslim dress. It is odd
how no one among the British political or media elites ever seems to
notice that those who commit these acts that have nothing to do with
Islam are invariably devout and dedicated in their observance of Islam.
The misunderstanding of Islam […]

“We still believe in his innocence. We still believe this crime was
initiated by the government. The government provided the money on the
front end, the explosives on the back end, and it was a totally
manufactured crime.” What would it take to get you to plot “to kill
hundreds of people by targeting several […]

Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups claim that such
laws infringe upon Muslims’ religious freedom. In reality, neither
Alabama nor any other state would be contemplating anti-Sharia laws were
it not for Sharia’s political and supremacist aspects, and its elements
that are at variance with Constitutional freedoms — notably, its denial
of the freedom […]

The ingratitude. Apparently these jihadis don’t think the Brits are
handing over their country and destroying their own laws and traditions
quickly enough. Faster, Cameron, faster! “‘Plot to kill the Queen’
foiled,” Yahoo7 News, November 8, 2014 (thanks to Peter): An alleged
plot to kill Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Albert Hall has been […]
