JIHAD WATCH 02/17/2015

Exchange with Hate Preacher Kashif Chaudhry By Robert Spencer on Feb 17, 2015 02:30 am I’ve noted many times that many Ahmadi Muslim spokesmen in the West side with their persecutors and carry water for the jihadis. I’ve also noted many times that many Muslim spokesmen in the West are personally viciously rude, absolutely unwilling to engage their foes on the level of rational argumentation, or to accord them basic […] Read in browser »   Raymond Ibrahim: The True History of Christendom and Islam By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 16, 2015 11:56 pm [Frontpage Magazine via RaymondIbrahim.com] U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent condemnation of medieval Christian history to exonerate modern Islam is a reminder of how woefully ignorant (or intentionally deceptive) a good many people in the West are concerning the true history of Christian Europe and Islam. The problem is that those who condemn things like […] Read in browser » Islamic State: “Great reward” for killing Coptic Christians By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 16, 2015 11:55 pm The following excerpt from the Islamic State captures well the perverse logic that its many members and even more sympathizers operate under.  It recently appeared in an Islamic State report explaining why the jihadis executed 21 Coptic Christian workers abducted in (post- “Arab Spring”) Libya.   The justification begins by positioning the 2010 Islamic raid on the Our Lady […] Read in browser » Raymond Ibrahim: Christians under Islam Suffer for Western ‘Sins’ By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 16, 2015 11:54 pm [VIE via RaymondIbrahim.com] Not only are many Western secularists totally indifferent to the plight of Christians and other religious minorities under Islam—they inadvertently exacerbate it, thanks to the Muslim penchant to conflate Western behavior with Christianity. Thus Charlie Hebdo’s satirical caricatures of Muhammad are now being pinned on the Christian faith by Muslims who seem […] Read in browser » UK: “A man from Liverpool” charged with attempting to obtain a chemical weapon By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 04:19 pm The BBC deigns to tell us his name, Mohammed Ammer Ali, but other than that tells us only that he is “a man from Liverpool.” As is typical of the mainstream media, it makes no mention whatsoever of the fact that there is a jihad against the West, and that Mohammed Ammer Ali likely considers […] Read in browser » Denmark: Muslim youths screaming “Allahu akbar” say they’re “brothers” to jihad murderer By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 01:26 pm They removed flowers from the site where he was killed, saying that it was not Islamic tradition to lay flowers for the dead. But it is noteworthy that there were flowers at the site where Omar El-Hussein was killed at all. That shows support for his murders as much as does the removal of the […] Read in browser » Geert Wilders to keynote AFDI’s Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Texas By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 12:50 pm Join us: Pamela Geller will be there, Geert Wilders will be there, I will be there, and other freedom fighters will be there, standing up for the freedom of speech and showing that we will not be forced into silence by violent thuggery and intimidation.

If Barack Obama had his way, the Muslim Brotherhood would still be in power in Egypt, and Egypt would not have undertaken this strike. “Egypt bombs Islamic State targets in Libya after 21 Egyptians beheaded,” by Ahmed Tolba and Shadi […] Read in browser » US ambassador to Denmark: Jihadi was “a Dane, born and bred in Denmark” By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 09:55 am Omar El-Hussein was born in Denmark, but did he consider himself a Dane in any way other than geographically? Unlikely. He almost certainly grew up in a Muslim area and was taught Islamic values, including the distaste that the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) should have for the jahiliyya, the society of the “most vile […] Read in browser » Joe Scarborough: Islamic jihadis like “ultrafundamentalist Christians” By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 09:27 am Scarborough actually goes farther toward the truth than most mainstream media types, and much farther than anyone on MSNBC usually goes, when he rejects the idea that the jihadis are “as far from Islam as possible.” He even acknowledges that they stand for “a stripped down and pure Islam as it gets.” But then, perhaps […] Read in browser » Yemen’s last Jews may leave: Houthis’ motto “curse Jews, victory to Islam” By Robert Spencer on Feb 16, 2015 08:08 am This Reuters article is deeply anti-Israel: “Yemen’s Jewish community numbered over 40,000 until 1949, when Israel organised their mass transfer to the newly-established state. Those who stayed say they had lived in peace with their neighbours in the Muslim Arab country.” This is not the whole story by any means. Professor Shmuel Trigano fills in […] Read in browser »
