JIHAD WATCH 05/28/2015

41 Muslims from the US have tried to join the Islamic State in 2015 By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 11:27 pm And it’s only May. But not to worry: all the learned analysts tell us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. “While D.C. Downplays Risk, U.S. Sees Shocking Rise in Terror Arrests This Year,” by Patrick Poole, PJ Media, May 27, 2015: The arrest of two southern California men last week who […] Read in browser »   Learned analysts starting to realize airstrikes alone will not dislodge Islamic State By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 11:07 pm Mainstream analysts usually lurch from mistake to mistake, applying faulty solutions based on fantasy-based analyses, without ever being held accountable for the disasters that follow in the wake of their actions. Just look at Obama and Hillary at Benghazi. But the idea that an entity that controls an expanse of territory larger than Great Britain […] Read in browser » Illinois Muslim may plead guilty to trying to join jihad in Syria By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 10:46 pm “A lawyer for Abdella Ahmad Tounisi says both sides expect to seal a plea agreement within several weeks.” So maybe he will serve some jail time, or maybe none at all, and then what? Maybe plot jihad right here at home? “Aurora man may plead guilty to terrorism charges,” WLS, May 27, 2015: CHICAGO (WLS) […] Read in browser » UK: Local Muslims “shocked” by conviction of Muslim on terror charges By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 10:13 pm Read the imam’s remarks carefully. “We need to find out how to engage the minds of the youth, regardless of religion, we need to engage them so we can curtail problems before they happen.” Regardless of religion? How many non-Muslims have gone to join the Islamic State? The imam doesn’t say a word about what […] Read in browser » Islamic State sex slave forced to recite Qur’an during rapes By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 09:48 pm They’d almost have you thinking that all this had something to do with Islam. They’d almost have you thinking that they’re aware that the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, […] Read in browser » Georgia Muslim pleads guilty to trying to join the Islamic State By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 08:39 pm This was in Jimmy Carter Georgia, not Soviet Georgia. Abdul Wakil Khalil is another convert to Islam. Where and how did he come to subscribe to an understanding of Islam that the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Prime Minister of Great Britain and a host of others assure us has nothing […] Read in browser » UK Muslim who said “there’s no life without Jihad” guilty of terror offenses By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 05:43 pm Ashiq wrote: “There’s no life, no life without Jihad” and wanted to do “Ishtishadi (martyrdom) against… all these people.” He also declared his allegiance to the Islamic State, and searched for phrases such as “IS beheading journalist” and “44 ways to support Jihad.” “Coventry man GUILTY of terrorism offences,” by Ben Eccleston, Coventry Telegraph, May […] Read in browser » Canada: Muslim arrested for statue defacing, hate graffiti at Catholic church By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 03:40 pm Clearly the Catholic Church needs to ramp up the “dialogue” in Mississauga. That will fix this problem right up. Yes, that “dialogue” will make young Muslims like Iqbal Hessan forget all about the hadith in which Muhammad is depicted as ssaying, “Do not leave any image without defacing it or any built-up grave without leveling […] Read in browser » UK: City that covered up Muslim rape gangs wants to ban anti-child rape protests By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 02:37 pm 1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in Rotherham, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” The real people responsible for these 1,400 abused children are those who, […] Read in browser » Muslim cleric: Satan and Jews are the enemies of the Muslims By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 02:15 pm He adds that the creation of the State of Israel and the gathering of Jews in that state was a precursor to the final destruction of the Jews. But this kind of thing makes the international opinion-makers yawn; it is pumped out in such quantity that it is taken in stride. The real concern is, […] Read in browser » Pamela Geller, Breitbart: What Qasim Rashid Doesn’t Want You to Know About Islam By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 01:44 pm Pamela Geller here calls Qasim Rashid a “one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy,” and she’s right: previously Rashid has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about […] Read in browser » Islamic State murders 262 as it takes Syrian city of Palmyra By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 11:26 am The reign of terror won’t end with this. Sharia itself is a slow-motion reign of terror: the stonings, the amputations, the institutionalized oppression of women and non-Muslims — it all creates an empire of fear. “Islamic State executes 262 as it takes Syrian city of Palmyra, group says,” CNN, May 26, 2015: (CNN) – When […] Read in browser » Senior Iranian cleric: Hey, let’s chop off more hands By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 10:53 am The world stands by in horror as the Islamic State amputates hands and videotapes the proceedings, as if this were unique evidence of its “extremism.” In reality, it is just standard Sharia, based on the Qur’an, and is practiced wherever Sharia is fully implemented: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and […] Read in browser » Islamic jihadists kidnap priest at his Syrian monastery By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2015 10:29 am “The priest was kidnapped by three masked people in the early afternoon at his Mar Elian Monastery in the town of Qaryatayn, while he was preparing to welcome an expected influx of refugees from Palmyra.” Father Jacques Mourad had “succeeded the Italian Jesuit Priest Paolo Dall`Oglio as the head of the Mar Moussa Monastery, which […] Read in browser »
