JIHAD WATCH 06/13/2015

Islamic State jihadis using Libya as new route to the West By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 07:03 pm Europe is accepting these refugees for humanitarian reasons. Anyone who raises concerns about how the Islamic State is exploiting the situation to send people to Europe and the U.S. to sow blood and destruction is denounced as “Islamophobic.” All will be well and all manner of thing will be well as we demonize and silence […] Read in browser »   Florida Muslims get stiff sentences for NYC jihad mass murder plot By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 04:31 pm “U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom told the Pakistani-born men they had taken advantage of the benefits of U.S. citizenship to plot violence and hatred against their fellow-Americans.” There is no doubt whatsoever that the Qazi brothers did not think of themselves as Americans, and did not believe that they were plotting against their fellow Americans, […] Read in browser » Pakistan: Muslim demand church give up its land or face blasphemy charge By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 04:20 pm Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are the occasion of ongoing human rights abuses against Christians and others, but no one is particularly concerned. After all, it isn’t as if something really important and worthy of robust resistance action, such as “Islamophobia,” were being committed. “Muslims Demand Church Vacate or Face Blasphemy Charge,” Christian News Minute, June 12, […] Read in browser » Muslims who plotted to behead Pamela Geller readily admitted support for Islamic State By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 04:09 pm “The same day, Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was interviewed by agents. He said he converted to Islam two years ago, and he changed his name to ‘Nuh Amriki.’ The Islamic State group appealed to him ‘because they represent the most pure and honest form of the religion,’ according to investigators.” Not that this has […] Read in browser » University of California-Berkeley student’s article about why she left Islam pulled from school paper over fears for her safety By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 08:33 am I saw the piece when it first went up in the Berkeley student newspaper, marveled that it was published at all in such a place, and had planned to post an excerpt at Jihad Watch, but it was gone before I got a chance. Now we know why: there are concerns for the safety of […] Read in browser » California Muslim who tried to join the Islamic State became more observant last year, frequently attending Anaheim mosque By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 08:13 am Is the mosque being investigated? If not, why not? “O.C. men plead not guilty to plotting to fight for Islamic State,” by Joel Rubin and Joseph Serna, Los Angeles Times, June 8, 2015: Two Orange County men accused of conspiring to aid Islamic State militants fighting in Iraq and Syria pleaded not guilty in federal […] Read in browser » Texas: Muslim faces charges of lying to FBI about allegiance to Islamic State By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 07:37 am “He allegedly claimed that he wanted to fight with the Free Syrian Army, which opposes the Islamic State, or ISIS.” He must not have seen much difference between the two, if he wanted to fight with either one of them. And in reality, Free Syrian Army factions have on more than one occasion collaborated with […] Read in browser » “We are planning to give Kenyan non-believers a true taste of Jihad” By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 07:20 am “We are planning to give Kenyan non-believers a true taste of Jihad in the next few days and weeks.” Nor do they mean, contrary to the nonsense peddled by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that they’re going to take Kenyan non-Muslims to the gym, or drop them off at school. It is also […] Read in browser » More Muslims from Britain trained as terrorists than ever before, says MI5 By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2015 04:14 am MI5 apparently refers to them as “Britons.” The Telegraph certainly does. Neither one shows any indication of realizing that none — absolutely none — of these Islamic jihadis has anything but contempt for Britain, and none — absolutely none — of them think of themselves as “Britons.” British authorities should be asking themselves why, after […] Read in browser »
