Former DIA director: Obama White House made “willful decision” to support al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood in Syria
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 10:24 am
Mehdi Hasan is a highly suspect analyst and Foreign Policy Journal
appears to be a pro-jihad paleocon publication, and Al Jazeera is
certainly a pro-jihad propaganda outlet. All that is noted, but if this
transcript is accurate, former DIA director Michael Flynn is confirming
that the Obama Administration knowingly decided to support al-Qaeda and
the […]

Iraqi Christian: Islamic State jihadis blinded me after I refused to convert to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 10:02 am
The Qur’an says that “there is no compulsion in religion,” (2:256),
but what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The
institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular
humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple
price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember
Steve Centanni […]

Lawyers for Minnesota jihad suspects say Islamic State not terror organization
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 09:49 am
“In one of several motions filed Friday
in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, the attorneys argued that
despite its reputation for brutality, ISIL carries many characteristics
of a government that tends to day-to-day business and that therefore
criminal charges against the defendants are too broad.” Indeed. After
all, during World War II, no one would […]

Florida jihadi’s family: Plot “just another of Suarez’s harmless phases”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 09:34 am
This weepy creepy puff piece from the Miami Herald presents Harlem
Suarez, who hoped to commit mass murder with a jihad bomb on a Key West
beach, as an innocent naif with only a glancing connection to reality,
victimized in an entrapment scheme by “Islamophobic” FBI agents. The
persistent problem with these claims of entrapment […]

Afghanistan: Jihadis murder 44, injure hundreds in wave of bombings
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 08:51 am
Once the U.S. troops are entirely gone or reduced to an insignificant
symbolic presence, how long do you think the Kabul government will last
before it is toppled and the Taliban is back in power? Months? Weeks?
Days? The entire U.S. incursion into Afghanistan has been wrongheaded,
mismanaged, goalless, rudderless, and monstrously wasteful. “44 dead,

Jordanians “will join Islamic State because they learned in school that this is Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 08:41 am
“’Islamic State ideology is there, in our textbooks,’ said Zogan
Obiedat, a former Education Ministry official who published a recent
analysis of the texts. If Jordan were to be overrun by the militants, a
large majority ‘will join IS because they learned in school that this is
Islam,’ he said.” How did the textbooks in […]

“The Islamic State is like a dream come true for me and all Muslim people”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 08:29 am
If we had a sane and responsible government, John Kerry or Joe Biden or
Jeh Johnson or some other official who has assured us that the Islamic
State has nothing to do with Islam would explain why young Muslims in
far-off Indonesia think that it is the embodiment of authentic Islam,
and what their strategy […]

Ex-Soviet army officer who converted to Islam guilty on jihad terror charges
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 08:09 am
Why was Irek Hamidullin tried in a Virginia court? He is an enemy
combatant. He was fighting the U.S. as part of the Taliban’s war against
the U.S. If the U.S. had brought every Nazi officer it captured to the
U.S. and made him stand trial, it would have slowed down the war effort,
perhaps […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: Why doesn’t the Pope go to Syria?
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 07:56 am
In PJ Media, I discuss a good opportunity for “Muslim-Christian
dialogue”: Let’s put the pope’s Muslim-Christian “dialogue” policy to
the test. Here’s the perfect destination for the next papal trip: Raqqa,
the de facto capital of the Islamic State’s caliphate. Last Sunday,
Pope Francis called for the release of Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim (the
Syriac Orthodox […]

“We are committed to being active participants in our society, but it has to be on Islam’s terms”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 08, 2015 07:45 am
Hizb ut-Tahrir’s statement is remarkable: it is a clear and unambiguous
statement of a supremacist intent to replace Europe’s existing
political system with an Islamic one. Authorities in Europe, however,
continue relentlessly to ignore such statements and pretend that the
vast majority of their Muslim populations oppose them. One month of
Islam in Europe: “Sex […]
