JIHAD WATCH 11/23/2015 DEMS PROTECT ISLAM RATHER THAN CITIZENS

Huckabee: “Democrats seem determined to defend Islam more than America”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 08:05 pm

Republican presidential candidates respond to the ridiculous Democratic National Committee ad you can see here. Huckabee’s comment is most apposite, and is true not just of the DNC, but of the Obama Administration and the mainstream media — as well as much of the Republican establishment. “EXCLUSIVE: Republicans Slam DNC Ad Attacking Them for Using […]

Sharia UK: London police dive into canal to rescue Qur’ans
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 07:50 pm

If 150 Bibles had been found in the canal, would the police have dived into the canal to rescue them and investigated the possibility of a hate crime? What do you think? But the London police know very well who has the power in contemporary Britain. “Police dive into canal to rescue 150 Islamic books… […]

Paris jihad mass murderers changed when they “stopped drinking and started praying”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 12:28 pm

A savvy investigator, hearing that, would start to investigate what they were praying and how those prayers may have affected their decision to murder Infidels in Paris. That line of inquiry could shed a great deal of light on jihadis’ motives, goals and future plans. But it is closed off to investigators: willful ignorance is […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 12:14 pm

Obama is avid to bring in Syrian refugees legally. So why sneak in, unless one has nefarious plans? “Five Syrians Stopped at Laredo International Bridge One,” by Valerie Gonzalez, KGNS.tv, November 21, 2015: Five more Syrians have been stopped at a Laredo port of entry on Friday. This brings the total number of Syrians seeking […]

UK Muslim spent his student loan on a trip to Syria to join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 12:05 pm

But…but…all would-be jihadis need are educational opportunities and jobs, and then they will turn away from the jihad in droves, right? Right? “JAILED: Terror teen blew student loan on Syria trip to become ISIS foot soldier,” by Siba Jackson, Daily Star, November 19, 2015: A WOULD-BE teen terrorist who blew his student loan on a […]

Germany: Muslims were 90 minutes away from carrying out “five bomb” jihad mass murder plot at soccer match
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 11:51 am

“German intelligence have declined to reveal details of the intelligence dossier, amid reports that one of the terror cell members was a woman and another was named as Faiz A. ‘Some of these answers would alarm the public.'” Oh, well, then, by all means, keep us in the dark, ignorant and complacent, and keep telling […]

Whistleblowers accuse US military of cooking intel to exaggerate success against the Islamic State and Taliban
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 09:32 am

We have seen accusations of this kind before. Given the Obama Administration’s thorough politicization of so much of government that was not politicized before, it is not remotely implausible. “US Military May Have ‘Cooked’ ISIL Intel, Exaggerating Own Success,” Sputnik News, November 22, 2015: Whistleblowers accused the US military of manipulating intelligence data on its […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Douce France
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Nov 22, 2015 09:16 am

[Editor’s note: Hugh Fitzgerald first published this essay here at Jihad Watch in 2004. Now, in light of the recent jihad attacks in Paris and ongoing threats to France from the Islamic State, it is more germane than ever, and hence eminently worthy of republishing. The names of the politicians have changed; the overall situation […]

Archbishop of Canterbury: The way Islamic State distorts Islam “one of the most desperate aspects of our world today”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 07:10 am

The possibility that they’re not distorting it at all, but carrying out Qur’anic commands to “kill the idolaters wherever you find them” (9:5) and the like, doesn’t enter his mind. Indeed, in an increasing number of Christian churches, anyone who raises such a possibility is silenced and ostracized: the idea that Islam is a Religion […]

FBI top dog: Islamic State “urging people not to travel but to stay and kill where you are. We’re not sure exactly what’s going on.”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 06:36 am

This isn’t really a change in the Islamic State’s strategy. I discuss it in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS. The most revealing thing Comey says is, “We’re not sure exactly what’s going on.” Truer words were never spoken! Obama’s FBI as a matter of policy refuses to acknowledge or study the ideology, […]

Poll: 40 percent of millennials want speech censored
By Robert Spencer on Nov 22, 2015 06:15 am

This Daily Caller report is all about how a large percentage of young people favor restrictions on speech deemed offensive to minorities, and while it discusses only racial minorities, there is no doubt that its findings apply to Muslims as well, and that many young people would want speech offensive to Muslims restricted as well.
