Austria: Man who committed gruesome murder of elderly couple turns out to be “radicalized Muslim”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 06, 2017 06:36 pm

Mohammad H confessed to murdering this elderly couple in cold blood and setting fire to their house. He was first reported to have acted out of “‘hatred and political motives,’ since the couple’s son was an active member of Austria’s far-right Freedom Party (FPO).” This was all that Mohammad H told authorities about his motives.

Iraq: Islamic jihadis torture, murder male model because of the way he dressed and his long hair
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 06, 2017 06:08 pm

“Friends of the actor said on social media they believed he was killed by radical Islamists because of the way he dressed, his long hair and his friendship with female actors.” Iraqi male model Karar Nushi had too many female friends, dressed in tight clothes, and was preparing for a male “beauty pageant.” Perhaps his […]

UK: Jewish Chronicle’s attack on Tommy Robinson is “insult to thousands of Jews’ intelligence”
By Brian Thomas on Jul 06, 2017 05:58 pm

Yesterday I wrote here at Jihad Watch about an attack on Tommy Robinson in the pages of the organ of the establishment Jews of Britain, the Jewish Chronicle. While I was drafting my response, they published two further pieces, another slanted “news” piece and an out-and-out attack from the editor, Stephen Pollard. His title didn’t […]

FBI now investigating 1,000 Islamic State-related jihad threats in all 50 states
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 12:49 pm

“It’s harder than finding a needle in a haystack; it’s like finding a needle in a stack of needles.” And that’s especially true since the denial and willful ignorance about the motivating ideology of the threat is still all-prevailing. “FBI Investigating 1,000 ISIS-Related Threats in All 50 States,” by Anugrah Kumar, Christian Post, July 1, […]

Linda Sarsour: Resistance to Trump is “jihad,” Muslims must be “perpetually outraged,” Muslims’ priority is “not to assimilate”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 11:52 am

Sarsour and her allies are doing very well at the “perpetually outraged” part. She is working from the myth that Muslims in Trump’s America are facing widespread and systemic persecution and harassment, and that much worse (a Muslim registry! Internment camps!) is looming. This is, of course, nonsense, but it is dangerous and incendiary nonsense, […]

Maine: 8 women, including 2 children, have suffered FGM; ACLU opposes attempts to criminalize it
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 11:36 am

“The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Maine said FGM legislation is not worth expanding the criminal code. They released a statement saying, ‘This bill is nothing more than an attempt to single out behavior that is commonly attributed to certain religious and ethnic communities as different from other forms of abuse.'” “Certain religious and […]

Spain: Manhunt on after gunman wielding AK47 shoots two police officers
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 11:16 am

This may not be a jihad terror attack. It could a police-hating Leftist. It could be something else altogether. But the weapon and the target make jihad a possibility. “BREAKING: Cops shot by active gunman wielding AK47 with several injured,” by Nicholas Bieber, Daily Star, July 6, 2017: A GUNMAN wielding an AK47 has shot […]

Sharia France: Do not dare to criticize Islam
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 11:00 am

All over the West, authorities are adopting Sharia values criminalizing (or at very least stigmatizing) criticism of Islam, in the vain hope that ending such criticism will result in an end to the global jihad. They’re in for a rude surprise, but by then it will be far too late. “In France, do not dare […]

Trump: “The West will never, ever be broken. Our values will prevail, our people will thrive, and our civilization will triumph.”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 10:40 am

Compare this to Obama’s “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” The contrast could not be greater. Obama was declaring his determination to defend Islamic values, which he also affirmed on many other occasions. Now, however, once again we have an American President who is actually interested in defending […]

France allows 100 jihad terror suspects to own firearms
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 10:24 am

If these jihadis couldn’t have guns legally, they would get them illegally, but this shows the abject failure of the French state to keep control of this problem, which, of course, they have brought upon themselves by pursuing policies of unrestricted Muslim immigration combined with no demands for assimilation. “France allows 100 terror suspects to […]

Yemen: Muslim Brotherhood leader says girls are raped because of the way they dress
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2017 10:02 am

“Yemeni social media activists attacked and criticized Al Adini’s views that stray far from Islamic morals, teachings and principles.” In reality, however, al-Adini’s words were completely in accord with Islamic morals, teachings and principles. The idea behind the hijab, niqab and burqa is that women are responsible for men being tempted, and must cover themselves […]

Nigeria: 700 Boko Haram jihadists surrender and “repent”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 06, 2017 09:29 am

It is good news that 700 Boko Haram jihadists were made to surrender, but to believe that Boko Haram is “repentant” and that this “repentance” represents “the end of terrorism in Nigeria” is naive. Such a declaration is merely bravado from those wishing to regain some confidence among Nigeria’s people and also to project a […]
