JIHAD WATCH 03/04/2018

Catholic Church sets out a vision for closer ties with Islam
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 06:59 pm

Had Charles Martel and the Franks lost their battle against the jihadis at Tours in 732, the eighteenth-century English historian Edward Gibbon envisioned the continent’s complete Islamization: A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal […]

UK: Three Muslims charged with arson over shop blast in Leicester that killed five people
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 03:24 pm

Police announced several days ago that this incident was “not linked to terrorism.” But we cannot be sure that is so, since they say that even when incidents are clearly related to jihad terror. And we know that the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: If you are not able to find an […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 01:27 pm

“The woman is charged with ‘talking in a negative or threatening way about a group of people’ after she posted cartoons about Islam on Facebook.” Sweden is on fire with jihad activity, and this is what they prosecute. Would this woman have been prosecuted for joking about Christianity or Judaism? What do you think? The […]

Muslim cleric: Praying for eternal forgiveness for non-Muslims is forbidden
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 01:18 pm

Of course. It’s in the Qur’an: “It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (Qur’an 9:113) “There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and […]

Nigeria: Muslims murder 12 Christians for trying to protect girls from forced conversion to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 10:59 am

The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, 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 and […]

UK: Muslim teacher tried to raise army of jihadi children for jihad massacres at Big Ben and Heathrow Airport
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 08:31 am

He did this at an Islamic school and at a mosque, and “nobody at any of the institutions raised the alarm and Mr Haydon also suggested they had failed to cooperate fully with the investigation.” What a surprise. Mr Haydon assumes he is dealing with loyal, patriotic Muslim Britons. Could there be jihad sympathizers among […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant arrested for bomb threat in church
By Robert Spencer on Mar 03, 2018 07:57 am

The bomb threat was at a church, so why is The Local’s headline “bomb threat near Bern station”? Probably because the establishment media wants to minimize awareness of the jihadi antipathy toward Christians and Christianity. The Qur’an commands Muslims to make war against Christians and subjugate them under the rule of Sharia (9:29) and says […]
