JIHAD WATCH 07/11/2018

Will “outreach,” “dialogue,” and “hearts and minds” initiatives end the jihad?
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 05:41 pm

Mainstream foreign policy analyst John Hannah wrote in March that “both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama understood that we wouldn’t be able to just kill our way out of the conflict with radical Islamists.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 02:00 pm

“I will also be asking my Anti-Muslim hate crime and Anti-Semitism roundtables to identify what more we can do to stamp out hate crime,” says Home Secretary Sajid Javid. Unfortunately, honest analysis of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims is generally included among […]

UK’s Guardian claims Arabic in Renaissance painting shows “deep connection between Europe and Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 01:00 pm

The writing in the halos is actually not Arabic, but Pseudo-Kufic: Renaissance-era Europeans thought that the Arabic script was that which was used in Jesus’ time, so they thought that they were lending some historical authenticity to their representations by including some characters that resembled Arabic. That is all that is going on in Gentile […]

Turkish Deputy PM admits: “Even if no Turks lived in Cyprus, Turkey would still have a Cyprus issue”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 12:00 pm

Turkey has occupied Cyprus since 1974, ostensibly to protect the Turkish Muslims there from attacks from the Greek Orthodox Christians. Those attacks were not, of course, really happening. But now Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister, Tuğrul Türkeş, has let the cat out of the bag: “There is this misinformation that Turkey is interested in Cyprus because […]

India: Woman alleges “love jihad,” says her husband hid that he was Muslim and claimed to be Hindu
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 11:00 am

Hindus contend that Muslim men woo Hindu women on false pretenses, as in this case, in order to bring them in the fold of Islam and help ensure that the Muslim community continues to grow at the expense of the non-Muslim one. There […]

Libya: Muslim leader threatens to “raise the flag of jihad” against the “fascists” and “enemies of Allah” of Italy
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 09:00 am

Omar Mukhtar was the leader of the resistance to the Italian colonization of Libya. In saying that “sons of Omar Mukhtar still love jihad,” Khalifa Haftar is claiming that the Italians are attempting to recolonize Libya, which is far-fetched at best.

Saudi Arabia: Two men “opposed to women drivers” set fire to a woman’s car
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 08:00 am

The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded […]

Abbas defiant, won’t stop payments to jihad terrorists
By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2018 07:00 am

The jihad always comes first, and must not be halted, but the West pays little or no heed to its ideological foundations, and so consistently misunderstands and misdiagnoses the problem. “Defiant Abbas says he won’t halt stipends to terrorists,” Times of Israel, July 9, 2018: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday that he will […]
