Oxford prof whitewashes Islamization of Middle East as driven by “intermarriage” and “economic self-interest”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 05:00 pm

Christian C. Sahner is technically correct: the Islamization of the Middle East was indeed largely driven by “intermarriage, economic self-interest, and political allegiance.” But behind these bland words lies a far uglier reality. Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, but allows Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women. Thus since women would join […]

I wish all Jewish Jihad Watch readers a safe and easy fast, and ask all lovers of justice and freedom to stand with Israel, which is as always on the front lines of the global jihad. As Benjamin Franklin once said, […]

Nigeria: Muslims kill abducted Red Cross worker, Red Cross says “no religious law” justifies harming other hostages
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 02:21 pm

Is the International Committee of the Red Cross really sure that “there is no ideology or religious law that could justify doing any harm” to the remaining Red Cross workers being held by the jihad terrorists of Boko Haram? What about the religious law that is derived from the book that says these things? “And […]

Ghana: Muslim cleric held for helping force 12-year-old girl into marriage
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 01:17 pm

It is no surprise that an imam would be involved in this. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s […]

The Genius of Muhammad
By Amil Imani on Sep 18, 2018 10:54 am

In order to understand Islam, we must understand its prophet, Muhammad. There were two Muhammads, with two characters. In Mecca, Muhammad preached and exhorted people to submit to Islam. In Medina, he used the threat of the sword to compel people to convert to Islam. Meccan contemporaries passed a very harsh judgment on him. They […]

Italy: Muslim migrant hit his teen daughter and threw her against wall for being “too Westernized”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 10:25 am

“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 them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and […]

Netherlands: Judge gives light sentence to Muslim migrant who raped girl so he wouldn’t lose his residence permit
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 10:13 am

What could possibly go wrong? Surely Zaman S. will now become a loyal, stable, productive member of Dutch society. Won’t he? “Afghan rapes mentally disabled girl, judge gives him light sentence so he can stay,” translated from “Afghaan verkracht zwakbegaafd meisje, rechter straft licht zodat hij kan blijven,” The Post Online, September 18, 2018: A […]

Woman accusing Muslim Congressman of abuse says Democrats “smeared, threatened, isolated” her
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 09:06 am

Of course. Karen Monahan couldn’t reasonably have expected anything else. Keith Ellison is a key component of the Democrats’ mythology, fronting claims of Muslim victimhood as far back as Peter King’s hearings on terrorism, and intimidating people who would explore the jihadis’ motivating ideology — for, you see, here is a moderate Muslim, a fiercely […]

UK Prime Minister May again equates Robert Spencer with jihad terrorists Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2018 08:31 am

May gave a very similar speech in December 2016. This one is just recycled, but she included in it the same libel of me that she put in the first one. “And I acted to keep those who peddle hatred and extremism out of our country. I kicked out Abu Hamza and Abu Qatada. I […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part II)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 18, 2018 07:54 am

At the same gathering, the Dalai Lama insisted that “India is the only country where different religions have been able to co-exist.” This was a bizarre remark, but the Dalai Lama is given to strange remarks. First, could he have forgotten that all over the Western  world, people of different confessions have coexisted peacefully? Or […]

Humanness Trumps Muslimness
By Amil Imani on Sep 18, 2018 07:41 am

There is no question in my mind that Islam is religious fascism. Both the beliefs and practices of Islam amply prove my assertion. To start with, see what their invocation of their god is: Allahu akbar (“Allah is the greater,” and not “God is great,” as it is marketed in English). Then there is a […]
