JIHAD WATCH 10/13/2018

Mufti of Tajikistan: “We should not confuse Islam with terrorism. Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance.”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 05:14 pm

Once again a Muslim leader has made this claim that we have heard so often. Propaganda, because it is contrary to fact, has to be endlessly repeated in order to be accepted by the masses. And that constant repetition works: many, if not most, Americans, today believe that Islam is a religion of peace that […]

UK: Police told to “reflect upon the community impact” and “trauma” for Muslims of terror investigation
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 04:57 pm

Ever the victim. This is the rule: in jihad attacks, the first victims are Muslims. And even a non-Muslim official, Max Hill QC, here plays the game. This will, of course, hinder efforts to combat the spread of the jihad ideology in Muslim communities in the UK, but there aren’t any such efforts anyway, so […]

UN “mistranslation” conceals Abbas’ glorification of jihad terrorists and PA’s pay for slay policy
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 04:41 pm

“Could it be that these mistranslations were done intentionally?” But of course! Who can you trust? Largely those whom the political and media elites insist that you cannot and must not trust. “UN mistranslation concealed Abbas’ glorification of terrorists and PA’s pay for slay policy,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Ziberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, […]

Sky News falsifies interview with Tommy Robinson, refuses to apologize
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 04:31 pm

It isn’t just that the establishment news outlets are biased. They’re virtually all hard-Left, but now Sky News has crossed the line into active falsification. Perhaps it will soon open a branch in “Palestine,” if it doesn’t have one already. In this interview, Tommy Robinson characterized the attitude of members of Muslim rape gangs by […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part One)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 12, 2018 03:40 pm

Amid all over the furor over the possible murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi regime thugs, it is useful to remember that in Yemen, the Saudi-UAE forces that have been fighting against the Shi’a Houthis, backed by Iran, are naturally supported by the Americans. Iran is our declared mortal enemy, Saudi Arabia — […]

Democrat Congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar defends donation to Hamas-linked CAIR
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 03:07 pm

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its […]

Turkey releases US Pastor Andrew Brunson after holding him for two years on false charges
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 02:55 pm

Another triumph of Trump administration diplomacy. The Erdogan regime had hoped to trade Brunson for Fetuhullah Gulen, whom Erdogan has scapegoated as the supposed leader of a coup against him (Gulen and Erdogan are both adherents of political Islam; their rift is personal). Instead, Brunson is coming home. “Pastor Andrew Brunson released to U.S. diplomatic […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 08:54 am

I spoke with Anne Marie Waters, leader of the For Britain Movement for the Forgotten Majority, via Skype during For Britain’s recent 2018 conference. Once the odious May regime is gone and sanity is restored to British politics (no, that doesn’t mean Jeremy Corbyn), I’ll address a future For Britain conference in person.

Indonesia: 63 jihad terror groups pledge allegiance to the Islamic State’s caliph
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 08:27 am

Even though the Islamic State has lost most of its territory in Iraq and Syria, and with it the appearance of enjoying the favor of Allah upon its claim to be the caliphate, that claim still has a potent appeal for jihad groups worldwide. In Sunni Islamic law, only the caliph is authorized to declare […]

France: Concert by pro-jihad Muslim performer at site of jihad massacre canceled
By Robert Spencer on Oct 12, 2018 08:07 am

“Not a single imam, as I speak to you, not a single Muslim leader, asked Medine to cancel his concert. That makes them all accomplices, all of them are complicit.” It also raises important questions about how “moderate” imams in France really are. But will French authorities ask those questions and mount investigations in order […]
