Merry Christmas in these days of the persecution of Christians
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 03:18 pm

Merry Christmas to all Jihad Watchers who are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ today. The question before us this Christmas, as it is every Christmas these days, is whether or not Christians should be allowed to be Christian and celebrate Christmas freely, without being brutalized or discriminated against, if they live in Iran, or […]

Belgium: Muslim who went on shooting spree at Jewish Museum “had a long beard and was praying daily” before attack
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 02:00 pm

Here again we see the fact that virtually all the establishment counterterror analysts wish to ignore and obfuscate: jihad terrorists are devout in their observance of Islam. Not all devout Muslims are or will ever become jihad terrorists, but all jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. Note also that Mehdi Nemmouche was supposedly “radicalized” in prison. […]

Two Muslims from the U.S. captured waging jihad for the Islamic State in Syria
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 01:00 pm

At least one of these men is a convert to Islam. But authorities have no interest in how he got the idea that his new religion required him to commit treason and mass murder. Warren Christopher Clark “was radicalized after viewing jihadist videos online.” Presumably, then, if we just could get rid of online jihadist […]

Libya: Muslim paid $639,000 by UK for its role in his rendition wanted for jihad attacks on oil terminals, airbase
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 12:29 pm

Rendition is “the practice of sending a foreign criminal or terrorist suspect covertly to be interrogated in a country with less rigorous regulations for the humane treatment of prisoners.” Apparently in this case Abdel Hakim Belhaj was not exactly a random man on the street targeted for torture by the Gaddafi regime. Leftists love to […]

Nigeria: Muslim who murdered over 200 people in jihad attacks was brought into jihad group by Muslim cleric
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 11:34 am

A Muslim cleric? A man who has dedicated his life to understanding correctly and communicating properly the peaceful teachings of Islam? How could he have misunderstood his religion so drastically? Surely that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Nigeria now, in order to explain to Mallam Mustapha that authentic Islam […]

Airstrike kills jihad terrorist behind USS Cole bombing in 2000
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 11:23 am

Many believe that the killing of high profile figures in al-Qaeda and other jihad groups will leave the groups rudderless and take away the enthusiasm of the rank and file. These analysts do not understand that these groups are motivated not by attachment to a charismatic leader or revered hero, but by a religious ideology. […]

“Epiphany is the religious feast day celebrated by millions of Christians around the world on January 6. As is usual on the holy day, Pope Francis gave a mass to 60,000 people in St Peter’s Basilica, Rome.” Unfortunately, Pope Francis decided that he would use his powerful role once again to force the political agenda […]

Alhamdulillah: For Ilhan Omar, All Praise Be To Allah For Her Victory (Part Three)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 07, 2019 10:00 am

Hill said that saying “Alhamdulillah” is an act of humility for Muslims. Saying “alhamdulillah” is an “act of humility” because it ascribes to Allah, not to Ilhan Omar or her supporters, her election victory. All praise be to Allah. Despite the claims of Huda Hawa and Margaret Hill that Christian politicians make similar statements praising […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2019 09:00 am

If Jenan Ayesh is telling the truth, her attacker should be found and tried for assault. Here is what Jenan Ayesh says in this video about the attack: “On Saturday, my family and I were in the Reunion Tower. We all had a great time. And in the evening, when we decided to go home, […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 07, 2019 08:00 am

On Fox News Sunday, “Chris Wallace challenged White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on the Trump administration’s claim that terrorists are crossing the southwestern border of the United States. Wallace said, ‘The State Department says, quote, “There were no credible evidence of any terrorist coming across the border from Mexico.”’” Chris Wallace is wrong. The […]
