Germany to strip “refugee” status from Muslim migrants from Syria who return home on vacation
By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 05:00 pm

“Unfortunately, I was unable to go on holiday to Syria because something very important got in the way, and I hope to catch up very soon during the holidays. Germany is stressful and you need some kind of break.” Germany is stressful? It was Syria that was supposed to be stressful, and from which you […]

Muslim cleric says jihad is now “mandatory” against India over Jammu and Kashmir
By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 04:00 pm

He doesn’t mean an interior spiritual struggle, either. All the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, defensive jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ayn) rather than a collective obligation of the entire umma, and need not be declared by anyone. Bulghah al-Salik li-Aqrab al-Masalik […]

Palestinian Authority bans LGBTQ activities in West Bank, police to “chase” those promoting LGBTQ
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Aug 20, 2019 01:00 pm

The Palestinian narrative brands Israel a human rights abuser, guilty of “apartheid” and the like. It has been mentioned on Jihad Watch that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has vowed that in a future Palestinian State, “not a single Israeli” will exist in a future Palestinian state. Jew-hatred is endemic in Islamic culture, as is […]

Tlaib and Omar Weren’t Banned for Disagreeing with Israel
By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 12:00 pm

Their jihad advocacy is far worse than that. My latest in FrontPage: It is unlikely to come as a surprise to anyone except the most blinkered Leftist ideologue that Ilhan Omar’s response to being banned from entering Israel, along with her fellow antisemitic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, was outstandingly disingenuous. But she knows, when she retails […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 11:00 am

My latest in PJ Media: “I really make my own path.” So said, according to Newsweek, the star of what is apparently another reality TV show, 90-Day Fiancé: “Columbus, Ohio, native Avery Mills,” who is featured on the show along with “her 24-year-old Syrian love, Omar Albakkaur.” We are informed that Avery Mills is a […]

Syria: Islamic State jihadis getting art therapy in prison
By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 09:00 am

“If I sentence a man to death, I am spreading hate. We want to give people reasons to trust us. If you take revenge, people will be radicalized. But with reconciliation we are sure we can finish the problem.” Good luck with that, but it’s more likely that many of these jihadis will take their […]

Jammu and Kashmir: Old video from Sri Lanka shared as attack on Muslim women
By Robert Spencer on Aug 20, 2019 08:00 am

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). Among “Palestinians” it’s a veritable art form. But other jihadis and their allies practice it as well. “FAKE ALERT: Old video from Sri Lanka shared as attack on Muslim women in Kashmir,” Times of India, August 16, 2019: A 30-second-long video was posted by Facebook page ‘Muslims of […]
