Repentant Islamic State bride: “‘We are winning’ the battle against radical Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 05:00 pm

These are comforting words, and that’s fine, but imagine the embarrassment of everyone in the West when they discover that the Islam of al-Baghdadi and John Georgelas and other jihadis is not radical, but mainstream, and that violent jihad against unbelievers is a constant feature of Islamic history. Here is proof. Also, how can it […]

Mali: Muslims murder 54 in attack on army post, Islamic State claims responsibility
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 04:00 pm

This is a global war in which essentially the entire world has decided that honest analysis of its motivating ideology is wrong, and must never be done, on pain of demonization, ostracism, deplatforming, and worse. Is that any way to win a war? Of course not. “Militants kill 54 in attack on Mali army post, […]

How could Turkey not have known that al-Baghdadi was just a few miles from the Turkish border?
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 03:00 pm

Clueless or complicit? The abundant evidence of Turkey aiding Islamic State jihadis points to the latter. “Why did Turkish intelligence fail at finding Baghdadi?,” by Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, November 3, 2019: …How did Turkish intelligence not know what was going on within shouting distance of its border? How did a NATO ally as […]

The caliphate continues: Muslims in Somalia and Egypt pledge allegiance to the group’s new top dog
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 02:00 pm

Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi may have gotten the caliph job over Abdullah Qardash, who was named as al-Baghdadi’s successor in previous reports, precisely because he is a Quraishi, that is, a member of the Quraish tribe of Mecca, to which Muhammad also belonged. That is a requirement for the caliphate. In any case, the jihad […]

Canada: Muslim voting guide says Trudeau’s blackface OK because of his stand against “Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 12:00 pm

The Muslim voting guide says that Trudeau’s “blackface antics are OK because of his public stance against Islamophobia.” The principle is always and everywhere the same: the societal rules that are used to destroy dissenters from the Leftist agenda never apply to Leftists. It’s akin to the fact that Communist Party leaders, and the likes […]

Sweden: Six Muslims, including imam, ordered deported for “radicalization,” but may not be deported
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 11:00 am

“But it is uncertain if any of the men will be able to be deported because they risk persecution in their home country.” And that is much, much more important than the risk they pose to Swedish citizens. “Sweden expels imams and associates, citing radicalisation concerns,” by Jack Dutton, The National, October 31, 2019: Sweden […]

Why Is Turkey Still In NATO?
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Nov 04, 2019 10:00 am

At Jihad Watch we keep asking that question. Let’s refresh our memories about how Turkey has behaved under Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He has carried on a […]

Turkey’s Interior Minister: “We will send the captured Daesh [Islamic State] members to their countries”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 04, 2019 09:00 am

The captured Islamic State jihadis don’t believe that European states are their countries at all. They consider themselves to be citizens of the worldwide Islamic umma. When back in Europe, many of them are likely to continue their jihad there. This problem is the responsibility of European leaders, as Soylu says. They admitted large Muslim […]
