JIHAD WATCH 11/26/2019

Over a week before release, The Palestinian Delusion is “#1 New Release in African History” (Yes, “African”)
By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 06:00 pm

Where is Israel again? But no matter. Amazon, probably as part of its efforts to censor books that dissent from the Leftist agenda, has always played fast and loose with the categories into which it places my books. Last year, I released The History of Jihad, a 1,400-year history of a critically important aspect of […]

Ilhan Omar accused of being recruited and funded by Qatar, and of passing sensitive information to Iran
By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 05:00 pm

Maybe it isn’t true. It’s testimony from a Kuwait-born businessman, apparently without corroborating evidence thus far. But if Ilhan Omar really were an agent of Qatar and passing information to Iran, would she be acting any differently from how she behaves now? “Ilhan Omar ‘working for Qatar’, Florida court hears,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Jerusalem […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 03:00 pm

Will German authorities monitor this woman in order to make sure she doesn’t teach her children to pursue jihad activity against non-Muslims in Germany? How can they? They can’t watch her 24 hours a day. But the Islamic State has repeatedly called upon Muslims to kill civilians in Western countries. If she is discovered to […]

Texas: Muslima charged with conspiring with her family to kill her sister for converting to Christianity
By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 02:00 pm

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]

Pakistan summons Norway’s ambassador over burning of Quran: “Hurt the sentiments of 1.3 billion Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 01:00 pm

No one in the West seems to be able to grasp these distinctions anymore, but even though one may object to burning the Qur’an (I do; I’d rather people read and study it), it is a matter of the freedom of expression. If someone burns the Bible, or the Bhagavad Gita, or The Adventures of […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 12:00 pm

When have we ever seen thousands of Muslims anywhere protesting against the alleged hijacking of their peaceful religion by jihad terrorists? Right, never.

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Nov 25, 2019 10:00 am

Hanan Ashrawi, the unpleasant-looking Palestinian propagandist and apparatchik, for decades a member of the PLO’s Executive Committee, who has somehow managed to amass several million dollars on her Palestinian salary, and describes herself modestly as “Fiercely independent.

Egypt: Muslim demands Christians not sit outside their house, stabs them when they refuse
By Robert Spencer on Nov 25, 2019 08:00 am

When they refused, he considered it permissible to attack them, as they had forfeited the protection that submission allows for. “Coptic Christian Family Attacked […]
