JIHAD WATCH 01/04/2020

70 Years. Endless Peace Talks. No Peace. Find Out Why.
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 06:00 pm

Ever since the modern State of Israel was founded in 1948, and even before that, there have been attempts to negotiate a peace settlement that would enable Israelis and their neighbors to live side-by-side in an atmosphere of harmony and mutual tolerance. Presidents, Kings, Premiers, dictators, strongmen, weaklings — all of them and more gave […]

Major Strasser: Are you one of those people who cannot imagine the Germans in their beloved Paris? Rick: It’s not particularly my beloved Paris. Heinz: Can you imagine us in London?

Security giant and telecoms provider sued over alleged ‘protection payments’ to Taliban jihadis in Afghanistan
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 04:00 pm

This is the very definition of dhimmitude. The non-Muslim enters the dhimma, or contract of protection, and pays money to the Muslims in exchange for the right to live as a non-Muslim, as long as he submits to Islamic hegemony. “G4S and MTN sued over alleged ‘protection payments’ to terrorists in Afghanistan,” by Elliot Smith, […]

Reykjavik’s Prikið Kaffihús no longer employs Sindri Geirsson, who poisoned Robert Spencer
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 03:00 pm

Here is an update on the case of my poisoning in Iceland. Back in 2017, after speaking to a crowd of 500 people in Reykjavik, Iceland (which, given Iceland’s population, would be the equivalent of speaking to a crowd of 500,000 people in the United States), I went to the Bar Ananas in Reykjavik for […]

NY synagogue attacker’s former stepfather says attacker “would go to the mosque and pray. He is still a Muslim”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 02:00 pm

“He added: ‘He considered himself a Muslim, but he didn’t practice…He didn’t pray five times a day. He didn’t do the dietary supplements. He went through the process. He would go to the mosque and pray. He is still a Muslim.’ He thinks it’s possible that Thomas’s religious beliefs ‘played some type of part’ in […]

Paris: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and wearing fake explosive vest stabs four, cops say motive not established
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 01:30 pm

“The victims are believed to have been targeted at random and a motive has not yet been established.” Yeah, it’s a real mystery. In other news, a large number of Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt said the pilots’ motives were unclear, and cautioned against Japanophobia. An update on this story. “‘Terrorist’ knifeman wearing […]

Rose McGowan apologizes to Iran for killing of Soleimani, says “we are being held hostage by a terrorist regime”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 01:00 pm

The political and media elites, as well as their airheaded mouthpieces in the entertainment industry, largely constitute a traitor class that hates America and wants to see it fail. We have come a long, long way from Bogie and Jimmy Stewart and the rest making movies in support of the defense of the United States. […]

2015: “Obama likes Soleimani, and admires his work,” says Arab Muslim countries should be “more like Iran”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 12:00 pm

As always, on the side of America’s enemies. Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of numerous Americans. That makes him a “revered” figure to the Leftist establishment. “Obama Strikes a Deal–With Qassem Suleimani,” by Lee Smith, Hudson Institute, July 14, 2015: According to the terms of the Iran deal announced in Vienna on Tuesday, U.N.

Soleimani killing: Russians, Europeans enraged, Pompeo says “Americans in the region are much safer today”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 11:00 am

These are entirely predictable reactions. The idea has become almost universally accepted that we must avoid confronting our enemies because doing so will only provoke them. The fact that they were already at war with us doesn’t seem to register. “Iran’s top general Soleimani killed in US drone strike,” by Tara John, Julia Hollingsworth and […]

Soleimani helped plan Benghazi jihad massacre of American diplomats UPDATE: 2016 commission found he didn’t
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 10:30 am

UPDATE: Accuracy In Media’s Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi found that he was not involved. We can hope that soon the Islamic Republic will fall and that its archives will be opened, so that this can be definitively established one way or the other. ———- Another reason why Leftists are howling with rage and grief today.

Mahmoud Abbas Wants to  – Kinda, Sorta – Hold Elections
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 03, 2020 10:00 am

Mahmoud Abbas is the “democratically elected” president of the Palestinian Authority. The first democratic election he took part in was in 2005, when he was elected to a four-year term as President. It was also, unfortunately, the last democratic election he took part in, for in January 2009, when his four-year term ran out, he […]

Paris: Man stabs four random passersby, one is seriously injured
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 09:30 am

If this turns out to be yet another jihad attack, as is likely, the world will yawn. We are growing accustomed to this. As Sadiq Khan said, it’s part and parcel of living in a big city. “Paris stabbing: Man ‘neutralised’ by police in Villejuif,” BBC, January 3, 2020: French police have shot dead a […]

Obama welcomed leader of attack on US embassy in Baghdad to the White House in 2011
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 09:00 am

This is what happens when you insist that Islam is a religion of peace and demonize and marginalize those who point out that it is not. In such cases, one’s blinkers will prevent one from noting or caring about the beliefs and goals of the people you’re dealing with, and you will end up taking […]

Iran’s al-Quds Force Chief Killed; U.S. Foreign Policy Establishment Hardest Hit
By Robert Spencer on Jan 03, 2020 08:00 am

My latest in PJ Media: Demonstrating that it learned nothing from the backlash after it called ISIS top dog Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi an “austere religious scholar,” the Washington Post called Qasem Soleimani, who was killed today in a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad, Iran’s “most revered military leader.” If Soleimani, who as head of the Iranian […]
