By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 06:40 pm

UPDATE: Another base has also been targeted. And the photo accompanying this photo is apparently from Gaza, although the Iranian regime put it out claiming it was of this attack. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad. —– This will be used, and probably is already being used, to buttress the claim that Trump provoked war by […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 05:00 pm

Australia: Muslim teen laughs after appearing in court for setting grass fire
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 04:00 pm

Australia has just arrested a number of arsonists who are accused of setting the wildfires that are ravaging the country. Could they have anything to do with the fact that jihadis have identified setting fires as a tool of jihad? This has been a threat for years. “‘Unleash Hell’: New Al Qaeda magazine describes in […]

93% of Muslim Public Officials Would Not Express Support for the Constitution They Swore to Uphold
By Stephen M. Kirby on Jan 07, 2020 03:00 pm

It’s more than just about having three Muslims in Congress. I think symbolically it has great value, but I won’t rest until 2020 we have five more members of Congress; 2022 and 24, we have ten more Muslims in Congress. In 2030 we may have about 30, 35 Muslims in Congress.  Then we’re talking about […]

Sweden: Municipality offers free driving lessons in Arabic for Muslim migrant women while closing homes for the aged
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 02:00 pm

Those who think it monstrous for the Oskarshamn Municipality to favor Muslim migrants over Swedish citizens will, of course, be demonized as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” Meanwhile, this is a glimpse into the future of Sweden and of Europe in general. What do you think Sweden will be like in ten years, or twenty? “Swedish Taxpayers […]

New York Times features Iranian student saying Soleimani “made me feel safer,” was “like a security umbrella”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 01:00 pm

The New York Times admits below that many celebrated Soleimani’s death, but it chose to highlight a student claiming: “Knowing General Suleimani was out there made me feel safer.

UK: Imam tells Muslims that “we aspire to be like” Soleimani
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 12:00 pm

The Mirror says that this man is a “British” imam, but he would likely deny, if he was being honest, that he is British, and would claim citizenship in the global umma. How many such imams of this kind can Britain tolerate and remain a free society? “Brit Imam says Muslims should ‘aspire to be […]

2016: Iran threatens to turn Tel Aviv, Haifa to “dust.” 2020: Iran threatens to turn Tel Aviv, Haifa to “dust.”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 11:00 am

The Democratic Party and the Left in general are in a fine froth against President Trump, claiming that the killing of Iranian Quds Force top dog Qassem Soleimani will lead to World War III. They seem to imagine that Iran was favorably disposed, or at least neutral, toward the United States before this, but now […]

Pakistan Rejects US Government Charge on Religious Freedom
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 07, 2020 10:00 am

The American government announced in mid-December that Pakistan is a country “of particular concern” given its record on religious freedom. The Pakistani government reacted angrily, and claimed that the Americans were “arbitrary” in their judgement. Apparently Islamabad failed to notice the mountain of material that the American government has acquired to support its “arbitrary” decision. […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 07, 2020 09:00 am

Note in the video how the onus for keeping the peace falls on journalist David Menzies because he called Qassem Soleimani a “terrorist.” Menzies attended a vigil in Toronto, where Iranian regime loyalists mourned the death of Qassem Soleimani and defended and promoted the Islamic Republic of Iran — global terrorist activities and all.

Christmas in the age of jihad
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2020 07:45 am

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 […]
