JIHAD WATCH 08/11/2020

Which presidents were the best for America…and which were the worst? Most historians of the American presidency—walking in lockstep with today’s hard-Left academic establishment—favor presidents who were big-government statists and globalists. They dislike presidents who lowered taxes, protected American workers, and avoided getting the United States entangled in foreign conflicts that had nothing to do with protecting the American people. It is through that prism that […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer Ilhan Omar Won’t Get Prosecuted for Immigration Fraud, Showing Who Really Has the Privilege My latest in PJ Media: Here is yet more evidence of the two-tier justice system we have in the United States. A “veteran insider” at the Department of Homeland Security revealed Wednesday that two different federal agencies have investigated Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Ankara) for months, but decided not to prosecute her for immigration fraud, despite […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer Afghanistan: Government to release 400 ‘hard-core’ Taliban prisoners in bid to start peace talks Releasing 400 Taliban jihadis doesn’t herald peace talks, but surrender talks. It has been a foregone conclusion for years that the Taliban would take over Afghanistan after the Americans left, but that is not an argument for keeping American troops in Afghanistan perpetually. The military should focus on making sure that Afghanistan does not and […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan court: 14-year-old Christian girl kidnapped and converted to Islam must remain married to her captor These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the court shares the same assumptions. “Pakistani Court Rules 14-Year-Old Christian Girl Must Remain Married to Muslim Kidnapper,” by John Hayward, Breitbart, August […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer Lebanon: Hizballah’s Nasrallah and His Ally President Aoun Hanged In Effigy Since last October, Lebanese have been out protesting in the streets against the mismanagement and corruption of their political class. Those nonviolent protests were put down violently by Hezbollah bezonians, following the directions of Hassan Nasrallah. In the spring, the coronavirus epidemic took its own toll on the protests, because many were afraid to show […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Turkey: Religious Affairs Ministry says it’s permissible for girls to be married at age nine It would have been surprising if the Diyanet had said anything else. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer Which Lives Matter? Arabs, Turks and Africans should beg Europeans to forgive them for their atrocities in the very recent past. In late June, vandals desecrated the monument to Miguel de Cervantes in San Francisco. Thus Cervantes was turned into a “slave owner.” It is well known that this great writer and brave hidalgo was a slave of […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Alexander Maistrovoy Niger: Muslims ambush and murder eight, including six French tourists, in area popular for its giraffe population No tourists are welcome. They provide only an opportunity to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). That they were aid workers is of no importance. As far as jihadis are concerned, the aid that infidels offer is only an attempt to entice Muslims away from Islam. Accordingly, it should not be received […] Read more 2020-08-10  •  Robert Spencer
