JIHAD WATCH

 

Why are Biden’s handlers still trying to strike a deal with the rogue Iranian regime? Biden’s handlers are so desperate to erase all traces of the Trump presidency that they’re pursuing a deal with the Iranian mullahs despite the potentially catastrophic cost, and Iran’s increasing aggression and hostility. “The Ingrates of Vienna,” by Matthew Continetti, Washington Free Beacon, August 19, 2022: “Justice Dept. Charges Iranian in Plot to Kill John […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer ‘Long live the Islamist revolution. We will be the masters of France. We will come for all of you, it will be soon.’ Oh, the “Islamophobia”! “A subsidiary of the Sodexo group files a complaint after receiving a letter advocating terrorism,” translated from “Une filiale du groupe Sodexo porte plainte après la réception d’un courrier faisant l’apologie du terrorisme,” by Amaury Bucco, Valeurs Actuelles, August 12, 2022 (thanks to Medforth): A complaint was filed in July by the […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer Oxford prof: Rushdie attack ‘assault on free speech,’ but warns against ‘eagerness to focus on Islamic extremism’ This is the line that the Left has pushed in the media, as well as in intelligence and law enforcement circles, ever since 9/11 (and before that as well): to take much notice of Islamic jihad activity will only fuel “Islamophobic” attacks against innocent Muslims. Therefore, we must not talk about jihad activity. There is […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer US ‘Islamic scholar’ on state-run Iranian TV: Rushdie attack might be Israeli plot to spread ‘Islamophobia’  Kevin Barrett is “an American scholar and political commentator,” according to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s house organ, PressTV. He is also, as this article shows, a paranoid conspiracy nut who sees Jews behind everything. This is no surprise. Barrett is a convert to Islam, and so his hatred, contempt, and fear of Jews has […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer ‘The real Islamophobes those who caution that exercising one’s free speech will set off the assassins’ Katha Pollitt’s words here recall something I used to repeat many years ago: that those who accused me of “Islamophobia” were the real “Islamophobes,” as they assume that to oppose jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women is to “hate Muslims,” as if all Muslims supported jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women.

This New Yorker piece is a good example. Adam Gopnik asserts that “Rushdie should have been equally invulnerable to persecution had he written […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer Jim Jones’ Deadly Social Gospel Jim Jones’ “sect was doomed to failure for it was founded on the lie that religious Socialism can save men,” wrote late Catholic priest and commentator Vincent P. Miceli in his 1981 book, The Antichrist: The Final Campaign Against the Savior. Recently republished by Sophia Institute Press, this volume’s previously examined incisive analysis of leftist […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Andrew Harrod Nasrallah Threatens Israeli Gas Fields It’s comical, really. Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, is so terrified of being killed by Israel that he changes his sleeping arrangements every night. “Sometimes,” he once admitted, “even I don’t know where I am.” Yet here he is, threatening Israel from his Lebanese hideout, warning the Jewish state not to start exploiting gas […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Islamic State jihadi gets life of prison dawah for deaths of hostages The way things are these days, El Shafee Elsheikh could be released after awhile regardless of his life sentence, and by then, what will have been done to disabuse him of his jihadi sentiments? Nothing whatsoever. Any such effort would be “Islamophobic.” If anything, he’ll come out of prison more dangerous than he was when […] Read more 2022-08-21  •  Robert Spencer
