In
PJ Lifestyle today I draw five lessons from the strange case of
Muhammad Abdullah Hassan, formerly John Thomas Booker, who recently
wrote: “I am going to wage jihad and hopes that i die.” The story was
overshadowed by Wednesday’s shooting at Fort Hood, but last Monday Fox
News revealed that the FBI and the […]

Why
is the FBI dragging its feet and not producing the requested records
about this wealthy Saudi family? (Pictured is the home they abandoned
suddenly just before 9/11 — a sumptuous mansion in a Florida gated
community.) Could someone high up be implicated in some illegal
activity? Clearly something is happening here, and we don’t […]

It
is a familiar argument at this point: acting against Islamic jihadists
risks “alienating moderate Muslims.” The Times editors put “peaceful” in
brackets ahead of Ibrahim Mounir’s reference to “Muslim Brotherhood
values,” but in reality the Brotherhood’s year in power in Egypt was
anything but peaceful; that year was marked by thuggery against its
opponents, […]

Wael
Al-Zard is praising “Palestinian” women for murdering Israelis and
getting killed in the process, in accord with the Qur’an’s guarantee of
Paradise for those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). One
might almost think that he was being a trifle misogynistic, praising
women for killing themselves, but to let one’s thoughts stray […]

This article is indignant about this plan to have jihadis preach the Friday
sermons in mosques, but that indignation is unlikely to stop the plan.
And in any case, the indignation is tardy and misplaced. The mosques in
Gaza have been preaching jihad terrorism and hatred for Israel for years
now; the only difference this […]

“In
the world today, we’re seeing far too many victims of ethnic and
religiously motivated violence and hate,” says Samantha Power. And that
is true. She notes, according to AP, that “there’s a huge amount to be
done to protect the Muslims still in Bangui who feel very vulnerable.”
Great. But she doesn’t mention the […]

As
this BBC report makes clear, this is likely to be more interfaith
outreach from the Nigerian Islamic jihad group Boko Haram, the Party of
the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. Kidnapping infidels and
releasing them for ransom or killing them, as well as enslaving them if
that option is deemed most […]

Clearly
the Nigerian government has lost control of the situation. It can’t
stop Boko Haram, whose real name is the Party of the People of the
Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad. They can do whatever they wish. And it is
doubtful that their victims will get much help from outside Nigeria, as
the international community […]

She
had “expressed an intention to commit terror acts,” but “had no
concrete plan,” and therefore she walks free. Prosecutors, however,
“claim the 24-year-old had received orders to blow herself up at a
military target in Russia.” If she did, she is free to pursue such plans
now, as she intended to do before. How […]

“Indonesia,
Egypt and United Arab Emirates have banned the film because of scenes
they say contradict Islam.” Qatar, Bahrain, and apparently also Jordan
and Kuwait have also banned the film. A far greater cause for concern is
the self-censorship that the Western media increasingly practices in
regard to things that offend Muslims: for example, the near-universal
[…]

Hassan
Mahati Omar has dedicated his life to understanding Islam properly and
teaching it to others. He has spent years studying the Qur’an and
Sunnah. How did he come to misunderstand the Religion of Peace to which
he has given so many years of study, and to misunderstand it in exactly
the same way as […]

The
Islamic jihadists claim after every atrocity that they are merely
retaliating and exacting revenge for an earlier attack. But the same
question must be asked here that must be asked of the “Palestinian”
jihad against Israel: what would happen if the non-Muslim side stopped
fighting? Non-Muslims would be conquered, there would be wholesale
slaughter, […]
