JIHAD WATCH 06/28/2014

Where did Faruq learn about Islam? Are law enforcement officials going to wave away such questions by saying yet again that he was “radicalized” on the Internet? Faruq is clearly a convert to Islam. Converts to Islam seem to be especially susceptible to jihadist appeals. What are U.S. Muslim organizations doing to prevent this? Why, […]

Let’s see: we know that it couldn’t be that the jihadis think that Islamic texts and teachings justify violence and warfare against unbelievers (and apostates and heretics). And we know it couldn’t be that Sunnis in Iraq were never going to acquiesce to Shi’ite rule, and that ultimately their resentments boiled over into all-out jihad. […]

On Twitter today, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant is heavily promoting the hashtag “#CalamityWillBefallUS.” The account from which these are taken is “Prophet’s Khilafa,” which bills itself thusly: “This account is dedicated to spreading the #NEWS of #Islamic_State_Of_Iraq_And_Sham\#ISIS to the #English speaking audience.”

If the British government won’t enforce Sharia, some Muslims are all too willing to enforce it themselves. But they need to be patient. The way things are going, the British government will be doing this sort of work before too long. “Muslim man murders pregnant prostitute because she was working near a mosque,” by Julian […]

This afternoon I was on Ed Berliner’s Midpoint on Newsmax TV, discussing the jihad in Iraq and Syria and what the U.S. can and cannot, and should and shouldn’t, do about it.

There should indeed be no demonization of Muslims in Scotland, and the actions of one individual should indeed not reflect upon an entire community. The statements by Salmond and Stewart, however, reflect the success of the years-long campaign by Muslim groups in the West to portray themselves as victims of counter-terror efforts. The demand that […]

He “never, ever” was radical but he read the Qur’an and believed it, and there was no program at his mosque or any other mosque designed to teach young Muslims why the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’s understanding of Islam was wrong, despite the fact that Muslims in the West say they reject […]

We’re constantly told that Muslims in the West abhor jihad terrorism and reject the understanding of Islam that gives rise to it. Yet jihad terrorists base their appeal to peaceful Muslims on teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. And the jihad that is raging now in Iraq and Syria is drawing many Muslims from Western […]

He was charged. They weren’t. He is, quite rightly, claiming discrimination. “Mr. Scissons sold them live sheep — what they choose to do with them after that point is really up to them.” So why weren’t the Muslims who actually illegally slaughtered the sheep charged? Would that have offended the multicultural sensibilities of Canadian authorities? […]

The world will little note nor long remember the suffering of Christians in Iraq or other Muslim countries. As long as no “Islamophobia” is being committed, all is well. “50,000 Assyrians Flee Fighting in North Iraq,” AINA, June 16, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace) (AINA) — Nearly all of the population of Qaraqosh, […]

In FrontPage today I discuss the latest in willful ignorance. The denial of the reality of jihad is thicker than ever, even as jihadis advance around the world. And it endangers us all. Former CIA officer John Maguire revealed this week that the CIA was blindsided by the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the […]

A message apparently from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (thanks to Jenan Moussa). I have no information about its derivation or authenticity, but it doesn’t say anything that Islamic jihadists haven’t said before. 1 إن قصفت أمريكا العراق فهذا يعني أن كل مواطن أمريكي هدف مشروع لنا .

“‘They are not excused for being non-Muslim,’ it said, adding that ‘anyone living in this country should follow the laws of the Kingdom, including respecting religious sentiments.’” When Jews or Christians fast, they do not demand that others around them also fast, or refrain from eating in their presence. This is, in other words, a […]

One would hope that even in this age of Obama, Meriam Ibrahim can safely get out of Sudan now that she is in the US Embassy. Still, free people and those who oppose Sharia can breathe easy only when she is out of the country. “Sudanese woman Meriam Ibrahim ‘safe and well’ in US embassy,” […]
