JIHAD WATCH 07/06/2014

If this turns out to be true, it will be a severe setback for the nascent caliphate — but with the Islamic State’s hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against it, surely not an unexpected one. Succession in the historical caliphates was often a haphazard and violent affair, and almost certainly will be in this […]

His call has thus far met largely with scoffing outside of his own domains, and perhaps quietly inside them as well. It will only gain traction if he is able to make his state a viable one — a possibility that analysts and Muslim leaders are dismissing today, saying that a state born in terrorism […]

The photographs of the destruction “were part of an online statement titled ‘Demolishing shrines and idols in the state of Nineveh.’” Ordinarily under Islamic law churches and other non-Muslim houses of worship of the “People of the Book” would be allowed to exist as long as the non-Muslims paid jizya to the Islamic state. Shi’ite […]

The existence of jinns is taken for granted in many Qur’an passages, and for numerous Muslims that is enough to establish that they exist. In the Qur’an a group of jinns say upon hearing the Qur’an recited: “And among us are Muslims, and among us are the unjust” (72:14). It is no surprise, from the […]

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Yasin Bhatkal thinks that he was performing an act of righteousness in the Mumbai jihad murders. He thinks that what he did was in accord with the commands of his god, and pleasing to his god. Non-Muslim analysts do not like to […]

As noted in a previous report, “A sovereign sukuk is the centrepiece of Prime Minister David Cameron’s bid to position London as a leading hub for Islamic finance, as competition heats up with financial centres in the Middle East and Asia.” This is what is behind the Cameron government’s utterly supine response to Islamic supremacist […]

The thugs at the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) suffer another setback. They will, however, never give up in their quest to destroy every American who stands between them and their goals. They relentlessly smear every foe of jihad terror and unapologetically attempt to intimidate Americans into thinking that there is something wrong with […]

In my latest at PJ Media I discuss what is at stake in the global jihadist challenge to freedom: Another Independence Day is upon us, and it always bears repeating that the struggle for freedom has not changed, and will not change. It is the eternal struggle over whether human beings will live free, or […]

The most ominous aspect of the Benghazi jihad attack for the long term health of the United States as a free society was the Obama Administration’s desire to blame it all on our freedom  of speech. Obama’s declaration that “the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam” is essentially a […]

This may be an indication that the Islamic State is unable to take Baghdad at this point; if it could, why bother with these harassing attacks? On the other hand, this attack could have been mounted by a freelance jihadist whose quest for the virgins was unrelated to the Islamic State’s aspirations. “Suicide bomber kills […]
