JIHAD WATCH 08/23/2014

UK media darling Mehdi Hasan frequently dissembles about how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah to justify hatred, violence and supremacism, and this piece is a particularly clever example, chock full of his trademark diversions and sleights of hand. Here he extrapolates from the apparent fact that two jihad […]

There needs to be an investigation of the United Nations. As I wrote on July 29: “There needs to be an investigation of the UNRWA over this. Could it really keep happening without any UN officials knowing what was going on? The problem is, who can investigate the United Nations? Not Obama’s investigative or intelligence […]

“we are in your state/ we are in your cities / we are in your streets. You are our goals anywhere.” “we are here #america near our #target sooooooooooooon.” The Islamic State is doing all it can to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Photo implies ISIS threat to Chicago,” […]

The new Egyptian government had pledged to rebuild the churches, but they may face too much public opposition actually to be able to do that. After all, the Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Egypt haven’t all vanished into thin air, and rebuilding the churches is just the kind of thing that could provoke them. “One Year […]

Bigger than the Islamic State. Bigger than Boko Haram. Bigger than al-Qaeda. Bigger than al-Shabaab. Bigger, of course, than Hamas and Hizballah and Islamic Jihad. Bigger than the genocidal anti-Semites of the Iranian mullahcracy. As far as the Islamic supremacist Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR is concerned, none of those jihadis are as big a […]

Where did these Americans learn their understanding of Islam? We all know, on pain of charges of “Islamophobia,” that no Muslims in the U.S., none, agree with the Islamic State, or want to bring Sharia Westward, or have any desire to restore the caliphate. None, you greasy Islamophobe. So how did these Americans come to […]

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) But it’s OK — he expressed “remorse,” so maybe he doesn’t believe in that passage of the Qur’an anymore. “Sydney man jailed for threatening to slit Commonwealth Officer’s throat,” by Jamelle Wells, ABC News Australia, August 22, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth): A Sydney man has […]

“Aides said the golf game did not reflect the depth of his grief over Mr. Foley.” Oh, then it’s OK. The New York Times does its best to cover for Obama in this piece, but it is a losing battle. Cheney was right that Obama would “rather be on the golf course than he would […]

Kudos to Fr. Jim Sichko and the parishioners of St. Mark’s Church. The Islamic State painted the ن on the door of the homes of Christians in Mosul to mark them for extortion (as per Qur’an 9:29) or extermination. Christians and all free people worldwide should be standing in solidarity with those persecuted Christians, but […]

“We’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable and self reliant Iraq with a representative government that was elected by its people. We’re building a new partnership between our nations and we are ending a war not with a final battle but with a final march toward home. This is an extraordinary achievement.” — Barack Obama, December […]

Many times we have seen both Sunnis and Shi’ites attack mosques of the opposing group, and murder many people. Yet the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad gets little notice in the international media or from the global “human rights community.” They are much more focused on “Islamophobia,” although “Islamophobes” have never killed anyone in any mosque. “Forty Killed […]

They are simply implementing Islamic law in the Islamic State. The caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, maintained that the punishment of stoning for adultery (this story doesn’t specify the method of punishment, but the outcome of the punishment is the same in any case) was originally in the Qur’an: ‘Umar said, “I am […]

James Foley’s parents cannot be faulted for this naivete. After all, the official U.S. government line is that Islam is utterly peaceful and benign. This group calls itself “the Islamic State,” and is, of course, “extremist,” but the Foleys may have hoped that they would ultimately recall some of the vaunted peaceful, tolerant, benevolent and […]

It takes a particular quality of chutzpah to claim that there is no evidence to substantiate this threat just as Islamic jihadists behead James Foley, threaten to drown the U.S. in blood, and continue to advance not only in Iraq but in Nigeria and elsewhere. “It is instructive that similar issues about Australian troops travelling […]
