Some time ago I wrote a piece entitled “The Mask Slips in Gaza.” Now the mask is off altogether. The mask has not merely slipped in Gaza. It is entirely off. Jihad, jihad, jihad. Use the word. The Arabs and Muslims are using it, day after day, not least in Gaza. It is a Jihad. […]

Duke prof: Osama bin Laden “a very high-minded and welcome voice in global politics”
Bruce Lawrence is the Duke professor who says that jihad means “being a better student, a better colleague, a better business partner. Above all, to control one’s anger.” Now he has joined to that bit of wisdom the assertion that Osama bin Laden needs to take his place among the world’s statesmen. Unfortunately, were he […]
Dhimmitude at the Boston Globe: Time to talk to Al Qaeda?
The Boston Globe counsels surrender and appeasement in the face of the global jihad. Note also that the Tiny-Minority-of-Extremists talk is out the window: instead, we now hear that Al Qaeda’s “struggle enjoys the rear-guard sympathy of large numbers of Muslims.” The Globe can point that out in the context of appeasement and defeat, but […]

Stalinism at CAIR: photo doctored for Islamic correctness
What happens if a woman shows up for a CAIR photo-op without a hijab? No problem! They’ll just Photoshop one on! These photos were kindly sent to me by Jihad Watch reader Ana. Above is a screenshot of CAIR’s front page when this photo was featured; it has now been taken down, perhaps while the […]

A BU prof takes on media dhimmitude regarding the jihad against Israel. From the Boston Herald: A Boston University history professor has started a media watchdog Web site to grade journalists on their reporting of historic events out of the Middle East, and eventually elsewhere. Richard Landes, a professor of medieval French history, said he […]
‘Fatwa’ forbids relations with Israel
Just in case anyone out there (Hello, State Department!) still thinks that negotiations and concessions will bring peace between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs. The jihad imperative makes that impossible, as do the classic tenets of Islamic law upon which the Palestinian Religious Scholars Society are basing their ruling. From the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to […]
Accepting Islamic peace gestures at face value: A backgrounder
Steven Stalinsky in Jewish World Review (thanks to Ruth King) chronicles how Muslim leaders today live out Muhammad’s dictum that “war is deceit.” The annual United Nations General Assembly serves as an opportunity for world leaders and diverse groups to meet. One such meeting this year includes Pakistan’s president, Pervez Musharraf, reaching out to American […]
Zarqawi declares war on Iraq Shi’ites
Zarqawi edges Iraq closer to civil war, and continues on his path of identifying cooperation with the Americans and the Iraqi government with Islamic apostasy. From Reuters, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: BAGHDAD (Reuters) – A suicide bomber killed 114 people in a crowd of Shi’ite laborers in the bloodiest of a wave of […]
France expels 13,000 illegal immigrants

From the Morocco Times, with thanks to Kemaste: France Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, said that “13,000 undocumented immigrants have been expelled in eight months,” and he is now committed to sending 10,000 more illegal foreigners home before the end of 2005, reported the Moroccan daily […]
