US Supplies Fatah With Arms, Rice Decries “Occupation”
US giving arms to the Palestinians to try to bolster Abbas’ power, because he tells Condoleezza Rice just what she wants to hear. And Rice herself shows that she has learned her propaganda lessons very well. By Ezra HaLevi & Hana Levi Julian for Israel National News, with thanks to Rosie: The Fatah faction received […]
US plans sale of aircraft parts to Iran
No wonder the Thug-In-Chief in Tehran is so confident: he sees the suicidal madness that clouds minds in Washington. Or is this some grandiosely naive attempt to win the hearts and minds of the mullahs? From Middle East Newsline, with thanks to Lori: WASHINGTON [MENL] — The United States, amid its campaign for international sanctions, […]
UK: Sack teacher in veil row, says minister
A bit of anti-dhimmitude amid Lunatic Britain from Phil Woolas, the government’s “race and faith minister.” “Sack teacher in veil row, says minister,” by Thomas Wagner for AP, with thanks to A Girl Scout: A British government minister has joined an increasingly bitter debate over the rights of Muslim women to wear face veils in […]
Jihad against Pope’s website fails
Islamohackers fail in their attempt to convert the Vatican website to Islam. May their brothers in jihad likewise fail in their jihadist endeavors in Italy, Europe as a whole, and elsewhere. And the Pope, of course, is far too clever to push that button. An update on this story: “Muslim hackers fail to crash Pope’s […]
One in 10 Indonesian Muslims back violent jihad; 20% support jihad group
If the ten percent figure is correct, that’s 22,000,000 people who support jihad actions such as the Bali bombings, and nearly forty-five million who support Jemaah Islamiah. And that’s just those who are willing to tell a pollster something that they would know the government would not likely be happy to hear. Tiny Minority of […]
British General: Iraq democracy project “naive,” says “we need to face up to the Islamist threat”
I wrote an article in early 2003, before troops from America and Britain entered Iraq, explaining why the democracy project was naive. (See it here — I wrote the “No” section). Hugh Fitzgerald has tirelessly and brilliantly explained here at Jihad Watch why the democracy project is doomed and is not our best defense against […]
Scrutinizing Muhammad’s example and teachings

Fjordman: Recommendations for the West
Fjordman responds to critics who say that he writes good analyses, but doesn’t say anything about what should be done about the problems at hand, by offering some superb Recommendations for the West at Gates of Vienna. In doing so, as you’ll see, he often draws upon the recommendations made here at Jihad Watch by […]
Reform or deception?
I have often been harshly criticized for supposedly harming the prospects of Muslim moderates by pointing out weaknesses in their presentations. Evidently we’re supposed to take all protestations of moderation and reform at face value, despite incidents of transparent deception (e.g, Fawaz Damra) and statements that are flatly contradicted by numerous Islamic texts. Yet it […]
