“This is the type of article one might expect to see on the Muslim Brotherhood’s web site. Yet, it was paid for by US taxpayers and it was distributed by Uncle Sam…” So says Shariah Finance Watch, and they’re right. Be sure to read all their excellent observations on this. “Focus on the Little Guy […]

Fitzgerald: Arabia Petraea, or General Petraeus’ Middle East (Part IV): Twenty-Seven Articles (revised edition)
Those who have read the previous articles that have appeared here under the title “Arabia Petraea, or General Petraeus’s Middle East,” (Part I here, Part II here, and Part III here), may possibly not be quite so impressed either with T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, nor with his “Twenty-Seven Articles,” as they might once […]
Going through all these things twice
It’s Groundhog Day! If you haven’t seen the movie, watch the trailer first. And now here is today’s Jihad Watch news: 1. Some jihadis somewhere will blow something up and kill some people. 2. In their public statements they will quote Qur’an, invoke Muhammad, and explain that they did it all to advance Islam. 3. […]
President of Islamic Council of Jamaica endorses death penalty for homosexuality under Sharia law
Chances are, we’ll later be told that this was “taken out of context.” No controversial statement by a Muslim figure has ever been taken in its “proper” context, you know. “Muslim leader blasts gay lifestyle,” by Karyl Walker for the Jamaica Observer, February 1: President of the Islamic Council of Jamaica, Mustafa Muhammad, says he […]
French Catholic bishop on burqa ban: “If we want Christian minorities in Muslim majority countries to enjoy all their rights, we should in our country respect the rights of all believers to practice their faith”
The main problem with Bishop Santier’s comments is a false sense of equivalence between the burqa issue and the plight of Christians in Muslim countries. In the former case, a very small number of Muslim women may be restricted from concealing their faces in the interest of gender equality and public safety. Can Muslims in […]
Barrels filled with explosives wash up on Israeli beaches
There is, perhaps, a certain Wile E. Coyote-ish element to this particular jihadist operation. No word on whether, as the assailants paddled away, they shouted “Allahu Acme!” “Explosives wash up on Israeli beaches,” from CNN, February 1: Jerusalem (CNN) — Two barrels filled with explosives washed up on beaches in Israel on Monday, according to […]
Father of accused NY jihad plotter indicted for his role in plot
The family that prays together, slays together. Note that this AP report makes no mention of Islam or jihad. The motive for this plot is completely out of the picture. Imagine a news story about the Duquesne Spy Ring in World War II — a network of German spies in the U.S. — that never […]
Al-Qaeda offers to aid Nigerian Muslims in their persecution of Christians
Solidarity within the umma, united against Infidels. “North Africa Qaeda offers to help Nigerian Muslims,” from Reuters, February 1 (thanks to all who sent this in): An al Qaeda group in North Africa has offered to give Nigerian Muslims training and weapons to fight Christians in the West African country, where more than 460 people […]
Palestinian TV: “The Prophet says: ‘You shall fight the Jews and kill them'”
Evidence that the genocidal hadith, in which Muhammad says that in the end times Muslims will hunt down Jews and murder them, is taken seriously — and that Mahmoud Abbas was lying about what goes on in Palestinian mosques. “PATV sermon: ‘Jews are enemies of Allah and humanity – Kill them,” by Itamar Marcus and […]
Jihad: The Political Third Rail — Inaugural event of the Freedom Defense Initiative!
Over one-third of the attempted and successful Jihad attacks on American soil since 9/11 took place in 2009. This sharp uptick comes at a time when conservative organizations and media figures are talking about jihad and its root causes in Islamic texts and teachings less frequently and less honestly than at any time since 9/11.
