Islamic apologist Eboo Patel here retails a few Islamic traditions that involve Muslims protecting dhimmis — which is understandable, since the dhimma itself is a contract of “protection,” in which the non-Muslims submit to Islamic hegemony and are denied certain rights in exchange for a general guarantee that they will not be killed. But if […]

Two “New Jersey men” plead guilty to trying to join al-Qaeda group
Jersey boys What is it about New Jersey? “Two New Jersey Men Plead Guilty to Trying to Join Al Qaeda Group,” from FoxNews.com, March 3 (thanks to Sr. Soph): Two New Jersey men have pleaded guilty to charges that they tried to join an Al Qaeda-affiliated group overseas. Mohamed Mahmood Alessa and Carlos Eduardo Almonte […]
Frankfurt Airport murderer a “devout Muslim” who worked at the airport
Because not to have hired him would have been “Islamophobic.” But was any effort made, however imperfect such an effort would inevitably have been, to determine his sentiments toward the jihad and the kuffar? Any effort at all? Of course not. That, too, would have been “Islamophobic.” “Airport shooting suspect says he acted alone,” by […]
Iraq: Jihad-martyrdom bomber strikes soldiers collecting paychecks, murders eight
As the march toward a stable, democratic Iraq proceeds apace. “Suicide bomber kills 8 in western Iraq,” by Qassim Abdul-Zahra for The Associated Press, March 3 (thanks to Twostellas): BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber struck a group of soldiers collecting their paychecks Thursday in a western Iraqi city, killing eight people, police said.

Muslims equate criticism with hate: Denounce plans to investigate domestic terrorism
More whining and claiming of victim status, and refusal to deal with the question of jihad and Islamic supremacist activity among Muslims in the U.S. So drearily predictable, and yet no one in the mainstream media, government or law enforcement ever calls them on it. “Muslims equate criticism with hate: Denounce plans to investigate domestic […]
“The Obama administration mistakenly fixates on the ‘violent’ aspect of violent Islamic extremism as though the terrorists consider violence an end in itself”
The Obama Administration’s misapprehensions in this regard all stem ultimately from an unwillingness to examine the belief-system of the jihadists honestly, and to deal with the implications of such an examination. “EDITORIAL: Obama is enabling jihad,” from the Washington Times, March 2: Al Qaeda and Iran are cheering on the ongoing turmoil in the Middle […]
“As it is with Edward Said’s followers, Spencer’s fan base now betrays itself as an assortment of specimens from the Upper Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic era. They are yesterday”s men. They are zombies.”
Here come the Jihad Watch readers Greetings, zombies! Terry Glavin writes so elegantly and compellingly, it is seems almost a shame to disagree with him. Unfortunately, expressing something beautifully does not make it so. “Middle East myths drop like dominos,” by Terry Glavin in the National Post, February 28 (thanks to Gilles): […] Along with […]
Predictable: Pakistani paper suggests assassination of Christian official could be work of Mossad, CIA, or Indian intel agency
Never mind that jihadists were quick to claim responsibility. The handy thing about a good conspiracy theory is that even evidence against it only becomes further “proof” of the depth of the conspiracy. It’s much easier to blame Israel, India, and the U.S. than to admit that Pakistan is descending into an earthly hell of […]
Farrakhan: Jews Behind Mideast Crisis
An unsigned (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) editorial at FrontPage this morning examines Louis Farrakhan’s latest antisemitic rant: Louis Farrakhan, the reliably anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, claimed Tuesday at the Nation’s annual meeting in the Chicago area that Jews and Zionists were “trying to push the US into war” and “” in a […]
Spencer: Jihad in Frankfurt is the same old story yet again
In “Jihad in Frankfurt” in FrontPage this morning, I discuss how it’s the same old story one more time: […] The script has long been written. The characters are cast. With every new jihad plot, all the media, government and law enforcement officials, and Islamic leaders need to do is fill in the blanks. In […]
