Said one Pakistani army spokesman: “For quite some time we have been highlighting that there are safe havens across the border. Something should be done about these” That sounds oddly familiar. “Hundreds of Afghan-based militants launch raid into Pakistan,” by Mian Saeed-ur-Rehman for Reuters, July 4: KHAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – At least 300 militants crossed […]

“Pro-Palestinian Islamic extremists” bomb Egypt-Israel gas pipeline made possible by Camp David accords
Cutting off their proverbial noses to spite their faces, by destroying infrastructure and wasting valuable energy to make a point. Jihad causes poverty. This episode also rather puts a dent in recent attempts to cast Islam and Sharia as better stewards of the environment. “Sinai: explosion hits gas pipeline built thanks to Egypt-Israel accords,” from […]
Afghanistan: Muslims behead convert from Islam to Christianity, warn other converts of “dire consequences” for leaving Islam
“Whoever changes his religion should be executed.” Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, said that. Note also that these murderers recited passages from the Qur’an. This is the sort of story that gives the lie to the common claim by Islamic apologists in the West that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy. But where are […]
Australia: Pro-Sharia, anti-democracy Islamic group recruiting in universities, calling on Muslims to target Australian troops
Hizb ut-Tahrir wants Islamic rule “from Indonesia to Tunisia,” and everywhere else, of course. Doesn’t Australia have sedition laws? “Muslim group active at Australian universities,” by Tim Vollmer in The Daily Telegraph, July 5: UNIVERSITIES are being targeted in a recruitment drive by a radical Islamic group that urges Muslims to reject democracy and target […]
Imam who called for killing of gays and lesbians decries “Islamophobia”
Maybe if Bilal Philips stopped calling for people to be murdered in accord with Islamic law, he would find “Islamophobia” on the wane. “Imam decries Islamophobia while Pride battles homophobia,” from the Globe and Mail, July 3: For some Pride veterans, it might have been a bit of a déja vu moment: As thousands of […]
The choice: Independence or slavery
I have posted this comparison before on Jihad Watch, on earlier Independence Days, but it always bears repeating and keeping in mind, for the nature of the struggle has not changed, and will not change. It is the eternal struggle over whether human beings will live free, or willingly submit to slavery. I see slaves […]
The Mahdi arrested in Mecca!
How did Saudi authorities know this man was not the Mahdi? Muhammad said: “The Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He will fill the earth will equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years.” (Sahih Muslim […]
Spencer: Obama Reaches Out to the Muslim Brotherhood
In FrontPage this morning I discuss Obama’s latest warm and welcoming gesture to Islamic supremacists: The Obama administration is set to begin formal contacts with the Muslim Brotherhood, a group dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.” This news came in a Reuters report […]
California: Manufacturer of surveillance drones increases security over jihadist threats
An update on this story: AeroVironment was apparently named in a “hit list” of targets for freelance jihad attacks posted in an online jihadist forum. It is probably not in the corporate culture to visit the forum to post a retort befitting a company whose products help the military watch the enemy: “Here’s looking at […]
2011 Dearborn Arab Festival: Muslims chanting “Allahu akbar” harass, bully, threaten Christian preacher
Video courtesy David Wood, who notes: “The crowd gets increasingly hostile throughout the video.” Note the calls for the preacher to be arrested and claims that he hasn’t given Islam proper “respect,” eliciting cheers from the crowd. Remember, this is in Michigan. There is a new threatening and menacing element spreading in America, and it […]
