Jihad Watch readers especially are encouraged to forward me any stories they think are applicable for inclusion in the monthly batch of anecdotes, at the following email address: ri_christian_persecution@yahoo.com.

Obama’s Iftar guest list omitted attendees with links to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood
But they were there. ISNA has admitted ties to both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. “Obama’s Iftar guest list omits controversial attendees,” by Neil Munro in the Daily Caller, August 11 (thanks to all who sent this in): The White House’s published guest list for this year’s Ramadan Iftar dinner was much shorter than previous […]
Uganda: Father tortures daughter for converting from Islam to Christianity
Muhammad said, “If anyone changes his religion, kill him.” All Susan Ithungu’s father did was torture her. He must be a moderate. Seriously, however, evidently Beya Baluku, Susan’s father, belongs to the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence (madhhab), which differs from its three Sunni counterparts in teaching that a female apostate should not be executed, […]
Pro-freedom lawyer David Yerushalmi responds to New York Times smear piece
It’s a Saul Alinsky tactic from Rules for Radicals: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” In other words, zero in on an enemy, isolate him, demonize him, marginalize him, and silence him. The hard-Left mainstream media and its Islamic supremacist allies are using this tactic with increasing frequency. They’ve used this […]
Newspeak bulletin from Malaysia: Church invasion wasn’t a “raid,” but an “inspection”
Faced with intense scrutiny for what turned out to be an unpopular act that they had probably figured on carrying out with impunity, the Jais, or Selangor Islamic Religious Department, continues to split semantic hairs on exactly what its police force did at Damansara Utama Methodist Church. Never mind the earlier reported words defending the […]
Iran: Surprise! Your dearly departed relative was a Muslim, because we said so
Too late for a deathbed conversion? No problem! Islamic supremacists are standing by to “help!” As bizarre as this case seems, we have seen similar ones in Turkey and Malaysia. Two apparent motives in this case are the desire to deny the existence of the Baha’i movement in Iran at all, as well as to […]
Pakistan’s Red Mosque imam wants to “Talibanize” the country
You may remember Maulana Abdul Aziz as the cleric who tried to escape in a burqa when Pakistan moved to put the Red Mosque out of business in 2007. Despite the lengthy battle it took to retake the mosque complex from the jihadists holed up inside (the ones who didn’t flee in burqas), the Pakistani […]
Egypt promises “anti-discrimination” law, but…
The generality of the language seems to leave plenty of loopholes for abuse or selective implementation. As was the case with the proposed law on places of worship, this law looks equitable on paper, but for practical purposes, it appears dismally short on substantive protections for non-Muslims. Indeed, the language of the law as quoted […]
Spencer and Ezra Levant discuss the London riots
Today on SunTV’s The Source with Ezra Levant, I discuss how jihadis are trying to take advantage of the London riots. Many thanks to the ever-superb Blazing Cat Fur for the video.
“We ask the brothers who are fluent in the English language to write a number of inciting sentences”
Islamic supremacists in Britain loving the violence and hoping to provoke some of their own. More on this story. “Would-be terrorists looking to capitalize on U.K. riots,” by Steven Edwards for Postmedia News, August 10 (thanks to Meaghan): NEW YORK “” Islamist extremists are trying to capitalize on the riots engulfing Britain, calling on their […]
