May you have a safe and easy fast

I wish all Jewish Jihad Watch readers a safe and easy fast, and ask all lovers of justice and freedom to stand with Israel, which continues to be on the front lines of the global jihad.

Muslim woman removed from Southwest flight sues
Abbasi hard at work claiming victim status I am just about to board a Southwest flight. If I get removed for working on “Jihad Watch” in the gate area, I’ll let you know.

Seattle: Hertz suspends 34 Muslim airport shuttle drivers for abusing break time over prayers
Perhaps they thought that they could force the issue if they acted in sufficient numbers: “The workers had been repeatedly told they needed to clock out and that the 34 suspended workers had not complied.” “… it’s not about pay “” break time is paid time “” but to ensure that workers were staying within […]
France’s Muslim suburbs becoming “separate Islamic societies” cut off from the state
These are the fruits of the contradictory notion that letting an immigrant population have everything it wants of the society it left (e.g., niqabs, Sharia courts) will actually aid integration. Rather, it only allows the construction of replicas of their former societies, importing all of the dysfunction that actually encouraged them to emigrate in the […]

FBI chief: Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula still a threat
Indeed. Al-Qaeda benefits not only from the decentralization of its “franchises,” but from the fact that they did not invent the jihadist ideology that drives them. They are simply the best-known brand name. “FBI chief: Qaeda still a ‘threat’ after Awlaqi death,” from Middle East Online, October 7: WASHINGTON – The killing of US-born Islamic […]
NYPD under fire for surveillance of jihad-supporting “Muslim anti-terror partners”
In 2006, the New York Times ran a laudatory multi-part series profiling Brooklyn imam Reda Shata — which noted that when the murderous Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin was killed, Shata told Muslims at a memorial service that a “lion of Palestine has been martyred.” He also praised suicide bomber Reem Al-Reyashi. The Times dismissed this […]
‘Humanistic Islam’: an inherent contradiction in terms
Muslims and their enablers, fans and dedicated propagandists around the world never tire of spreading the same lies, over and over again, about Islam. Sometimes the lies are baldly blatant, and other times the lies are conveyed via convenient and strategic omission of inconvenient facts. Hence we must never tire or flag in our own […]
