In FrontPage this morning I discussed the little-noted implications of Abdul Hameed Shehadeh’s allegations: Abdel Hameed Shehadeh wanted to join the U.S. Army so that he could turn and kill American soldiers. Instead, he has exposed a jihad network of impressive proportions that, if his assertions are true, should end the rush toward politically correct […]

Yemen: Jihadists fire shots to stop march for peace
Jihadist forces and other Islamic supremacist thugs have shown a knack in recent months for showing up at demonstrations and doing exactly what protesters are warning against or want to stop. Here is yet another protest in need of a “Thank You For Proving Our Point” sign. “Islamist fighters halt Yemen peace march: witnesses,” from […]
Robert Spencer speaking in Perth, Australia, November 27, 2011
I start around 30 minutes in, after Vickie Janson and Warren Raymond of the Q Society give opening remarks. This was the second talk I gave during my recent speaking tour of Australia.
Hamas cracks down on “fortune-tellers” and mannequins
So much for the reported tactical retreat from aggressive, micromanaging Sharia enforcement in Gaza. The temptation will always be there, of course, since “morality” policing is a cheap, lazy way to look busy and shore up the legitimacy of the government as a pious Islamic outfit. “Hamas cracks down on fortune-tellers, mannequins,” from Ma’an News […]
Jordanian Muslim cleric: Caliphate will be restored in 2024
It is fanciful to think that Abdullah has a real shot at this title, but maybe he will surprise us. In any case, here is yet more indication of the breadth and depth of the desire to restore the caliphate in the Islamic world. “Jordanian Salafi Cleric Sheik Yassin Al-‘Ajlouni: The Caliphate Will Be Reestablished […]
Coptic priest: We will resist reimposition of jizya to the point of martyrdom
“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29 […]
Westminster rejects Muslim MPs demand for halal meat
On the remarkable and unprecedented pretext that halal meat “is offensive to many of their non-Muslim colleagues” — a fact that if one brings up in the U.S., one is immediately charged with “bigotry” and “hate.” We are all supposed to eat halal meat, even when it is not labeled as such, and like it, […]
87% of Afghan men misunderstand Islam, subject women to physical or sexual violence or forced marriage
Islamic spokesmen in the West constantly assure us that Islam respects women — I was not too long ago in a somewhat riotous debate with the Imam Moustafa Zayed on just that topic. And so it is extremely odd that in Afghanistan, a country where virtually everyone is Muslim, most Afghan men seem to misunderstand […]
Kenya: Five murdered in grenade and shooting attack in bar
Once again this seems to be the work of Islamic jihadists, bringing their beautiful vision of a world free of intoxicants to the people of Garissa. “Five dead in Kenya New Year blast,” from AFP, January 1: GARISSA, Kenya “” Five people were killed in a New Year’s Eve hand grenade attack and shooting in […]
Egypt’s Salafists: No Christmas greetings to Christians
Spreading their usual warmth and good cheer ahead of the Orthodox observance of Christmas. No word on Hanukkah, but you can probably more or less connect the dots. We also can’t rule out a Festivus Fatwa somewhere down the line, while they’re at it, to prohibit Muslim participation in the Airing of Grievances. And the […]
