The fundamental aim of jihad in all its forms is to impose Sharia, and that is why jihadists in supposedly “regional” conflicts find common cause with others far removed from them, as the spokesman here claims support in Saudi Arabia. Boko Haram has consistently targeted institutions, practices, and people that would stand in the way […]

Report: Hamas’ Meshaal may take a “high position in the Muslim Brotherhood movement”
That Muslim Brotherhood? The moderate, “largely secular” one? This is, of course, not so much a departure as moving from one department to another: Hamas’ charter describes itself as “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine,” and the leader of the Brotherhood in Egypt, Mohammed Badie, has praised Hamas as a role […]
Nigerian jihad leader misunderstands Islam, says “I enjoy killing anyone that God commands me to kill the way I enjoy killing chickens and rams”
How is it that Shekau studied Islam at the feet of Islamic clerics and yet did not emerge with the idea that it was a beautiful Religion of Peace? Why is this exact same misunderstanding of Islam so prevalent among Muslims, including clerics, worldwide? Why does no one in the mainstream media ever care to […]
San Francisco: Muslim gets $465,000 for hurt feelings
Every day my email box is filled with torrents of abuse and threats. There are at least three websites that are almost wholly dedicated to showing what a stupid and evil person I am, and ugly to boot. Opinions I never held and statements I never made, approving of genocide, racism, fascism, etc., are routinely […]
Hamas-linked CAIR: “NYPD Apology Not Enough” for showing truthful film about jihad
The mainstream media and the Islamic supremacist Hamas-linked hate group CAIR are still doing all they can to whip up a frenzy about the NYPD’s showing of the film The Third Jihad to police officers. Lost in the hysteria is the question of whether there is anything inaccurate or false in the film — no […]
Pakistani foreign minister: Islam is the most misunderstood religion in the world
How, then, pray tell, is Islam so consistently “misunderstood,” across geographical areas and schools of jurisprudence, with respect to jihad warfare, and the rights of women and non-Muslims, from Great Britain to Nigeria to Algeria to Tunisia to France to Egypt to Germany to Turkey to the Palestinian territories to Lebanon to Syria to Saudi […]
Tunisia: “Islamic leaders pressured by radical fringe”
Remember when that “radical fringe” was sure to be a harmless, ineffectual sideshow of a Tiny Minority of Extremists? Not only is the Tiny Minority once again less tiny and inconsequential than advertised, but they do not need to attain absolute power to do very real damage to human rights and civil liberties. There is […]
Iraq: Dozens killed in bout of mutual Islamophobia
Across the world, one could argue that the world’s biggest Islamophobes are Sunnis attacking Shi’ites, and vice-versa. Where’s the outrage for that? “Dozens Killed in Attack on Iraqi Funeral Procession,” by Sam Dagher and Ali A. Nabhan for the Wall Street Journal, January 27: BAGHDAD””Dozens of people were killed and wounded when a suicide car […]
Nigeria: Boko Haram threatens more attacks, gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” open fire on police station
And maybe killing that many people will bring about paradise under Sharia. They keep trying, and it keeps not working. “Gunmen shoot police officers in flashpoint Nigerian city,” by Aminu Abubakar for Agence France-Presse, January 27: Gunmen opened fire on a police station Friday and two officers were feared dead in the Nigerian city of […]
Pakistan: Muslim murders sister with axe for her “loose morals”
Carrying on (allegedly) with “different men from the neighborhood”: haram. Murdering with an axe the person so accused: halal. It is no accident or coincidence that Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in […]
