The remaining Christians in Iraq are a tiny, embattled community. That they continue to be targeted demonstrates that these bombers are working along the lines of traditional jihad doctrine, mandating warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers. “Series of attacks in Iraq, dozens of dead.

Egyptian Muslim cleric: killing Assad is a duty for every Muslim
Thought experiment: when was the last time you heard of a Christian cleric saying that killing anyone for any reason was every Christian’s duty? When was the last time you heard a Jewish rabbi call for Jews to kill anyone? A Hindu? A Buddhist? We report here at Jihad Watch with mind-numbing frequency about Muslim […]
General Allen: U.S. to stay the course in Afghanistan — what course?
What course? What is the objective? What would victory look like? Is victory even a goal? Freedom certainly isn’t — we’ve already overseen the adoption of a Sharia Constitution. Is the goal to defeat the Taliban? No, Biden said the Taliban were not the enemy. Is the goal to establish a stable parliamentary democracy? That […]
Neukölln, Berlin: Muslims want revenge on German who killed Muslim in self-defence — ‘This is a separate universe with its own laws’
I recently reported about the 18-year-old Yusef Al-Abed, who was stabbed to death as he and twenty of his armed Turkish and Arab friends attacked a collapsed German man: “Berlin: ‘tense armed calm’ after German killed Muslim in self-defence“.

As Egypt’s parliament dubs Israel its “number one enemy,” Obama resumes military aid to Egypt
Egypt’s parliament, which is dominated by two pro-Sharia Islamic supremacist groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists, voted unanimously last Monday to expel Israel’s ambassador to Egypt, and signaled that the Camp David Accords would soon be a thing of the past: Egypt, the parliamentarians declared, would “never” be Israel’s ally. In fact, Israel was […]
Australia: Alevi community center firebombed, threatened if they did not “testify” that “Allah was the only god to be worshipped”
Even in Australia. “Petrol-bomb attack on religious group,” by Adam Cooper for the Sydney Morning Herald, March 19 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A petrol-bomb attack on a community centre has prompted fears among Melbourne’s Alevi population they could be targeted with more violence on religious grounds. Glass bottles containing petrol and set alight […]
Pakistan: Hindus face increase in kidnappings, forced conversion to Islam
And the government? “They are not serious in addressing the grievances of minorities.” The central and provincial governments are sending the signal that no one cares, thereby rewarding the attackers, and ensuring there will be more of the same behavior. “Abduction cases, forced conversions frighten Hindus,” by Shehzad Baloch for the Express Tribune, March 19 […]
Nigeria: Members of Christian tribe fleeing north
This report observes that the government’s policy really does appear to be to try to refuse to acknowledge the extent of situation in order to keep the peace, except that Boko Haram is ensuring there is not much peace to keep. Jihad, not peace, is the beneficiary of this approach. “As violence reigns, some flee […]
Shocker: Reconciliation between Hamas and Palestinian Authority “has hit a dead end”
According to Hamas’ charter, the group is “one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.” The Ikhwan’s rise has been a game-changer for Hamas, and is already causing a shift in its alliances, notably with respect to and Iran and Syria. “Hamas clinging to Gaza as unity remains elusive,” by Karin Laub and […]
