Condoleezza Rice said it in January 2007: “There’s still a tendency to see these things in Sunni-Shia terms. But the Middle East is going to have to overcome that.” Five years and counting, Dr. Rice. But why listen to the likes of those who offer “amateurish, ideologically motivated scholarship” and who warned all along that […]

Always the victim: UK Muslim leaders warn of “Islamophobia” in wake of Muslim rape/prostitution gang case
This is almost as obscene as the case itself. In light of the fact that forcing non-Muslim girls to be sex slaves is in accord with Islamic law, these Muslim leaders should not just be issuing empty condemnations, but instituting comprehensive programs in mosques and madrassas to teach against the beliefs and attitudes that lead […]
Saudi Muslim clerics misunderstand Islam, use social media to spread hate
But remember: the real problem is “amateurish, ideologically motivated scholarship” about Islam and jihad. The real problem is “Islamophobia.” The real problem is hatred and bigotry, inciting to violence. Actually, the last one of those is true. And these Saudi clerics are guilty. “‘Saudi clerics use social media to spread hate,’” by Oren Kessler for […]
After getting physically attacked in Indonesia, Irshad Manji starts to realize that maybe it isn’t as “moderate” as she thought
Hugh Fitzgerald said it back in 2008: “Irshad Manji has certainly created her own private Islam. She is the child of Asian refugees from Uganda. She has never lived in a Muslim society. She has always enjoyed the freedoms of the West. But she feels, out of filial piety, and perhaps for other reasons, that […]
Chairman of Joint Chiefs removes instructors, material that is offensive to Islam
Wired’s hard-Left pseudo-journalist Spencer Ackerman continues his series of “exposes” designed to render us complacent and ignorant in the face of the advancing jihad. The jihadis who mount the next successful large-scale civilian massacre in the U.S. should be sure to send Ackerman a thank-you card. “Top U.S. Officer: Stop This “˜Total War” on Islam […]
Cruise the Great Lakes with the Muslim Brotherhood!
Want to know what is wrong with establishment conservatism? Here is what’s wrong with establishment conservatism: Grover Norquist may be more responsible than anyone else for Muslim Brotherhood access to the highest levels of power in the U.S. David Horowitz wrote that Norquist “has formed alliances with prominent Islamic radicals who have ties to the […]
Robert Spencer: Is resistance to jihad a right-wing issue?
Wednesday evening I spoke in Manchester, New Hampshire on the topic, “Is resistance to jihad a right-wing issue?” The topic was of particular moment because I was there at the invitation of a group called NH4Israel, which received objections from some quarters on the grounds that I was “right-wing” and “extreme.” I am grateful to […]
Indonesia: Islamic supremacists vow to mobilize 30,000 demonstrators to prevent jihad violence Lady Gaga concert
Priorities. “Indonesia Islamists threaten to stop Lady Gaga show,” by Presi Mandari for AFP, May 9 (thanks to EH): A hardline Islamic group warned Wednesday it would not let Lady Gaga set foot in Indonesia, challenging an army of fans awaiting a concert in the nation with the world’s largest Muslim population. The Islamic Defenders […]
Syrian protesters: “Christians to Beirut, Alawites to the coffin”
There is little to be said in favor of the Assad regime, but like its fallen Arab nationalist counterparts in Egypt and Iraq, it is better for the Christians of Syria than an Islamic state would be. “Christians in Syria live in uneasy alliance with Assad, Alawites,” by Stephen Starr and S. Akminas for USA […]
Yet another jihadi in Afghan army uniform murders yet another NATO trooper, NATO and U.S. still get no clue
I have a good deal of material in the archives at Jihad Watch that I go back to and paste in to new articles, because the same things just keep happening over and over again, and no one in any position of authority or power ever gets a clue. And here we are again. This […]
