Non-Muslims know well that only greasy Islamophobes believe that Islam is anything but a Religion of Peace. Yet somehow a steady stream of converts to the religion keep misunderstanding it as enjoining them to wage war against infidels. Yet nary a single Islamic organization in the U.S., Canada or Europe has a program to prevent […]

Robert Spencer: Jihad at the DNC
In FrontPage this morning I discuss the upcoming Islamic supremacist extravaganza at the Democratic National Convention: It is no surprise, after four years of Obama Administration pandering, Muslim groups have a prominent role at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. The Charlotte Observer reports that organizers expect as many as 20,000 Muslims to attend […]
Kentucky: Muslim pleads guilty to misunderstanding Islam, conspiring to send weapons, cash and explosives to al-Qaeda
“Hammadi’s defense attorney, Jim Earhart of Louisville, said his client ‘grew up in a different world’ and never intended to get caught up in shipping weapons and explosives to al-Qaida in Iraq,” but you know how these things can just happen to someone. You can be just going about your business, walking the dog, buying […]
Robert Spencer: “Institutionalized Islamophobia”? Really?
Over at Atlas Shrugs I take apart an article that has been making the rounds of Islamic supremacist news sites. Longtime Jihad Watch readers and commenters may remember Wagner as a typically supercilious and arrogant Islamic apologist commenter known as “13Martyrs.” Arab News, an English-language Saudi publication based in Jeddah, published an opinion piece last […]
Sharia in action in Colorado: Muslims set off fireworks in defiance of ban, police told to ignore complaints
UPDATE: Pamela Geller has additional information: UPDATE: On July 8, Colorado Governor John W. Hickenlooper issued an executive order that actually did lift the statewide fireworks ban: “I hereby rescind Executive Order D 2012-015. This Executive Order rescinds the state-wide ban on open burning, including campfires, warming fires, charcoal grill fires, fused explosives, and FIREWORKS.” […]
Haaretz: “Islamophobia, not Islam, will be the end of Israel”
Pamela Geller skillfully eviscerates this spectacularly vicious and wrongheaded piece in Haaretz. I myself find it astounding that Haaretz considers it more important to denigrate and destroy Pamela Geller and her efforts on behalf of Israel than to devote any serious effort to exposing the jihad against Israel and resisting its advance. What their calculation […]
Dreaded bacon of hate investigated in New York City
The person who did this, if it was indeed done in order to irritate the gathering Muslims, was indeed a creep. But those who have defaced our AFDI Islamorealism ads in New York train stations are also creeps, and no one is calling that a “hate crime” or calling for an investigation. You have to […]
Egypt: Salafi leader says conspiring against Morsi, the “ruling imam,” is conspiring against Allah
It is unlikely that he said anything like this when Mubarak was in power, but of course Mubarak did not rule according to Islamic law. “Egypt: Conspiring Against Ruler Is Conspiring Against God – Salafi,” from Aswat Masriya, August 19 (thanks to Twostellas): Salafi (ultraconservative) leader and member of the constituent assembly, tasked with rewriting […]
Australia-based sheikh killed in Syria, reportedly while waging jihad against the regime
His family and associates deny that that was what he was doing, insisting that he was a gentle, peaceful soul whose whole life’s mission was peace. But he himself wrote about how some Muslims who are sweet and gentle among their fellow Muslims are lions on the battlefield. That doesn’t mean that he himself was […]
France: Muslim woman beaten by her uncle for not observing Ramadan
“Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34 Somehow this Misunderstander of Islam didn’t get the memo that Ramadan is a time to “reconcile differences and seek peace.” “France: Woman Beaten By Uncle […]
