“The senior source also claimed that Islamic Jihad continued to fire rockets at Israel even after the recent cease-fire was announced because the Iranians pressured that organization, and the popular resistance groups, to continue acting against Israel.” The interest in sovereignty is curiously selective.

Mali: Islamic group claims control of northeast region
We’ve been hearing a lot about Ancar Dine lately. Here is more. “Armed Islamist group claims control in northeast Mali,” from Agence France-Presse, March 20: An Islamist group led by a Tuareg rebel fighting for autonomy in northern Mali claimed control Tuesday of the country’s vast northeast, while also vowing to free dozens of prisoners.

Four new mosques to be build in Copenhagen; Denmark gets its first mosque with minarets
Up until now, mosques in Copenhagen have been placed in existing and often anonymous buildings. Many of them are called ‘basement mosques’. But it seems that the money has now begun flowing, and that the Muslim voters finally made politicians see the positive in granting them rights to build their Islamic control centers. Remember that […]
Germany: Terror suspect misunderstood Islam, says he went to Afghanistan “to live life according to Sharia law and fight jihad”
Ahmad Wali Siddiqui is quite a severe Misunderstander of Islam, since we all know that Sharia is a perfectly benign thing, completely compatible with the U.S. Constitution and absolutely nothing like the hellish legal code that oppresses women and non-Muslims (the few that remain) in Afghanistan. And we all know, on pain of charges of […]
Democracy on the march: Dozens dead in series of jihad attacks in Iraq, Baghdad church targeted
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. Church of St Mathew in Baghdad targeted,’ from Asia News, […]
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“. The German, known as Sven N., is to be acquitted, since he clearly acted 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 […]
