The aim of jihad in all of its forms is to impose Sharia law. That is why jihadist movements find common cause with one another, sometimes over vast geographical distances, and it is why purportedly “regional” jihadist conflicts become globally interconnected. Think jihad globally, wage jihad locally. “Al-Qaeda’s hand in Boko Haram’s deadly Nigerian attacks,” […]

Spencer: Purple Heart for military victims of U.S. jihad attacks
In Human Events this morning I call for the redress of an injustice: The Obama administration’s willful blindness about the jihad threat doesn’t just make for bad policy inimical to the genuine interests of the United States — as is if that weren’t bad enough. It also perpetrates injustices against American heroes who deserved to […]
Hamas and Fatah agree on “unity government”
Hamas, of course, remains openly committed to the destruction of Israel, and the propaganda from the Palestinian Authority’s media outlets tells us plenty about their intentions. Obviously, this government cannot negotiate for “peace” in good faith, but the pressure will remain on Israel to compromise with an even more hostile Palestinian entity than before. An […]
A message from Malaysia’s king: “Muslims need to emulate Prophet Muhammad”
Yesterday was marked here in Malaysia as a holiday; more specifically, the birthday of Islam’s lone prophet Muhammad. Malaysia’s king, who must of course be a Muslim, and who is known in Malay parlance as the ‘Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuan Tuanku’, released a public statement for Malaysia’s Muslims in regards to Muhammad’s birthday. And Malaysia’s […]
Indonesia: Bomb-maker in 2002 Bali bombings to go on trial
Indonesia is generally tougher on jihadists with international connections, like Umar Patek, than it is with homegrown Islamic supremacist thugs, to whom the government generally seems content to turn a blind eye as long as they restrict themselves to targeting non-Muslims. More on this story. “Alleged Bali bomber to face six charges,” from the Australian […]
AFDI/SIOA Action Alert: Virginia Sharia vote
Jihad Watch readers, we need your action now. James Lafferty, chairman of the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST) and SIOA board member, has been working hard to get Sharia prohibition legislation passed. Delegate Bob Marshall of Virginia has introduced HB 825, which restricts any Virginia court from using “foreign law” as the basis for any […]
German politicians: Sharia law should be introduced in Germany – ‘good for integration’
German politicians once again make room for totalitarian barbarism: Most politicians in Germany have gotten the message: The quickest way to spark a career-damaging controversy is to make a facile comment about Nazis or the Holocaust. Media critics and political opponents are quick to pounce. But that isn’t the only way to attract unwanted attention, […]
Just in from the Iranian toy police: Superman, Spiderman good; Simpsons bad
Priorities: this is actually the substance of discussions in the halls of government within Iran. The reasoning is that Superman and Spiderman help free people from “oppression.” The Simpsons join Barbie on the list in the latest crackdown. Duff-Man is heartbroken. “Report: Simpson Dolls Join Barbie on Iran Ban List,” by Nasser Karimi for the […]
U.K.: “Shoebomb” jihadist to be released hours before opening ceremony for Olympics
The release date is described as an unfortunate coincidence, but it underscores massive task ahead of authorities to secure the London Olympics from Islamic supremacist disruption in any number of forms. “‘Shoe-bomb’ terrorist to be released from jail on opening day of the Olympic Games,” by Emma Reynolds for the Daily Mail, February 6: The […]
Iran: Website with ties to supreme leader runs “‘jurisprudential justification’ to kill all the Jews and annihilate Israel”
Once again, one may note the striking uniformity of Islamic antisemitism in places far removed from one another. So, did these guys call each other? “Ayatollah: Kill all Jews, annihilate Israel,” by Reza Khalili for World Net Daily February 5: The Iranian government, through a website proxy, has laid out the legal and religious justification […]
