By

Apparently a dedicated and persistent jihadist. “Ariz. bomb suspect charged with previous murder,” by Brian Skoloff for the Associated Press, July 22 (thanks to Pamela Geller): An Iraqi man charged with detonating a homemade bomb outside a federal building in Arizona now faces additional charges, including first-degree murder in a killing just days before the […]

Syria: Jihad leader says his forces are “heading towards the establishment of Islamic law” by means of “jihad in Allah’s way”

By

Ramadan observance in Iraq: Shi’ite Muslims bomb Sunni mosques, murdering nine

By

Ramadan is the time for Muslims to work at renewing their commitment to Allah. Since the Qur’an teaches warfare against those considered to be unbelievers, that wafare is also an act of piety. Therefore Ramadan is also usually marked by an uptick in jihad violence. “Bombs against Iraq Sunni mosques kill nine: officials,” from AFP, […]

Sharia in action in Afghanistan: Leading Muslim cleric issues fatwa against wearing makeup

By

Ahmed Rehab hardest hit This makes sense. After all, if women (as opposed to Ahmed Rehab) are wearing makeup in Afghanistan, who would see it? Seriously, this represents still more Sharia-inspired erosion of women’s rights in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber on donkey murders three American troops

“Donkey Bomb Attack Kills 3 U.S. Troops” is ABC News’s headline, as if the donkey decided to wage jihad. As always with the mainstream media, they’ll do anything to obscure the jihad connection. “Donkey Bomb Attack Kills 3 U.S. Troops,” by Muhammad Lila for ABC News, July 23 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Three American service […]

Interfaith outreach in Iraqi Kurdistan: Muslim ambulance driver refuses to take body of Christian woman to church

By

Remember, this is not hate. It only becomes hate when a non-Muslim points out that it happened. And even then, the hate will be ascribed not to the ambulance driver, but to the non-Muslim. “Kurdistan: ‘Islamic’ ambulance driver refuses to take the body of a Christian woman to church,” from Asia News, July 23 (thanks […]

St. Louis church sign: “Ramadan mubarak!”

By

This is just fine. The problem is that it is, like most efforts at “outreach,” all one way. Muslim efforts at “outreach” to Christians and non-Muslims almost always take the form of subtle proselytizing, in accord with the statement of Sayyid Qutb in Milestones: “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is […]
