Because it was used during the Crusades, you see. Eleanor Jackson, like so many others in England and the U.S., is ashamed of her heritage and history. No wonder they are throwing it away with both hands. “Council vetoes flag of St George after concerns raised about links to Crusades,” by Victoria Ward for the […]

Boston jihad bomber left note: Dead brother is martyr in Paradise, “when you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims”
In Islamic theology, jihad warfare is fard kifaya, an obligation of the community as a whole but not of every individual believer. Jihad becomes fard ayn, obligatory on every individual Muslim to aid in some way, when a Muslim land is attacked. So what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev wrote on the boat is consistent with traditional Islamic […]

Will the Islamophobia never end? “Violent Islamists in Bangladesh Declare: Kill all the Infidels,” from BarnabasAid, May 10 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): Bangladesh (BarnabasAid)- Barnabas Aid has received requests for prayer and practical help from Christian leaders in Bangladesh as the Church is endangered by a violent uprising by Islamists who are demanding that the […]
Former Islamic supremacist warlord elected president of Somali region
“‘As we get closer to building a federal state in Somalia, we actually risk it disintegrating,’ the diplomat said.” As rival factions of Islamic supremacists and jihadis battle each other for dominance, nothing seems much less likely than the establishment of a stable federal state. Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: “Former Islamist warlord elected president […]
Egypt: Muslim mob attacks Christians and their businesses
The Copts have to know their place: as dhimmis, subservient to the Muslims. That is their place in the new, Obama-endorsed Muslim Brotherhood Egypt. If they don’t accept it, the mobs will come. “Mob Attack Copts and their Businesses in Northern Egypt,” from the Christian Post, May 15 (thanks to AINA): Coptic-owned businesses and pharmacies […]

You might harm the wonderful dialogue! “France: Priest Attacked by Muslim, Monsignor Denounces Muslims Taking Control of District,” by Cheradenine Zakalwe for Islam Versus Europe, May 14 (thanks to Pamela Geller): The day after the attack on Father Grégoire, Monsignor Cattenoz has spoken out strongly and denounces “people of the Muslim faith taking […]
Iraq: Islamic jihadists murder at least 33 in wave of bombings
“The bloodshed came amid growing tensions between the Shiite-led government and minority Sunnis following a deadly security crackdown on a Sunni protest camp in the country’s north.” This is part of a 1,400-year-old jihad. Of course, in Washington, where they know jihad is an interior spiritual struggle, they are probably preparing new aid packages for […]
UK: Yet another Muslim gang convicted of sex crimes against girls as young as 11
The Qur’an allows for the owning of sex slaves: If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you […]
Islam vs. Islamism, again
This is a familiar controversy to longtime Jihad Watch readers; in November 2011 I published an article in National Review responding to a piece by Andy McCarthy and criticizing the Islam/Islamism distinction for obscuring the fact that doctrines of warfare and subjugation are found in Islam’s core texts. I’ve long rejected the term “Islamist” for […]
Sharia in action in Kuwait: 215 gays, lesbians arrested in raids on Internet cafes
Good thing gay activist Chris Stedman came out so strongly against Pamela Geller and me for protesting against Sharia mistreatment of gays, eh? We wouldn’t want anyone defending these 215 people arrested in Kuwait, now, would we? That would be “Islamophobic”! Sharia Alert from modern, moderate Kuwait: “Over 200 homos, lesbians held in countrywide Net […]
