Atlantic Wire: “The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So?”
All right, I’ll spell it out for you: the fact that they were Muslims is not incidental to what they did. There’s this thing called “jihad,” you see. It’s an Islamic doctrine involving warfare against unbelievers. The likelihood is that some others might want to wage jihad against Americans as well. And so the more […]
Morocco’s higher council of religious scholars calls for apostates from Islam to be murdered
Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. Yet Muslim spokesmen such as Harris Zafar, Mustafa Akyol, Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us that Islam […]
Tip from imam led police to Toronto jihad plot
Why is this even a news story? It is something that ought to be so commonplace, if the mainstream media narrative about Islam and jihad were true, that it wouldn’t be noteworthy at all. Instead, it is so unusual that whenever it does happen, it gets widespread attention. What we see much more of is […]
Toronto jihad plotters have al-Qaeda ties
They were moderates until they became “Islamists.” Chiheb Esseghaier was a grad student. No doubt those around him assumed that he abhorred and condemned violence done in the name of Islam. “Suspects charged in Via train terror plot have al-Qaida ties: RCMP,” from The Canadian Press, April 22: TORONTO, Canada — Two Canadian residents were […]

Yet to explore the implications of this and try to formulate ways to resist it would be “Islamophobic.” “Toronto terror plot: Suspects were religious men, according to colleagues, neighbours,” by Jennifer Pagliaro and Allan Woods for the Toronto Star, April 22 (thanks to […]
Robert Spencer and Michael Coren on the Boston jihad bombings and media denial
This evening I made a special appearance on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show to discuss the Boston jihad attacks and mainstream media obfuscation of their real motive.
U.S. officials admit Boston jihadis motivated by Islam
No kidding, really? This took this long for them to admit because they were hoping they could find some way to spin it away. “Officials: Boston suspects motivated by religion,” by David Crary for the Associated Press, April 22 (thanks to EH): Preliminary evidence suggests the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings were motivated by […]
Muslim arrested in Canada train jihad plot a PhD candidate; Linkedin page features jihad flag
A PhD student? But…but…we’re always told that Muslims who misunderstand Islam enough to think it exhorts to violence are all poor and uneducated! Chiheb Esseghaier is a “Graduate researcher at Université de Sherbrooke.” His Linkedin page is here. “RCMP says it foiled plot to attack Via Rail passenger train,” from The Canadian Press, April 22: […]
Canada: Islamic jihad terrorists planned to blow up U.S.-Canada rail line — “It was meant to be spectacular and there would have been a lot of carnage.”
These noble warriors of Islam hoped to sow even more death and destruction than they have already sown. Meanwhile, Muslim communities in the U.S. and Canada say they condemn such jihad activities, yet have nary a single program to teach against this understanding of Islam that they ostensibly reject and abhor. Authorities don’t seem to […]
