For anyone with eyes, the 1,400-year history of jihad is amply documented. Sharia is highly expansionary and now threatens the West via suicidal mass migration policies bringing in vast numbers of unvetted migrants from the Middle East and Africa.
The Islamic State, which rampaged through the Middle East a decade ago, was defeated by a 90-member Global Coalition against Daesh. Although defeated in the Middle East, the group went on to take massive territory in Africa, the group’s new global epicenter, and where it has experienced a rapid rise. But it isn’t stopping with Africa. Via mass migration to the West, the Islamic State has planted its seeds all over Europe, as well as in America under Joe Biden, and in Canada also.
Meanwhile, the group is now using the Sahel as a launching pad to expand its operations globally. And as the Sahel serves as “a base to sow terror abroad,” the likes of Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly continue to undermine the grave jihad threat (never mind the ever-growing tally of victims), calling it “anti-Muslim hate” to identify the threat. That claim is in sync with Muslim Brotherhood talking points. These lunatics are employing the Muslim Brotherhood’s longstanding, effective “Islamophobia” subterfuge because of their own antisemitic hatred, putting their hatred above American safety and national security.

“Islamic State Uses Sahel Base To Sow Terror Abroad,” Eurasia Review, May 9, 2026:
In February 2025, Morocco’s Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations arrested 12 men connected to Islamic State-Sahel Province during raids across the country, disrupting a terror plot to bomb financial and tourist sites.
The raid turned up Islamic State flags, cash, nail bombs, dynamite, guns and knives. It also uncovered evidence that the plot had been inspired and financed by a member of Islamic State-Sahel Province (ISSP), which seeks to expand beyond its base in the Liptako-Gourma region where Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger meet.
In recent years, the central leadership of Islamic State (IS) has shifted its attention and resources away from its historic base in Syria and Iraq and toward its African affiliates, taking advantage of porous borders, economic frustration and ethnic tensions to recruit new members….
The Sahel region’s chronic instability and weak governments have created an opening for the ISSP to build a framework for future operations, including those that reach beyond its historic borders into Europe and North America. That framework includes an extensive online propaganda network and an encrypted communication system that, as demonstrated in Morocco, spreads radical messages and instructions for terror attacks across international borders.
“Despite having much less insurgent capacity and territory compared to its rival, the Sahel’s al-Qaeda-affiliated group Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM), ISSP has emerged as a formidable entity in the global and African jihadist landscape, leveraging sophisticated strategies to internationalize its operations and expand its reach,” Webber added.
The Lakurawa terrorist group in northwestern Nigeria recently swore allegiance to ISSP, giving the group a foothold with which it can expand its collaboration with Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) operating in northeastern Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin….
The relationship is likely to go deeper in the future, according to analysts Miles Charles and Liam Karr.
“IS has also shown a clear intent to use ISSP and its trans-Saharan networks to support attack cells in North Africa and Europe and support the movement of foreign fighters to West Africa,” Charles and Karr wrote for the American Enterprise Institute’s Critical Threats website.

Islam is the religion of Murdering Muhammadian jihadists. If Islam is the religion of peace, then why was it spread by the sword?

The African Defense Forum needs to determine
⮞ Whether islam is a threat
⮞ If yes, how to deal w/ the fact that the entire northern 2/3rds of the continent is muslim
I don’t see how they make a credible push to combat jihad given that most North African countries are islamic ones
David Lakatos says
Democratic open border crime spree.

Muhammad, the murdering, perverted father of the Arab slave trade, Who incited the Islamic/Muslim jihadis conquest of North Africa and the resulting Barbary Coast Arab slave trade. Many unbelievers were murdered and sold into slavery. Muhammad loved owning his sex slaves. White women were the highest-priced slaves in Mecca. Islamic history is filled with slave trading, and they’re still doing it to this day.
