Nigeria: Boko Haram jihadists target churches, police in latest wave of attacks
Boko Haram consistently attacks practices, institutions, and people who would interfere with their intention of imposing Sharia. They believe they can create paradise if they kill enough people who stand in its way. But they always simply wind up with a trail of dead bodies. “Churches, police targeted in Nigeria attacks,” from Agence France-Presse, November […]
Shocker: Syrian revolution accompanied by signs of increasing Islamization of society
Obama’s top Muslim adviser, in cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose prominent role in Syria is described below, blocked the Maronite Catholic patriarch’s access to the White House because he simply pointed out the obvious. Another bishop wrote: “Patriarch Rai’s warning about the future of Christians in Syria is not taboo. Christians are in a […]
Failed Pentagon bomber plotted to kill those who fled after bombing with “automatic weapons and grenades”
Rezwan Ferdaus’ defense team might have him join the rather impressive list of jihad suspects who have explored or presented an insanity defense.

Tunisia’s mosques face “gradual conquest by the most hardline Islamists”
The Tiny Minority of Extremists again turns out to be less tiny than advertised. A few months ago, the stock answer to concerns along these lines would likely have been that Tunisia is a modern, moderate Muslim country, and even if there a few whackos, this sort of thing can’t happen. The foreign policy of […]
Nigeria’s Boko Haram: “Whomever we kill, we kill because Allah says we should kill and we kill for a reason”
They said it. But surely, there must be some “underlying causes” to chase after instead of considering that they fight for the reason they say they do: jihad to impose Sharia law. “Nigeria: Radical Muslim sect grows more dangerous,” by John Gambrell for the Associated Press November 4: MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) – The imam’s insistent, […]
Shocker: Islamic Jihad doesn’t expect “truce” with Israel to last
The hudna is never intended to last. It is a tool to attempt to give control to the jihadists over when hostilities begin and end, so that fighting occurs when the jihadists like their odds of succeeding. Note also that the “new” Egypt has begun direct negotiations with this jihad terrorist group. “Islamist [sic] Jihad […]
Al-Shabaab warns Kenya of “endless war”

An update on this story. “Somali rebels say will subject Kenya to ‘endless war’,” from Agence France-Presse, November 4: Somalia’s Shebab rebels said Thursday they were building defences that would plunge Kenyan forces battling them into an “endless […]
Mullah Omar to Taliban: Hey, lay off the civilian casualties
“The U.N. attributed 80 percent of the civilian deaths to insurgents and others fighting against the Afghan government.” Where’s the outrage about that? But Omar also manages to blame the victim, saying “civilians also need to keep themselves safe from attacks, such as staying away from U.S. troops on patrol.” “Taliban chief asks militants not […]
Sudanese cleric blames Shi’ites for toy gun said to insult Muhammad’s wife, Aisha
Remember when we said the assessment of blame for the “anti-Islam” toy gun promised to be entertaining? Someone is bound to blame Israel or America at some point, but this explanation is actually rather creative for a change. Sheik Muhammad Al-Amin Ismail blames Shi’ites, due to the antagonism between Ali and Aisha. Ali is accepted […]
