Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pakistan Taliban say they have 500 female jihad/martyrdom suicide bombers ready to die

By

This is probably an empty threat. We have seen Islamic jihadists before boast about having huge numbers of jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers all ready to go. Still, it could be true. The Qur’an promises Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111), although it never explains what that Paradise is like for women. […]

Pakistan’s “University of Jihad”: “Hand over everything to Taliban, and bring back Islamic Law”

By

How is it that at an Islamic seminary, where all academic study is devoted to understanding the Qur’an and Sunnah properly, there could be supporters of violent jihad? Don’t these students read the Qur’an peaceful texts that rule out all terrorism, about which we hear so much in the West? How is it that they […]

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists throw grenades into crowded movie theatre, murdering eleven people

By

These Islamic jihadists think that it is sinful to see movies. And to drive that point home, they resort to murder. They do not think it is sinful to murder people who watch movies. It is only sinful to watch them. This is what is behind the Islamic critique of Western immorality: a culture of […]

Former Pakistani PM to Taliban: Whaddeya mean you want Sharia? We already have Sharia

By

It is clear that Gilani is right: the Taliban is out of touch to demand Sharia in a state that already oppresses women, terrorizes non-Muslims with blasphemy charges, and gives active aid to Islamic jihadists. An update on this story. “Sharia already enforced: Gilani,” from The Nation (Pakistan), February 10: lahore [sic] – Responding to […]

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists throw grenades and open fire at Sufi gathering, murdering eight people

By

This latest attack on Sufis in Pakistan highlights some of the prevailing myopia about the jihad problem. The Sufis are often cited as proof that Islam can reform and be non-violent, which is not precisely accurate since Sufis have never rejected violent jihad in principle, and the Chechen jihad was led by Sufis for quite […]

Pakistan: Taliban demand Sharia, release of all jailed jihadis, breaking of all ties with U.S.

By

That part about breaking all relations with the U.S. sounds great. Let the Pakistanis finance their own jihad. Note again that they want Sharia, despite being universally portrayed in the West as opportunistic hijackers of Islam who use Islamic language to mask their true secular agenda. The Taliban also want an end to all drone […]

Pakistan: Jihadis threaten to kill lawyer, witness in trial of murderers of Christian official who opposed blasphemy law

By

They support those who murdered Shahbaz Bhatti and believe that they should go free. He was, after all, an Infidel who was interfering with the implementation of Sharia blasphemy laws in Pakistan. As far as they are concerned, he deserved what he got. “Extremist threats hamper Shahbaz Bhatti’s murder trial,” from AFP, February 8 (thanks […]

Taliban negotiators: no peace until Pakistan embraces Islamic law

By

This dogma in the West can only be questioned on pain of charges of “Islamophobia” and “bigotry”: the Taliban misunderstands, misinterprets and hijacks Islam, and true Muslims abhor its twisted version of their peaceful religion. Some Islamic apologists in the West even claim that the Taliban and Muslim leaders such as Maulana Abdul Aziz (pictured […]

Pakistan: 34% of women say men are justified in hitting wives if they argue back

By

This is a good one for World Hijab Day. Stockholm syndrome. But it’s understandable: these women have been raised as Muslims, and taught that this is a divine command: “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have […]
