As usual, the US Consulate hasn’t the first foggiest idea of what it is talking about. The Qur’an promises paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (9:111). Ramadan is the month in which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. If Allah promises paradise to those who kill and are killed, he […]
Pakistan’s Antiterrorism Potemkin Village
A Pakistani court convicted on April 7 Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) jihadist leader Hafiz Muhammad Saeed of two terrorism finance charges, each carrying penalties of 15.5 and 16.5 years imprisonment. While at first glance this judgment might indicate a strong Pakistani stand against terrorism, there is more than meets the eye in Pakistan, a state with a […]
Ilhan Omar’s Foreign Policy
While the entire Western world is reeling at the spectacle of Russian atrocities in the Ukraine – the razed-to-the-ground cities, the mass graves full of murdered Ukrainians, the deliberate targeting of civilians with missiles let loose at railroad stations, schools, hospitals, theatres — Ilhan Omar has demonstrated her fealty to Vladimir Putin. She was one […]
Taliban Threaten Pakistan With War, Pakistan Bombs Afghanistan
It’s sad when friends fight. Also entirely deserved. Pakistan’s intel people and regime are the major backers of the Taliban. They also helped shield Al Qaeda and other Taliban allies. But there are the “good Taliban” in Afghanistan and the “bad Taliban” in Afghanistan. Like most Islamist regimes, the Pakis are enthusiastic about Jihad… somewhere […]
Biden Planned to Waive Terror Designation on Iran’s IRGC Even As IRGC May Have Infiltrated Secret Service
I predicted this when the story first broke though apparently one of the men was also suggesting that he had ties to Pakistani intelligence. Investigators alleged Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, posed as various officers and employees of the U.S. government, including members of federal law enforcement agencies, since February 2020 and duped actual federal […]
Pakistani Taliban promises ‘martyrdom (suicide) operations, ambush attacks, sniper operations’ during Ramadan
Ramadan is supposed to be the time during which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” Muhammad replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Bukhari 4.52.44) So what better way to increase one’s devotion to […]
Pakistan: Teacher was murdered by colleague and nieces over a dream that she had insulted Muhammad
Jihad Watch reported on the story about a female seminary teacher killed by her students for “blasphemy” in an all-girls school located in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. The young women reportedly stabbed their teacher in her neck (as per Qur’an 47:4). More information has now emerged which is much worse than the original report. The […]
Pakistan: Muslim teen murders mother for talking to unknown men on mobile phone
Westerners tend to dismiss the human rights abuses and crimes against humanity that some Muslims commit in the name of Islam, because they have internalized the Judeo-Christian norm that a religion must be peaceful. There are countless peaceful Muslims, but those who are not constitute a significant threat, as jihadists, violent abusers of women, and […]
Pakistan: Three female students slaughter their seminary teacher over alleged blasphemy
Murdering people for alleged blasphemy is all too common in Pakistan. The death penalty for blasphemy is rooted in Islamic texts (Abu Dawud, book 38 no. 4348). Islam is not to be insulted according to the tenets of mainstream Islam; and this is taken with the utmost seriousness not only in Pakistan, either. The country […]
Islamic State Hind Province releases video of new recruits pledging jihad in India
When the the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant took the region by storm, it established a caliphate. After its fall at the hands of America and allied troops, it expanded its operations in Africa (notably in Nigeria, where it won the allegiance of a faction of Boko Haram calling itself the Islamic State […]
