Islamic scholar hits Taliban for focusing on Afghanistan alone, compromising on goal of global Islamic caliphate
Abdallah may be overstating his case.

India: On Facebook, Muslim calls for jihad warfare against India, establishment of caliphate

Nigeria: Jihad group top dog Abubakar Shekau kills himself when cornered by rival jihadis
Shekau’s rivals described him as “the big troublemaker, persecutor and destructive leader of the nation.” Why?

Australia: 23% of Muslims want caliphate, 19% say jihad is offensive, not just defensive

Could Ali Abu Ahmed be clearer about his adherence to the Islamic idea that violent jihad must be waged in order to force Infidels to submit to Sharia?

Colorado: Non-Muslims try to destroy Islam by ‘sugarcoating, watering it down, accept LGBT…HIYZ…music is okay’
Western analysts constantly assume, and demand that other assume, that no Muslims in the U.S. and Europe have any difficulty whatsoever in reconciling Islamic law with Western secular society, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Yet here is a Muslim cleric in Aurora, Colorado proudly proclaiming that he will not […]
Virginia: Imam calls for caliphate, says ‘My enemies call it inciting, I do not care what enemies of Allah say’
Note that Shaker Elsayed refers to “our ummah, including the Islamists.” The word “Islamist” is generally used to refer to adherents of political Islam, which is inherently authoritarian and supremacist.
