Nasrallah mixed his incitement to jihad violence with some conspiracy paranoia, claiming that “America created ISIS and the takfiri groups.” “Takfir” is the act of declaring some other group non-Muslim, such that they can lawfully be killed. Sunni jihad groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda are often called takfiris by other Muslims — […]
“We believed our cleric”: Kids contract polio after Muslim clerics say vaccination is un-Islamic
A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And such “extremist” clerics are not just in Pakistan: in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers. “‘We Believed Our Cleric’: Pakistani Polio Victim’s Regretful Father Urges Others To Use Vaccine,” by Ron Synovitz […]
Pakistan’s Interior Minister: “The present wave of terrorism was a conspiracy against the Muslim Ummah”
Of course. What else could it possibly be? It isn’t as if a Muslim might read “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:898, 9:5) and think it means “kill them wherever you find them,” right? Impossible! It must be the Jews! “Disbelievers want to sabotage peace of Muslim Ummah by hatching anti-Islam conspiracies: […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: In Turkey, “What Is This Black Friday? Why Friday?”

France: Woman accusing Tariq Ramadan of rape placed under police protection after getting multiple death threats
“In her complaint, Ayari mentions the fact that she was called a ‘whore, paid by the Jews and the Zionists.’” Of course. Who else would possibly care that the “Muslim Martin Luther,” Tariq Ramadan, could be a serial rapist? But note well: this is the kind of abuse anyone and everyone receives if he or […]
Supporters of accused moderate Muslim rapist Tariq Ramadan blame charges on “Zionist plot”
Of course. What else could possibly account for these rape and sexual assault claims? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); […]
Iran’s World Assembly of Islamic Awakening top dog: Israel behind massacre of Muslims in Myanmar
There is abundant good reason to doubt the establishment media accounts of what is happening in Myanmar, but as far as Ali Akbar Velayati is concerned, the establishment media reports are to be taken at face value, and could only be the fault of…the Jews.

California: Muslim cleric says “ISIS is the production of the Israeli intelligence…to demolish Islam from within”
The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to […]
Muslim cleric: “America has created ISIS in order to distort Islam”
“America created ISIS for several reasons, the first of which is the distortion of the image of Islam. They want to distort the image of this religion. I know of many people who renounced Islam because of ISIS. They used to pray and fast, but when they saw ISIS, and saw that whenever its members […]
