May 29 was the anniversary of the conquering and desolation of the great Christian city of Constantinople by the forces of Islam in 1453. The below historical descriptions of the pillaging and destruction by the Muslim invaders is remarkable for its similarity to the actions of the Islamic State and other jihadi groups today, and vividly illustrates […]
Almost half of the “Palestinian” “journalists” killed by Israel actually Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and the “Palestinians” have taken deceit to the level of an art form, beginning with their very claim to be a distinct nationality. The mainstream media, of course, eagerly aids and abets their deceptions. Real journalists are little better than these jihad terrorists — they generally share their world view: […]
Former prof, Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader, to be deported Wednesday
Ah, Sami, you Rumpled Academic you, we hardly knew ye. If only I had known about the farewell dinner at the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque; I would have dropped everything to be there. Longtime Jihad Watch readers will remember Al-Arian, who for years was a darling of the Leftist intelligentsia. In March 2002 Nicholas Kristof went […]
Hamas and Islamic Jihad fully control UN agency for “Palestinian” “refugees”
“Hamas’ takeover of the UNRWA institutions and UNRWA staff should set off alarms regarding the possibility of funding given by donor countries — primarily the United States — finding its way to financing the salaries of Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists.” Yep. “Report: Hamas Jihad fully controls UN agency for Palestinians refugees,” World Tribune, August […]
Islamic Jihad spokesmen: IDF soldiers bake bread with “Palestinian” children’s blood
Astonishing, open, and unashamed Jew-hatred and blood libel — we are seeing it all over the world. But the UN and the global “human rights community” is too busy condemning Israel and conducting studies about how to eradicate “Islamophobia” to take any notice. “Islamic Jihad Spokesman Daoud Shihab: Israeli Soldiers Use Palestinian Children’s Blood to […]
Jihadi Rhetoric — Tiresome but Deadly
I just spent the better part of the day reading and listening to sermons by the leaders and jihadis of the new “caliphate” in Mesopotamia, the Islamic State (formerly “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria”). I did so in the vain hopes of learning something “new.” But it was absolute déjà vu—taking me back to […]
Prof: Muslim students at U of Calgary openly supported Islamic Jihad, Hamas
We’re constantly told that Muslims in the West abhor jihad terrorism and reject the understanding of Islam that gives rise to it. Yet jihad terrorists base their appeal to peaceful Muslims on teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. And the jihad that is raging now in Iraq and Syria is drawing many Muslims from Western […]
Hamas, Islamic Jihad vow to continue jihad terror against Israel despite “unity” pact with Palestinian Authority
Despite this crystal clear declaration, however, the Obama Administration has already signaled its willingness to work with the “Palestinian” “unity” government, and is without any doubt going to continue to pressure Israel to make concessions that would be disastrous for its national security. The “Palestinian” jihadists, meanwhile, are never similarly pressured. “Hamas, Islamic Jihad Vow […]
Seven rockets hit Israel after Islamic Jihad agrees to halt of rocket fire
Even if Islamic Jihad is telling the truth when it says that it didn’t launch these rockets after the cease-fire, this latest barrage makes it clear that no one can or is willing to control the most fanatical jihadists in Gaza. But Ramadan Shalah, the leader of Islamic Jihad, just said that Islamic Jihad and […]
Islamic Jihad top dog: Negotiations gain “nothing”
You may recall that Ramadan Shalah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad top dog, was once a “moderate” professor at the University of South Florida, brought there by Sami al-Arian, the once and future poster boy for Islamic victimhood, who was in reality an Islamic Jihad operative himself. In saying that negotiations gain nothing, he is announcing […]
