A Muslim teacher who labelled homosexuals “animals” who should be “eradicated” has lost a claim of unfair dismissal, where he argued he was discriminated against because he is Muslim. That is the good news; the bad news is that Razwan Faraz and the other teachers have been allowed back into the classroom. Discrimination (aka “Islamophobia”) […]
Muslims enraged at Cuomo for using word “jihad” in way that “perpetuates” “Islamophobia”
As I predicted in this article, Muslims are enraged at New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for using the word “jihad” to describe President Trump’s immigration policies. Sadaf Mehdi of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York fumed: “Governor Cuomo’s comparison of it to a ‘jihad’ only perpetuates the Islamophobic trope that acts of violence are […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Governor Cuomo Likens Trump’s Immigration Policies to ‘Jihad’
Will CAIR reprimand him for using the term’s violent definition? My latest in PJ Media: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has claimed that the Trump administration is “on a crusade against people who they do not consider original Americans.” That term was apparently fine, since even Catholics take for granted today that the Crusades were […]
Fairfield University professor: “Qur’an never uses the specific word jihad to mean aggression or armed combat”
Professor Nguyen’s claim is disingenuous and misleading. He echoes Hamas-linked CAIR talking points in claiming that jihad “trying to make ends meet” or “getting a great education,” and apparently leaves unanswered the question of whether the Qur’an promotes “aggression or armed combat,” whether or not it uses the word “jihad” in that context. Let’s look […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Direct Connection Between Devoutness in Islam and Violence
Virtually all jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. My latest in PJ Media: It is commonplace for Leftists and Islamic apologists in the West to claim that jihadis are ignorant of Islam, and indifferent to it. “Terrorists don’t kill for their religion,” asserted an article published in the World Economic Forum last year, just one of […]
Taliban denounces condemnations by Islamic scholars, justifies its jihad on Islamic grounds
We are constantly told in the West that the Taliban and other jihad groups have nothing to do with Islam, and that they twist and distort the concept of jihad. In this statement, however, they respond to plans by Islamic scholars to denounce them by making their case on Islamic grounds. They deny intentionally targeting […]
Imam banned from Facebook for mocking Hamas and “peaceful Palestinian protests”
Increasingly, those who criticize jihad terrorists and anti-democratic, anti-human rights sharia practices will be punished by the guardians of the Sharia who operate brazenly in Western countries. Imam Tawhidi says…. his Facebook page has been unpublished after he made a post mocking the terrorist group Hamas, and speaking in sarcastic terms about “peaceful Palestinian protests.” […]
The Religion of Peace is In Fact the Religion of Blood
To propose that the solution to Muslim killings of non-combatant civilians rests with Muslim leaders declaring anyone who does such a thing will go to hell is a product of a delusional mind or the fantasy of an ignorant naive dreamer who is unfamiliar with the fundamental bases of Islamic violence. Here are a few […]
The Curious Case of Mubin Shaikh, the “Undercover Jihadi” (Part 2)
In Part 2 of this series of articles, I further examine the efforts of a Muslim activist and self-proclaimed counter terror expert named Mubin Shaikh. Part 1 of this series of articles can be found HERE. This article primarily addresses Mubin Shaikh’s claims that Islamic theology forbids offensive jihad warfare, and his questionable approach to […]
France: Expert admits that it is “Islam, not social factors driving radicalism”
Sociologist Olivier Galland has slammed many of his fellow academics for having a myopic view of radicalisation in France, saying that the effect of Islam is more important than social factors like poverty. Finally, an expert in France is saying what Jihad Watch and other counter-jihad sources have been saying for some time. It is […]
