New in PJ Media: After 9/11, we were inundated with the claims that by this time have become near-universal assumptions: Islam is peace. Jihadis are just a tiny minority of extremists. Jihad means a spiritual struggle and is willfully or ignorantly misinterpreted among jihadis. Yet an Islamic scholar has just offered a succinct and telling […]
Islamic scholar: ‘If preserving life had the priority, there would be no jihad’
Will the Islamic apologists in the West who insist that jihad is primarily a spiritual struggle denounce Tareq al-Suwaidan as a heretic? What do you think? “Kuwaiti Islamic Scholar And Muslim Brotherhood Leader Tareq Al-Suwaidan: My Role Is To Wage Jihad; Do You Want This ‘Filthy Entity’ To Keep Ruling Over Us Forever? Israel […]
Hamas top dog Khaled Mashal: ‘We are suffering, but it is all for the sake of Allah. We want jihad with weapons.’
Mashal once again demonstrates that he sees the conflict solely in Islamic terms. Western analysts and policymakers don’t care, and have never studied the implications of this. “Leader Of Hamas Abroad Khaled Mashal On Anniversary Of October 7 Attack: Our Losses Are Tactical, Whereas Our Enemy’s Losses Are Strategic; Jihad With Money Is No Longer […]
Yazidi woman, 21, kidnapped from Iraq by ISIS, freed from Gaza after 11 years captivity
The abuse of Yazidis by the Islamic State (ISIS) was widely published. Many mistakingly think that ISIS is different from other jihad groups. The only differences with ISIS were its claim to be the new caliphate, and its sudden rise in the modern era. The rapidity of its expansion by the sword was reminiscent of […]
Turkish Muslim poet: ‘The first duty of Muslims is to be terrorists. Kafirs [infidels] should be afraid of Muslims.’
İsmet Özel, a well-known Muslim poet from Turkey, said at a conference: “Muslims are terrorists. The first duty of Muslims is to be terrorists. Kafirs [infidels] should be afraid of Muslims. If they are not afraid, then a Muslim is not a Muslim.” https://t.co/oyNMAnLP7E — Uzay Bulut (@bulutuzay_) September 27, 2024 Is this guy a […]
Islamic scholar: ‘This not a war against the Zionist entity but against the infidel world in its entirety’
Try saying this in the U.S., Al-Shanqiti, and you’re liable to be accused of “Islamophobia.” “Former Vice President Of International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) Mauritanian Islamic Scholar Muhammad Al-Dadow Al-Shanqiti: The Most Noble Death A Person Can Have Is While Waging Jihad,” MEMRI, September 11, 2024: Former Vice President of the IUMS (International […]
Austria carries out 72 raids against alleged Islamic jihadis ahead of 9/11 anniversary
The impetus for Austria’s raids was the foiled jihad terror plot to attack Taylor Swift concerts, in which three suspects, ages 17, 18 and 19 — inspired by the Islamic State group — planned to kill tens of thousands of fans. All across Europe, a persistent danger exists since the beginning of the flood of […]
Islamic scholar: Oct. 7 massacre ‘transformed our history,’ ‘children should be raised on love of jihad’
Note yet again how Dr. Wasfi Ashour Abu Zeid frames the Israeli/Arab conflict entirely in Islamic theological terms, the one aspect of the conflict that analysts at all points of the political spectrum steadfastly ignore. “Member Of Qatar-Backed International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) Says Gaza War Can Be Used To Teach Children Important Lessons: […]
Libyan Fatwa House declares jihad against Russian forces, says jihad against them is religious duty for all Libyans
This fatwa aligns with traditional Islamic theology. In classic Sunni theology and law, only the caliph is authorized to declare offensive jihad. That jihad is an obligation on the community as a whole (fard kifaya); an individual is released from it if others are taking it up. But all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree […]
‘The West is proving that Islamist terrorism works’ — Yes, but…
Yes, Jake Wallis Simons is right: appeasement never works. The West is handing a victory to jihad terrorism. But it’s also true that Jake Wallis Simons himself is not fully coming to grips with the problem that confronts us. Why does he call the foe “Islamist” terrorism? What does he think is the difference between […]
