The photo accompanying the article at PJ Media shows Isaac Herzog and Mahmoud Abbas. Since the Oct. 7 jihad massacre in Israel, we have seen Muslims, along with their leftist allies and useful idiots, demonstrating in favor of Hamas all over the world. We have not seen Muslims demonstrating in favor of Israel, or even […]
Rabbi claims that ‘Hamas has perverted Islam.’ Unfortunately, it has not done so.
The impulse here is understandable, but nevertheless unrealistic. It is better to have a full and accurate understanding of what we’re dealing with. Rabbi Yakov Nagen here claims that Hamas has perverted Islam apparently because of its “use of suicide bombers, missile attacks against civilians, and genocidal aspirations, in the case of Hamas annihilating the […]
Islamic scholar hails ‘wonderful fatwa’ that ‘permits killing Israelis wherever they may be’
What’s astonishing about this is that the world doesn’t bat an eye. Imagine if a scholar from any other religious tradition praised a religious ruling calling for the killing of anyone — the outcry would go on for months, or years. But this sort of religious ruling has no parallel in other contemporary religious traditions, […]
Jihad murderer says ‘My labeling is Islam only. Don’t include me in any faction. I’m Muslim, that’s enough for me.’
This is why I call jihadis “Muslims”: that’s what they call themselves, and Islam is the primary motivation for their actions. This practice is derided as “bigotry” and “racism,” but if those who leveled such accusations were consistent, they would accuse the jihadis themselves of bigotry and racism. “Terrorist: ‘I live on with Allah in […]
Islamic scholar: ‘The greater jihad is jihad by the holy Quran. We should raid the European countries, raid America’
After the call to Islam comes the armed conflict. Qur’an 16:125 tells Muslims: “Call them to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching.” In a hadith, Muhammad has been depicted as telling Muslims to follow up the “invitation,” if refused, with a second invitation asking non-Muslims to enter the Islamic social order […]
Miami: Trinidad-born American citizen gets 20 years prison for joining the Islamic State in Syria
Normally it is a good thing to see a criminal jailed for two decades for heinous crimes, but jihadists are not mere criminals. They are Islamic fighters at war with dar al harb (the unconquered house of war). They do not belong on Western soil. Trinidad became one of the chief recruitment centers for the […]
UK Home Secretary: ‘Blind spot in the system has allowed certain Islamist groups to operate under our radar’
The deceit of Islamic supremacists has enabled them to run rings around naive Western leaders. Now, however, UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman is condemning political correctness, which she notes has allowed “Islamist extremism to flourish in Britain.” Braverman told a counter “extremism” conference “that a ‘highly coordinated’ Islamist network was working in the United Kingdom […]
Egyptian researcher: ‘Islam has a problem with other religions, human rights, civil values, and personal liberties’
It would be interesting to see a “moderate Muslim” spokesman in the West, one of the legion who hoodwink conservatives by claiming that Islam, rightly understood, is peaceful and benign, discuss or debate these assertions with Islam Behery, or try to refute what he says here. Instead, they will ignore it. Now, why is that? […]
Muslim cleric: Qur’an ‘calls – explicitly, loudly and resoundingly – to wage jihad for the sake of Allah’
Islamic apologists in the U.S. routinely deny this, and claim that passages such as Qur’an 9:29, which Adlan quotes below, refer only to incidents in Muhammad’s life and have no relevance for twenty-first century situations. How did ‘Atiyya ‘Adlan, a leading scholar of Islam, fail to grasp this? The Islamic apologists in the West couldn’t […]
“Jihad simply refers to a ‘struggle.’ Muslims use the term to discuss a spiritual struggle against one’s vices.”
This “Muslim American” letter-writer is angry that Trevor Bickford’s attack on two cops in Times Square was described as a “jihad.” Zane Chowdhry says that “commentators should avoid co-opting Islamic terms like jihad without nuance.” However, Bickford himself may have used the word. We know that he left behind a manifesto which was not published […]
