Why did the British government have to do this? Why weren’t there any hip, anti-terror, Westernized British Muslims who did it themselves? And while This Is Woke promotes the idea that it’s cool, dude, to be young and Muslim in Britain, and that all jihad terrorists need in order to drop their arms is a […]
94 Muslim scholars condemn Muslim cleric for saying “Allah” means “God” and Jews and Christians aren’t unbelievers
Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri is widely hailed as a “moderate” because of his massive Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, but that jaw-droppingly windy document is just another exercise in deception. In fact, Tahir ul-Qadri is the framer of Pakistan’s inhuman blasphemy laws. But these 94 Muslim scholars from the UK, India and Pakistan are still […]
Sharia truth and the “Progressive Muslim” Feminist
As a “Muslim feminist scholar,” Williams College Assistant Professor of Religion Saadia Yacoob has a “very complicated relationship” with her Islamic faith, as her Duke University dissertation explains. This research, the basis for an April 3 presentation at Georgetown University’s Saudi-funded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), reveals the chasm between her […]
Qanta Ahmed, Death Cap Mushrooms and Islam
Qanta Ahmed, a naturalized American, accomplished doctor and liberal Muslim, is at it again. Claiming to represent true Islam, she has launched another diatribe against Ilhan Omar over her recent, infamous CAIR speech in which the Minnesota Democrat congresswoman described the 9/11 terrorist attacks as “some people did something.” Ahmed quite rightly calls Omar “…a […]
Maajid Nawaz: Use the word “Muslimphobia” instead of “Islamophobia”
Maajid Nawaz has another article out, and the cover picture for it is, as usual, of his face (it’s rarely a picture relating to the content of the piece). This time he’s looking contemplatively at the viewer. At other times, he’s staring wistfully in a pastel-coloured turtleneck, or gazing off into the middle-distance as though […]
Accused rapist “Muslim Martin Luther” Tariq Ramadan attends conference on violence against women
Islamic supremacists have always been notable for their chutzpah, and Tariq Ramadan is no exception. Women’s rights indeed. One of Ramadan’s accusers says he told her he was raping her “because you don’t wear a hijab.” “Tariq Ramadan attends a conference on violence against women,” translated from “Tariq Ramadan assiste à une conférence sur les […]
Qanta Ahmed’s Denial of the Reality of Islamic Anti-Semitism
Qanta Ahmed is a poised and eloquent defender of “moderate” Islam. A British-American pulmonologist now serving as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the State University of New York, she also describes herself as a specialist in the study of Islamism as contrasted with Islam. Recently, she has written opinion pieces firmly skewering Rep. Ilhan […]
Bruce Bawer: Mustafa Akyol, the New York Times’s Islamic Flimflam Man
Here is a superb takedown by Bruce Bawer of the Islamic “moderate” Mustafa Akyol, whose disingenuousness we have exposed here at Jihad Watch many times. “The New York Times’s Islamic Flimflam Man,” by Bruce Bawer, PJ Media, February 21, 2019: On February 18, in keeping with its apparent goal of remaining America’s most reliable source […]
UK: “Moderate” imam Usama Hasan claims he would “deradicalize” ISIS bride by using work of jihadist scholar
Usama Hasan of the UK’s Quilliam Foundation gives the impression in this article that Ibn Taymiyya was a moderate. Hasan fails to mention that Ibn Taymiyya also said: “Since lawful warfare is essentially jihad and since its aim is that the religion is God’s entirely and God’s word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, […]
Maajid Nawaz Has an Image to Protect
Asked Thursday whether he would debate Maajid Nawaz, Robert Spencer replied: “Yes, of course I would. But Maajid Nawaz won’t debate me.” It isn’t hard to understand why that is true. Maajid Nawaz has an image to protect: that of being an all-knowing Muslim reformist who’s never wrong. He presents himself as a softer, gentler, […]
