I’ve been less enthusiastic about Zuhdi Jasser than other foes of jihad terror, chiefly because his version of Islam is based neither on the Qur’an nor on Islamic tradition or history; there is no sect of Islam that teaches what he stands for, and so while I wish him success, it is unlikely in the […]
“Moderate” Fatah brags that it has “killed 11,000 Israelis”
Just days ago, Barack Obama claimed that Mahmoud Abbas was “sincere in his desire for peace.” Yet Abbas is the head of Fatah. Surely the President couldn’t be wrong, or ignoring the facts about this, could he? “Fatah brags it killed 11,000 Israelis,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 10, 2014: Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah […]
Australia: Muslims slam general’s warning of long war against jihadis as “ludicrous”
One might have thought that all these moderate Muslim leaders would have applauded General Leahy’s remarks and assured the Australian government that they shared Leahy’s determination to defend freedom against these Muslims who ostensibly misunderstand and misapply their religion. Instead, they’re complaining about “right-wing extremism” and “bigotry,” and complaining that resistance to jihad will only […]
Denmark: Islamic Faith Society, Copenhagen Mayor’s adviser and partner against “extremism,” sells jihad flags
Via 10news.dk, translated from Uriasposten: Islamisk Trossamfund (Islamic Faith Society) has been used by politicians as an adviser in religious affairs. At the Eid celebrations on July 28, with 12,000 participants, the society sold jihad flags: (From the Facebook page of the Islamic Faith Society, a photo of their booth at the Eid […]
UK Muslima tried to smuggle 20,000 euros in underwear for Syria jihadis
Nawal Msaad sure looks “moderate.” And yet there seems to be no curiosity about why she agreed to undertake this odd and dangerous mission for her friend. Was their friendship really that strong? Or does Nawal Msaad endorse the perspective of the Islamic jihadis she was trying to help finance? Does anyone in the UK […]
ISIS jihadis celebrate Muslim DHS Adviser’s anti-American tweets
Is anyone in the Obama Administration concerned about how Elibiary is giving aid and comfort to the enemy? Or does that not matter because he is that most sought-after of men, the “moderate Muslim” (at least ostensibly), and so (like Major Nidal Malik Hasan (who was the even more coveted “Muslim military man”), nothing that […]
Kenya: Muslim cleric accused of not supporting jihad teaching shot dead
Here is yet another illustration of why we don’t see more sincere Muslim reformers. We’re constantly told that the overwhelming majority of Muslims condemn violence and terror and abhor the violence done in Islam’s name. So why wasn’t Mohammed Idris celebrated as a hero and appointed to a high-level leadership position among Muslims in Kenya? […]
Muslim Congressmen and leaders to Boko Haram: “You have truly strayed from Islam”
Representatives Keith Ellison (D-MN) and André Carson (D-IN), the nation’s two Muslim Congressmen, and a host of Muslim leaders, many with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, have published an open letter condemning Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, as un-Islamic, and calling upon the group’s leader, […]
Malaysia: Muslim leader says term “moderate Muslim” invented by “enemies of Islam”
Suriani Sudi here explicitly and defiantly rejects the terminology that his coreligionists in the West use aggressively. In the U.S., if you question whether violent Islamic jihadists are really “extremists” who have twisted and hijacked their peaceful religion, you’re a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. Is Suriani Sudi a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, too? “‘Moderate Muslim’ Invented By […]
Time Mag says Boko Haram un-Islamic, ignores Qur’an verses on sex slavery
Here is yet another article (remarkably poorly edited for a major magazine) purporting to show that Boko Haram is violating the teachings of Islam, while ignoring the passages of the Qur’an and Hadith that Boko Haram uses to justify its actions. The problem with such pieces is that they do nothing to refute the jihadist […]
