One would think that when mosques are recruiting for and financing a jihad that Western authorities have characterized as being dominated by “extremists,” that those same Western authorities might get an inkling that what they consider to be “extremist” is not necessarily what mainstream Muslims consider to be “extremist.” But that is a point that […]
Nigeria: Muslim clerics recruiting for Boko Haram in mosques
In the U.S., Muslim leaders and Leftist academics are agitating for the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to remove mention of Islam and jihad from its exhibits, on the grounds that the 9/11 hijackers were not true Muslims and do not represent Islam. But in the real world, Nigerian Muslim clerics — men who have dedicated […]
Afghanistan: Mullah and four other jihadists killed in bomb-making accident in mosque
Relax, you greasy Islamophobe. Admit it: your church has a bomb-making class, now, doesn’t it? After all, everyone knows that Christianity is just as capable as Islam is of inciting its followers to violence, right? Bomb-making accidents happen in churches all the time, don’t they? “Taliban leader among 5 rebels killed in Ghazni mosque explosion,” […]
Abu Hamza trial: Former imam used UK’s Finsbury Park mosque as “base of operations for the global export of violence and terror”
Where are all those “hundreds of Muslims” whom Abu Hamza inspired and incited now? Is the British government watching them, or preparing to award them MBE’s? Back in 2009, before the British government went into full appeasement mode and started banning counter-jihadists from the country, I was in London and went to the Finsbury Park […]
Ground Zero Mosque developer files to raze buildings at GZM site
A few months ago I was leaving Penn Station in New York City when I heard someone calling my name. It was Sharif El-Gamal, the developer of the Ground Zero Mosque. He started out by asking me incredulously if I really believed in what I was doing, which shows that he has uncritically accepted as […]
Kenya: Imams tell mosquegoers to “cleanse Mombasa of infidels,” behead kuffar
It’s hard to see why the Kenyan police are hunting for these two imams. They were just preaching from the Qur’an, which tells Muslims: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike at their necks…” (47:4). Do Kenyan police believe that these two imams cast that verse and others calling for warfare against and subjugation of Infidels […]
Hamas jihadists to preach Friday sermons in Gaza’s mosques
This article is indignant about this plan to have jihadis preach the Friday sermons in mosques, but that indignation is unlikely to stop the plan. And in any case, the indignation is tardy and misplaced. The mosques in Gaza have been preaching jihad terrorism and hatred for Israel for years now; the only difference this […]
Afghanistan: Seven Islamic jihadists blown up while making bombs inside a mosque
How to get an F in your mosque’s bomb-making class. Your church has a bomb-making factory on the premises, doesn’t it? In recent years we have seen mosques used to preach hatred; to spread exhortations to terrorist activity; to house a bomb factory; to store weapons; to disseminate messages from bin Laden; to demand (in the […]
Kenya: Police raid mosque, find AK-47s, machetes, stun guns, jihadi flags, recording calling for jihad war, info on “Muslim traitors”
Yet another mosque run by misunderstanders of Islam who somehow got the crazy idea that jihad had something to do with warfare against unbelievers. Mosque leaders must have been reading the literature of greasy Islamophobes. “Kenyan police find trove of evidence in Mombasa mosque raid,” from Sabahi via Hiiraan Online, February 5: Kenyan police have […]
Tunisia: Imam gets six months prison for using mosque loudspeakers to tell his followers to murder police officers
To call the police officers taghout is a serious charge: the word means “rebels,” “evil powers,” even “idolaters.” “Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, who believe in superstition and false objects of worship [taghout] and say about the disbelievers, ‘These are better guided than the believers as to […]
