New in PJ Media: It is an unchallengeable dogma of our post-9/11 civic faith that every Muslim in the United States, from the leaders of national Muslim organizations to the rank-and-file believers in the serried ranks of worshipers at mosques around the country, is a “moderate.” Everyone assumes that Muslims in the U.S. all reject […]
Maryland imam: We need some people to ‘sacrifice their money and their blood and their wealth for the sake of Allah’
Ragab Abdelmoneim is not an “extremist.” He is simply reflecting the teaching of the Qur’an, which calls on believers to wage violent jihad: “Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have an injury, are not equal with those who wage jihad in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. […]
Michigan: ‘Each and every one of us is supposed to dream of the opportunity of engaging in jihad with the enemy’
Usama Abdulghani refers to an “enemy” in jihad; some might insist that he means the devil, and that his jihad is a spiritual struggle. Those people will, unfortunately, be in for a rude awakening when Abdulghani’s exhortations come to fruition within his community. “Dearborn, Michigan Shi’ite Scholar Usama Abdulghani: Every Muslim Should Dream Of Engaging […]
Virginia imam: ‘The best thing we can do to America is help guide it with the guidance of Islam’
In late March, a prominent Muslim speaker and teacher in Britain, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble, stated that Islam “has been sent to dominate, to wipe out, to take out every other religion.” But he must be an “extremist,” right? Sure. The people we have been told were “extremists,” however, are quite a bit more numerous than […]
Afghanistan: Senior Muslim cleric says subjects such as science and technology ‘not necessary for women’
We can all hope, for the sake of the women and girls in Afghanistan, and for Afghan society as a whole, that the claims of those who say that these restrictions have no basis in Islamic teachings will win out. But Westerners should not kid themselves (yes, I know, they will anyway). The Islamic case […]
Buffalo, New York: Imam rejoices that people now openly speak against Jews
The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They […]
Montreal: Muslim cleric says ‘the most beloved act of Allah is to shed blood’
Charkaui says: “Stop repeating that it is ‘the festival of the sheep’ and talking about how expensive they are. There are many ways to sacrifice. Let us not reduce this important day to a simple lamb. The most important thing we must understand is that on this day, Eid Al-Adha, the tenth day of the […]
Syria: Islamic State murders Shia imam, Iran blames ‘US-Israeli conspiracy’
Of course. What else could it be? Sunnis and Shia have been killing each other for 1,400 years, but that couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this, right? It’s got to be the Great Satan and the Little Satan. “ISIS claims responsibility for killing of Shiite imam in Damascus car bombing,” The New Region, […]

New York City: Muslim cleric accused of groping 10-year-old girl in Queens mosque
Where did Tajul Islam get the idea that a ten-year-old girl would be a suitable sexual partner? Might it have been from his prophet? There is abundant justification for child marriage in Islamic law, as it is in accord with Muhammad’s example, so these clerics can’t possibly find anything wrong with the practice. Those who wave […]
