Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Navies seek “pirate cultural adviser”: “what we are really looking for here is someone who can help us know the enemy better”

By

They want to know all about the “‘business model and modus operandi’ of pirates in the Indian Ocean.” The books above will not tell them that, but they will tell them all about the pirates’ motives and goals. Political correctness and fear, however, will make them prefer to remain ignorant about the enemy in that […]

Somalia: Clashes erupt after president declares victory over al-Shabaab in Mogadishu

By

While the government and African Union troops now control 90% of the city, al-Shabaab is now simply in a position to do what jihadists do best, from Thailand to Afghanistan to Hamas-controlled Gaza to Nigeria to jihadist attacks in the West: not fighting like men, but engaging in asymmetrical, guerrilla warfare, launching random attacks to […]

Rep. King: More than 40 U.S. nationals have gone to Somalia to join jihad

By

Come for the jihad, stay for the samosas — wait, what? Awww, maaaaan! “Lawmaker: 40 Americans Joined Somali Al-Qaida Linked-terror Group,” from the Associated Press, July 26 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): WASHINGTON (AP) _ The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee says more than 40 Americans have been recruited by al-Qaida-linked terrorists in Somalia […]

Somalia: Islamic supremacists ban samosas for “resembling Christian Trinity”

By

Delicious, but haram I used to frequent an Afghan restaurant in the Washington, DC area that was run by observant Muslims; the wall decorations included Qur’an verses and a wonderful example of Islamic supremacist fantasy: a poster of an astronaut stepping out onto the lunar surface only to find a group of smiling Muslims already […]

UN urges “massive action” on famine Somali jihadists say doesn’t exist

By

If Somalia is starving, al-Shabaab’s opposition within the country is also starving or fleeing. That certainly appears to be a factor in their calculations, as they have dismissed the declaration of famine as “sheer propaganda.” The article below focuses on the supply of aid. There is also the question of distribution. Al-Shabaab is undoubtedly attempting […]

Al-Shabaab jihadists preventing aid from reaching 2.2 million Somalis

By

According to al-Shabaab, there’s no famine. And that’s that. There are surely some macabre calculations on the part of the jihadists: fewer people to fight and control, and fewer people with the physical wherewithal even to complain. They will starve the country to starve out the resistance to their taking over. “Al-Shabab prevents aid from […]

Somalia: Misunderstanders of Islam recruiting children for jihad

By

And forcing young girls into marriage, and punishing children for listening to music — they’re misunderstanding Islam on a massive scale. Why aren’t any of the groups that rail against “Islamophobia” doing something about this? “Somali children recruited for combat by Islamists: Amnesty,” from AFP, July 19 (thanks to all who sent this in): NAIROBI […]

U.K.: “Banned” jihadist hate preacher arrives at Heathrow, goes ahead with speaking engagements as criminals dodge deportation on “human rights” grounds

By

Banning: you’re doing it wrong, along with a few other things. One great irony here is that one of the cases depends on the notion that two prospective deportees would be in danger under Sharia in Somalia… even as Britain has imported Sharia and it becomes increasingly entrenched in the country. Where will one seek […]
