“Abducting Women” and “Destroying Churches” is “Real Islam,” Says Iraqi Grand Ayatollah
During a recent televised interview with Grand Ayatollah Ahmad al-Baghdadi, the leading Shia cleric of Iraq made clear why Islam and the rest of the world can never peacefully coexist.

Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Clad as woman, Islamic State suicide bomber slays 10 at Houthi mosque; airstrike kills family,” Reuters, September 25, 2015: SANAA – At least 10 Muslim worshippers performing Eid al-Adha prayers were killed […]
Muslim group accuses Muslim filmmaker of blasphemy for film on Muhammad
Part of the problem is that this is a Shi’ite production, and so Sunnis are enraged. But what is ironic about this accusation of blasphemy charge is that the film is a sanitized, whitewashed version of Muhammad’s life, produced for the purpose of proselytizing. But even that isn’t good enough: now filmmaker Majid Majidi and […]
Afghanistan: Sunni jihadists murder 13 Shi’ites on a minibus
The Sunni/Shi’te jihad has killed far more people than the trumped-up propaganda term “Islamophobia.” Yet no one seems particularly concerned about it as a human rights issue.

Islamic State burns four Iraqi Shiite fighters alive
Many will say that this is additional proof of the claim that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam.

Syria: Sunni jihadis fire 1,000 missiles at Shi’ite towns
“Al-Nusra and many of its hardline allies consider Shiite Muslims to be heretical” — and in Islamic law, a pious Muslim is to put a heretic to death. How many missiles have “Islamophobes” fired at Muslims over the last few days? Why, none. Yet how much publicity does “Islamophobia” get in the West, compared to […]
ISIS Muslim cleric tells Shia: “Allah willing, we shall slaughter you like sheep”
“We are ready for you, oh enemies of Islam. By Allah, all we have in store for you is slaughter. Allah willing, we shall slaughter you like sheep.” Muslim clerics both for and against the Islamic State are calling Muslims to slaughter as a religious duty. How does this all-pervasive misunderstanding of Islam afflict even […]
Ramadan in Yemen: Islamic State explodes car bomb at Shi’ite mosque
“The car bomb, at the Al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sanaa, went off as worshippers were leaving after evening prayers, witnesses and a security official said.” That was so as to maximize the carnage. “In a brief statement posted on jihadist websites, Islamic State said it had ‘taken revenge’ against the Huthi rebels who have seized […]
