Longtime Jihad Watch readers may recall Haroon Moghul, a veteran peddler of “Islamophobia” victimhood nonsense. Poor Haroon lives in a dark world where greasy, black-hearted Islamophobes lurk around every corner, such that he has to be constantly on guard, even against “Islamophobic” teen baristas: his Starbucks name is not Haroon but “Dwayne.” But despite fear […]
Minnesota groups seek money for job training, soccer programs to keep youths from joining jihad
This entire funding initiative and programs such as Building Community Resilience are based on the proposition that poverty and alienation, not Islamic doctrine, cause jihad terrorism, and thus the solution to jihad terrorism is to provide education, job opportunities, and outlets for prospective jihadis’ youthful energy: soccer programs and the like. The entire initiative is […]
Hamas rolls out new “tank”: wood mockup with sewage pipe for gun turret

See If You Can Spot the Problem,” by Sharona Schwartz, The Blaze, February 2, 2016: During a memorial service Saturday for seven Hamas militants killed when the tunnel they were in collapsed on them, Hamas rolled out what it called a […]
Erdogan: Islamic State has “nothing to do with Islam”
“Islam never allows terrorism; this is one. Secondly, Islam and terror cannot be mentioned together. Third, Daesh is a terror organization and it has nothing to do with Islam.” This from a man whom the Russians accuse of supporting the Islamic State.

Robert Spencer in Front Page: Dalia Mogahed: Mainstreaming Islamic Oppression
In FrontPage today I discuss Sharia advocate Dalia Mogahed’s recent appearance on the Daily Show, where she endeavored to explain why Islamic oppression of women is, hey, really cool. Dalia Mogahed, formerly Barack Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs, appeared on Trevor Noah’s sinking-like-a-stone Daily Show last week, to explain to a worshipful Noah and an […]
Islamic State manual tells jihadis to pretend to be Christians
Governing authorities and the media are sure to fall for this. They insist Islamic jihadis have nothing to do with Islam, anyway, and so a cross-wearing jihadi will be sure to fill the New York Times and CNN with portentous explorations of the phenomenon of “Christian terrorism.” Note also that the entire publication is for […]
Will 2016 Be the Year of Abbas Diplomacy?
Any early-January look ahead to the year in international politics would be incomplete without acknowledging the boldest diplomatic move of the year just ended. That move came when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas stole the spotlight from far more visible diplomats John Kerry, Mohammed Zarif and Sergey Lavrov by threatening unilateral withdrawal from the Oslo […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The “Ask A Muslim” Girl
Last week, outside the Public Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a personable, presentable, sweet-faced young Muslimah, one Mona Haydar, stood for several hours with her husband Sebastian (a convert to Islam), offering donuts and coffee to passersby under two big signs that read “Ask A Muslim” and “Talk To A Muslim.” Some of those passersby did […]

Two countries didn’t know they were in Saudi Arabia’s Muslim coalition against terrorism
War is deceit, said Muhammad. Saudi Arabia is the single country that is primarily responsible for spreading the belief system that incites terrorism around the world, so their commitment to fighting it is questionable at best, aside from protecting the House of Saud from encroachments from the caliphate that the House of Saud has done […]
