The Paradox of the “Moderate Muslim”
An American journalist of Iranian origin, Borzou Daragahi, tweeted the news of India’s first death due to Coronavirus. A few hours later, he retweeted the story, this time with the caption, “Retweeting this story again, just for the fun of it.

Macron Tries to Harden His Stance on an “Islam of France” (Part 2)
The Turkish author of the Hürriyet article on President Macron, that I began to discuss in an article yesterday, continues: Macron made his comments ahead of France’s municipal elections, and according to some international news outlets, the message was intended to elicit support from right-wing voters.

Malaysia: Islamic authorities say minimum age for marriage can’t be enforced as it is not specified in Islam
Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world.

The Trump administration contends that the bans are for security reasons, that the countries in question cannot or will not provide adequate information about the people wanting to come in.

Cameroon: Bishop says “not a day passes without attacks” by Muslims against Christians
Bishop Bruno Ateba better be careful. He is a Catholic bishop, and Pope Francis has made it very clear that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” The Catholic hierarchy ruthlessly moves to silence those who dare to state otherwise. Bruno Ateba could soon find himself […]
Islam is “a primary driver of Christian persecution in 8 out of the 10 most dangerous places for Christians to live”
“Islamic extremism is a primary driver of Christian persecution in eight out of the ten most dangerous places for Christians to live, Open Doors revealed Wednesday in its World Watch List 2020.” This is nothing new. The suffering endured by Christians because of Islamic supremacist bigotry and hate is unfathomable to most Westerners. Jihad Watch […]

Merry Christmas to all Jihad Watchers who are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ today.
