Merry Christmas to all Jihad Watchers who are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ tonight and tomorrow. The question before us this Christmas, as it is every Christmas these days, is whether or not Christians should be allowed to be Christian and celebrate Christmas freely, without being brutalized or discriminated against, if they live in […]

UK Muslim whines about “pernicious Islamophobia” at Christmas
While poor Bilal Hassam is beset by “Islamophobia,” here are some recent news items from the real world: Benedict Kiely Real Clear Politics reported last Tuesday that Christians in Iraq face a new threat from “Popular Mobilization Units,” who in the town of Karamles, near Mosul, recently blocked a road that led to a church, […]
Texas: Imam accused of sexual misconduct with teen girl now under fire for polygamy
Why is anyone angry that the imam Zia Ul-Haq Sheikh is behaving in a manner consistent with Islamic teaching? The Qur’an tells Muslim men that they can have as many as four wives, as well as “captives of the right hand,” i.e., Infidel sex slaves (4:3). Note also that Sheikh’s “grooming” victim was 13 years […]
Khaled Beydoun: The Saudi Regime Does Not Represent Islam (Part One)
Khaled Beydoun, author of a preposterous book about “Islamophobia,” has taken to the pages of Al Jazeera (the media mouthpiece of the government of Qatar, now at daggers drawn with Saudi Arabia) to deplore what he sees as blaming Islam for the murder of Khashoggi. The Khashoggi affair is yet another reason for the world […]
Syria: US-backed Kurdish forces take Hajin, the last town held by the Islamic State
The dream is very nearly over. The Islamic State’s dream of reestablishing the caliphate died relatively quickly. It declared its caliphate on June 29, 2014, and four and a half years later, its aspirations of establishing a vast Islamic empire have come to naught, although that is not to say that the Islamic State is […]
Canada: Trudeau paying those who live near Quebec border up to $25,000 for disruptions caused by migrant influx
Beyond the immediate medical, living and housing costs for economic migrants who are flowing into Canada illegally over the Quebec border, Canadian taxpayers are also doling out significant amounts of cash for an unexpected expense: Quebecers living by the Canada-United States border where thousands of migrants have crossed irregularly into the country since 2017 will […]
Egypt’s silent epidemic: Christian girls kidnapped by Muslim gangs to strengthen Islam and weaken Christianity
“Once a victim is delivered to a radical Islamist organization, he explained, her price tag, payable to the kidnappers, is big money in a cash-strapped country like Egypt. The kidnappers are happy with their share of the loot. However, their radical Islamist handlers have a ‘higher’ aim: to strengthen Islam and weaken Christianity.” The kidnappers […]
Canada: Opposition, protests and a petition against the UN Migration Pact
The UN Migration Pact represents a catastrophic dismantling of key components of democratic institutions by the United Nations, a body that has increasingly allied with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The Pact — officially named the “Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration” — indicates that it “offers a 360-degree vision of international […]
Australia: Imam in court over marriage ceremony involving 14-year-old girl
It is no surprise that an imam would be involved in this. 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. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s […]
Catholic priest: “Islam is not a religion of peace. Dialogue is useless unless the Quran changes.”
Pope Francis is not going to be happy about this. Here is an English version of an article from the Italian newspaper La Verità: an interview with a Roman Catholic priest, Fr. Mario Alexis Portella, who is apparently the only Roman Catholic priest in Italy who has the clearsightedness and/or courage to speak honestly about […]
