My latest in PJ Media: The Islamic Republic of Iran, facing demonstrations at home that threaten its very existence and more in Iraq that threaten that country’s Shi’ite proxy government, is resorting to a tested and true strategy. Fox News reports that “crowds of angry Iraqis protesting America’s recent airstrikes against an Iran-backed militia have […]

Hezbollah and militia now chanting “Allahu Ackbar” – US Embassy Baghdad pic.twitter.com/2gUxwZ9uC6 — Iraqi Mourner Poso ?? (@JackPosobiec) December 31, 2019 This gives the lie to the establishment media claims about the meaning of “Allahu akbar.” It does not mean “God is great,” and is not a simple manifestation of Islamic piety.

In Iraq, Stirrings of an “Ungrateful Volcano”
Perhaps you remember all those high hopes once expressed by Americans for bringing democracy to “ordinary moms and dads” in Iraq, as President George Bush called them.

Baghdad: Seven wounded as Sunni Muslims bomb Shi’ite mosque
In The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can order here now, I show that the Sunni/Shi’ite split goes back to the earliest days of Islam, and has often over the centuries erupted into violence.

Iraq: 80-year-old man prays, starts to walk out of mosque, is murdered by the Islamic State
This proves that the Islamic State (ISIS) isn’t Muslim, right? Otherwise, why would they kill Muslims praying in mosques?

Ramadan in Iraq: Sunni jihad suicide bomber murders at least five people in cafe in Baghdad Shi’ite area
“A police source told AFP five people had been killed and 16 others wounded in the overnight bombing, which hit people who had gathered after breaking their daily Ramadan fast.” But they were the wrong kind of Muslims, and so by the commands of Islam to kill apostates and heretics, they had to die. “Five […]
Ramadan in Iraq: Sunni jihad suicide bomber murders seven in park in Baghdad Shi’ite area
Ramadan is the month during which Muslims redouble their efforts to please Allah. And Allah commands: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise.

Iraq to prosecute people violating Ramadan fast in public
Piety enforced by the threat of legal punishment is not piety, it’s just outward conformity based on fear. “Iraq to prosecute people violating Ramadan fast in public,” by Mohamed Mostafa, Iraqi News, May 24, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraqi authorities will prosecute people violating the Muslim daytime fasting rituals. The […]
On the anniversary of the Holocaust’s forgotten pogrom, let’s recall who the “Palestinians” have always been
The jihad against Israel is nothing new, and it didn’t start with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 — as I show in detail in my forthcoming book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (click here to preorder). This riveting account by Tiffany Gabbay, whose family survived the Farhud in […]
