“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you, then indeed, he is of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.” (Qur’an 5:51) “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; those with him are […]
Robert Spencer in PJM: ISIS following al-Qaeda’s game plan for a caliphate
In PJ Media today I explain how Ayman Al-Zawahiri and bin Laden communications reveal that a caliphate has always been the goal.

Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder lawyer for doctor who helped CIA find Osama
If Pakistan were really an ally of the United States, Shakil Afridi would be a free man today, and Samiullah Afridi would still be alive.

“It is a historic fact that Islamic hostility for and aggression against non-Muslims transcends any and all temporal ‘grievances'”
Our old friend and former Jihad Watch writer Raymond Ibrahim, the most astute analyst of Al-Qaeda’s belief-system and ideology on the scene today, here elucidates a theme we have touched on many times here: why no redressing of Islamic grievances against the West (as Obama is relentlessly pursuing) will blunt the force of the global […]
