The story is here: The Syrian regime under President Bashar Al-Assad has announced that it will build a miniature replica of the Hagia Sophia, in opposition to the Turkish government’s reversion of the building from a museum into a mosque. “The construction of this mini Hagia Sophia, taking place in the central province of Hama, […]
Syria, Turkey, and Russia, When What’s to Come is Still Unsure (Part 2)
In Idlib, the killing of 33 Turkish troops, by Syrian or possibly, though less likely, by Russian troops, has led to a situation of high tension that will certainly lead to much greater clashes between the Syrian army and the Turkish forces in Idlib, and might lead to a direct conflict between Turkish and Russian […]
Syria, Turkey, and Russia, When What’s to Come is Still Unsure (Part 1)
It was not even two months ago, at the beginning of January, that Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan and Russian President Putin seemed to be best friends forever. Turkey had continued to insist, against the wishes of the United States and other NATO members, on buying the Russian S-400 missile defense system, even if that infuriated […]
Putin calls Trump to thank him for help to stop jihad massacre plot
The Left is so deranged these days, there will probably be new calls to remove Trump from office over this. There is no doubt that many Leftists think that the specter of hundreds of Russians being murdered in a jihad massacre is not as bad as Trump aiding Putin, except insofar as that aid can […]
Putin quotes Qur’an in meeting with Rouhani and Erdogan: “You were enemies and He brought your hearts together”
“And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers.” That’s Qur’an 3:103. Here are some other Qur’an verses Putin might enjoy quoting: “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you […]
Putin: “Islam and Orthodox Christianity are based on fundamental humanistic values — respect for human beings”
Interesting! Respect for human beings, eh? Like these passages? “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those […]
China and Russia declare “solidarity” with Iran after Gulf tanker attacks
“Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed solidarity with Iran…even as the U.S. Navy revealed evidence the Iranians were behind the terrorist attack on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.” The two oil tankers were Japanese and Norwegian. The U.S. military released a video it says “shows Iran’s […]
Serbia: Muslim amassed weapons and explosives, plotted jihad murder of Vladimir Putin
Meanwhile, in the U.S., another Muslim was plotting the jihad murder of Donald Trump, or at least a jihad attack on the White House. A key goal of the Islamic State and other jihad groups is to weaken and destabilize non-Muslim governments, so that they can take advantage of the resulting chaos to emerge as […]
American officials call Putin’s claim about Islamic State hostages in Syria “fake news”
Jihad Watch reported yesterday about Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s claim that the Islamic State had returned in Syria, took 700 hostages, and was threatening to murder 10 of them every day. It remains certain that jihadists will do any and everything they possibly can to conquer territory, no matter how violent and abusive their actions. […]
Putin says Islamic State returns in Syria, takes 700 hostages, threatens to murder 10 every day
Westerners still largely deny the fact that jihad by the sword is a 1,400-year-old phenomenon. The rise of the Islamic State merely served to embolden jihadists globally. Even in the face of defeat and the dismantling of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, Islamic State called repeatedly for attacks on Western soil, which are […]
