Boko Haram murders 50 as it pledges allegiance to the Islamic State
MARCH 7, 2015 7:06 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER28 COMMENTS
For the caliphate, now as throughout history, might makes right. The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims. The Islamic State now has the allegiance of jihad groups in the Philippines, Libya, and Nigeria, as well as control of a large area of Iraq and Syria. “Boko Haram declares […]

UK: Admirer of Awlaki who called for killing US & UK troops speaks at Parliament
MARCH 7, 2015 6:27 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER42 COMMENTS
He was warmly received. If anyone protested his appearance, it isn’t reported here. The shattered, staggering, dhimmi, subjugated UK is welcoming those who seek its ruin into the foremost corridors of power. “Islamist Sympathiser Launches ‘Muslim Manifesto’ in British Parliament,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, March 6, 2015: A known Islamist has appeared in Parliament […]

MARCH 7, 2015 5:30 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER36 COMMENTS
Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton said: “What we have here are two teenagers who have been intercepted on their way to a potentially very dangerous situation. As a result of this interception, a Sydney family remains together. This highlights afresh the need to work within communities and with parents to disrupt attempts to […]

Over 100 freed Gitmo detainees have returned to jihad
MARCH 7, 2015 4:18 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER24 COMMENTS
This is not surprising, since absolutely nothing was done at Guantanamo to disabuse these men of the beliefs that led them to wage jihad in the first place. Any such action would have been “Islamophobic.” And so the Qur’an, the book that inspired the actions that landed them in Guantanamo in the first place, is […]

Islamic State destroys 2,000-year-old city of Hatra
MARCH 7, 2015 11:56 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER41 COMMENTS
This follows closely after their destruction of Nimrud and of the Mosul museum artifacts. Clearly the Islamic State is determined to leave nothing un-Islamic in their domains. They want to create ruin and destruction of non-Muslim installations, because the Qur’an holds up ruins as the signs of Allah’s wrath upon the disbelievers: “Many were the […]

650 Muslims from Germany have joined the Islamic State
MARCH 7, 2015 6:49 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER33 COMMENTS
650 “Germans” have joined the Islamic State, according to the headline. Really? How many are Roman Catholics and how many are Lutherans? All 650 are actually Muslims, of course. Do they consider themselves Germans in any way other than geographically? Unlikely. They almost certainly were taught Islamic values, including the distaste that the “best of […]

“According to Sharia Law, a Saudi Arabian woman must be accompanied by a male guardian at all times in public, something the 19 year old victim did not obey when she went to meet a friend, according to website Live Buddhism.” Not just a “Saudi Arabian woman,” but any woman. Since the victim did not […]

Female Islamic State recruiter arrested at Barcelona airport
MARCH 7, 2015 4:35 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS
The Islamic State continues to show that it has enormous appeal for all too many young Muslims in the West. But Western authorities have forbidden themselves to study this phenomenon, as it would (if they were honest) lead them directly to a study of the caliphate and its centrality in Islamic doctrine. And that would […]

Mali: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” murders five in nightclub
MARCH 7, 2015 12:26 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER25 COMMENTS
Those who charge that concern over murders like these is just “Islamophobia” should kindly point out when Muslims have ever screamed “Allahu akbar” and then performed an act of charity, generosity, or magnanimity. “Five dead including Frenchman and Belgian in Mali restaurant terror attack,” by David Chazan, the Telegraph, March 7, 2015 (thanks to Pamela […]

Lebanese Christian converts to Islam, blows himself up for Islamic State
MARCH 7, 2015 9:30 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER25 COMMENTS
Once Haddad converted to Islam, he probably came into the company of people who affirmed their love for death. And so his jihad-martyrdom suicide attack is no surprise. Islamic supremacists frequently affirm how much they love death. Austrian Muslim teenage girls who recently traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram […]
