JIHAD WATCH
Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Charlie Hebdo Jihad Massacre: Time to Stand for Free Speech
As I predicted in this piece at FrontPage, the calls for limitations on the freedom of speech have already begun. Islamic jihad gunmen have murdered twelve people in the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. One of the jihad murderers in Paris shouted, “We have avenged the prophet Muhammad,” making it abundantly clear […]
Jihadis republish hitlist with X over slain Charlie Hebdo publisher’s face
“It’s very important not to be afraid but you have got to stand on these very valuable democratic principles on which our societies here in western Europe are based, so I hope we will not give in. You must not surrender the very important freedom of speech.” Must not surrender, yes. But the media is […]
German Interior Minister: Charlie Hebdo murders have nothing to do with Islam
“The extremist Islamism, Islamist terrorism, is something quite different from the Islam. And this differentiation is urgently needed just on a day like today.” On such fictions people like Thomas de Mazière have staked the future of the West and free societies everywhere. If only he were right. “Germany not sure? De Maizière warns against […]
One Charlie Hebdo jihad murderer dead, two in custody
UPDATE: Subsequent reports are saying they’re still at large. Their work is done: the mainstream media is in full capitulation mode, eagerly submitting to Sharia restrictions on the freedom of speech. Their mission is accomplished. “Paris Attack Suspect Dead, Two in Custody, U.S. Officials Say,” by Pete Williams, M. Alex Johnson and Jon Schuppe, NBC […]
MSNBC: Falwell suing Hustler same as Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
This appallingly risible analysis is the mainstream. If you point out that suing someone for libel is quite different from massacring someone, you’re just a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. Video thanks to Anne Crockett.
Ireland: Muslim scholar threatens legal action if Muhammad cartoons republished
“I am a great advocate of freedom of expression,” said Dr. Selim. This is how the freedom of expression is dying: at the hands of great advocates of freedom of expression, just as the self-appointed guardians of tolerance are authoritarian thugs who move to stamp out all dissent. “Muslim scholar could seek legal advice if […]
New jihad attack in Paris: Muslim shoots policewoman in the back
One wonders if there is any number of attacks like these that would break through the fog of willful ignorance surrounding the nature and magnitude of this threat, and move authorities in France and elsewhere to respond realistically and speak honestly about what we are facing. Probably not. “New terror in Paris as female police […]
MSNBC: “We have to respect Islam”
On MSNBC, Evan Kohlmann says: I think we need to understand here, there, there has to be the ability for people to be critical of other religions, of other ideas and whatnot. There has to be that ability. At the same time, look, we have to also respect Islam and we should not deliberately go […]
Fox, CNN, NBC won’t show Charlie Hebdo Muhammad cartoons
I don’t see them attached to this Washington Post piece, either. The entire mainstream media is capitulating to jihadist intimidation instead of standing up for the freedom of speech — which freedom, accordingly, is not long for this world. “Fox News has ‘no plans’ to air Charlie Hebdo cartoons,” by Erik Wemple, Washington Post, January […]
CNN policy: Charlie Hebdo Muhammad cartoons forbidden, “Piss Christ” okay
The freedom of speech is actually alive and well in the mainstream media, as long as you’re slamming Christianity in some way — look at the media adoration of Reza Aslan. But if you mock Muhammad, suddenly the mainstream media dons a hijab and goes silent. “CNN Policy: Charlie Hebdo Muhammad Cartoons Forbidden, ‘Piss Christ’ […]
