Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

French prosecutor: Muslim driver who hit pedestrians screamed “Allahu akbar” “to give himself courage to act, and not out of religious belief”
DECEMBER 23, 2014 1:07 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER1 COMMENT
“Tarrare described the man as a French-born son of North African immigrants, acted alone and had no religious motivations, but was upset at the treatment of Chechen children.” Let’s see. Why is a Muslim from North Africa, living in France, concerned about Chechen children? He is not Chechen. He does not live in Chechnya. If […]

MONTREAL – A 21-year-old man is facing terrorism-related charges after threatening to attack four police […]

Robert Spencer in FP: The NYPD Cop-Killing: The Chickens Come Home to Roost
DECEMBER 23, 2014 1:10 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER20 COMMENTS
In FrontPage today I explain how Ismaaiyl Abdullah-Muhammad gave Bill de Blasio and Linda Sarsour what they have worked for so assiduously — despite their protestations to the contrary:
When Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley murdered NYPD Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu as they ate lunch in their patrol car last Saturday, the only people who could […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Obama: Against Free Speech Before He Was For It
DECEMBER 22, 2014 11:39 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER11 COMMENTS
In FrontPage I discuss the latest champion of free speech: Barack Obama, of all people — and why his defense of this right rings hollow:
As far as Barack Obama is concerned, Sony was wrong to capitulate to threats from North Korean hackers and pull the movie The Interview. “I wish they had spoken to me […]

France: Another Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” plows truck into pedestrians, injuring a dozen people
DECEMBER 22, 2014 2:57 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER76 COMMENTS
Islamic jihadists called for attacks on France, and suddenly mentally ill people unaccountably screaming “Allahu akbar” are coming out of the woodwork. This is the third jihad attack in France in as many days. “Truck mad at Nantes. A dozen injured, five seriously,” Ouest France (translated), December 22, 2014 (thanks to Marc):
A van crashed into […]

FBI warns of possible Islamic State jihad terror plot in Memphis

FOX13 News, WHBQ FOX 13
An “USPER” is a U.S. person, that is, an American who is willing to carry out jihad attacks for the Islamic State — that is, in MyFox13’s parlance, “radicalized extremists.” Radicalized in what? Extreme in what? They don’t say, of course.

Saudi Grand Mufti: Child marriages are OK
DECEMBER 23, 2014 9:11 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER11 COMMENTS
Islamic apologists in the West argue furiously that child marriage has nothing to do with Islam, and that the idea that Muhammad married a child is the invention of greasy Islamophobes. The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, unaccountably, seems to be one of those Islamophobes.
In reality, few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law […]

More indication that Ismaaiyl Abdullah-Muhammad, aka Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, was indeed intending to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60) when he shot NYPD cops Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

Another Muslim from Minnesota killed fighting for the Islamic State
DECEMBER 22, 2014 11:27 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER20 COMMENTS
When Muslims from Minnesota were going to fight with al-Shabaab in Somalia, authorities dismissed it as a manifestation of ethnic loyalty: they were Somalis going back to Somalia to fight for their homeland. But Somalis going to Iraq and Syria? That cannot be explained away by referring to ethnicity: it is clearly motivated by religious […]

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists massacre civilians, say they’re being killed because they’re infidels
DECEMBER 22, 2014 2:01 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER16 COMMENTS
“We have made sure the floor of this hall is turned red with blood, and this is how it is going to be in all future attacks and arrests of infidels. From now, killing, slaughtering, destruction and bombing will be our religious duty anywhere we invade.” Our “religious duty,” he says. What religion are these […]
