Lebanese journalist: ISIS kills based on texts that are “inseparable parts of true Islam”
This is what I have been saying for well over a decade now: that Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence, and that condemnations by Muslim groups aren’t enough, when nothing is being done within Muslim communities to counter the jihadis’ appeal and prevent young Muslims from accepting their understanding […]

Islamic State beheads two women for “sorcery”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 30, 2015 01:42 pm

Islamic State beheads two women for “sorcery”
This is the first time they have beheaded women. But the Qur’an says to “strike the necks” of unbelievers (47:4); it doesn’t specify that they must be male. “Daesh beheads 2 women in Syria,” AFP, June 30, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Daesh has beheaded two women in Syria on accusations of ‘sorcery,’ […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: Is free speech about Islam still possible in the US?

Robert Spencer in PJM: Is free speech about Islam still possible in the US?
At PJ Media today I provide a case study of how the freedom of speech is under threat today: Do we really still have freedom of speech in this country? An absurd question. Right? We still have the First Amendment, we still have the freedom to criticize any belief system and any individual. Don’t we? […]

UAE: Muslima sentenced to death for jihad murder of American teacher

UAE: Muslima sentenced to death for jihad murder of American teacher
She “embraced takfiri and jihadist ideology and then engaged in terrorist acts in support of the terrorist organisations Al-Qaeda and Daesh.” Where could she have turned in the UAE to find instruction as to why she should reject the ideology of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State? Where is the large-scale Muslim movement dedicated to refuting […]

Indonesia: Muslim cleric gets 4 years for funding jihad terror training camp

Indonesia: Muslim cleric gets 4 years for funding jihad terror training camp
How did he miss all of the Qur’an’s peaceful teachings — teachings that are so blazingly obvious to John Kerry, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Tony Abbott and the rest? How could a Muslim cleric, someone who has dedicated his life to understanding and imparting Islam properly, misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? Will Cameron or Johnson or […]

Tunisia: Beach jihad murderer trained in Libya with museum jihad murderer

Tunisia: Beach jihad murderer trained in Libya with museum jihad murderer
One might almost get the idea that there was a global jihad with a unified ideology and a single goal. But to think such a thing could be “Islamophobic,” so be careful. “Tunisia: Beach gunman trained in Libya with museum attacker,” by Bouazza ben Bouazza, Associated Press, June 30, 2015: TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — One […]

Egypt: Islamic jihadists murder top public prosecutor with car bomb
“The bombing also showed the risk of militant Islam threatening the Egyptian state leadership, as it did in the 1980s and 1990s.” And the Obama Administration holds secret talks with the Muslim Brotherhood. “Car bomb attack kills Egypt’s top public prosecutor,” by Ahmed Hassan and Omar Fahmy, Reuters, June 29, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): […]

Islamic State storms Syrian town on Turkish border
Time for the Pentagon to issue another explanation of how the Islamic State is losing. “Islamic State ‘storms Syrian town on Turkish border,'” ITV News, June 30, 2015: Islamic State fighters stormed the Syrian town of Tel Abyad on the Turkish border and captured a neighbourhood from Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, the Syrian Observatory for […]

US having trouble finding moderate Syrians willing to fight the Islamic State

US having trouble finding moderate Syrians willing to fight the Islamic State
“The main problem thus far has been finding enough Syrian recruits untainted by extremist affiliations or disqualified by physical or other flaws.” And so currently there are under 100 men receiving this training. No one, however, is willing to examine the larger implications of this. The Pentagon is pouring money into this program anyway. “Sputtering […]

New Jersey: Another Muslim arrested for trying to aid the Islamic State

New Jersey: Another Muslim arrested for trying to aid the Islamic State
Yet another misunderstander of Islam somehow gets the crazy idea that the completely un-Islamic entity known as the Islamic State was something that merited his support. No doubt John Kerry and David Cameron and Boris Johnson are on their way to West New York right now, so as to explain to Alaa Saadeh that his […]
