In Belgium, it looks as if authorities are already opting for the latter. And Belgium is not alone. In Sharia Sweden, police hunted for people who burned the Qur’an […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer 50,000 Muslims in Bangladesh, 2,000 in Indonesia demonstrate against Muhammad cartoons When have we seen crowds of comparable size protesting against the supposed “hijacking” of the peaceful religion of Islam by jihad terrorists? Right, never. In July 2016, a much smaller than anticipated crowd showed up at a Muslims Against ISIS rally in Washington, D.C. There are thousands of Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, but only 100 […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Syrian jihadi fighting for Azerbaijan says he was promised $100 for each beheaded non-Muslim “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks,” says the Qur’an (47:4), and when there is a financial incentive added, it’s all the sweeter. This is yet more confirmation that many Muslims regard the Azerbaijan/Armenia conflict as yet another front in the global jihad. “$100 dollars for each beheaded infidel: Shocking testimony of detained Syrian […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Austria: Vienna jihad murderer had gone to deradicalization program, was not considered a terror threat I’ve been pointing out for years that deradicalization programs are an abysmal failure everywhere they have been implemented. From the Jihad Watch archives: UK: London jihadi stabbed man at deradicalization event, victim’s father hopes killing won’t be used as a “pretext” Gitmo prisoner reveals: Saudi “deradicalization program” is really a jihad training program 11 ex-Gitmo […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Austria: Jihad murderer was well known to security services and member of a mosque that was monitored But obviously the mosque was not monitored well enough. And he was well known to security services but still running around loose and not being watched. This shows yet again that existing counterterror efforts are simply not adequate to deal with the real threat. “CALL TO ARMS Vienna shooting: ISIS gunman ‘sent Charlie Hebdo massacre […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Austria: Vienna jihad murderer sent videos of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre to suspected accomplices Firing them up to wage jihad. “ISIS urged jihadis to ‘spill the blood of Crusaders’ in ‘revenge’ for cartoons in an ‘incendiary campaign.'” Why would killing people in Austria be revenge for “blasphemy” in France? Because as far as jihadis are concerned, they’re all Christians, and the cartoons are part of a Crusade against Islam.

Not all devout Muslims are jihad terrorists, but all jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. Yet back in 2011, the Obama administration removed a sudden immersion in Islam as a sign of a possible turn to […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Florida: Imam says ‘It is a form of polytheism when you elect people who are going to rule not according to Sharia’ What is the likelihood that Dr. Yousef Fadi Kablawi is teaching the Muslims at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah North Miami to be loyal American citizens with respect for the political process and the rule of American law? Of course, it’s “Islamophobic” to ask such questions, so they will not be answered, but sooner or later they […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Muslim UFC lightweight champion prays that Allah will ‘disfigure the face’ of Macron and his followers Khabib Nurmagomedov says: “we will just say that truly you cannot harm Muhammad and the blessed memory of him in the hearts of one and a half billion people.” If that is true, why is Nurmagomedov praying for the humiliation and disfigurement of Macron and his followers? Clearly Nurmagomedov believes that a great wrong has […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer Netherlands: Muslim cleric calls for legislation protecting Islam from insults Elforkani justifies his demand by creating a false equivalence: “when our Jewish brothers are attacked, it quickly becomes anti-Semitism and that is not allowed.” Where in the Netherlands or in Europe at large is criticism of Jews prohibited? Meanwhile, some of Elforkani’s Muslim brothers in the Netherlands have engaged in viciously anti-Semitic rhetoric, as well […] Read more 2020-11-03  •  Robert Spencer David Horowitz Freedom Center P.O.
