Lebanon: Sunni jihadis claim Beirut bombings, vow more jihad attacks against Shi’ites
The Sunni-Shi’ite enmity predated the U.S. presence in the Middle East, and the establishment of the State of Israel, and everything else that mainstream analysts point to in order to explain it away. And as long as there are Sunnis and Shi’ites, it will continue. The U.S. government would be foolish and self-defeating to try […]
Lebanon: Islamic jihadists planning to target Christians with jihad/martyrdom suicide attacks
Shhh! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims and possibly generate suspicion and even fear of people who practice piously the religion of Islam.” — Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester, February 8, […]
Bangladesh: Al-Qaeda calls for jihad against “anti-Islam secular government”
Note how similar al-Zawahiri’s rhetoric here is to “Palestinian” jihadist rhetoric retailing grievances against Israel and claiming that Muslims are being massacred, etc. In the absence of a caliph, all jihad activity has to be cast as defensive, because in Sunni Islam only the caliph has the authority to declare offensive jihad. Thus the same […]
Is al Qaeda on the path to defeat? National Intelligence Director: “No!” DHS Secretary: “Yes!”
Hey, kids, it’s time for another episode of Fun with the Obamas! Watch the antics as a gang of hardcore Leftist ideologues get the chance to apply their crazy theories in the real world — and then scramble for cover as the roof caves in on them! In tonight’s episode, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson repeats […]
Indiana: Muslim imprisoned for aiding al Qaeda says he is a resistance fighter, not a terrorist
There is always a great deal of discussion in the mainstream media of what exactly constitutes a “terrorist.” Slyly dishonest Islamic supremacists in the U.S. such as Hamas-linked CAIR’s Hussam Ayloush reassure credulous audiences by proclaiming, “I condemn all terrorism, including state terrorism” — without bothering to explain that they don’t consider Islamic jihadists to […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Exposed – The Muslim Brotherhood/Al-Qaeda Connection
[Via CBN News] As former Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi’s trials continue, it’s enlightening to consider what is likely to be one of the centerpieces of the trial: longstanding accusations that Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood party worked with foreign terrorist organizations, including al-Qaeda, against the national security of Egypt. Based on these accusations of high […]
Al-Qaeda’s commands to Morsi — on The Glazov Gang
This episode of the world’s premier counter-jihad chat show, The Glazov Gang, is marred somewhat by the return of its eponymous and erratic host from yet another one of his mysteriously unexplained and increasingly Johnny-Carsonesque absences, but the presiding poltroon is somewhat less slapdash than usual, and this is another rewarding episode — chiefly because […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Al-Qaeda — Defender of Christians?
Muslim persecution of Christians is the “Achilles Heel” of the global Islamic movement’s image—the surest way of exposing its supremacist and intolerant elements and one of the main reasons the major media and establishment rarely report or address it. The logic (fully explained here) can be summarized as follows: Islamic and jihadi attacks targeting the […]
John Kerry: “Al-Qaeda threat is real, it is getting out of hand”
John Kerry is still pushing for a much greater U.S. presence in Syria, and is using the al-Qaeda threat to make the case, despite the fact that al-Qaeda groups in Syria would be the chief beneficiaries of U.S. intervention against the Assad regime. Also, what does Kerry mean that the al Qaeda threat is real […]
Morsi to Zawahiri: ‘You are our partners in the governance of Egypt’
According to an Egyptian journalist, Dr. Lamis Gabar, one of many covering the Morsi trials, the deposed president and Muslim Brotherhood member once said to the Egyptian-born, former Muslim Brotherhood member and current al-Qaeda leader, Ayman Zawahiri: “You are our partners in the governance of Egypt.” Yet one more claim to be added to the many […]
State Department adviser on “extremism” urges U.S. to “befriend” al Qaeda
Establishment “experts” on foreign policy and Islamic jihad terror generally suffer from willful ignorance about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and traffic in comforting politically correct fictions about Islam being a religion of peace that has been hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists — a fiction that has led the U.S. […]
UK: Muslims in London demonstrate in favor of al Qaeda in Syria
These Muslims somehow have gotten the Islamophobic idea that democracy and secularism are incompatible with Islam. They must be misunderstanders of Islam. In any case, it sure is a good thing that Britain barred Pamela Geller and me from entering the country. If we had gone there, Muslims might have grown enraged by our “Islamophobia,” […]
Al-Qaeda to Morsi: Execute all Christians and secularists who oppose Sharia
Many of the alleged telephone recordings between ousted Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi and Muhammad Zawahiri, al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri’s brother, are becoming available on Egyptian media, and will likely be part of Morsi’s February 16 trial, dealing with his alleged conspiracies with variously foreign jihadi organizations. One call is especially telling regarding al-Qaeda’s enmity for […]
Israel: Three Muslims arrested in Jerusalem, “planned massive bombings”
Al Qaeda “may be a mortally wounded tiger that still has some life in it” — John Brennan, CIA director The wound looks less mortal all the time. “3 east Jerusalem al-Qaida recruits arrested, ‘planned massive bombings,’” by Yaakov Lappin for the Jerusalem Post, January 22 (thanks to all who sent this in): The Shin […]
Interfaith dialogue in Syria: Abducted Italian priest held in al Qaeda jail
They are working from the dictates of the Qur’an and Islamic law: “When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads.” — Qur’an 47:4 “As for the […]
Al Qaeda controls more territory than ever — 400 miles across heart of Middle East

Jihad/martyrdom suicide bomber murders twelve at Iraq army recruiting center

Syria: Al-Qaeda executes 50 foes of Sharia and Islamization at hospital
More mercy and compassion from those who style themselves as the most fervent defenders of the Compassionate and Merciful One. “Syria: al Qaida kills 50 prisoners in Aleppo, activists say,” from ANSAmed, January 7 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): (ANSAmed) – BEIRUT – Al Qaida militants have withdrawn over the past few hours from […]
Former al-Qaeda chief says al-Qaeda members can be deradicalized through “dialogue”
This really ought to be easy. If the mainstream narrative is true, al-Qaeda members are ignoring not only peaceful passages of the Qur’an, but the entire thrust of the Qur’an and Sunnah, which mandates peace and respect for non-Muslims. Yet they are clearly and invariably devout Muslim believers, so “deradicalizing” them ought to be a […]
“If anyone knows how to drive a tank, please come to the mosque”
“Fallujah is completely under the control of al-Qaida.” “Al-Qaida forces in Iraq securing Fallujah,” by Yasir Ghazi and Tim Arango for the New York Times via TwinCities.com, January 4 (thanks to Kenneth): BAGHDAD — Sunni militants fighting under the banner of al-Qaida appeared to make gains across Anbar province on Saturday, using snipers and rocket-propelled […]
