Some time ago here at Jihad Watch I had an exchange with an English convert to Islam. I said: “I would like nothing better than a flowering, a renaissance, in the Muslim world, including full equality of rights for women and non-Muslims in Islamic societies: freedom of conscience, equality in laws regarding legal testimony, equal […]

Video: David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise on Sharia and the freedom of speech
Must-see video: Sharia: Threat to American Freedom, a conference at which the standout American Freedom Law Center lawyers David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise spoke in Cincinnati last week. A highlight of Muise’s presentation is his discussion of our American Freedom Defense Initiative freedom of speech cases. Don’t miss this one.
Central African Republic: Ten dead as Chadian troops fire on Christian civilians
The mainstream media is filled with stories about how Muslims in the Central African Republic are being targeted by the Christians. Rarely is it explained that these Christians are retaliating against jihad attacks against them that displaced thousands of people. Also, rarely are stories like this one, in which Muslim troops from Chad inexplicably opened […]
“We will enter churches and slaughter Christians…We are calling on all Muslims to come out and fight jihad”
Here is a pungent bit of interfaith outreach from the Jamaʻat Ahl as-Sunnah lid-daʻwa wal-Jihād, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, better known as Boko Haram (“Books bad!”). What is astonishing about this is how the mainstream media ignores this frankly and openly genocidal rhetoric, and instead focuses on […]
Terrorism theories grow as international security services join search for flight MH370
MI6, the CIA and Chinese intelligence are involved in the search. But there is still nothing conclusive. The jihadist Saajid Badat said that the pilot was involved, but he was speculating just like everyone else. “Search for missing Malaysia Airlines plane: is this the wreckage of flight MH370?,” by Robert Mendick for the Telegraph, March […]
DDoS Attack today
Since midday today, and not for the first time, unknown assailants have been attacking Jihad Watch with a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. It’s probably no surprise that this site is actually under continual attack, but today the attack has been significant in size. It’s not rocket science to carry out these attacks, but they are […]
Kerry suggests defining Israel as “national homeland for Jews”
Why exactly a “national homeland for Jews” would be acceptable to “Palestinian” Islamic supremacists in a way that “Jewish state” isn’t remains unclear, but the “Palestinians,” as maximalist and unilateral as ever, have already rejected the proposal, so we will probably never glimpse the arcane reasoning processes of the formidable Kerry. “Report: Kerry suggests defining […]
Brunei’s Sultan to impose Sharia this week, complete with stonings and amputations
Ground Zero Mosque Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf once said this about Sharia’s compatibility with the U.S. Constitution: “The only truly clashing area is the penal code, and no Muslim has the intention of introducing that to America. The penal code is the area that people in the Western world are worried about — but these […]
U.S. blocks Christian governor from Nigeria peace talks
“The USIP confirmed that all 19 northern governors were invited, but the organization did not respond to requests for comments on holding the talks without the region’s only Christian governor.” Of course it didn’t, because Emmanuel Ogebe is quite obviously correct that Jang’s “visa problems” are “because of bias in the U.S. government.” Ogebe notes […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood supporters attack church, four dead
Among other forms of “retaliatory terrorism,” some 80 Christian churches were attacked in Egypt immediately after the June 30 Revolution, which saw the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood president Morsi. And now that Egypt has sentenced to death hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood supporters for the widespread terror they launched on the nation after the people’s revolution, […]
