UK officials can’t stop battle-hardened jihadis from returning from Islamic State
NOVEMBER 28, 2014 11:32 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER3 COMMENTS
Foes of jihad terror — Pamela Geller and I — are not allowed to enter Britain. But the British authorities cannot figure out how to bar jihad terrorists from returning from the Islamic State. More absurdity as Britain gallops toward ruin: “Battle-Hardened Terrorists Will Return to The UK, And There is Nothing we Can do […]

UK jihadists funded by welfare benefits
NOVEMBER 27, 2014 7:35 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER16 COMMENTS
These jihadis no doubt consider these welfare benefits to be their due, in lieu of the jizya that the Qur’an says that Muslims should collect from subjugated non-Muslim People of the Book (9:29). In Islamic law, it is the place of non-Muslims to turn over their funds to the Muslims. “Jihadists funded by welfare benefits, […]

One said that they are not “at the behest of any authority other than Islam.” We have seen this again and again, all over the West, as it is a mainstream Islamic belief that Muslims do not owe allegiance to any Infidel authorities. Those Infidel authorities, however, persist in refusing to understand what they are […]

Recruiting for the Islamic State was going on in mosques? One might almost get the idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam. But of course, that would be “Islamophobic.” “Austrian police arrested 13 men targeting suspected jihad recruiters,” AFP, November 28, 2014: VIENNA (AFP) – Austrian police arrested 13 people and […]
Ireland: Muslim told Jihad Jane he was a “devoted jihadist”
NOVEMBER 28, 2014 3:36 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
Jihad Jane, meanwhile, was plotting to murder the cartoonist Lars Vilks for daring to draw Muhammad. Apparently both Jihad Jane in Pennsylvania and Charaf Damache in Ireland misunderstood Islam and jihad in the same way, as having something to do with killing those they considered to have insulted Muhammad. How very odd! “Charaf Damache told […]

UK: Muslima charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter
NOVEMBER 27, 2014 7:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER5 COMMENTS
It is unfortunate that the British authorities are so unreflective that they never seem to consider the question of why what they consider to be an un-Islamic misunderstanding of Islam is so widespread. Nor do they ask themselves why mosque authorities are doing nothing to combat this misunderstanding. “Woman charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter,” […]
