Jihad and Terrorism

Melanie Phillips
Melanie Phillips   As has been pointed out here before, the idea that the Muslim Council of Britain spokesman Inayat Bunglawala is a reformed character who now espouses moderate and liberal attitudes was always risible. Now he himself has helpfully provided fresh evidence that the very opposite is the case. On the Islamist website Islam Online, he has again supported the Muslim...

Steve Emerson     When a former imam from his mosque praised Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan as a "hero," Dar al-Hijrah outreach director Imam Johari Abdul Malik took to the airwaves to criticize the remarks and cast them as surprising:   "Let's be clear when Anwar Al Awlaki was at Dar Al-Hijrah, he was articulating the same message that I articulate today in Dar Al-...

The Islamic Mind of Major Nidal Hasan By Abul Kasem November 10, 2009 Just a few days ago a US army Psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, killed in cold blood 12 US soldiers and wounded 30 others. Main stream media says he was a loner, a frustrated person, who acted alone to soothe his dissatisfaction through slaughtering unarmed, unprovoked servicemen. It is like a lunatic gone loose—the...

Soon after the murderous attack on the enlisted men and women at Fort Hood, Texas, the picture of the officer who mounted that carnage was flashed on the television screen. It revealed the physiognomy of a Mideastern man! Before long, he was described as a psychiatrist with the rank of Major in the U. S. Army, the son of an immigrant Palestinian family, born and educated in the United States....

  The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report     U.S. Muslim Brotherhood leader Jamal Badawi has responded to a question posted in an Islam Online forum regarding the Fort Hood Shooting. In the statement, he excoriates U.S. and Western media, as well as Western society in general, for what he perceives as a vast, deep-rooted prejudice against Muslims:   The American...

By  Joy Tiz ©2009 Experts at MSNBC discovered  yesterday that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is contagious.  Presumably, Kathleen Sibelius is whipping up a vaccine which will soon be placed into the uber efficient HHS delivery system. Army psychiatrist Malik Nadal Hasan slaughtered 13 people and wounded over thirty others.  This was no random shooting spree, Hasan...

Written by Moeursalen I wonder if "innocent until proven guilty" applies to Nidal Malik Hassan. President Obama cautioned in a TV appearance that we should rush to judgment until "we know all the facts." However, I suppose we can draw conclusions about thirteen dead soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas. They were heroes, and they were shot down with malice at the hands of a man they had accepted...

On October 29, 2009, law enforcement sources reported that 37 year old Rabia Sarwar, a wife from New Brighton on Staten Island in New York, tried to slit her husband’s throat as he slept because he was not the devout Muslim she believed she married, and “pressured” her to eat pork and drink alcohol. In a rambling, five-page handwritten confession, Sarwar laid out what “mental and emotional...

Steve Emerson Two domestic terror investigations each took significant steps forward Wednesday, with a Massachusetts man, already charged with lying to federal investigators, facing the added accusation that he conspired to provide material support to terrorists. At about the same time the charge against Tarek Mehanna was announced, an Ohio man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for...

Steve Emerson U.S. efforts to disrupt terrorist financing schemes have put organizations such as al Qaeda in dire financial straits. That was the assessment of Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing David S. Cohen, in a speech Monday at the ABA/ABA Money Laundering Enforcement Conference. The speech was an opportunity to highlight counter-terrorist financing efforts while calling for...

James Carafano, PhD In the summer of 2008, a battle raged about 300 miles south of Mogadishu. There, along the banks of the Jubba River, rival militias fought for control of a port city. After days of savage conflict, the victors danced in the bloodied streets. Four years earlier, the Islamist group Al-Shabaab, “the youth,” had been just another obscure gang, thugs for hire in Somalia’s civil...

Steve Emerson In the U.S. and England, organizers are laying the groundwork for a convoy of relief aid destined for Gaza. It would be the third such venture by a group calling itself Viva Palestina. Its two previous trips saw the group deliver medical supplies, ambulances and other goods. They also included meetings with senior Hamas officials. In March, Viva Palestina's leader, British MP...
Mohammad Asghar
By Mohammad Asghar Many people have written many books, treatises and articles for the purpose of defining the role that jihad is supposed to play in the lives of Muslims. Most writers have tried, in their own ways, to come up with the “true” meaning of this word, while others took circuitous routes to make us believe that Islam means peace, and also the purpose for which, Allah has made jihad...

W. Thomas Smith, Jr. In the wake of several recent arrests of Jihadists across North America as well as the Obama administration’s insistence on renaming the very real global war on terror as simply a “transnational challenge,” U.S. Congresswoman Sue Myrick (R.-NC) is connecting the dots in a commonsensical show-don’t-tell approach to fact: Why this asymmetrical war by the Jihadists against us...

Chris Carter A Middle East terrorism expert has warned that Iran may use a terrorist group to strike the United States if it becomes threatened. “If Iran's regime is in trouble, either from the outside or even from a democratic uprising, it may order Hezbollah to attack the U.S.” said Dr. Walid Phares during a recent appearance on FOX News. This reiterates what Hezbollah themselves have...

By Lee Jay Walker Terrorists' attack on the World Trade Center buildings in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 The United States is now gradually waking up to a growing internal Islamic menace which desires to kill in the name of Islam. In the past week you have had three different cases involving Islamists who desired to kill and intimidate the people of America. In the United...

Najibullah Zazi arrives in NYC Hosam Maher Husein Smadi Michael C. Finton Dr. Walid Phares It is unprecedented in American counterterrorism annals: in one day, the nation was dealing with three separate jihadist plots to blow up civilian and other targets inside the homeland. Although the cases were addressed at different time periods by the FBI and other agencies, nevertheless, the...

The arrest of the would-be bomber in Illinois, Michael C. Finton, highlights what motivates fanatical converts to Islam. According to the New York Times, Finton "didn't like America very much" because it was too permissive and "not strict enough." Based on his alleged plot to murder people, it is obvious that the tolerant American society was also ultimately not harsh, cruel and brutal enough...

Steve Emerson In an amazing bit of irony, a Qatari government fund is creating the Al-Qaradawi Centre for Islamic Moderation and Renewal, named after leading Sunni scholar and self-proclaimed "Mufti of martyrdom operations" Yousef Al-Qaradawi. Its director claims that the center will direct its "moderation" towards "politicians and economists," train imams, and show the "huge difference between...

Douglas Farah Paul Pillar, former deputy CIA counter-terrorism chief, wrote an interesting op-ed in Wednesday’s Washington Post posing an important question regarding the Afghanistan conflict: Whether preventing a safe haven in Afghanistan would reduce the terrorist threat to the United States enough from what it otherwise would be to offset the required expenditure of blood and treasure and the...

Dr. Walid Phares Next week, an important summit will be held by a number of legislators from the European Parliament, the U.S. Congress and the Canadian Parliament to discuss "al Qaeda's and other Jihadi forces' campaigns worldwide against Democracies." The closed meeting, to take place in the U.S., is sponsored by the newly formed "Transatlantic Group on Counterterrorism (TAG)," launched in...

Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman We haven’t had another al Qaeda attack since 9/11, but not because they haven’t tried. Fortunately, we and the Europeans have apprehended wannabe terrorists with regularity. The FBI is better than we give it credit for – and the wannabes stupider than they think they are. However, there are some new wrinkles that should make us all uneasy. The most recent arrests are...
