Virginia: Imam prays that Allah would “grant victory to his servants, the mujahideen, wherever they are” AUG 25, 2019 11:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER All the regimes against which the imam Shaker Elsayed rails are non-Sharia regimes. And when he asks Allah to grant victory to the mujahideen, he doesn’t have an interior spiritual struggle in mind, as is made clear when he says: “The door to freedom is stained red with the blood of all the hands that have knocked on it.” “Fairfax, VA Imam Shaker Elsayed: Arab Regimes Collaborate with Israel; We Must Remove Arab Governments by Any...

Here again we see the mystery on full display: it is very, very easy for Western non-Muslim political leaders, church officials, law enforcement authorities and the like to see that Islam is a religion of peace that rejects violence. It is much, much harder for an increasing number of young Muslims to see this. Maybe John Kerry, Joe Biden and the U.S. Catholic bishops could start going into mosques to lead seminars explaining to Muslims how to understand their religion properly.“Sabrine Djaermane and El Mahdi Jamali make court appearance,” by Steve Rukavina, CBC News, September 15, 2015: Two Montreal teenagers...

According to reporting from The New York Times, some of the Marines killed in the Chattanooga shooting were killed trying to draw the gunman’s fire away from another, larger group of innocent bystanders. “Some of the Marines who were shot to death last week in Chattanooga, Tenn., effectively sacrificed themselves to save the lives of others, diverting the gunman away from a larger group of potential victims, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation into the killings,” reports New York Times reporters Richard Pérez-Peña and Matt Apuzzo. “This could have been a lot worse,” they quote the...

After it was revealed that the Muslim shooter who on Thursday murdered four US Marines in Chattanooga, Tennessee was the son of a man who previously was on the terrorist watch list, new details have surfaced about the father. It has been widely reported that the shooter, Muhammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, was a naturalized American born in Kuwait. While it’s true his mother Rasmia Abdulazeez is from Kuwait, where Muhammod was born in 1990, multiple reports reveal that the attacker’s father Youssuf Abdulazeez actually hailed from Shechem (Nablus) in Samaria, a city under Palestinian Authority (PA) control. […] Experts have said...

Abdulazeez's anger was fueled by the dangerous Islamist/leftist lie about the treatment of Muslims in this country. Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, who murdered four Marines in a jihad terror attack in Chattanooga Thursday morning, attended Red Bank High School in the Chattanooga area. In his senior yearbook, he accompanied his photo with this self-pitying note: “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do? Any national security alert over Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez’s name would have been abundantly justified. In any case, he provides an intriguing case study in how little distinction there really is in the U.S. Muslim community between...

A once devoted, disciplined mixed martial arts fighter. A top student known for smarts, charm and humor. A devout Muslim, who kept in touch with his roots in the Middle East. That's how a former coach and classmates describe Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, who killed four U.S. Marines and wounded three more people Thursday in Chattanooga. Police killed Abdulazeez. People who knew him were stunned to hear he was the man who sprayed a military recruiting center at a strip mall with bullets, then drove 7 miles to assault a Navy Operational Support Center.

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan ends Friday, a spate of recent terrorist attacks by Islamist extremists — including massacres in Tunisia and Kuwait — has marred a time intended for contemplation and prayer. But for Muslim American immigrants in the Washington area, this Ramadan has offered an opportunity to send a contrasting message about Islam and to engage in unprecedented public outreach. Dozens of interfaith events have been held in mosques, embassies and government offices. Muslim charity drives have raised funds for damaged African American and Pakistani churches. Families have opened their homes to neighbors and colleagues to...

Thursday, on MSNBC’s “Hardball With Chris Matthews,” Vox’s chief political correspondent Jonathan Allen said Republican presidential candidate Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) was “making a play for religious bigotry” by calling the Tennessee shooting at two military facilities by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez that resulted in his death and the death of four Marines a consequence of “radical Islam.” Jindal released a statement on the Tennessee shooting that read “It’s time for the White House to wake up and tell the truth. And the truth is that radical Islam is at war with us. We must start by being honest about that....

Radicals warn 'it is only a matter of time' before another atrocity...A protest by hundreds of Osama bin Laden supporters sparked fury outside the US Embassy in London today as they staged a mock 'funeral service' for the terror leader. Police stepped in to separate the protesters and members of the English Defence League amid threats of violence from both sides. Radicals carrying placards proclaiming 'Islam will dominate the world' branded US leaders 'murderers' and warned vengeance attacks were 'guaranteed'. 'It is only a matter of time before another atrocity - the West is the enemy,' Abu Muaz, 28, from...

Public schools continue to be a battleground in the culture war, as the education establishment – composed primarily of leftists bent on political correctness – gains more ground.  This strain treats Christianity and its holidays as a pariah, while embracing Muslim holidays. The Hillsboro, Oregon school board just held a vote on what to call the time off school around Christmas and New Years.  It had traditionally been called “Christmas Break.”  But new calendars, produced by school staff, changed it to “Winter Break.”  The school board voted 4-3 to call it “Christmas Break.”  From OregonLive.com: “[School board member] Janeen Sollman...

A gang of men who groomed 60 schoolgirls for sex has been uncovered by police investigating the disappearance and murder of a 14-year-old in a northern seaside town, it was claimed. Officers investigating the unsolved disappearance of Charlene Downes in Blackpool in 2003 discovered that dozens more 13 to 15 year old girls from the area had fallen victim to grooming or sexual abuse, it was claimed. An unpublished police report identified 11 takeaway shops in the town centre which were being used as "honeypots" where the non-white men preyed on young white victims, who were given food, alcohol and...

Islamic fundamentalism is being allowed to flourish at universities, endangering national security, MPs and peers say. Academics are turning a blind eye to radicals because they do not want to spy on students, a report claimed. Despite "damning evidence" of a serious problem, little progress had been made in tackling the unsustainable situation, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Homeland Security said. They urged the Government to tackle the issue on campuses with "utmost urgency". Such extremism "endangers our security at home and has international implications that are serious enough to threaten our alliance relationships", said the group, which includes the...
