Against the background of the talk of "never again" and while the people of Israel commemorate Holocaust Remembrance and Heroism Day and the memory of the millions of murdered, tonight (Wednesday) hundreds of Arabs called for the massacre of Jews. The Arabs chanted "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" and "Muhammad's army will return" and waved PLO flags on the Temple Mount. The police are preparing with large forces to prevent riots and terrorist incidents, against the background of the arrival of tens of thousands of Arabs this evening in Jerusalem in order to mark Lil al-Qedar, in which the Muslims believe...

Just in. I am looking at a picture of the WTC with smoke pouring out of the western tower. Looks like a huge amount of damage. Debris raining down on people in the street.

"Inside the Islamic State's realm, the paper testifying that you have "repented" from your heretical past must be carried at all times. Many people laminate it just to be safe. It can mean the difference between life and death."

Raised a Christian, Manuel Gomez now goes by Mohamed Chechev, and counts himself among a handful of Tzotzil Indians converted to Islam by Spaniards in southern Mexico. "I am Muslim. I know the truth. I pray five times a day, celebrate Ramadan and have travelled to Makkah," Chechev said in rudimentary Spanish. He lives in a mainly Protestant community in Chiapas called Nueva Esperanza on the outskirts of San Cristobal de las Casas, where he shares a modest house with 19 relatives and sells vegetables he grows on a plot of land. Biblical references abound in Nueva Esperanza, with streets...

This is a video of Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi that was shown on Jihadi Television (Al-Jazeera Arabic, Qatar). In the video, Al-Qaradhawi says that "Allah imposed Hitler upon the Jews to punish them - Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers."

WASHINGTON - Intelligence experts scouring the latest video of Osama bin Laden for clues warned on Saturday that his message offers hints that Al-Qaeda is planning another attack on US interests. In his first video appearance in three years, the elusive Al-Qaeda chief mocks the United States as "weak" and vows to escalate fighting in Iraq, all the while using language similar to the kind used ahead of other past attacks. At times, bin Laden speaks directly to Americans, using plain language that "appears to be crafted in a way as to be understood by the average person on the...

According to another employee who witnessed the events, and who hid when he saw the insurgents approach, the insurgents questioned Ayad...

PA Television: Western Wall's Real Name is Al Buraq Wall 02:32 Oct 23, '06 / 1 Cheshvan 5767 (IsraelNN.com) Palestinian Authority (PA) television has broadcast programs teaching viewers that Jews' first connection to the Western Wall was in the 16th century, and that the site actually is called the Al Buraq wall. The programs state it was named after the horse of the Muslim prophet Mohamed, according to a dispatch from Palestine Media Watch (PMW). "The Jewish connection to this site is a recent connection, not ancient, like the roots of the Islamic connection. Who would have believed that the...

Many people have written many books, treatises and articles for the purpose of defining the role jihad is supposed to play in the lives of the Muslims. Most writers have tried, in their own ways, to come up with the [true] meaning of the Arabic word [Jihad,] others took circuitous routes to emphasize on what they believed was the purpose for which Allah has purportedly made the launching of jihad by Muslims an integral part of their lives. Until recently, my mind had remained in a state of dichotomy; it being the result of the inadequate attention, I admit, I...

Dear Sheikh! As-Salam `Alaykum. What, according to the Qur’an, are the main characteristics and qualities of Jews? Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

LAHORE, Pakistan - A Pakistani court in the first verdict of its kind has declared valid the marriage of a 12-year-old girl, a lawyer and court officials said on Friday. A judge sitting at the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore gave the ruling on the grounds that in Islam a female can marry if she has reached puberty, the officials told AFP. He accepted a joint petition by the girl, named as Zeenat Bibi, and her 25-year-old husband Babar Javed and dismissed charges of rape which were filed by her father. “This is the first time that...

In Islam, lying or omissions for the 'greater good,' according to a strict or radical Islam/Islamist philosophy is not only acceptable, it is holy and blessed work. It is called al-Takeyya (or al-Taqiyya) and is a strategy outlined in the Hadiths and supported by various interpretations of some of the Suras in the Koran. We have just seen it in action and most people never even caught the whiff of mental ether the Islamists were pouring into the airways of the already comatose and choking non-Islamist world. Al-Takeyya is a policy whereby a Muslim may lie, deceive or omit critical...

It is called survival. My heart cries out from the things that were done this week. As I looked at the pictures and read the story of what had happened this week in Russia, tears began to pour down my face. I sobbed as I have not done in years. It still hurts. These children are not my children. Their parents are not relatives of mine. Not too long ago I considered them enemies. But today I understand that they were never my enemies. And that they are my children and I am related to them. If these are...

JAMMU, India A 65-year-old man and his son and daughter were beheaded and his wife severely wounded in an overnight raid on a village in India's Jammu-Kashmir state by suspected Islamic militants, police said Monday.

The attackers also tried to behead Shafi's wife but she survived, and was in hospital in serious condition, police said. The village...

Reactions to the grotesque jihadist decapitation of yet another "infidel Jew," Mr. Berg, make clear that our intelligentsia are either dangerously uninformed, or simply unwilling to come to terms with this ugly reality: such murders are consistent with sacred jihad practices, as well as Islamic attitudes towards all non-Muslim infidels, in particular, Jews, which date back to the 7th century, and the Prophet Muhammad's own example. According to Muhammad’s sacralized biography by Ibn Ishaq, Muhammad himself sanctioned the massacre of the Qurayza, a vanquished Jewish tribe. He appointed an "arbiter" who soon rendered this concise verdict: the men were to...
