The Unexpected Return of This Week(ish) in Jihad

Thursday, September 25th, 2014

Bombing, revolution, and other jihad-related news breaking out, so let’s dust off this old headline category and throw up some links.

  • Our air force continues to bomb ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria, including hitting their oil refineries.
  • France has been helping us bomb ISIS in Iraq as well, though evidently not in Syria.
  • Syrian Kurds flee into Turkey.
  • Did Hamas just give up control of Gaza? If so, I’d say Israel won the war decisively…
  • Houthi rebels have taken Yemen’s capital of Sana’a just a day after signing a peace treaty with the government. They follow Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, a Zaidi Shia (i.e., Fivers rather than Twelvers) as opposed to the formerly ruling Sunnis. I can’t tell from scanty news reports how interested they are in jihad or imposing Sharia law (or imposing more Sharia law, since the existing constitution is evidently partially based on it).
  • Jury finds Arab Bank liable for supporting Hamas by paying out martyrdom payments for suicide bombings in Israel.
  • “Coming Soon in Aceh [Indonesia]: Shariah Law for Non-Muslims. (Hat tip: Jihad Watch.)
  • Jihadists are eyeing the porous Mexican border as a way to launch terrorist attacks in the U.S.
  • Obama praises “moderate” Muslim cleric Sheikh Abdallah Bin Bayyah who backed a fatwa on U.S. soldiers. (Hat tip: Jihad Watch.)
  • From French fries to fatwa: the deadly path to jihad of Numan Haider.”
  • Actual ABC headline: “How #ISIS Is Complicating Al Franken’s Reelection Bid.” (Hat tip: Creeping Sharia.)
  • This Week in Jihad for March 18, 2011

    Friday, March 18th, 2011

    Been one of those weeks, so this is a little shorter and later than usual:

  • Army reprimands 9 scapegoats for its own political correctness in Nidal Hasan’s Ft. Hood shooting.
  • U.S. resident Pakistani charged with illegally smuggling nuclear material to Pakistan. Lovely.
  • Stratfor on Saaudi Arabia’s intervention in Bahrain.
  • The UN approves imposition of a no fly zone over Libya, and Gadhafi announces a ceasefire.
  • “Less than an hour after the cease-fire was declared, there were reports that it was already being violated.”
  • Richard Cohen says the Bosnian no-fly zone was a sham to assuage the west’s guilt over genocide and asks: “Should President Barack Obama lead a coordinated, Arab League-backed Western military intervention in Libya to stop Qaddafi?”.
  • Over a dozen states are now on the anti-Sharia bandwagon.
  • Jihadists hiding bombs in books.
  • “Al-Qaeda has launched a women’s magazine that mixes beauty and fashion tips with advice on suicide bombings.”
  • Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Israelis seize Iranian ship loaded with weapons heading for Gaza.
  • Congressman King isn’t the one fomenting hysteria.
  • JihadWatch’s Robert Spencer on the King hearings.
  • Pam Geller thinks King blew it.
