Image: Jihad Watch During a Dearborn City Council meeting on Tuesday, Mayor Abdullah Hammoud—who is Muslim—again drew attention for refusing to offer an apology to local Christian minister Ted Barham after previously telling him, “You are not welcome here.” The incident has resurfaced amid growing tensions over noise complaints related to a mosque’s call to prayer. In recent months, several Dearborn residents have reported being disturbed by daily loudspeaker broadcasts of th

The school had discovered that a student had shared a video game considered highly problematic within a WhatsApp group used by pupils. The situation quickly escalated into a legal matter, leading to the arrest of a 16-year-old student of Egyptian origin, who was subsequently brought before a juvenile court

Eyewitnesses recalled scenes of chaos as Suhail appeared to chase two other taxi drivers

Image: Jihad Watch The question itself exposes a disturbing irony. How can someone who openly embraces and advances jihadist ideology be accused of hating the very doctrine she claims to uphold? Recent investigations by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and the Jammu & Kashmir Police have uncovered what officials describe as the “Jaish code of white-collar terror” — a sophisticated, educated façade masking a deeply radicalised mission. At the centre of this network

For nearly two months, the sacred grounds have been sealed off as a crime scene, following a violent mob attack on September 5 that claimed the life of a devoted follower and left dozens injured in the Rajbari district. What was once a center of spiritual gatherings, echoing with chants and prayers, now stands eerily empty, a stark testament to the tragedy that unfolded

Such warnings frequently come directly from jihadists themselves, as well as from states that support or enable them. Yet, in the West, there remains a persistent reluctance to confront this reality. Many prefer to bury their heads in the sand, often dismissing or ignoring these warnings under the guise of combating so-called “Islamophobia.”

Yet, instead of introspection or accountability, the Pakistani leadership has once again chosen the famili

Image: Jihad Watch While global attention often fixates on conflicts in Gaza, the true genocide unfolding today is taking place far from the headlines—in Sudan. Two decades ago, the Darfur region became the stage for a horrifying campaign of ethnic violence. Arab militias, known as the Janjaweed, swept through the region, killing black African farmers indiscriminately, torching their homes, seizing livestock, and destroying crops that sustained entire communities. What was on

But barely had he regained his freedom when he unleashed another wave of violence—smashing a bottle over a woman’s head, dragging her by her hair, and subjecting her to a brutal sexual assault. Eight years after that, Azim was once again out on the streets, this time facing the court for the murder of 19-year-old Lilly
