Hating ‘for the Sake of Allah’
FrontPage Magazine After launching a successful terror attack to free a fellow jihadi that left several slain policemen in its wake last month, the militant commander of Kashmir’s Hizb al-Mujahidin—“the Party of Jihadis”—justified the murders by saying, “We love and hate for the sake of Allah.” In this otherwise cryptic assertion lies the root of Islam’s conflict with … [Read more...]
YouTube: Keeping Americans in the Dark on Islam
