Jihad Watch is a popular website and blog by American author Robert Spencer. [1]
According to Spencer, Jihad Watch aims to bring public notice to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and thus the site is focused on documenting the part that jihad and religion play in contemporary conflicts. [2] . Jihad Watch was launched in October 2003. In December 2005 Robert Spencer claimed that his site was getting in the range of half a million hits a day.[3]. Less than a year later the Jihad Watch site is getting an average of 30,000 unique visitors a day, with about 20 hits by each, accounting for those half a million hits, according to Spencer.[4]
Jihad Watch also contributes to The Intelligence Summit, which tracks current jihadist activity worldwide.[5]
Dhimmi Watch
Dhimmi Watch is a blog on the Jihad Watch site, also maintained by Spencer. Spencer has defined its purpose to bring public attention to the following:
- The plight of religious minorities in Muslim countries today;
- The plight of women under Sharia provisions in the denial of equal rights and dignity;
- Slavery in Islamic lands today
- The role of jihad and dhimmitude ideology in global terrorism today;
- Instances of academic and journalistic dhimmitude.
Quotations
- The West is facing a concerted effort by Islamic jihadists, the motives and goals of whom are largely ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world -- and to commit violence to that end even while their overall goal remains out of reach. That effort goes under the general rubric of "jihad".[1]
- The problem that we face with international Jihad terrorism is deeply rooted within Islam. Although there are many officials who are hastening to assure us that the problem with terrorism has nothing to do with Islam at all, the only people that they don’t seem to be able to convince of that are the Muslims themselves, particularly the terrorists who claim to be representing and acting upon the teachings of pure Islam and true Islam.[6]
- Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, "protected people," are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29).[1] -- Why Dhimmi Watch?
