Jihad Watch is a website launched in October 2003 by "noted anti-Islam blogger"[1] Robert Spencer to fight against what it describes as 'proponents of jihad and dhimmitude'. For Spencer this includes Mulsims. In his own words: 'No major Muslim group has ever repudiated the doctrines of armed jihad.' The website has also backed the English Defence League.[2] It operates under the umbrella of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC). It was designed by Charles Johnson.[3]
