Canada: Jihad recruiter quoted Qur’an to get recruits By Robert Spencer on Feb 13, 2015 12:47 am “So this is how an alleged terrorist goes hunting for new recruits in Canada: take them for dinner, chat them up at the mosque and show off your new ‘safe house’ in Toronto, all while insisting the Qur’an justifies the murder of innocent women and children.” So says Canada’s QMI Agency, in an attempt to […] Read in browser » Saudi TV host under fire for tweeting thanks to Jews, Christians By Robert Spencer on Feb 13, 2015 12:12 am “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah.

The kidneys bit, however, is not in the Qur’an, and so no doubt it will be bandied about everywhere as evidence that the jihadis have nothing — nothing whatsoever! — to do with Islam. And what is this about blond people? Has Ibrahim Hooper gotten […] Read in browser » Wife of French jihadi calls on Muslims to “act guided by the Koran” By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 10:53 pm Cognitive dissonance: Hayat Boumeddiene and her ilk claim to be acting in accord with the Qur’an. Barack Obama, John Kerry, Joe Biden, David Cameron and essentially every other Western leader insists that what the Islamic State is doing has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam and the Qur’an. Is it “Islamophobic” to look into the Qur’an […] Read in browser » Jerusalem: Muslims attack kindergarten with fireworks By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 10:32 pm “Strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60) — even if they’re pre-pubescent. “Watch: Arabs Attack Jerusalem Kindergarten with Fireworks,” by Ari Yashar, Arutz Sheva, February 11, 2015: Terrorist attacks in Jerusalem have faded into the background in recent weeks after an intense spate of high-profile attacks late last year, but […] Read in browser » Nigeria: Female jihad suicide bomber murders 7 at crowded market By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 10:00 pm This very well could be one of the girls Boko Haram so famously abducted last year — one that was found wanting, or considered to be recalcitrant. “Female suicide bomber kills 7 at crowded Nigeria market,” by Aminu Abubakar, CNN, February 12, 2015 (thanks to Bill): Kano, Nigeria (CNN)A female suicide bomber attacked a crowded […] Read in browser » “Immolation of the Jordanian pilot is a clear demonstration of the barbarity of the Zionist entity” By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 09:15 pm The Qur’an demonizes the Jews, saying they’re the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82). The ultimate result is conspiracy paranoia of this kind: anything negative must be their work. “Syrian Commentator Hussam Shoei’b: Zionists Burned Jordanian Pilot, Just Like They Knead Passover Matzos with Blood,” MEMRI, February 6, 2015: Syrian commentator Hussam Shoei’b recently said […] Read in browser » UK: Muslim rape gangs could have abused 1,000,000 children; authorities kept silent for fear of being called “racist” By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 02:34 pm “Talking about her concerns of corruption within the police force she pointed out the IPCC started their investigation within a month they had suspended 14 police officers.” The police officers are just fall guys. They’re not responsible for the political culture that made authorities cower in fear of being smeared with charges of “racism” and […] Read in browser » Breitbart: “$10,000 Muhammad Art and Cartoon Contest to be Held at Site of ‘Stand With the Prophet’ Conference in Texas” By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 01:40 pm Eligibility: Anyone is eligible to submit entries for consideration by AFDI’s panel of judges.

Over at FrontPage: Obama’s timing couldn’t be worse. Just as a new report has demonstrated yet again that global warming is a hoax, he has backed it in a new interview as a “longer-term” problem than jihad terror. During a lengthy conversation published over […] Read in browser » Christians burned alive: The story of Sidhom Bishay By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 12, 2015 12:55 pm [Via RaymondIbrahim.com] As the world reacts with shock and horror at the recent immolation of a Jordanian pilot at the hands of the Islamic State, it is well to remember that this particular form of savagery has a long history in Islam and under the state. The image to right is of Sidhom Bishay, a Coptic […] Read in browser » Raymond Ibrahim: Islam Banned for Blasphemy? By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 12, 2015 12:52 pm Soon after Muslim gunmen killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo offices, which published satirical  caricatures of Muslim prophet Muhammad, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)—the “collective voice of the Muslim world” and second largest inter-governmental organization after the United Nations—is again renewing calls for the United Nations to criminalize “blasphemy” against Islam, or what it […] Read in browser » UK: Islington scraps pork from menus in all primary schools By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 11:14 am “A council spokesman said ensuring Muslim and Jewish children were not eating the meat represented an ‘unnecessary cost at a time of tight budgets.'” But make no mistake: this isn’t happening because of the Jewish students. Jews have lived in the UK for centuries and neither demanded nor received such accommodations. This is all about […] Read in browser » Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on the Houthi takeover in Yemen By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 09:01 am Yesterday, on Sun TV’s Straight Talk with Jerry Agar.

They seized the U.S. Embassy vehicles for “safe-keeping,” you see. This is the idiocy that befogs the mainstream and prevents Americans from seeing just how much the international situation is deteriorating. They […] Read in browser » Libya: 40 severed heads found at Islamic militia training camp in Benghazi By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 06:49 am “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) These people may have been beheaded for fighting against this militia, and hence in the militia’s eyes making themselves into heretics or apostates — unbelievers. “Libya; sources, 40 severed heads found in Bengasi,” ANSAmed, February 11, 2015: (ANSAmed) – IL CAIRO, 11 FEB – Forty […] Read in browser » UK: Someone arrested for something in Liverpool By Robert Spencer on Feb 12, 2015 06:01 am This story is almost certainly about the arrest of an Islamic jihadist, but there is absolutely nothing in it to give the reader any indication of what kind of terrorism is involved here. The British press, like its American counterpart, is indefatigably dedicated to obfuscating the nature and magnitude of the jihad terror threat, no […] Read in browser »
