Omar Shahin was one of the notorious “flying imams” who tried to strongarm US Airways a […] Read in browser »   Islamic State chops off women’s hands for using cell phones By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 10:24 pm Will the Islamophobia never end? “Isis chops off women’s hands ‘for using mobile phones’ in northern Iraqi city of Mosul,” by Vasudevan Sridharan, International Business Times, February 14, 2015: The Islamic State (Isis) in Mosul, northern Iraq, has reportedly chopped the hands off three women for using mobile phones.

In Paris, they hit the Muhammad cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo and the Hyper Cacher synagogue: “blasphemers” and Jews, the worst enemies of the Muslims, as per the Qur’an. And earlier today in Copenhagen […] Read in browser » David Cameron on Denmark attack: “Free speech must always be protected” By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 02:58 pm This has to be the most ironic statement of the decade. In June 2013, the Cameron government banned me from entering the United Kingdom for saying: “[Islam] is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers…” In other words, the Cameron government banned me for telling the truth. Then there are […] Read in browser » Robert Spencer at PJM: Who Is to Blame for the Chapel Hill Murders? The Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes Industry? By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 02:03 pm Over at PJ Media, I explore what’s behind the growing hysteria to get the Chapel Hill murders of three Muslims labeled a “hate crime”: Muslims are under siege in the U.S. — don’t you know that? Roving bands of Islamophobes routinely harass and threaten innocent Muslims, and a well-heeled Islamophobia Network spends millions to demonize […] Read in browser » University of Texas-Arlington: Muslim student admits she made up story about being threatened at gunpoint By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 01:29 pm As I have said many times, Islamic supremacists actually want and need hate crimes against Muslims, and in the absence of any significant number of actual ones, they have to invent them. Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims have on many occasions in the past not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes,” including attacks on […] Read in browser » Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram launch first attack against Chad By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 01:12 pm Despite the Nigerian government’s repeated vows to crush the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, aka Boko Haram, they are more aggressive than ever. “Boko Haram launches first attack against Chad,” Associated Press, February 13, 2015: MOUNDOU, Chad — Suspected Boko Haram militants attacked a village on the shore of […] Read in browser » Denmark: 3 cops shot at blasphemy debate featuring Muhammad cartoonist, one person killed By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 11:23 am UPDATE: One person is dead. On this day in 1989, the Iranian regime first published its death fatwa on Salman Rushdie, and the West responded with robust defenses of the freedom of speech. Now Muslims are killing people in the West over Sharia blasphemy laws, and the Western authorities are rushing to censor themselves and […] Read in browser » “Palestinian” government wants role in probing “terrorist” Chapel Hill murders By Robert Spencer on Feb 14, 2015 10:38 am Damn the evidence, full speed ahead: Obama has declared the Chapel Hill murders a hate crime, and the Muslim advocacy groups in the U.S. are determined that they be treated as a hate crime, and now the “Palestinians” want in on investigating the “terrorist” act.
