Northern Germany’s largest Carnival parade canceled over jihad threat
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 11:55 pm

Why do we see so much jihad terrorism? Because it works. Because in response to it, Infidels aren’t standing up to it, but instead are willingly curtailing what they are willing to say and do, and thereby inching ever closer to conforming fully to Sharia blasphemy laws. This cancellation is also ironic in light of […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 11:33 pm

“Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this […]

Westerners join Iraqi Christian militia to fight Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 11:10 pm

These individuals are doing what the governments of the post-Christian West have shown no interest in doing: protecting the Christians persecuted by the Islamic State. But since they self-identify as Christian, watch for them to be vilified and demonized by the mainstream media, and held up as the equivalent of the Islamic State: Christians committing […]

Sisi vows revenge for Islamic State’s murder of 21 Christians
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 09:37 pm

“Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.” Note that the Islamic State is here referring to Egyptian Christians — the indigenous people of Egypt — as “Crusaders.” Their ignorance of history is in service of their claim that Christians have no place in the Middle East. Their fanatical adherence to Islamic […]

France: Muslim teen sends video death threats to Jewish MP, Israeli consul
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 05:48 pm

“The young man’s lawyer said that the incident was merely that of a confused young man, rather than a serious threat.” Yes, go back to sleep. This was just a confused young man, and jihad attacks have nothing to do with Islam, and are just committed by mentally ill people who misunderstand their religion. Go […]

Denmark: Police raid Internet cafe, arrest two Muslims in jihad probe
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 05:29 pm

This article describes Omar El-Hussein only as a “22-year-old, Danish-born man.” His identity, however, comes from the newspapers, as “police have not yet released information on the identity or motives of the attacker.” He didn’t commit these murders because he is 22, or because he was born in Denmark. He committed them because he was […]

Sex-abuse allegations against Chicago Muslim leader “playing into hands of Islamophobes”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 05:05 pm

“Afeef said that when he started publicly discussing the allegations against Saleem on a popular Listserv, he was criticized by some who told him that he was ‘playing into the hands of Islamophobes.'” This is just as despicable as the Catholics who accused those who spoke about the priest sex abuse scandals of being anti-Catholic.

Danish jihadi murderer freed from prison 2 weeks ago after knife attack
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 04:03 pm

“We do not have concrete knowledge of him being a traveller to conflict zones.” So he is just a believer in a belief system that all Western authorities insist has nothing to do with attacks like this one, although the attackers themselves continually point to it as their motivation. “Pictured: Danish lone wolf ‘jihadi’ who […]

Danish PM on jihad murders: “This is not a war between Islam and the West”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 09:03 am

“We feel certain now that it was a politically motivated attack, and thereby it was a terrorist attack,” said Thorning-Schmidt. But actually, it was a religiously motivated attack. Islam is the only belief-system that mandates violence against those who commit the crime of drawing cartoons of Muhammad and those who commit the crime of being […]

Denmark: Muslim who fired on free speech event and synagogue is killed
By Robert Spencer on Feb 15, 2015 08:38 am

After he opened fire on police — a salient fact that AP for some reason leaves out of its story. In any case, these events in Copenhagen yesterday were a conscious imitation of the Paris attacks last month: an attack on “blasphemers” followed by an attack on Jews. In response, Danish and European authorities are […]
