Obama: “Many Muslim Americans across our country are worried and afraid” By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 05:18 pm Non-Muslims may be worried and afraid because of jihad terror, but that doesn’t bother the President: he is busy fostering the Islamic supremacist victimhood narrative so indefatigably furthered by groups like the Hamas-linked terror org CAIR. Comments interspersed below. “President Obama: Our fight against violent extremism,” by Barack Obama, Los Angeles Times, February 18, 2015: […] Read in browser »   UK: Muslim teacher fined for posting pro-Hitler image on FB aimed at Jews By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 04:36 pm They fined him? Why? How will that foster community cohesion? David Cameron and Theresa May should apologize to him for any inconvenience British officials may have caused him, and give him a fine promotion. Seriously, how many more teachers in Britain agree with Mahmudul Choudhury, and what is being done about them? Nothing whatsoever, of […] Read in browser » Copenhagen imam day before jihad murder at synagogue: Muhammad didn’t dialogue with Jews, he fought them By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 04:11 pm Will the purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth and the promoters of the ongoing spurious and self-defeating “dialogue” take Hajj Saeed to task? Will the Leftists who celebrated the defacing of our AFDI ads calling attention to Islamic antisemitism now acknowledge we had a point? Of course not — but this kind of things shows who […] Read in browser » Video: Walking in Paris while Jewish By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 03:50 pm While the world wrings its hands over “Islamophobia,” here is the reality. This is why Jews are leaving Europe. Video thanks to Mort.

This is of a piece with the Post’s ongoing denial of the jihad threat and endeavor to […] Read in browser » Mehdi Hasan blames Muslim attack on non-Muslims on “anti-Muslim hate speech” By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 11:43 am The story to which Mehdi Hasan is referring is this one: Michigan: Muslim asks people if they’re Muslim, stabs those who say no. So now when Muslims attack non-Muslims solely because they are non-Muslims, it’s the fault of “anti-Muslim hate speech.” Apparently this Muslim was driven into a homicidal rage by all the anti-Muslim hate […] Read in browser » White House touts Boston’s success in “countering violent extremism” By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 11:14 am Boston? Really? Boston is where Obama’s program of “countering violent extremism” has so singularly failed. This article shows that, and there is more. Not long after the Boston Marathon jihad massacre, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) confronted FBI director Robert Mueller: The FBI never canvassed Boston mosques until four days after the April 15th attacks. If […] Read in browser » Sudan President: CIA, Mossad behind Boko Haram, Islamic State By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 10:58 am “I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations. There is no Muslim who would carry out such acts.” But he doesn’t want anyone to fight against these jihad groups: “He warned that simply using violence against young radicals who fight with organisations like ISIL and al-Qaeda could lead to even more extremism.” In […] Read in browser » Holder: “Radical Islam, Islamic extremism – you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that” By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 10:42 am “Radical Islam, Islamic extremism – you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that. It doesn’t have an impact on our military posture, an impact on what we call it, on the policies we put in place.” And that’s why the Obama policies are failing. A refusal to define the enemy […] Read in browser » Muslim cleric rejects that Earth revolves around the Sun By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 10:19 am This Al Arabiya story doesn’t say so, but Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari is reflecting Qur’anic teaching. The Qur’an depicts Dhu’l-Qarneyn, a mysterious character whom most Muslims identify with Alexander the Great, as traveling until he reaches “the setting-place of the Sun,” where he sees it setting in a “muddy spring.” Then he travels to the “rising-place […] Read in browser » The Atlantic: “The Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic.” By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2015 05:36 am This is an extraordinary piece, as it represents one of the first, if not the first, mainstream media acknowledgment that what I have been saying all these years, and illustrated in detail in thirteen books, hundreds of articles, and tens of thousands of posts here, has been absolutely correct: that jihadis use the texts and […] Read in browser »
