Islamic State throws another gay man off a building, crowd stones him By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 10:38 pm Woe to you — from the gay community — if you dare to point out Sharia persecution of gays. When Pamela Geller and I ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco City Council issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks […] Read in browser »   “Jihadi John” became “more observant of his religion” By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 10:05 pm How did a “polite west London pupil become bloodthirsty Jihadi John”? He “became more observant of his religion and began wearing more traditional Islamic dress.” But since that cannot be admitted, British authorities will look high and low for some other explanation. “EXCLUSIVE: First picture of the face of the angelic schoolboy who turned into […] Read in browser » Paris jihadi asked hostage his origin; when he said “Jewish,” he killed him By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 09:45 pm “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” Qur’an 5:82 In practice that usually works out to Muslims being the most intense of the people in animosity toward the Jews. “Paris attacks: Coulibaly siege video transcript emerges,” BBC, February 26, 2015 (thanks to Pamela […] Read in browser » Islamic State murders 15 Christian hostages, beheads woman; 35 Christian villages now entirely uninhabited By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 05:48 pm “One source has said that a mass execution is being planned for Friday, February 27, in the mosque of Bab Alfaraj, a Sunni village in the area..” Will the Islamophobia never end? “ISIS kills 15 Christian hostages in Syria, beheads woman,” ANSAmed, February 26, 2015 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – ROME – The Islamic State […] Read in browser » US Muslim gave Islamic State jihadis US military uniforms, combat boots, tactical gear, firearms accessories, and thousands in cash By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 05:35 pm Nihad Rosic is “originally from Bosnia, and moved to the United States where he’s worked as a truck driver.” Oh dear, this in inconvenient for the mainstream analysts, who have been telling us for years that all (all!) the Muslims in Bosnia are America-loving Western-oriented moderates. What’s more, it appears that Nihad Rosic had…a job.

It said: Thank You @pamelageller and @jihadwatchRS, If you have any humanity, you might ponder over this! nyp.st/phBJuX via @newyorkpost The link went to a story about a murder in New Jersey.

Who else attended? What are those people doing now? Is the FBI in Minnesota on […] Read in browser » Brooklyn Borough President plans Muslim outreach after arrests of Muslims plotting to join Islamic State, kill Obama By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 11:16 am Like virtually all other authorities in the West, Eric Adams is assuming that if young Muslims from the West want to join the jihad, it’s our fault. He assumes that the U.S., or New York City, or the Borough of Brooklyn, or all of those and more, have not done all that they could have […] Read in browser » ‘They will kill us': Pakistani Christian family seeks asylum in Bangkok after escape By Robert Spencer on Feb 27, 2015 09:52 am This is just one family out of a great many in the same situation. This is a human rights catastrophe of immense proportions. But no “Islamophobia” is being committed, so the UN doesn’t consider it worthy of significant attention. “‘They will kill us': Pakistani Christian family seeks asylum in Bangkok after escape,” Express Tribune, February […] Read in browser »
