UK: Muslims arrested for conning elderly into funding jihadis’ trips to Syria
By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 08:06 pm
“The victims are told their bank account has been compromised and are
then tricked into transferring money. One elderly victim lost around
£150,000, police said.” And the money goes to the jihad. British
officials better conduct more “outreach” to Muslim communities, and ban
more counter-jihadis, to keep this sort of thing from happening.
“Terrorism officers […]

Russian Council of Muftis: Don’t refer to Islamic State as Islamic
By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 10:27 am
“Abbyasov said that the militants had taken elements of the Koran out
of context.” We hear this endlessly; yet when have you ever heard a
Muslim explain the proper context that renders the Qur’an’s violent
verses benign? The most they say in the West is that these verses apply
to long bygone days — a […]

Canada: 4 high schools pull out of cheerleading competition over jihad threat
By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 09:39 am
“And that has one mother suggesting the terrorists have won.” She is

leads inevitably to curtailing also of […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 07:59 am
The people at State who are responsible for this probably didn’t see
anything amiss. They probably believe much the same thing, even if they
wouldn’t state it in the same lurid terms: they likely think that if
Israel would just go away, peace would prevail in the Middle East.

Russia jails Muslim for fund-raising for the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 06:34 am
Is Russian-language media as choked as the English-language media with
articles assuring readers that Islam is, despite the avalanche of
appearances to the contrary, a religion of peace? If so, time for
another round. Meanwhile, this indicates yet again the global appeal of
the Islamic State, which Western officials and analysts wave away with
glib […]

Nigeria lesbian fleeing Sharia death sentence asks UK judge to save her life
By Robert Spencer on Mar 04, 2015 05:19 am
Given the fact that she is appealing to the tender mercies of
Appeasement Britannia, Aderonke Apata should be prepared to be sent back
to certain death in Nigeria so as to ensure that British authorities do
not appear “Islamophobic.” “Nigeria lesbian fleeing sharia court death
sentence asks UK judge to save her life,” Gay Star […]
