Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The “Islamophobia” Scam Returns
By Robert Spencer on Mar 06, 2015 02:27 am

In FrontPage today, I swat a persistent fly: In recent weeks, the terror group calling itself the Islamic State (aka ISIS and ISIL) has beheaded journalists and social workers, burned a pilot alive, and forced hundreds of captive women into sex slavery – all while citing Islamic texts to justify their actions and appeal for new recruits. A Muslim in […]

Islamic State bulldozed ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 04:40 pm

There are men, and there are destroyers. These Muslims, acting on principles of Islam, are the enemies of life and creativity; they love only death and destruction. Besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to ruin the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: How The Western Intelligentsia Denies Islam’s History of War and Crime
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 01:11 pm

Over at PJ Media, I explore how voices on both “Left” and “Right” want you to stick your head in the sand and ignore centuries of imperialism and brutality. The Western intelligentsia is very, very anxious to make sure that you have a positive view of Islam. Thus we see a steady stream of articles […]

Muslim beheader invokes Quran 8:12 and 47:4 to justify beheading
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 01:02 pm

Not to worry. Doubtless Fr. Dwight Longenecker has already booked his flight to Petaling Jaya, so as to explain to Muhamad Wanndy Muhamad Jedi that he is misunderstanding Islam and taking the Qur’an out of context. “M’sian in beheading video still active on Facebook,” FMT News, March 5, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): PETALING […]

Canada: Parliament Hill gunman invoked jihad in video minutes before attack
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 12:48 pm

Let’s recall that the hard-Left Vox reacted to the revelation that Zehaf-Bibeau was a Muslim by dismissing the fact as irrelevant: “These reports imply that because Zehaf-Bibeau was Muslim, jihad is the likely motivation for his attack. But at this stage, without any actual evidence, it makes no more sense to come to that conclusion […]

DoJ hires imam who said Ayaan Hirsi Ali deserved death for leaving Islam
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 11:02 am

Does the Justice Department do absolutely no vetting? No background checks? Or do they knows about this over at the DoJ and just don’t care, because after all, to care about such things would be “Islamophobic”? “Imam Who Said Ayaan Hirsi Ali Deserved Death Penalty Was Hired By DOJ To Teach Muslim Classes To Federal […]

Main U.S.-backed Syrian rebel group disbanding, joining jihadists
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 10:01 am

“Charles Lister, an analyst with U.S, [sic] think tank Brookings, described in a tweet the implosion of the group as ‘absolutely remarkable.'” Brookings is a Qatar-funded institution that consistently downplays, denies, and obfuscates the reality of the global jihad threat. This development is only “remarkable” to anyone who was credulous enough to believe that these […]

Boston Marathon jihad trial: defense attorney admits “It was him”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 09:23 am

“Tsarnaev sat silently as his attorney Judy Clarke told the jury she wouldn’t even try to argue that her 21-year-old client wasn’t involved in the bombings. ‘It was him,’ Clarke said.” Will that stop the appalling “Free Jahar” protests? Probably not. “In Boston Marathon bombing courtroom, gruesome testimony and dread at what is to come,” […]

New York City public schools to have Muslim holidays off
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 08:55 am

Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, etc. should consider flying planes into a couple of New York skyscrapers; then they’ll get their holidays off, too. Because one thing is certain: if Islamic jihadists hadn’t perpetrated the 9/11 attacks, Muslims wouldn’t be getting their holidays onto the school calendar now. Ever since 9/11, Islamic supremacist advocacy groups have […]

Canada: Police arrest three Muslims over mall threat
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 08:33 am

The AFP story, of course, doesn’t identify those arrested in any way, but since it mentions both the al-Qaeda and the al-Shabaab threat to malls, it is fairly clear that those arrested were Islamic jihadists. In this enlightened age, the mainstream media doesn’t give the public information that it thinks the public wouldn’t be able […]

California Muslim charged with trying to join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 05, 2015 08:17 am

The stream of Muslims from the West to the Islamic State continues, with over 20,000 foreign jihadis waging jihad there now. Time for a new round of articles telling us that the Islamic State is un-Islamic, while never dealing with the Islamic teachings that actually lead young Muslims to join the group. That’ll fix this […]
