U of Michigan cancels “American Sniper” screening: “Made students feel unsafe”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 11:20 pm

A movie about an American soldier who fought against Islamic jihadists made students at the University of Michigan feel unsafe, and so the screening was canceled. Imagine if the people that Chris Kyle fought against showed up at the University of Michigan — would students feel unsafe then? Would they approach the jihadis and give […]

Salon scrapes the bottom of the barrel to find “Christian terrorists”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 11:04 pm

The mainstream media, especially organs like Salon that are even more Leftist than the others, are always avid to exonerate Islam and establish the claim that Christianity is just as likely to incite its adherents to violence as Islam is. No group has a monopoly on evil, and certainly Christians have in history committed terrible […]

France’s anti-terror police “fed up,” calling in sick in protest
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 07:04 pm

“The risk is that this will lead to a lack of vigilance, which means that when a real attack comes we are not reactive and therefore unable to stop it.” Yep. What could be an alternative to this constant vigilance? Perhaps addressing the roots of the problem and compelling mosques and Islamic schools in France […]

Egypt’s most prominent Islamic authority issues a fatwa against AFDI’s bus ads
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 06:14 pm

As Pamela Geller notes, think about all the things that Egypt’s most prominent Islamic authority is not issuing fatwas against: Islamic anti-semitism, the jihad imperative to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers under the hegemony of Islamic law, the institutionalized oppression of women in Islamic law, including even their Qur’an-sanctioned beating (4:34), the sexual slavery […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 01:46 pm

By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 09:37 am

But surely they mean an interior spiritual struggle, or getting the kids to school on time, right? After all, Hamas-linked CAIR said that’s what jihad is all about, and they wouldn’t lie to us, would they? Anyway, as Lookmann, who sent this to me, “This cannot be. How can a “House of God,” a “House […]

This World Pregnant With Threats
By Michael Devolin on Apr 08, 2015 08:47 am

“…try to answer the most urgent question, the question which torments all those who have happened to read our accounts: How much of the concentration camp world is dead and will not return, like slavery and the dueling code? How much is back or is coming back? What can each of us do so that […]

Afghan soldier shoots, wounds 3 US troops in insider attack
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2015 08:20 am

These “green-on-blue” murders keep happening because there is no reliable way to distinguish an Afghan Muslim who supports American troops from one who wants to murder them, and political correctness prevents authorities from making any attempt to do so anyway because it would suggest that Islam is not a religion of peace. So ever more […]
