The Islamic State has a truly global reach, because of the appeal of its claim to reconstitute the caliphate.

By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 11:57 am

Iranian opposition activist: “Obama is the son of a Shiite father… Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America.”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 09:11 am

This claim has been going around for years. One reason why it never dies is because Obama never does anything to disconfirm it. “Commentators on Arab TV: Obama Supports Iran Because His Father Was a Shiite,” MEMRI, n.d. (thanks to Steve): On March 25, during an interview on Hiwar TV, broadcasting from London, Syrian writer […]

Slain Charlie Hebdo editor: “Suggestion that you can laugh at everything, except certain aspects of Islam…is…discrimination”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 09:00 am

“It’s time to finish with this disgusting paternalism of the white, left-wing bourgeois intellectual seeking to prove himself among the ‘poor unfortunate undereducated.'” Indeed. I have often remarked upon the Left’s condescending paternalism toward Muslims, in holding them to lower standards of behavior than those to which non-Muslims are held.

UK: Posters tell Muslims not to vote, “Democracy is a system whereby man violates the right of Allah”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 07:53 am

“Islam is the only real workable solution for the UK.” And the only one they’re going to get, unless they cut out the denial, willful ignorance and appeasement. “‘Chilling’ posters in Cardiff warn Muslims not to vote in the general election because ‘it violates the right of Allah,'” Daily Mail, April 17, 2015 (thanks to […]

Ohio: Muslims cry “racism and bigotry” over cancellation of public school hijab promotion
By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 07:37 am

This Cincinnati Enquirer report about this controversy is not as bad as it could have been, given the mainstream media’s policy of obfuscating the reality of the global jihad. It is full of the usual nonsense: those who oppose the promotion of Islam in a public school are guilty of “racism” and “bigotry” — charges […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 07:16 am

How ignorant and self-deluded is Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the jihad threat? This ignorant and self-deluded.

They’re not about religion. They’re just about […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 18, 2015 06:39 am

The revised and updated version continues at PJ Media: Are you a non-Muslim? Then Allah hates you (Qur’an 3:32). Are you Jewish or Christian? In the Qur’an’s third chapter, Allah will tell you why you’re following a false religion. The Qur’an’s third chapter is entitled “The Family of Imran” — that is, Amram, the father […]
