The question is clear: are Americans going to stand for the freedom of
speech and tell these offended Muslims that they’re just going to have

place cartoons of Muhammad off-limits, thereby submitting ourselves to
Sharia blasphemy laws? “Poster […]

By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 08:52 pm

By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 11:56 am
Over at PJM I discuss the strange spectacle of many members of PEN,
which was founded to defend the freedom of speech, lining up in favor of
Sharia censorship and submitting to violent intimidation: With every
passing day I feel more like Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski: I feel
like opening my office window […]

Islamic State opens 5-star resort in Iraq
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 11:11 am

Camerota, Greta van Susteren and all the others who have been denouncing

Islamic State claims Texas jihad attack: “What’s coming will be even worse”
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 08:08 am
If only we hadn’t “provoked” them, right? Then they would all be
studying computer science and chemical engineering and preparing to
become the leaders of tomorrow.

cross.” Christianity offends them, people — better start converting to
Islam now. You wouldn’t want to “provoke” […]

Islamic State on Pamela Geller: “We will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter”
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 06:48 am
The media continues to excoriate Pamela Geller for daring to “provoke”
the poor jihadis, as if the two Muslim gunmen who showed up at our
AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest would have
become fiercely patriotic stockbrokers if only we hadn’t shown those
cartoons. It is therefore clear that if, God forbid, anything […]
