The FBI shows a remarkable lack of curiosity about that. Of course, Bureau policy is to ignore the ideology, motives and goals of the jihadis. Muslims are […]

FBI alerted Garland Police about jihad attacker 3 hours before shooting
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2015 08:11 pm

“At the time, the FBI had no reason to believe that Simpson intended to attack the event” — other than what he believed and with whom he was associating.

By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2015 06:36 pm

The mosque even posted his $100,000 bond when he was arrested, although now they’re lying about that, too.

By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2015 04:58 pm

Won’t it be great when we have laws like this in the United States? And make no mistake: this avalanche of condemnation for Pamela Geller for co-hosting a Muhammad cartoon show is paving the way, because the only things wrong with a Muhammad cartoon show is that it violates Sharia and that Muslims will kill […]

FBI, Homeland Security have not bothered to contact Pamela Geller after Islamic State threatens to murder her
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2015 11:40 am

Apparently the Obama FBI and DHS not only are unwilling to discuss Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism; they’re also unwilling to protect those who do: Hannity: “This is a serious threat. Basically a Fatwa, a death threat, has now been issued. Your reaction to that? Have you had any contact with the FBI?” […]
