Australia to strip citizenship of Australian-born jihadis with immigrant parents By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 11:06 pm Common sense. This is a start in the right direction — one that no other Western country has had the courage to take. “Australia to strip citizenship of Australian-born jihadis with immigrant parents,” Associated Press, May 21, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth): Australian Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton, seen here in February 2015, says […] Read in browser »   Islamic State seizes Syria’s last border crossing with Iraq By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 10:46 pm Barack Obama and John Kerry want to keep you ignorant and complacent regarding the Islamic State’s gains. For them, it is all about maintaining the electoral advantage of their party — not that their rivals in the Stupid Party have the wit or the will or the patriotism to call the nation’s attention to what […] Read in browser » Islamic State approaches Israel By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 10:23 pm Prediction: if the Islamic State gets into a position to threaten Israel in any serious way, we will start seeing the mainstream media grow markedly sympathetic to it, with a spate of articles hailing the new “maturity” and “moderation” of the Islamic State. “ISIS Approaches Israel: Islamic State Loyalists Thwarted By Syrian Rebels Along Golan […] Read in browser » Islamic State mag hails Muhammad cartoon jihadis as “martyrs” By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 10:09 pm The Islamic State’s Dabiq magazine hails the Muslims who tried to commit jihad mass murder at our free speech event in Garland, Texas as “martyrs.” If only we hadn’t “provoked” them, they’d be enrolled in business school today! In reality, these jihadis in particular, and Islamic jihadists in general, are already “provoked.” Ibrahim Simpson wasn’t […] Read in browser » Obama: “I don’t think we’re losing” fight against the Islamic State By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 09:35 pm He won’t name the enemy. He won’t allow his intelligence services to study its ideology. His Pentagon releases falsified maps that obscure the enemy’s gains. The enemy captures a city that has been called the key to controlling all of Iraq (Ramadi) and an renowned archaeological treasure (Palmyra in Syria) in a single week, and […] Read in browser » Tunis museum jihad murder suspect arrived in Italy on migrant boat By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 09:18 pm Refugee jihad. Another manifestation of Europe’s slow suicide. “Tunis Museum Suspect Seen Arriving In Sicily,” Sky News, May 21, 2015: Photographs have emerged showing a Moroccan man accused of involvement in the attack on Tunisia’s Bardo Museum arriving in Sicily on a boat carrying hundreds of illegal migrants. The images were captured on 17 February […] Read in browser » Cruz: “ISIS is executing homosexuals. You want to talk about gay rights?” By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 08:45 pm Ted Cruz vs. the moral myopia of the Leftist mainstream media. Read in browser » Hillary got warning Benghazi attack was premeditated jihad terrorism, still blamed Muhammad video By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 06:43 pm This is proof: Hillary Clinton is an enemy of the freedom of speech. She is also an unscrupulous liar and destroyer of lives, as she said, “We’re going to have that filmmaker arrested,” and did so, even while fully knowing that his video had nothing to do with the Benghazi jihad attack. She has no […] Read in browser » White House denies that the Islamic State has established a caliphate, insists it has lost territory By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 06:04 pm   “We also see that ISIS leaders are very concerned about their own security. They are not moving particularly freely these days.” Does Barack Obama walk out of the front door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, stroll down the street to a local, bar, and walk in, sit down and have a beer? Alone and unaccompanied?

It has been a defining moment in so many ways. The battle-lines for the defense of freedom are being drawn, and many who had […] Read in browser » Where Our Frontier Lies Today By Michael Devolin on May 21, 2015 04:48 pm “When you think about the defense of England you no longer think of the chalk cliffs of Dover. You think of the Rhine. That is where our frontier lies today.” -Stanley Baldwin, July 30, 1934 Although Stanley Baldwin is remembered as being one of the “guilty men” for having attempted to appease Hitler prior to […] Read in browser » Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: The Jihadi Job Application By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 04:02 pm Over at FrontPage today I discuss why Marie Harf’s notorious claim that the jihadis just need jobs is wrong: they already have jobs. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf was widely ridiculed in February for saying of the Islamic State (ISIS): “We cannot win this war by killing them, we cannot kill our way out […] Read in browser » Cyrus McGoldrick, ex-official of Hamas-linked terror org CAIR, flies to Iran to curse U.S. By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 12:44 pm Born and raised in the U.S., the thuggish McGoldrick writes things like this: “Breaking – details not yet clear, but seems that resistance fighters have attacked Kabul’s military airport housing American imperial troops.” McGoldrick is a particularly thuggish Islamic supremacist who has threatened Muslims who talked to law enforcement: He has done this more than […] Read in browser » Germany: Court rules that satirist who criticizes Islam can be called a “hate preacher” By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 12:07 pm “Fact: You can do any joke you like about Nazis, the Pope, medicinal ideologies and religions, only Islam stops it.” And the Western intelligentsia stops criticism of Islam. “No Joke: German Satirist Who Sends Up Islam Can be Called A Hate Preacher, Court Rules,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart, May 21, 2015: A German court has ruled […] Read in browser » Jerusalem: Muslim rams car into Israeli police officers By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 11:29 am There has been a spate of such attacks in Jerusalem and elsewhere lately — and a billboard in Nazareth calling for them, but of course only AFDI billboards and advertisements are offensive. Last October the Islamic State issued this call to Muslims in the West: “If you are not able to find an IED [improvised […] Read in browser » Obama: Climate change “an immediate threat to our national security,” caused jihad in Nigeria and Syria By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 11:03 am Obama’s claims here are based on the proposition that poverty causes terrorism. Drought led to jihad in Nigeria, and drought, crop failures and high food prices led to jihad in Syria. But if poverty causes terrorism, one wonders why the world isn’t full of Haitian and Angolan terrorists. Also, poverty doesn’t cause terrorism. The Economist […] Read in browser » Why Pamela Geller is currently the Left’s chief villain By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 08:55 am The Left hates those who confront evil. “Why Pamela Geller is hated,” by Dennis Prager, May 19, 2015: Pamela Geller – the woman whose group, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, organized the Muhammad cartoon drawing contest in Garland, Texas – may be the most hated person in America right now. She is certainly the left’s […] Read in browser » AFDI Rolls Out New Free Speech Ad Campaign to Featuring Muhammad Cartoon By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 08:44 am NEW YORK, May 20, 2015: The human rights advocacy group the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) has announced a new ad campaign to defend the freedom of speech and stand up to violent intimidation. AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “Because the media and the cultural and political elites continue to self-enforce the […] Read in browser » Kenya: Muslim preacher charged with inciting Muslims to kill non-Muslims By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2015 04:30 am “He faces a serious charge of inciting Muslims to kill non-Muslims…” Incitement, you see, is telling someone to go kill someone else, or that someone else deserves death. Incitement is not doing something that is perfectly legal and acceptable in other contexts, but which one irrational and authoritarian group has threatened to kill over. “Muslim […] Read in browser »
