By Robert Spencer on Jul 10, 2015 02:50 am

No one in his or her right mind would take a vacation to Tunisia now. Jihad could end up destroying Tunisia’s economy, while the same jihad force that struck in Tunisia has called numerous times for strikes in Western countries. The economic devastation all this wreaks worldwide is incalculable. “‘Highly likely’ terrorist attack risk spurs […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 09, 2015 08:00 pm

“Unfortunately they [the figures] do not show the real extent of the problem. So many crimes are unreported because the perpetrators are often the victim’s own family.” Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide.

London Mayor: Islamic State flag shouldn’t be banned because UK is free country
By Robert Spencer on Jul 09, 2015 04:22 pm

The UK is a free country. Sure. It’s a free country if you preach hatred, jihad, and Sharia. But if you dare to point out that Islam has a doctrine of violence against unbelievers, then no, it is not a free country at all. “The Isis flag should not be banned because Britain is a […]

In PJ Media today, I discuss one of the most ludicrous foreign policy recommendations ever to appear in Foreign Policy: For absurd foreign policy prescriptions, it’s hard to beat the Obama State Department.

Islamic State blows up another historic Christian church in Mosul
By Robert Spencer on Jul 09, 2015 06:43 am

All the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” in which Christian leaders in the West so doggedly and naively engage, while silencing those who call attention to this kind of destruction and why it is happening, hasn’t done a thing to end or even slow down the rampant Muslim persecution of Christians worldwide. “4 killed as ISIS destroys another […]

Tunisia: Police find weapons in 40 mosques
By Robert Spencer on Jul 09, 2015 06:30 am

Apparently mosque leaders didn’t think it incompatible with the teachings of their religion to store weapons in a mosque in not one, not two, not five, not ten, but forty mosques in Tunisia. If weapons had been found in forty churches, it would be international news. This, however, will pass by without notice from those […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 09, 2015 05:21 am

Or with words, or with anything, apparently. My latest in FrontPage: Speaking at the Pentagon on Monday, Barack Obama once again proclaimed that victory over the Islamic State was just around the corner. He said that the Islamic State’s “recent losses in both Syria and Iraq prove that ISIL can and will be defeated. The […]

By Raymond Ibrahim on Jul 09, 2015 05:09 am

Let believers not take for friends and allies infidels rather than believers: and whoever does this shall have no relationship left with Allah—unless you but guard yourselves against them, taking precautions – Koran 3:28 Days ago, after the Islamic State [IS] entered the Syrian city of Hassakè, prompting a mass exodus of Christians, a familiar, […]
