UK’s Cameron insists Islam is a peaceful religion, but “strong, positive Muslim voices…are being drowned out”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 06:36 pm
“Although he emphasized that Islam was a peaceful religion, Cameron
warned it would be an ‘exercise in futility’ to pretend there was no
link between Islam and the radical ideas espoused by militants who call
themselves Muslims. Exploring that link will mean ‘uncomfortable’ but
necessary conversations, Cameron said.” Here’s an “uncomfortable”
conversation starter: will Cameron […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 06:07 pm
Nothing to be concerned about. He says he wanted it for “peaceful
purposes.” And besides, he has Asperger’s Syndrome. People with
Asperger’s often try to murder 1,400 people with ricin, now, don’t they,
you greasy Islamophobe? “Man ‘tried to buy enough ricin to kill 1,400
people’, court hears,” BBC, July 21, 2015 (thanks to The […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 04:36 pm
Good thing the jihad has nothing to do with Islam. Imagine how many
they’d be arresting if it did. “Counter-terrorism chief rejects British
passport deal for would-be extremists,” by Vikram Dodd, Guardian, July
21, 2015: Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism chief has dismissed the
suggestion that those wanting to join Islamic State should be allowed to

UK Counter-terror chief rejects proposal to allow jihadis to go to Islamic State if they surrender their British passports
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 04:18 pm
“If you have a British citizen, why are you going to allow them to go
somewhere where you think they are going to take part in murder and all
sorts of awful acts? What about then coming back more trained, more
angry, to this country? I think that’s completely unacceptable.” So says
Mark Rowley, Scotland […]

Pentagon orders Marine recruiters not to wear uniforms in wake of Chattanooga jihad massacre
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 01:51 pm
Surrender. Instead of telling Marine recruiters to be ready to defend
themselves, and instead of allowing military personnel to be armed on
military bases, we now have Marine recruiters skulking about in civilian
clothes, in fear of attracting the attention of the next mentally ill
drug-addicted alcoholic who just happens to be a Muslim who […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 01:13 pm

Isil, say church leaders,” Telegraph, July 18, 2015 (thanks to
Lookmann): Church leaders have accused David Cameron of “turning his
back” on Christians facing genocide in Syria and Iraq by failing to
offer […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 11:45 am

Muslim charged over alleged jihad terror plot to attack US military in the UK and join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 10:27 am
Every day now there is another jihad plot, and more Muslims trying to
join the Islamic State. It sure seems easy for Muslims who — we are told
— hear nothing but “Peace, peace” in their local mosques to be
“radicalized on the Internet.” “Man charged over alleged terror plot to
attack US military in […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2015 08:34 am
An imam? What? How did someone who has dedicated his life to
understanding the Qur’an properly miss all its peaceful teachings — the
ones that are so blazingly obvious to non-Muslims like John Kerry and
David Cameron? “US authorities allege Oregon imam assisted radicals,” by
Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press, July 20, 2015 (thanks to […]

July 21, 2015: DUBAI (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry
