By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 04:30 pm

Once again the Boston Globe, instead of asking the questions it should ask and carrying out proper investigations, whitewashes and dissembles. Ismail Abdurrashid is associate imam at the Mosque for the Praising of Allah in Roxbury, which was long attended by Usaamah Rahim, one of the jihadis who plotted to murder Pamela Geller for our […]

UK officials praise Islamic school that banned “socialising with outsiders”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 03:21 pm

“The Islamic Institute of Education provides a good quality of education and meets its stated aims very well.” This is yet another indication of the painfully obvious fact that British authorities haven’t the faintest idea of what they are dealing with in the jihad threat, and have just as little idea of what to do […]

Iran decries as “empty threats” Kerry’s statement about “ability of the US for using military force”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 11:48 am

Zarif is right: they are “empty threats.” He knows it, and he knows Kerry knows it. They both know this is all just empty saber-rattling to cover up just how much of a fiasco this deal really is. “Iran hits out at Kerry’s ’empty threats,'” AFP, July 25, 2015 (thanks to Steve): Iran hit out […]

Catholic scholar: “Equality is foreign to Islam…under Islamic law, someone who is an ‘infidel’ could be put to death”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 10:47 am

The UAE has adopted a new law that forbids “all forms of discrimination based on religion, caste, creed, doctrine, race, colour or ethnic origin” — a move that shows, according to Fr.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 10:18 am

“”We feel that, as the emotion of the first days has now passed, our case is no longer of interest to our political leaders.” Yes, and Christian leaders in the West are far too concerned with pursuing a chimerical, deceptive and self-defeating “dialogue” with Muslim leaders to speak out about this persecution.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 08:49 am

1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in one city alone, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” And here we see police bosses telling officers not to […]

Obama admits that lifting of sanctions will increase Iran’s ability to finance jihad terrorists
By Robert Spencer on Jul 25, 2015 08:35 am

“Hezbollah for example, threatening to fire missiles at Israel, has no shortage of resources. We have seen that even in times of distress, Iran is able to allocate resources in what it sees as its strategic priority.” And he just enabled them to do even more of that, while insisting “there is also a military […]

Bishop Mark of Berlin: A Voice in the Wilderness
By Ralph Sidway on Jul 25, 2015 08:04 am

Orthodox Bishop Mark (Arndt) is that rare example of a Christian hierarch speaking the truth about Islam.
