Islamic State executes “blasphemer”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 07:15 pm

The Islamic State is way ahead of the supposedly enlightened, progressive West. Over there they’re executing blasphemers, while in the West we just stigmatize as “racists,” “bigots” and “Islamophobes” all those who dare criticize jihad terror or Sharia, or their fons et origo, Muhammad and Islam. Why, despite the Left’s best efforts, we are unlikely […]

Mosques and massacres: Western leaders need to start paying attention
By Ralph Sidway on Jul 30, 2015 06:54 pm

“In many Muslim countries … the mosques are monitored by the police on Friday. There is a simple reason for this: many political decisions start from the mosque during the Friday khutba [sermon]. Historians of Islam know that many riots and revolutions were launched from the mosques and that jihad is often proclaimed during the khutba.” “Mosques and Massacres,” by […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Donald Trump: Poster Child of American Decline
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 06:10 pm

In PJ Media, I discuss yet another foe of the freedom of speech: It’s hard not to be in Donald Trump’s corner when his targets are the likes of John McCain and Lindsey Graham. McCain, after all, may justifiably be indignant over Trump’s stupid and clumsy savaging of him for having such poor taste as […]

Ireland: Muslim cleric who led anti-ISIS demo praises Hamas jihadis
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 05:46 pm

Recently I wrote (here) about a Muslim rally in Ireland against the Islamic State, that drew a grand total of fifty people. It was led by Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri, who said this about “radical teachings”: “We as Muslims, we must condemn them. We must not remain silent. The Mosques, the Islamic centres, the organisations, […]

UK: Muslim schools accused of “anti-Christian chanting”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 05:01 pm

“The Christian Institute has said Ofsted and the Department for Education are not taking proper action to deal with some Islamic schools accused of bullying Christian pupils.” What a surprise. All over the country, British authorities are cowering in fear, desperately afraid of being accused of “racism.” “Muslim schools accused of anti-Christian chanting in assemblies,” […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 03:14 pm

“He also said inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency will not have access to ‘sensitive and military documents.'” What could possibly go wrong? “Iran says will ban US experts from UN nuclear inspections,” Associated Press, July 30, 2015: TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran will not allow American or Canadian inspectors working for the U.N.

UK Muslim bought ricin to kill 1,400 people, faces light sentence: “no evidence that he was planning any sort of terrorist attack”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 10:36 am

He just wanted to get some ricin, you know, to have it around. Don’t you have some in the cookie jar? He just “wanted to know what the fuss was about.” Isn’t that completely plausible? Didn’t you buy some bubonic plague-carrying rats last year, just to see “what the fuss was about”? Let this poor […]

New York Muslim who tried to join Islamic State said its murders were justified because the victims were not Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2015 07:29 am

“In February of this year, Nagi said he supported ISIS for burning a captured Jordanian pilot to death, because the pilot was part of a military force that burns and kills Muslims by dropping bombs on them. The witness quoted Nagi as stating, ‘do to them what they do to you.'” That’s from the Qur’an: […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Why Muslim Rapists Prefer Blondes: A History
By Raymond Ibrahim on Jul 30, 2015 07:17 am

The Muslim penchant to target “white” women for sexual exploitation—an epidemic currently plaguing Europe, especially Britain and Scandinavia—is as old as Islam itself, and even traces back to Muhammad. Much literary evidence attests to this in the context of Islam’s early predations on Byzantium (for centuries, Christendom’s easternmost bulwark against the jihad).  According to Ahmad […]
