Pat Buchanan stands up for Obama against that mean Netanyahu
By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 08:49 pm

Pat Buchanan has for years been such a virulent opponent of Israel that he has frequently been accused of anti-Semitism, and this column condemning Benjamin Netanyahu for supposedly interfering in America’s internal affairs by opposing the Iran deal is not going to erase that impression. The paleocon Right hates Israel with such abiding passion that […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 08:18 pm

Crazy Joe was clearly going off script. Ash Carter articulated the Administration’s prevailing fantasy when he said that “officials may never know ‘what combination of disturbed mind, violent extremism and hateful ideology’ was behind the shooting.” “Biden Calls Chattanooga Shooter a ‘Perverted Jihadist,'” by Erik Schelzig, Associated Press, August 15, 2015: Vice President Joe Biden […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 07:50 pm

In shattered, staggering, subjugated dhimmi Britain today, nothing can happen that might possibly offend Muslims, and so this play had to go — because, you see, all Muslims abhor and reject the hijacking of their religion by jihad groups, but some nonetheless take immense umbrage at anyone scrutinizing or opposing those “hijackers.” “She and writer […]

Islamic State caliph held American hostage as sex slave
By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 01:51 pm

“The article went on to cite accounts that the prophet Muhammad ‘took four slave-girls as concubines,’ a purported religious basis for the practice.” Indeed it is, since Muhammad is for Muslims the supreme model for emulation (cf. Qur’an 33:21). The Qur’an also sanctions the practice, although unsurprisingly, the Post doesn’t mention that. It says that […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 12:29 pm

“Witnesses at the time said machine guns and rockets were used – and when the army went to Mr Assir’s compound, it found heavy weapons and military-style uniforms.” But you know, they were machine guns, rockets and heavy weapons of peace.

By Robert Spencer on Aug 15, 2015 09:03 am

“Bill 59 assigns new powers to the Quebec Human Rights Commission (QHRC) to combat hate speech, as well as a variety of other provisions meant to protect against extremism, by censoring speech that promotes ‘fear of the other.’ Ominously, the bill would allow the QHRC to pursue websites that in its estimation describe and denounce […]
