Argentine President: Obama Administration tried to convince us to give Iran nuclear fuel By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 02:54 pm “Kirchner went on to say at the U.N. that when Samore was asked to provide the request in writing, all communications immediately ceased and Samore disappeared.” The Obama people knew that what they were doing was wrong, and would be hated by the American people. “Argentine President: Obama Administration Tried To Convince Us To Give […] Read in browser »   Video: Netanyahu blasts UN’s “deafening silence” on Iranian threats to wipe out Israel By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 02:46 pm John Kerry and Samantha Power did not bother to attend this historic speech. Shameful. “Netanyahu slams UN’s ‘deafening silence’ in face of Iranian threats to wipe out Israel,” Jerusalem Post, October 1, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, slamming the world […] Read in browser » NY Times: “Modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will….Modern man cries. He cries often.” By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 02:03 pm “The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will….The modern man cries. He cries often.” What will the modern man do when the Islamic State threat that he has ignored, denied, and dismissed as “Islamophobia” for so many years becomes undeniable reality staring him in the face?

Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old who was arrested for taking a clock that looked like a bomb to MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, has attained mega-celebrity status at breakneck speed: he has been showered with […] Read in browser » Russian airstrike in Syria targeted U.S.-backed Rebels, U.S. officials say By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 11:45 am Because the mainstream media hates Putin (not entirely without cause) and will do anything to prop up Barack Obama, it is presenting this as a manifestation of Russian perfidy. It may be that, but the fact is that these US-backed Syria rebels are al-Qaeda. Former Defense Intelligence Agency director Michael Flynn recently confirmed that the […] Read in browser » UK: 14-year-old Muslim told teacher, “You are on my beheading list” By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 10:59 am “It is clear that he had been radicalised by Isis propaganda accessed by him over the internet.” How clear is it, really? How long are Western authorities going to persist in this delusion without ever asking themselves why the moderate, peaceful Muslim that they assume prevails in their countries is completely unable to withstand the […] Read in browser » Audio: Robert Spencer on the Larry Elder Show: Ben Carson was right about Islam By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 10:45 am I appeared on the great Larry Elder’s show a few days ago, and Larry and I had an in-depth discussion of the media brouhaha over Ben Carson’s remarks on Sharia and a Muslim President. I explained why Carson was right on all points, and why his media interviewers, notably Jake Tapper, were acting more as […] Read in browser » William Kilpatrick: ‘Humility and Hubris’ By Ralph Sidway on Oct 01, 2015 10:28 am William Kilpatrick uses the Pope’s remarks during his recent American visit as an opportunity to discuss the need for “humility before the facts,” versus “uninformed pronouncements on everything from climate change to jihad.” “Humility and Hubris,” by William Kilpatrick, Crisis Magazine, September 29, 2015: Much has been written about the Pope’s humility, and he himself has […] Read in browser » Minnesota leads the U.S. in Muslims who have tried to join the Islamic State By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 09:57 am And in response, the leader of the Global Somali Diaspora in Minneapolis is playing the victimhood card. More below. “Minnesota leads the nation in would-be ISIL terrorists from U.S., report finds,” by Paul McEnroe and Allison Sherry, Star Tribune, September 29, 2015: Minnesota leads the nation in the number of people who have left or […] Read in browser » Cameron to “Barack”: “Every religion has its extremists, but…biggest problem…is the Islamist extremist violence” By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 09:24 am When you’re too politically correct even for a self-deluded and compromised dhimmi such as David Cameron, you’ve really gone round the bend. “Barack,” said Cameron chummily, “you are quite right, that every religion has its extremists, but we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that […] Read in browser » Seattle considers development of Sharia-compliant financing By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 08:27 am It is a dogma of the American public discourse that Sharia is entirely benign and completely compatible with American laws and mores. That is why the mainstream media tried to destroy Ben Carson over his remarks about Sharia and a Muslim President. But Carson’s surge in popularity testifies not, as the media would have it, […] Read in browser » Taliban jihadis screaming “Allahu akbar” vow to bring Sharia to captured city of Kunduz By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 08:05 am Sharia is already the highest law of the land in the constitution of the U.S.-backed Afghan regime, so it is unclear exactly what difference the Taliban are proposing to make. And that’s part of the problem: there is no significant difference in outlook between those we support and those we’re fighting in Afghanistan. “Taliban vow […] Read in browser » Oregon imam: Fight “against Americans” is “legitimate jihad” By Robert Spencer on Oct 01, 2015 07:45 am Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye is the imam of the largest mosque in Portland, Oregon. It is good that all this has come to light, but is anyone paying any attention to the other Muslims who heard Kariye preach week after week for years? How many other jihadis are in the Portland area? What is being […] Read in browser »
