Hollywood director’s son converts to Islam, stars in al-Qaeda videos
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 09:19 pm

When Lucas Kinney converted to Islam and became Abu Basir al-Britani, it is likely that his parents didn’t raise the slightest objection, as they were almost certainly sure that Islam was a religion of peace and that to object to the conversion would have violated all multicultural pieties. While the Islamic State and al-Qaeda make […]

Trump boasts he would have prevented 9/11, but dodges Sharia question
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 07:05 pm

Trump’s boasts about heading off the 9/11 attacks ring hollow when one watches the video below, in which he refuses to say that he would insist that the President place adherence to the Constitution over adherence to Sharia. And after he denounced our free speech event in Garland, Texas, last May, it is not at […]

Indonesia: Muslims call for closure of churches in Sharia province
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 06:30 pm

Aceh is not “conservative,” as the opening sentence of this Reuters piece has it; it is Sharia-adherent. In the mainstream media, you’re both conservative if you oppose Sharia and conservative you implement it. Sharia forbids Christians to build new churches or repair old ones. So while Sharia-adherent Muslims demand the closure of churches in Indonesia, […]

Islamic State’s “Project Behead the Jews” video praises “Palestinian” jihad attacks
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 05:53 pm

“I recommend that you take the path of Jihad, which God tells you to follow, I bless this jihad against the Jews. Strike fear in their hearts, they are the enemies of God.” Not that this has anything to do with Islam and all that, but that statement is a reference to the Qur’an: “Strike […]

“Palestinian” jihadi opens fire on bus station, killing one Israeli soldier
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 04:00 pm

“In a bid to halt the fighting, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would meet the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the coming days.” He will doubtless press Israel to make more disastrous concessions to the genocidal jihadis. “Israel: Assailant opens fire on bus station, soldier killed,” by Tia Goldenberg, Associated Press, October […]

Guess Who’s Not Coming to Dinner with CAIR
By Andrew Harrod on Oct 18, 2015 03:49 pm

It is a Saturday night as I write this and I am unfortunately not where I intended originally to be, namely the Council on American-Muslim Relations’ (CAIR) Champions for Justice 21st Annual Fundraising Banquet. CAIR’s aversion to critical observation had foiled my plans to get up close and personal with this Hamas-derived radical group, demonstrating yet […]

“Palestinians” to submit claim at UN that Western Wall is Muslim holy site
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 03:24 pm

They call it the Buraq Plaza, for it is from the Temple Mount that Muhammad, mounted on a winged horse with a human head named Buraq, is — according to Muslim legend — supposed to have ascended to Paradise, met the prophets, and had an audience with Allah. It is upon this legend, which is […]

Netanyahu to BBC “journalist”: “Are we living on the same planet?”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 01:47 pm

“These people don’t want negotiations. They’re inciting for violence. Direct your questions to them.” He might also have asked the BBC “journalist” why her news service has become such an energetic propagandist for the “Palestinian” jihad. “Netanyahu Rebukes BBC Journalist: ‘Are We Living on the Same Planet?’ (VIDEO),” Algemeiner, October 16, 2015 (thanks to Inexion): […]

Switzerland: Four Muslims plotted jihad terror attack for Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Oct 18, 2015 08:18 am

Don’t these people know that Switzerland is neutral? You’d almost get the idea that they have no respect for established conventions and aren’t even open to dialogue. “Four Iraqis charged in alleged Swiss ISIS cell,” Swissinfo, October 16, 2015 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Swiss authorities have charged four Iraqi nationals with planning a terrorist attack […]
