By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 09:38 pm

Why would Syrians be trying to enter illegally when Obama is breaking down every restraint in order to get them in legally? Only if they’re up to some nefarious purpose. “EXCLUSIVE — REPORT: 8 Syrians Caught at Texas Border in Laredo,” by Brandon Darby and Ildefonso Ortiz, Breitbart, November 18, 2015: Two federal agents operating […]

Toronto Muslim charged with carrying concealed meat cleaver into Parliament
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 09:26 pm

You know how this kind of thing can happen: how often have you rushed out of the house, late for where you need to be, and forget that you’re carrying your meat cleaver? But not to worry: it had nothing to do with terrorism. He’s mentally ill, you see. Authorities repeat that claim with increasing […]

Honduras arrests five Syrian Muslims headed to US with stolen passports
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 05:57 pm

“We are not saying they are terrorists. They are being investigated for using false passports. It could be they are fleeing war. That is being investigated.” If they were fleeing war, why sneak in, especially when the President is so anxious to bring them here legally? “Honduras arrests five Syrians headed to US with stolen […]

France: Islamic State supporters stab Jewish teacher in Marseilles
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 04:09 pm

Jews, designated by the Qur’an as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), are always high on the list for Islamic jihadis. Killing Jews is in Islam a meritorious act that can hasten the coming of the End Times: “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would […]

Islamic State says bomb in soda can brought down Russian airliner
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 02:49 pm

This shows that all the elaborate air security measures to which we are subjected at airports are useless; security forces are always one step behind the jihadis, who do not repeat themselves, but instead always devise new ways to murder. We’re still taking off our shoes while they have moved on to soda cans. And […]

Hamas-linked CAIR complains of post-Paris anti-Muslim “backlash”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 09:25 am

Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, and to deflect attention away from jihad terror and onto Muslims as putative victims. Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the […]

Muslim cleric in Belgium incited Paris jihad murderer to kill unbelievers
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 07:33 am

What? A Muslim cleric? Inconceivable! How could Tarik Chadlioui have so drastically misunderstood the peaceful religion that he has dedicated his life to understanding properly and teaching to others? John Kerry and Theresa May should get on this, cooperating on an effort to teach Tarik Chadlioui the true, peaceful Islam that they know so well. […]

France: Only 30 Muslims show up for rally against Paris jihad attacks
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 07:13 am

That’s thirty Muslims out of around five million Muslims in France. This is not the first time that attendance at a Muslim rally against terrorism has been decidedly underwhelming. In July 2015, a Muslim rally in Ireland against the Islamic State drew fifty people. In October 2014 in Houston, a rally against the Islamic State […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 05:15 am

His family, however, says that he was mentally ill and that they are “shocked” by the whole thing, and that police unfairly targeted the poor man.

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Governors’ Revolt Continues: No Syrian Refugees
By Robert Spencer on Nov 18, 2015 05:05 am

Over at PJ Media I discuss the growing defiance of Obama’s suicidal refugee policy: As of Monday evening, the governors of twenty-four states have declared that they are not going to allow any Syrian refugees to be settled in their states. Barack Obama, predictably enough, is livid. The governors have all cited, quite reasonably, the […]

Assyrians of Paris: ‘There are now many jihadists in France. We have the impression of being invaded…’
By Ralph Sidway on Nov 18, 2015 04:03 am

“The entire Assyrian community is hugely disappointed and angry with the French Government. Government inaction has resulted in the problems in Syria and Iraq coming to France. The French authorities have been entirely reactive, not proactive. They have not anticipated, but waited until the problems were on their doorstep… We made public protests last year. […]
