No telling. But this indicates that it is certainly descending to the murky depths already. “CNN Reporter: Parisians Shaken Because This Time It Wasn’t Just Jews Targeted, ‘This Was Just People,’” by Jamie Weinstein, Daily Caller, November 24, 2015: A CNN reporter […] Read in browser »   Joyce Carol Oates: “Is there nothing celebratory & joyous” about ISIS?

Will Chris Hayes and MSNBC? Will Glenn Greenwald? No, none of them will, and no media outlet will call them out on it, either. If the mainstream media acknowledges this at all, it will claim that the “Islamophobia” to which Long was supposedly subjected ended up “radicalizing” him. “MSNBC’s ‘No-Fly List […] Read in browser » Pro-Islamic State messages painted on rock at Youngstown State University By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 10:01 pm Probably this will be dismissed as a prank: after all, everyone knows that all Muslims in the U.S. are “moderate,” and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise. “Pro-Islamic State messages painted on Youngstown State rock,” Associated Press, November 23, 2015 (thanks to Bulldog): YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) – Police are investigating messages extoling [sic] the Islamic […] Read in browser » U.S. grants reprieve to firm aiding Iran in evading U.S. sanctions By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 05:26 pm “Removing companies from the sanction list even before the implementation day sends a clear message that Iran is open for business even though Iran has not delivered its nuclear promises yet. It sends a strong signal that the regime of sanctions is dead and doing business with Iran has the blessing of the United States.” […] Read in browser » Clock boy Ahmed Mohamed demanding $15 million in damages By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 05:05 pm As the Washington Post noted at the height of the controversy over his “clock,” Ahmed was showered with support from “Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and Google co-founder Sergey Brin,” while “Tweets, think pieces and daytime TV segments were dedicated to dissecting how Ahmed’s situation typified racism and Islamaphobia [sic] in America,” […] Read in browser » Prince Charles blames “horrors” of jihad in Syria on a failure to tackle climate change By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 12:54 pm “There’s very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria, funnily enough, was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land.” If that was what led to the war in Syria, then […] Read in browser » Third Paris stadium jihad suicide bomber identified as “refugee” who came via Greece By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 12:37 pm The solution offered by the media and political elites: bring in more Muslim refugees.

The Boston MBTA is running yet another series of Jew-hating ads, one after another, while refusing no less than three ad pro-Israel, counter-jihad […] Read in browser » White men are biggest terrorist threat to U.S., not Muslims, says Senator Sherrod Brown By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 11:54 am Brown’s words recall a widely-heralded study that was published last summer, claiming that “right-wing extremism” was a bigger threat to the U.S. than jihad, based on the number of Americans killed by each since 9/11. Not only does this study skew the results by leaving out 9/11, but it also ignored the many, many foiled […] Read in browser » Six Muslim preachers from Britain arrested in Belgium, linked to Paris jihad mass murder mastermind By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 11:16 am The Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar and the Sultan of Sokoto, in assuring us that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, did not explain why Muslim clerics and preachers so often get involved in jihad terror plots and attacks. “Six BRITONS arrested in Belgium as UK hate preachers linked to Paris attacks mastermind,” by Selina […] Read in browser » Nigeria: Sultan of Sokoto says Islam is a religion of peace that abhors terrorism By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 10:01 am The idea that Islam is a religion of peace that abhors terrorism has to be constantly repeated, because it is contradicted daily by the behavior of Islamic jihadists, and their justification of their murders by pointing to the Qur’an and Sunnah. The Sultan of Sokoto did not explain how it happened that a group that […] Read in browser » Al Azhar Grand Imam: Dissociate Islam from “extremist attacks” By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2015 09:47 am Everyone in the Western media and government establishment has already imbibed the dogma that Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism; only the Islamic terrorists haven’t gotten the message. But al-Tayyeb isn’t talking to them: he is one in an apparently endless succession of Muslim authorities who call upon the West to stop linking […] Read in browser » Hugh Fitzgerald: Those Muslim “Refugees” By Hugh Fitzgerald on Nov 23, 2015 09:29 am The murders in Paris on November 13 did not halt the invasion of Europe by the forces of Islam.

That’s not who we are. We don’t have religious tests to our compassion,” loftily added the American president. Accordingly, the administration is still determined to accept 10,000 more Syrian refugees, almost all of whom will […] Read in browser »
