London Mayor: Worried about Islamic jihad terror? Remember the Alhambra
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 05:52 pm

Johnson’s tortured reasoning here appears to be that, well, see, Muslims made a great civilization in Europe once, and so they may do it again, instead of simply mounting jihad terror attacks and promising imminent takeover. Very well. Maybe they will, but there doesn’t seem to be much genuine intellectual ferment among Muslims in the […]

Facebook swiftly removes anti- “Palestinian” material, keeps up incitement against Jews
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 05:34 pm

You’re not really surprised, are you? “When it comes to incitement, is Facebook biased against Israel?,” by Coral Braun, Jerusalem Post, January 5, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller): …Shurat HaDin, an Israeli based civil rights organization, set out in late December to test whether Facebook holds double standards when it comes to incitement. The NGO […]

UK Parliament will debate barring Trump from country
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 05:16 pm

Why not ban Trump? After all, I was banned from entering Britain for saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with Western society.” If I can get banned for that manifestly true observation, then […]

Cologne Mayor: Women should be more careful after Muslim mass rapes, promises “guidance” so they can “prepare”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 05:01 pm

In other words, buy a niqab. Buy a burqa. If you get attacked by a migrant, it’s your own fault: you should have been more careful. And so Cologne’s Mayor slips seamlessly into the Sharia mindset that it is entirely the woman’s responsibility to avoid tempting men, and entirely her fault if she is attacked. […]

North Carolina Muslim suspected of aiding Islamic State, Hamas and al-Qaeda busted for child porn
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 04:39 pm

Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with […]

UK: Convert to Islam set up stall on London street to drum up support for the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 04:14 pm

Yet another convert to Islam thinks his new religion is a call to commit treason, pledge allegiance to an entity that has declared war on his native land, and go to war against unbelievers. Authorities in the United Kingdom as well as everywhere else remain completely incurious about why conversion to the Religion of Peace […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Roman Catholic Archdiocese of L.A. Wants ‘Greater Solidarity with Islam’
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 04:04 pm

In PJ Media today I discuss more foolish wrongheadedness and disastrously suicidal naivete from today’s Catholic Church: The contemporary Catholic Church has wholeheartedly endorsed the ideas that Islam is a religion of peace and that Muslims are the first victims of jihad terrorism. This proposition is enforced as an iron dogma, the one non-negotiable point […]

Taliban at gates of Kabul as their jihad-martyrdom suicide bombers launch new wave of attacks in Afghan capital
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 03:54 pm

The U.S. war in Afghanistan is a massive war for nothing, a gilded monument of pointlessness, a testament to the damage that can be and is done by the willful ignorance in Washington regarding Islam, jihad and Sharia, a crying, hopeless waste. “Taliban are at the gates of Kabul as their suicide bombers launch latest […]

Islamic State murders female journalist, accusing her of being a spy
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 03:39 pm

“ISIS has been carrying out a ruthless murder campaign to silence anyone who might be speaking out against their rule…” In the West, we are much more civilized. Those who speak out against the accepted line are merely demonized, marginalized, and vilified as “racist, bigoted Islamophobes.” But not murdered. “‘Go ahead and cut off the […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Trump Keeps On Being Trump In First Campaign Ad, Media Outraged
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2016 09:04 am

In FrontPage today, I explain why Trump is so appealing to so many Americans — which is the same reason why the mainstream media hates him so passionately: Donald Trump has just released his first television ad, and the predictable Leftist firestorm has ensued. Instead of being embarrassed by his proposal for a moratorium on […]
