By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2016 11:53 pm

A random stabbing of a stranger by a Muslim woman wearing a hijab. What could have caused such a thing?

By Robert Spencer on Jan 16, 2016 06:46 pm

Hossein Salami, deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, declared that the “American sailors started crying after arrest, but the kindness of our Guard made them feel calm.” As the Iranians continue to boast and thump their chests about this incident, the Obama Administration’s attempts to wave it away ring increasingly hollow.

Pakistan: Bill banning child marriage fails after it’s deemed un-Islamic
