By Christine Williams on Jun 14, 2016 07:54 pm

The deputy chairman of police and general security in Dubai recently gave Americans advice on who not to vote for. Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, warned that a Donald Trump victory would provoke a “clash of civilizations”, a term that has been referenced by Hillary Clinton. Clinton has been under the microscope for her stance on the war […]

FBI top dog “confused” about Orlando jihadi’s motive because he supported both Sunni and Shia jihad groups
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 06:24 pm

“The lie in the government goes like this: ‘Sunni and Shia hate each other and don’t work together.’ That is wrong on so many practical levels.” So said former FBI agent John Guandolo, and he was right: Shi’ite Iran funds Sunni Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as other Sunni jihad groups. As the old […]

Video: Furious Obama defends his refusal to name the enemy: “What exactly would using this language accomplish?”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 05:48 pm

“What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not […]

Wife of Orlando jihad mass murderer knew of his jihad plans
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 04:52 pm

But she didn’t go to the police. Why not? This is an inculcated attitude. Hamas-linked CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper recently claimed that “law enforcement authorities have repeatedly stated that they have tremendous cooperation from the Muslim community.” But Hamas-linked CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding, as it has more than once advised Muslims not to cooperate with […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Law Enforcement ‘Never Guessed’ Gay Club Would Be Targeted by Jihad
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 04:12 pm

The politically correct willful ignorance that dominates our response to the jihad threat has lethal consequences. My latest in PJ Media: While Omar Mateen was casing other gay clubs to determine where he wanted to commit jihad mass murder, law enforcement officials had no idea a jihadi might ever consider such targets. On Sunday, the […]

Omar Mateen was gay, was a regular at club where he committed jihad mass murder
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 03:56 pm

In the never-ending quest to exonerate Islam of responsibility for atrocities committed in its name and in accord with its teachings, the latest scenario is that Omar Mateen had homosexual desires and was deeply conflicted, finally lashing out violently against those who represented the tendencies he hated within himself. As the New York Daily News […]

France: Muslim stabs teenage girl as “sacrifice” during Ramadan
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 02:42 pm

“The man, 32, is said to have told police he had heard voices ordering him to ‘commit a sacrifice’ to coincide with Ramadan. He has been sent to a psychiatric hospital and the girl’s wounds are not life-threatening, according to a lawyer in Rennes, France.” Another outbreak of that peculiar mental illness. “BREAKING: Horror as […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Finally: A Realistic Plan for Fighting the Jihad and Protecting Americans
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 02:32 pm

Courtesy of Donald Trump. My latest in FrontPage: We’ve gotten so used to politically correct obfuscation about Islam being a religion of peace that preaches tolerance and non-violence that Donald Trump’s words in his address Monday were startling: “Many of the principles of radical Islam are incompatible with Western values and institutions. Remember this, radical […]

Ramadan in Texas: SWAT team shoots Muslim who took hostages at Amarillo Walmart
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 02:13 pm

“We do consider this a work-place violence situation at this point.” You know, like Fort Hood. Maybe this is a genuine workplace violence situation, but since a Somali Muslim is involved and we are so constantly lied to by authorities about jihad attacks, the possibility can’t be discounted that it is something more than that […]

Florida bishop blames Orlando jihad massacre on Catholic ‘contempt’ for homosexuality
By Christine Williams on Jun 14, 2016 10:40 am

Along comes Florida Bishop Robert Lynch to absolve the Islamic jihad ideology that threatens our public safety and endeavors to force terror and subjugation upon us. Lynch stated in a blogpost that Catholicism “targets” and “often breeds contempt for gays, lesbians and transgender people.” The seed of contempt, he said, turns into hatred, “which can ultimately […]

Reading the Qur’an during Ramadan 10: Juz Wa Alamu
By Robert Spencer on Jun 14, 2016 04:54 am

Allah then speaks about the battle itself (8:41-44). After the Muslims’ victory, Allah directs the Muslims to give a fifth of the booty to Muhammad (8:41). An Islamic tradition amplifies this with an account of Muhammad’s generosity: after one battle, Muhammad prayed “facing a camel from the war booty,” and then, holding some of the […]
