By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 03:08 pm

“The attacks all seem to have been timed to coincide with the approach of Eid al-Fitr, the holiday that celebrates the end of the [Ramadan] fast.” The targets seem to have been Saudi security forces and Shi’ites: “In the only one of the three attacks that appeared to have caused many casualties, a suicide bomber […]

Islamic State beheads men for “mocking Islam,” “pledging allegiance to infidels”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 10:59 am

Breitbart has numerous photos that are extraordinarily gory and graphic. It must be remembered that the Islamic State jihadis know that these photos are horrifying and revolting. They do not, however, think they will damage their standing among the Muslims to whom they are trying to appeal; quite the contrary. This is because the Qur’an […]

Jihadists are “weaponizing political correctness” and tricking us, former Defense Dept official warns
By Christine Williams on Jul 04, 2016 10:53 am

Despite the devastation being wrought throughout the globe by Islamic jihadists, and the accelerated threat to the West since the emergence of the Islamic State, Western leaders continue to minimize this threat, believe jihadist propaganda, and adhere to political correctness. Jihadists were slaughtering long before the Islamic State appeared, but the Islamic State’s zeal for […]

By Christine Williams on Jul 04, 2016 10:44 am

The deputy commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salami, has stated there are 100,000 missiles ready to strike Israel. While leftist Western twits continue to demonize Israel and also diminish the threat of Islamic jihad, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is further inciting jihadists against Israel and against America, too. He stated: “The global […]

It’s time to ditch the entire “Countering Violent Extremism” strategy
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 10:41 am

Last week, Senator Ted Cruz’s hearings graphically revealed the true extent of the Obama administration’s politically correct denial and willful ignorance concerning the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat and the ongoing attempts to assert Sharia principles and practices over those of American law and culture. DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson in particular demonstrated a […]

An appeal from a Yazidi leader: “Please help our peaceful people”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 09:59 am

From Prince Naif: We are Yazidi, a religious minority living peacefully in northern Iraq. We have been subjected to 74 genocides since the time of the Ottoman rule in Iraq and continues to this day. The most recent genocide happened (August 3, 2014) when the elements of the Kurdistan Regional Government withdrew its forces from […]

Sweden: Muslim migrant mob sexually assaults children as young as 12 at festival
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 09:49 am

Shocker: the “Do Not Molest Me” bracelets that Swedish cops handed out to girls didn’t work. Oddly enough, the Muslim migrants kept on molesting the Infidels girls even while the police were present. The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves […]

Top aide to Khamenei: US will disintegrate within 25 years
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 09:34 am

“The US has reached a point today that it will witness fragmentation and disintegration 25 years later.” The way things are going courtesy of the political and media elites, this may be more of a prediction than a threat. “Top aide to Khamenei: US will disintegrate within 25 years,” Times of Israel, July 3, 2016: […]

Death toll in Islamic State jihad bombing in Baghdad now 213
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 08:39 am

How happy the Islamic State mujahedin must be, that they have pleased their bloodthirsty god as Ramadan draws to a close. “Kill them wherever you find them,” he commands (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, and 9:5), and they obeyed. An update on this story. “More than 200 dead in IS-claimed Baghdad blast: officials,” by Sabah Arar, […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Qur’an Test in Dhaka
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 07:26 am

The final exam is a killer. My latest in FrontPage: As Ramadan draws to a merciful close, we have in Bangladesh yet another Islamic jihad massacre, followed by the now drearily familiar attempts to obscure the Islamic character of the massacre, and to keep the public ignorant and complacent regarding the nature and magnitude of […]

Why We Fight
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 05:46 am

Another Independence Day is upon us. Each one presents to us a challenge: will we also fight for freedom and independence, or give them up? The struggle for freedom has not changed, and will never change. It is the eternal struggle over whether human beings will live free, or willingly submit to slavery. All over […]

Reading the Qur’an during Ramadan 30: Juz Amma
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 04:57 am

Sura 78, “The Announcement,” is similar, warning of that terrible Day of Sorting (v. 17), and containing Allah’s warning that those damned to hell will be made to drink a “boiling fluid and a fluid, dark, murky, intensely cold” (v. 25), while the righteous in the garden will enjoy “voluptuous women of equal age” (v.

Convicted Muslim rapist “did not understand what is acceptable in UK”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 03:41 am

It sounds preposterous. Surely he must have known that rape was unacceptable in the UK and everywhere, no? No. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2016 02:34 am

Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) “Attack near US consulate in Saudi city of Jeddah,” BBC, July 4, 2016: A suspected suicide bomber has died after detonating a […]
