Media Matters fabricates quote from Robert Spencer, claims he runs “white nationalist think tank”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 18, 2016 01:31 am

Did you know I was a “white nationalist think tank leader”? Neither did I. I didn’t know I was a white nationalist, and didn’t know I ran a think tank. Just think of all the meetings I’ve missed. And apparently I said that Steve Bannon’s Breitbart News site has “elective affinities” for my ideas. Have […]

Hamas-linked CAIR to Trump: Government study of “radical Islam” is unconstitutional
By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 10:23 pm

In light of the escalating jihad in the U.S. and around the world, Hamas-linked CAIR’s claim that studying the motivating ideology behind that jihad is unconstitutional demonstrates the truth yet again of what I have often pointed out: that CAIR opposes any and every counter-terror measure ever proposed or implemented, in an obvious attempt to […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 09:47 pm

Lesbian CNN political commentator defends Sharia
By Christine Williams on Aug 17, 2016 03:14 pm

The Western Journalism report’s title says it all: “Here’s A Contender For ‘Dumbest Tweet Of The Year’ When A CNN Lib Says THIS About Sharia Law“. The title referenced a tweet by CNN’s Sally Kohn that defended Sharia law. One wonders whether Kohn realizes what will happen to her in an Islamic state that enforces Sharia, […]

“Abuse of Muslims is now mainstream”? Really?
By Christine Williams on Aug 17, 2016 03:03 pm

Yaqoob’s article, “Abuse of Muslims is now mainstream. I never thought my children would see this,” is a perfect exhibit of the victimology subterfuge that underscores “Islamophobia” propaganda. Yaqoob presents an argument drawing a comparison between blacks and Muslims, which seems convincing on the surface. Indeed, blacks were shamefully taken as slaves historically and are […]

CNN turns to hard-Left hate group Southern Poverty Law Center to define Sharia
By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 02:34 pm

Why the hard-Left hate group Southern Poverty Law Center, which is not an Islamic group (although it certainly enables the jihad by smearing and defaming foes of jihad terror) rather than, say, a book of Islamic law? Could it be because the most comprehensive manual of Islamic law in English, Reliance of the Traveller, which […]

Germany: Muslim arrested for Islamic State plot to explode nail-filled bomb at town festival
By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 02:04 pm

Germany’s slow suicide continues. Every time one of these jihad plots is successful, Angela Merkel should stand up and take a bow. “German police seize explosives, detain suspected Islamist for plotting attack on festival – reports,” RT, August 17, 2016 (thanks to David): A man has been reportedly detained by German police over plans to […]

Oklahoma: Judge rules Muslim who beheaded coworker not competent to enter guilty plea
By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 12:24 pm

This is yet another instance in which authorities ascribe Islamic jihad activity to mental illness. And this case is particularly egregious: authorities in Oklahoma are taking the fanatical attachment to Islam of Jah’Keem Yisrael (formerly Alton Nolen) as an indication that he is insane. Texas neuropsychologist Antoinette McGarrahan told the judge: “He has lost touch […]

Kashmir: Muslims tell Hindus to “leave or face death”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 17, 2016 11:52 am

Note the projection, paranoia, and reflexive Islamic anti-Semitism: “No space for Kashmiri Pandits who want another Israel in Kashmir to kill Kashmiri Muslims.” “Terror group Lashkar-e-Islam threatens Kashmiri pandits asking them to leave or get killed,” DNA India, August 7, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The black and white poster, allegedly put up […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Just Who is in the “Perpetual Crosshairs of Bigotry”?
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Aug 17, 2016 11:27 am

After the killing of an imam and his assistant in Queens last week, the media were full of stories about Muslims, in Queens, in New York City, all over the country, apparently terrified that yet another “hate crime” had been directed at them. The headlines all went like this: “Dread increases for Muslims.” “Fear among […]

Twin Falls pol repents, personally apologizes to family of girl raped by Muslim migrants
By Ralph Sidway on Aug 17, 2016 11:15 am

A surprising and welcomed update on this story. In our less-than-perfect world, this is the minimum of what American elected officials should do when they have been proven wrong by the facts. Kudos to Twin Falls Idaho City Councilman and former mayor Greg Lanting for having the decency to not double down like the Washington D.C. ruling elite […]
