Islamic State calls for “blood of a merry Crusader citizen selling flowers to passersby”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 07, 2016 09:18 pm

“A florist has described his shock after being featured in an Islamic State propaganda magazine which calls on jihadis to ‘strike terror into the heart of disbelievers.'” That imperative comes from the Qur’an: “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the enemies […]

Yazidi victim of the Islamic State: “I was gang-raped, they call this practice sexual jihad”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 07, 2016 08:59 pm

The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and […]

By Christine Williams on Sep 07, 2016 05:24 pm

The question posed in the article title below: “Why Honor-Kill Your Sister AND Have Child Porn on Your Phone?” is valid only within realms of moral reasoning, which is not applicable in cases involving Islamic religious zealots, steeped in Islamic supremacist doctrines of Sharia.

By Christine Williams on Sep 07, 2016 02:37 pm

Female oppression and subjugation are integral elements of Islamic supremacism, exhibited by Saudi Arabia (among other Islamic states), which exports and funds Wahhabism globally. Saudi Arabia is now experiencing a kind of social media revolt by its women against its guardianship laws. Hurray for social media in allowing these women some dissenting expression; they are […]

Belgium: Knifeman attacks two officers in jihadi hotbed Molenbeek, police say no indication attack terror-related
By Robert Spencer on Sep 07, 2016 12:39 pm

“Officials in the Belgian capital said there was no immediate indication the attack was terror-related but the location of the incident will raise fears it was Islamist-inspired.” Yes, that and the fact that after virtually every jihad terror attack, authorities say it was not terror-related. If law enforcement and government officials didn’t have such a […]

Dear Rachel, In your program on the Orlando terror attack, you made the incredibly important point that Muslims don’t have a lock on bigotry. You […]

France: Muslim arrested after his car is found packed with explosive gas cylinders outside Notre Dame cathedral
By Robert Spencer on Sep 07, 2016 08:31 am

He was on a watchlist. Why even have a watchlist if no one is actually watching? When are we going to start hearing that this Muslim was mentally ill? When are French officials going to wake up to what is happening? Or do they know full well, and not care, because there will inevitably be […]

Saudi Arabia’s grand mufti says Iranians are “not Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 07, 2016 08:15 am

The question this leads to is this: is anyone at all a Muslim? Abdul Aziz Al Sheikh says the Iranians, and by implication Shi’ites in general, are not Muslims. Ayatollah Khamenei, meanwhile, says the Saudi rulers are “blasphemous” and “faithless.” The Islamic State and al-Qaeda and other jihad groups say that Muslim leaders who don’t […]
