CAIR worries about “backlash” after Minnesota mall jihad, governor calls for “religious tolerance”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 08:02 pm

A Muslim stabbed nine non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that seldom, if ever, materializes after Islamic jihad attacks. And Minnesota’s governor is calling for […]

Minnesota mall jihad stabber’s favorite book was…the Qur’an
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 07:45 pm

From Dahir A. Adan’s Facebook page: The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. One might almost get the crazy idea that this attack had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have our moral superiors to assure us otherwise. “Somali Father IDs Son As St. Cloud Mall Attacker,” CBS Minnesota, September 18, 2016: […]

Arabic note found with NYC bomb, witnesses saw Arab with suitcase just before blast
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 04:19 pm

It was jihad. If we had decent leaders, we wouldn’t have to read the tea leaves the way we do. “In another new wrinkle, a hand-written letter, a portion of which is in Arabic, was found inside a plastic bag that held the second device, sources said….The witnesses were dining at the Krush bar and […]

NY governor contradicts NY mayor, says Chelsea blast was terrorism, but says no evidence of international terrorism
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 01:28 pm

Cuomo may be implying that it was “right-wing extremism,” not jihad, but this really isn’t clear enough to go by. The only thing it establishes is that Cuomo is more realistic and honest than de Blasio. But this still doesn’t make it clear whether or not this was an act of jihad. If our leaders […]

Islamic State says Minnesota mall stabber was a “soldier of the Islamic State”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 12:28 pm

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them […]

Muslims celebrate NYC bomb: “The lions of the Caliphate roar in New York, we cause you pain inside your house”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 09:43 am

“The lions of the Caliphate” are responsible for this bombing? Do they know something that authorities aren’t telling us? Maybe. “ISIS Supporters Rush To Celebrate NYC Explosion,” by Gilad Shiloach, Vocativ, September 18, 2016: Supporters of the Islamic State rushed to celebrate Saturday night’s powerful explosion in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood that injured at least […]

Canada: Machete attack on cop in Calgary mall, shots fired in Grand Prairie mall
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 09:33 am

Nothing has been released about either of these attackers; thus they could turn out to be “right-wing extremists.” However, in light of the Islamic jihad attack at a Minnesota mall yesterday, and the jihadi threat against malls in the West, the possibility that these, too, were jihad attacks cannot be dismissed out of hand. “Suspect […]

New Jersey: Military race canceled after pipe bomb explodes and other bombs found
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 07:49 am

Here again, there is no direct evidence that this was Islamic jihad. But the resemblance of this attempted attack to the Boston Marathon jihad massacre, coming on the same day that a pressure cooker bomb, also reminiscent of the Boston Marathon jihad attack, was found in New York City, is striking. If all these bombs […]

NYC: Pressure cooker bomb resembling one used in Boston Marathon jihad massacre found 4 blocks from IED explosion
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 07:34 am

This doesn’t necessarily mean that jihadis planted the bomb. Maybe “right-wing extremists” have decided to copy jihadi methods. No information yet to go on. But the coincidence is striking. “Powerful Blast Injures at Least 29 in Manhattan; Second Device Found,” by Christopher Mele, Al Baker and Michael Barbaro, New York Times, September 17, 2016: A […]

NYC: IED explosion wounds 29, Muslims cheer on Twitter, de Blasio says “intentional,” but not “terrorism”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 07:19 am

The mayor’s statement is absolutely incoherent. It’s “intentional” but not “terrorism.” All right. So this means the bomb in Chelsea was not an accident, but was put there deliberately in order to kill and maim. That seems to be the very definition of terrorism, but the mayor, a good friend of Islamic supremacists such as […]

Minnesota: Muslim stabs 8 in mall, made references to Allah and asked potential victims if they were Muslim
By Robert Spencer on Sep 18, 2016 06:19 am

We have seen this before. In Mali, Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” took hostages, freeing those who could recite the Qur’an. In September 2013 at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall, Muslims murdered people who couldn’t answer questions about Islam. In June 2014, Muslims murdered people who could not pass an Islam quiz. In November 2014, Muslims murdered 28 […]
