“We are going to invite people to Islam… It may be a little sweetie-pie Islam, but it will be fine. It’s good enough.

By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2016 01:21 pm

Does Providence have a Christian-American Advisory Board? A Jewish-American Advisory Board? A Hindu-American Advisory Board? A Buddhist-American Advisory Board? Of course not.

Obama Justice Dept. sues NJ township for rejecting mosque
By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2016 12:50 pm

People have legitimate concerns about mosques going up in their neighborhood. Four separate studies since 1999 all found that 80% of U.S. mosques were teaching jihad, Islamic supremacism, and hatred and contempt for Jews and Christians. There are no countervailing studies that challenge these results. In 1998, Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, a Sufi leader, visited […]

New Zealand: Muslim cleric removed from Federation of Islamic Associations for anti-Semitic remarks
By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2016 09:37 am

“Dr Sahib was the secretary of one of the federation’s committees. He retains his role as the president of the Al-Taqwa mosque.” Why? Either the Muslims of New Zealand approve of his anti-Semitic remarks, or they don’t. This reaction is equivocal. Meanwhile, what will New Zealand authorities do when they discover that the Qur’an depicts […]

Iran’s Supremo warns of retaliation if U.S. breaches nuclear deal
By Robert Spencer on Nov 23, 2016 09:06 am
