By Robert Spencer on Dec 16, 2016 07:09 pm

One Obama administration official said: “We’re going to go through and vet all the leaders.” Nonsense. They can’t vet anything. They don’t know what to vet them for. They ignore and deny the jihad threat. They ignore and deny Iran’s manifest bellicosity and hostility. How are they going to turn around and vet people and […]

By Robert Spencer on Dec 16, 2016 04:22 pm

We have seen this before. Hamas-linked CAIR employee Randall Todd “Ismail” Royer was part of a group of Virginia Muslims who trained for jihad by playing paintball a few years ago.

By Robert Spencer on Dec 16, 2016 08:06 am

The girl’s sister shouldn’t blame the NYPD. She should look at her own family. Yasmin Seweid is clearly in danger. She made up her hate crime story to cover for being out late, and clearly she has every reason to be afraid of her father, who forced her to shave her head. The shaved head […]
