Germany rejecting “almost all” applications for asylum from Christian refugees
By Robert Spencer on Jan 21, 2017 01:53 pm

Just as in the U.S., where the Obama administration admitted thousands of Muslim refugees and only a handful of Christians, clearly the Merkel government is more interested in social engineering than in humanitarian relief. Merkel wants to “fundamentally transform” German society, and by bringing in a refugee group among whom are unknowable numbers of violent […]

Yemen: Niqab-wearing women chant “Death to America! Death to Israel! A curse upon the Jews! Victory to Islam!”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 21, 2017 01:02 pm

Austria: Muslim migrant arrested, had planned jihad massacre in Vienna
By Robert Spencer on Jan 21, 2017 12:07 pm

The fact that Islamic jihadis are entering Europe among Muslim migrants has still not been addressed by European authorities, who continue to stigmatize opponents of the Muslim migrant influx as “racists” and “neo-Nazis.” “Austria arrest ‘foils terror attack’ in Vienna,” BBC, January 20, 2017: Austria’s interior minister says the arrest of a man in the […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 21, 2017 10:29 am

On this, Hamas-linked CAIR and I actually agree: Mohamed Magid should be nowhere near the National Prayer Service. He is the former President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Federal prosecutors included ISNA on a list of unindicted co-conspirators in the Hamas-financing prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF). […]

By Christine Williams on Jan 21, 2017 08:56 am

The Obama administration long held the position that transferring highly dangerous Guantanamo prisoners abroad could represent an olive branch in so-called peace talks with the Taliban. Another option in Obama’s determination to close Guantanamo was to transfer its prisoners to America, another bad idea that was met with resistance and ultimately blocked by Congress.
