Federal judge blocks Trump immigration order for those detained at airports
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 09:11 pm

UPDATE: The report below from the pro-Sharia The Hill is misleading. The stay only says that the U.S. cannot deport people who are currently being detained at airports. — This will have to go to the Supreme Court. Those who are willing to sacrifice American lives to politically correct globalism will not get the last […]

Trump orders “a comprehensive strategy and plans for the defeat of ISIS”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 08:45 pm

What is refreshing about this Memorandum is that it doesn’t contain what it certainly would have contained in the previous administration: a clause or two about how the Islamic State (which is actually the name of the group, not the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is perverting the great, noble, peaceful religion of Islam.

Cancel your vacation plans: Iran bans US citizens, says US ban is “obvious insult to the Islamic world”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 01:33 pm

Oh, this one hurts. I already had my flight booked to Tehran for a three-week vacation. I guess I’ll just have to go to Mogadishu instead. Seriously, while Iran has a great history, as I explain in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran is so repressive and authoritarian, […]

Iran’s President, Berlin’s Mayor liken Trump’s Mexican border wall to Berlin Wall
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 12:41 pm

And this from Berlin Mayor Michael Müller: Müller’s statement has been widely circulated and greeted with joyful ululations among clueless Leftist millennials. Apparently there wasn’t time back in high school to take a break from teaching about how the U.S. was founded by white male slaveowners and has a history of oppression, racism and imperialism, […]

New York Times claims that “far-right media” is stoking “anxiety about Muslim refugees”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 11:10 am

Here’s some real news for the fake news purveyors over at the New York Times: the “far-right media” isn’t responsible for “anxiety about Muslim refugees.” Who is actually responsible? People such as Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry, who in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan […]

By Andrew Harrod on Jan 28, 2017 10:20 am

They have taught me compassion and peace,” stated Luther College Professor Todd Green during a January 22 presentation at McLean, Virginia’s Lewinsville Presbyterian Church (LPC).

Canada moving toward criminalizing “Islamophobia”
By Christine Williams on Jan 28, 2017 10:06 am

Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate crime without even defining Islamophobia or demonstrating that it is a phenomenon requiring legal action. A big question to bear in mind is why the “Islamophobia” motion was “unanimously” agreed upon in Parliament. What happened to the few Conservative members present? […]

Edinburgh, Scotland wants citizens to vote for a city free of “Islamophobia”
By Christine Williams on Jan 28, 2017 09:58 am

Police in Edinburgh and the City of Edinburgh Council are inviting people to vote for projects designed to create a city free from Islamophobia. Here we go again: forcing upon the Western public a bogus term that moves toward the criminalizing of speech critical of Islam, in keeping with Sharia blasphemy law. “Islamophobia” is a […]

By Christine Williams on Jan 28, 2017 09:49 am

In its efforts to block the bill and smear Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), the senator spearheading the designation effort, CAIR recently claimed that the bill “was written by a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a career out of bashing Muslims and Islam. Hamas-linked CAIR is accustomed to lying, smearing, and playing the […]

Honor killing in Trinidad: Teen Muslima murdered for being seen with non-Muslim man
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 09:39 am

Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, although it allows Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women. The idea is that the Muslim community is always expanding, while the non-Muslim community is always in decline. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to […]

Convicted al-Qaeda terrorist and George Washington U prof moves up from jihad and academia to coke and hookers
By Robert Spencer on Jan 28, 2017 09:14 am

He has been arrested for possession of cocaine and consorting with a prostitute. That’s bad, but look, it could be much worse: Morton could still be a jihad terrorist, or he could still be working as an academic. From jihad to academia to coke and hookers: yes, Jesse Morton is a career criminal, but each […]
