Hugh Fitzgerald: “I’m a Muslim — Ask Me Anything,” Answers 7-10
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 02, 2017 09:16 pm

Recently I offered 38 questions to ask those carrying signs proclaiming, “I’m A Muslim — Ask Me Anything.” Here are answers to questions seven through ten. 7. Muslims often claim that Muhammad only attacked in self-defense. Among the clear exceptions to that claim was his attack on the inoffensive farmers of the Khaybar Oasis. They […]

Raymond Ibrahim: The Christian God ‘Loves’ Sex and Booze?
By Raymond Ibrahim on Feb 02, 2017 08:52 pm

In keeping with ongoing revelations of just how immoral some Muslims view Christianity—to one cleric, Christian church worship is worse than murder and bloodshed—here is another Muslim cleric who appeared on an Arabic language television program claiming that the Christian God “loves”—and thus demands that his followers love—immoral behavior. This is precisely why, argued the […]

Trump going wobbly? White House suggests Israeli “settlements” may “not be helpful” for peace
By Robert Spencer on Feb 02, 2017 07:48 pm

“At the same time, the White House clarified that President Donald Trump’s administration has not yet taken an official position on Israeli ‘settlement activity.'” The idea that the Trump administration is even contemplating the possibility that a “settlements freeze” could help bring peace between Israel and the “Palestinians” shows that some people high up in […]

Trump to recast Obama’s “Countering Violent Extremism” program to focus on the jihad threat
By Robert Spencer on Feb 02, 2017 12:06 pm

“The program, ‘Countering Violent Extremism,’ or CVE, would be changed to ‘Countering Islamic Extremism’ or ‘Countering Radical Islamic Extremism,’ the sources said, and would no longer target groups such as white supremacists who have also carried out bombings and shootings in the United States.” Indeed, but the white supremacist threat has been wildly exaggerated by […]

Nancy Pelosi: Trump’s immigration ban “has not made us more safe”
By Christine Williams on Feb 02, 2017 10:41 am

A Lebanese Muslim immigrant expended great effort to explain to Nancy Pelosi that Trump’s executive order temporarily banning Muslims from seven countries made sense because “there are countries that harbor radical Islamic groups, and [teach] teenagers to hate anyone who is not Muslim,” and that “all it takes for some to “come as a refugee […]

A former child bride has had her ears hacked off by her husband after he accused her of speaking to other men.

Muslim leader defends Trump immigration order after mosque burns down
By Christine Williams on Feb 02, 2017 10:23 am

The fierce opposition against Trump has led to him being scapegoated for any and every mishap that occurs in mosques or against Muslims. Yet Shaid Hashmi, president of the Victoria Islamic Center, is not eager to blame Trump nor declare victimhood, unlike many leftists and Islamic supremacists: Hashmi remains convinced the blaze wasn’t a hate […]

“Islamophobia”: Kuwait imposes visa ban on five Muslim-majority nations, including Pakistan
By Robert Spencer on Feb 02, 2017 10:13 am

“The Kuwaiti Government has asked would-be migrants from the five banned nations not to apply for visas, as Kuwait City is worried about the possible migration of radical Islamic terrorists.” But the U.S. is not allowed to have a similar concern. That would be racist! Islamophobic! Hateful! This action by the Kuwaiti government neatly reveals […]

Steve Bannon in 2010: “Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of submission.”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 02, 2017 09:48 am

The establishment propaganda media is in an uproar over this, but Bannon is, of course, correct. Confronted about this, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said: “The president’s number one goal has always been to focus on the safety of America, not the religion. He understands that it’s not a religion problem, it’s a radicalization […]

UC-Berkeley: Left-fascists riot, prevent Milo speech, Trump threatens federal funds
By Robert Spencer on Feb 02, 2017 08:50 am

What happened in Berkeley last night is the end point of what I have noted many times: that American colleges and universities are no longer centers of free inquiry and intellectual exploration. Instead, they are merely centers of hard-Left propaganda and indoctrination. In this, UC-Berkeley is foremost. President Trump wrote: “If U.C. Berkeley does not […]
