After Islamic jihadi attacks Ohio State students, campus hosts talk on “Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 07:23 pm

Georgetown’s Nathan Lean is a supreme example of how academia has become a radioactive desert of hard-Left indoctrination and opposition to the freedom of speech. If Ohio State is really worried about “Islamophobia,” they should be focusing on those who really “manufacture” it: not “the Right,” but the likes of Ohio State jihadi Abdul Artan; […]

Washington Post gives Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown platform to explain away his pro-slavery remarks
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 06:57 pm

President Trump recently called the establishment media “the enemy of the American people,” and the media, enemy of the American people that it is, is predictably outraged. But here is yet another example among tens of thousands of why it deserves the moniker: after Saudi-funded Muslim Georgetown professor Jonathan A. C. Brown defended Islamic slavery […]

Muslim Olympian who claimed she was detained because of Trump ban actually detained under Obama
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 06:01 pm

Yet another spurious claim of Muslim victimhood. But Ibtihaj Muhammad need not worry: the establishment propaganda media will continue eagerly to retail any and all claims of “anti-Muslim hate crimes,” and anything reflecting negatively upon President Trump, no matter how outlandish. “More mainstream media mess-ups: The Muslim Olympian ‘detained because of President Trump’s travel ban’ […]

UK: Headteacher gets death threats from Muslim parents over her “offensive clothes”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 02:51 pm

Dressing immodestly: offensive to Allah. Threatening to murder those who dress immodestly: pleasing to Allah. The UK has a very long way to go before it regains control of its state schools, and doesn’t appear to be doing much of anything to halt their Islamization, despite a great deal of fanfare about prosecuting the ringleaders […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 12:27 pm

Ripped jeans: forbidden according to Sharia’s modesty imperative.

Saudi Arabia deports 40,000 Pakistanis over jihad terror fears
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 09:05 am

Saudi Arabia is the world’s chief sponsor of jihad terrorism, but it doesn’t want it inside the Kingdom. Who knew that the House of Saud was full of racist, bigoted Islamophobes? “Saudi Arabia ‘deports 40,000 Pakistani workers over terror fears,’” by Bethan McKernan, Independent, February 14, 2017: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has expelled almost […]

Australia: Islamic State jihadi Khaled Sharrouf first to lose citizenship under anti-terror laws
By Robert Spencer on Feb 19, 2017 08:51 am

There. Was that so hard? The idea that these enemy combatants should be welcomed back after they have joined up with an entity that has repeatedly declared that it is at war with the West is beyond absurd, but it is the prevailing view in Europe and North America. “Islamic State fighter Khaled Sharrouf becomes […]

Canada: Bomb-making materials found at Muslim teen’s home
By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2017 08:07 pm

“Investigators also seized a document called ‘Put Your Trust in Allah.’ The document referred to the seven gifts someone would receive in the afterlife as a martyr for jihad.” One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have so many learned analysts telling us it wasn’t […]

Said prosecutor Andrew McCarthy: The Blind Sheikh is a doctor of Islamic jurisprudence graduated from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the seat of Sunni Islamic learning for over a millennium.

Islamic State jihadi says mass rapes of non-Muslim women were “normal”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2017 02:29 pm

In Islamic law, it is normal: the seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful to you your wives to whom […]

Merkel: Europe must take in more Muslim migrants, Islam “is not the cause of terrorism”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2017 02:18 pm

Everyone is so confident that that is the case, except, of course, the terrorists themselves, who are just as confident that their inspiration and impetus comes entirely from Islam. No one in the West seems particularly troubled by this cognitive dissonance. “Angela Merkel says Europe must take MORE refugees and Islam ‘isn’t source of terror,'” […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 18, 2017 01:47 pm

Recently, parents in Summerville, South Carolina became aware that their sixth-grade children were being taught about Islam in school. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with learning something of value about Islam. It was what, and how, they were being taught that some found objectionable. Part of what the students were required to do was, unsurprisingly, […]

UK: Tory MP says views of some conservative Anglicans “differ little from ISIL”
By Christine Williams on Feb 18, 2017 10:59 am

Michael Fabricant states: Simply opting for more of the same for the sake of unity amongst a diverse Communion – some of whose views differ little from ISIL – is a choice of quantity over quality. If anyone has come across reports of conservative Anglicans blowing up an “infidel” infant in explosives training, beheading unbelievers, […]

By Christine Williams on Feb 18, 2017 10:50 am

The Economist reported in December that “a massacre of Coptic Christians” in Egypt is underway, and identified “disgruntled Islamists” who are out to revenge Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi’s crackdown of the Muslim Brotherhood.

By Robert Spencer on Feb 18, 2017 10:29 am

Not a danger? Let’s see. Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September 2016 murdered […]
