Robert Spencer video: Robert Spencer: Opposition to Trump immigration ban is based on false pretenses
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 07:14 pm

In this new video, I explain why opposition to President Trump’s immigration ban is based neither on fact nor on sound reasoning, but on a false imputation of motives. I taped this after the first ban was struck down, but since the same arguments are recurring now, this video remains relevant.

Reza Aslan eats human brains, but it’s unlikely to help
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 06:02 pm

It is said that one justification among cannibals for cannibalism is that the virtues and powers of the person being eaten will pass to the eater. And so it is oddly fitting that Reza Aslan would feature himself on his CNN show eating human brain tissue; he is, after all, a profoundly stupid man, whose […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 04:51 pm

The establishment propaganda media is desperate, and doing all it can to prevent people from knowing the truth about the national security aspects of the “refugee” issue. “CNN cuts feed right after guest cites refugee crime stats,” by Kyle Olson, American Mirror, March 6, 2017: There CNN goes again.

A call to “stop celebrating Muslim decency”
By Christine Williams on Mar 07, 2017 04:09 pm

Nobody deserves congratulations for basic decency. Condemning bomb threats and making donations to repair damage from bias crimes is something good people of all backgrounds do. The writer of the article below is simply trying to appeal to logic: it is subtly insulting to congratulate anyone for simply doing what is expected according to basic norms of decency. To […]

Opponents of M-103 led a March for Freedom at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, outside City Hall. CIJ News reported that the demonstration “achieved one of its goals to allow […]

By Christine Williams on Mar 07, 2017 01:27 pm

The new bill also allows authorities to detain all adult asylum seekers in its territory and summarily return those refused to the Serbian border as part of “crisis” measures in place until September. Right before Christmas, Hungary’s PM Victor Orban “praised the victories of the populist Five Star Movement in the Italian referendum and the […]

300 refugees are subjects of FBI jihad terror investigations involving the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 01:21 pm

Refugees Welcome, you greasy Islamophobe! What could possibly go wrong? Let’s see. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well […]

AFDI: Appeal filed challenging federal statute authorizing censorship by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 12:59 pm

As I explained here, since February 10 Facebook and Twitter have been choking off access to Jihad Watch such that total referrals from the two are down by about 20,000 every day, although our overall readership has gone up: Jihad Watch readers are not so easily deterred. Nonetheless, the Facebook/Twitter action against Jihad Watch is […]

Trump opens “all available” Gulf of Mexico waters to oil drilling
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 12:32 pm

“Opening more federal lands and waters to oil and gas drilling is a pillar of President Trump’s plan to make the United States energy independent,” said Zinke. And not only that: it will also cut off a great part of the funding for the global jihad, which goes from our gasoline money to oil-producing states, […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl And His Orwellian Experience (Part I)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Mar 07, 2017 12:18 pm

Wondering how the heightened scrutiny at our borders was affecting some of the most brilliant minds in Islamic studies, I naturally googled the name of Professor Khaled Abou El Fadl. I’ve been admiring him for years, ever since I first came across his website, www.scholarofthehouse.org, and I wanted to see just how he was faring […]

Sweden: Muslim migrant teens rape 14-year-old girl at school, they stay at school, she is transferred
By Robert Spencer on Mar 07, 2017 08:29 am

Refugees welcome! There has already been a great deal of this, and there will be much, much more. Why? Because the Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O […]
