Foreign Policy covers for Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown’s slavery and rape apologetics
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 06:46 pm

This Foreign Policy piece is a lurid fantasy about how a sinister and well-heeled cabal of racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” have smeared a thoughtful, mild-mannered academic, Professor Jonathan Brown, and opened him up to death threats, as part of a larger endeavor to do nothing less than deprive Muslims of the freedom of speech. In reality, […]

Germany: Five Muslim migrants gang-rape seven-year-old girl at refugee center
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 05:41 pm

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 Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their […]

France: 60% of the population doesn’t feel safe anywhere
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 05:28 pm

And it’s only going to get worse. The 40% just don’t fully realize what is happening yet. The jihad is upon France, and its restive Muslim population that is already turning parts of Paris into a war zone isn’t going to calm down and become a productive and loyal sector of French society. The unrest […]

UK: Muslim uses $1,200 in welfare benefits to take his family to join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 05:18 pm

Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the […]

Convert to Islam from Texas is now top Islamic State leader
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 05:02 pm

American officials remain completely in the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam falling into what those officials generally insist is a perversion of the true, peaceful Islam. Why do so many converts get the idea that their new religion calls for treason and mass murder? No one seems to care to find the answer to […]

Afghan soldier opens fire on US soldiers, wounding three
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 03:04 pm

The Americans are there to train and support the Afghans. Even one of these green-on-blue attacks is too many, especially in light of the fact that the Afghanistan misadventure has no focus, no purpose and no goal. President Trump should end it before more Americans are wounded and killed. “3 US soldiers shot in Afghanistan […]

SPLC conflates groups that really preach hatred with ones that don’t share its political views
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 12:12 pm

Superb piece by Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies about how the Southern Poverty Law Center attempts to delegitimize and marginalize groups that simply don’t share its hard-Left politics by classifying them as “hate groups” alongside the Ku Klux Klan and the like. The establishment media eagerly plays along by treating the SPLC […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Rohingyas, Aung San Suu Kyi, and the Maligning of Myanmar
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Mar 19, 2017 11:55 am

According to most of the world’s media, an unfathomable tragedy has been slowly unfolding in Myanmar. The Buddhist majority, inflamed by sinister monks, has been persecuting, killing, even massacring, members of the entirely inoffensive Muslim Rohingya minority in the northern state of Rakhine (formerly, and in some places still, known as “Arakan”). The term “Rohingya” […]

Texas high school opens Muslim prayer room
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 09:47 am

For decades the ACLU and allied groups fought to get Christian prayer out of American public schools. They were successful. But now prayer is coming back into the schools, and as long as it’s Islamic prayer, it seems to be fine with everyone. This does, however, reinforce the principle of Sharia that Muslims have rights […]

NYC to spend $110,000 taxpayer money to remove Muslim names from sidewalks: “hurt feelings”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 19, 2017 06:36 am

The people who are commemorated are not even the revered figures whose names must not be trampled, but the names are the same, and so the name of the pro-Western secularist Mohammad Reza Pahlevi must be removed because his first name is the same as that of the prophet of Islam, and New York City […]
