UK police on London jihadi: “There is a possibility we will never understand why he did this”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 08:25 pm

They’ve arrested many people in connection with the attack, but they say he acted alone. He was a “very religious” Muslim following an Islamic State modus operandi — running down people in a car and then getting out and stabbing — that other Islamic jihadis have followed in the recent past, and they say, “We […]

Canada: Imam quotes Muhammad, complaint lodged with police
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 07:04 pm

This entire episode shows the perils of assuming, as nearly everyone does, that mosques in the West teach peace and tolerance, and that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are moderate and loyal members of secular societies. This mosque is under fire for hosting an imam who preached: “O Muslim, O servant of Allah, O Muslim, […]

Brussels mayor: “All mosques in Brussels are in the hands of Salafists”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 05:52 pm

“Everyone knows that all mosques in Brussels are in the hands of Salafists. We need to change this, we need new mosques that follow our democratic rules and that are being controlled by the government.” Good luck with that, but Mayor Mayeur should ask himself why it is that all the mosques in Brussels are […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 04:57 pm

“At this time, we know that many of our Muslim neighbours and friends who detest Islamist ideology will be feeling anxious. Our message is clear: our society must stand united at this time and not be turned against one another by extremists of any kind who wish to divide us. There can be no excuse […]

London jihad murderer was “very religious”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 04:38 pm

“Masood was a ‘very religious, well spoken man. You couldn’t go to his home in Birmingham on Friday because he would be at prayer.'” If Masood had been a “very religious” Christian, the establishment media would be investigating what was taught at his church, and publishing searching features about the crisis within Christianity. But since […]

Australia: Muslim teen in deradicalization program plotted jihad massacre
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 04:02 pm

Deradicalization programs, upon which the West has placed so much hope, have long been an obvious failure. Such programs are based on the premise that the true teachings of Islam are peaceful, and so all that needs to be done is show the jihadis how they’re misunderstanding the Qur’an and overlooking its teachings of peace, […]

Theresa May: “The fight against terrorism and hate speech has to be a joint one”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 01:44 pm

By this May means, as Pamela Geller has pointed out, that “the fight against jihad and those who oppose jihad is a joint one.” This is because opposition to jihad terror is routinely characterized by Theresa May and her colleagues as “hate speech.” It has been a years-long chess game: first came the charge, ridiculous […]

German state bans mosque group after imam repeatedly calls for killing of infidels
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 01:29 pm

An imam? A man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and teaching it properly was preaching that Muslims should kill non-Muslims? Why, it’s inconceivable! Theresa May and Pope Francis and George W. Bush and a multitude of other non-Muslim imams are doubtless on their way to Hesse now to explain to this […]

France: Veiled Muslim woman threatens passersby with a knife
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 12:45 pm

“Veiled from head to foot, the accused had already tried, while threatening people with her 20-centimeter blade, to enter the church of Saint-Benigne and had gone, still threatening, to rue Michelet.” There needs to be a study forthwith of the rising “Islamophobia” in Dijon that drove this poor dear to do this. “Dijon: the veiled […]

Canadians Duped: A Victorious Day for Islamic Supremacists
By Christine Williams on Mar 25, 2017 12:02 pm

The Canadian House of Commons passed anti-Islamophobia motion (M-103) on Thursday, leaving opponents stunned that protests and tens of thousands of Canadian signatures to petitions calling for rejection of the motion were ignored. M-103 was touted as advancing tolerance, inclusiveness and racial harmony, but instead it bestows a special status to Muslims and is a […]

London jihad murderer “said he needed time to pray and read the Koran – something about finding inner peace”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 25, 2017 10:30 am

The Qur’an promises that fighting the unbelievers will “satisfy the breasts of a believing people and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts”: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people and remove the fury in […]
