UK: Muslim pol says London jihadi was “violent Christian before he was a violent Muslim”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 06:53 pm

A large part of my work is making elementary distinctions that are repeatedly obscured, and apparently deliberately so, by those who should know better, and probably do. In the first place, there is no evidence as far as I know that Masood was an observant or devout Christian at any time in his life, and […]

Florida: Muslim prof teaches Islam as fact, Christian student disagrees, gets suspended, police report filed
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 06:39 pm

Professor Areej Zufari taught “that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax and that his disciples did not believe he was God.” This is not historical fact. It is pure Islamic dogma. Unless Marshall Polston had signed up for a class on Islamic dogma, Zufari had no business teaching these views as fact rather than […]

France’s Hollande says his final mission is to ensure that “populism, nationalism and extremism cannot win”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 06:07 pm

Not, say, fighting against jihad terror that has made Paris tense and ugly. Hollande is essentially saying that he is going to do everything he can to ensure that France doesn’t defend itself against the advancing jihad, or cut off the refugee flow by means of which jihadis are entering France. He will make sure […]

London jihad murderer was receiving welfare checks
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 05:32 pm

In Islamic law, non-Muslims have the duty to provide for the upkeep of Muslims. British jihadist Anjem Choudary said in February 2013: “We are on Jihad Seekers Allowance, We take the Jizya (protection money paid to Muslims by non-Muslims) which is ours anyway. The normal situation is to take money from the Kafir (non-Muslim), isn’t […]

London jihadi’s daughter refused his pressure to convert to Islam, wear a niqab
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 05:14 pm

UK Prime Minister Theresa May said it would be wrong to describe Masood’s jihad attack as “Islamic” extremism. She said: “It is Islamist terrorism. It is a perversion of a great faith.” But was there anything about Masood before his jihad massacre that would have identified him as an “Islamist” rather than as a Muslim? […]

Australia: Muslim leader says people who leave Islam should be put to death
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 02:14 pm

The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them […]

Iowa State University asks students to write about 9/11 jihad attacks from jihadis’ perspective
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 12:21 pm

“‘As you can see, the assignment was in no way an attempt to diminish the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Nor was it designed to support the goals of Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations,’ said Rob Schweers, ISU’s director of communications…’This is similar to the vital work being performed in our nation’s diplomatic and […]

Pakistani government: Facebook heeded its demand and has removed 85% of “blasphemous” material
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 11:17 am

The Western world is adopting Sharia blasphemy restrictions with nary a whimper. Now Facebook and Twitter have blocked 90% of their daily referrals from Jihad Watch, and the site is blocked by many Internet service providers in the UK and Europe. I would say that it’s all over but the shouting, but the shouting is […]

FBI agent “didn’t try to stop” Garland jihad attackers — did FBI want Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer dead?
By Robert Spencer on Mar 27, 2017 10:38 am

Although we were co-organizers of the event, neither Pamela Geller nor I appear, except in one still photo, in this 60 Minutes piece on the jihad attack at our Garland, Texas free speech event in May 2015. All they say is that “a self-described free speech advocate named Pamela Geller was holding a provocative contest.” […]
