UK cops actively sought out “Islamophobia” reports after Westminster jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 07:55 pm

And they now have over 900 police officers working exclusively on investigating claims of hate crimes. If those 900 officers had been working on jihad terror, the Westminster jihad attack may never have happened, and there would have been no increase in claimed incidents of “Islamophobia.” Voila! Problem solved! “EXCLUSIVE: UK Police SOUGHT OUT ‘Islamophobia’ […]

Relevant here is a statement attributed to Muhammad: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they […]

North Chicago: Muslim cop who claims “Islamophobic” harassment made anti-Semitic remarks
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 07:17 pm

“Sabet was accused of making racial comments about Jews and then lying about it when questioned by investigators.” What’s more, “City officials deny there was any harassment or discrimination.” And so here again we have a Muslim claiming victim status without any factual basis for doing so. Hate crimes are political capital, after all, and […]

Iran sentences man to death for insulting Islam after promising pardon if he confessed
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 06:54 pm

Deceiving him was acceptable for the good of Islam. Islamic law does not provide for leniency to the blasphemer if he confesses. This is related to the concept of taqiyya, which as a concept is specifically Shi’ite, although Sunnis have doctrines regarding deceiving unbelievers as well. Taqiyya as a specific concept by that name was […]

Australia: Muslim MP wants to make offending Muslims a criminal offense
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 12:45 pm

Anne Aly has for years been an Islamic supremacist foe of free discourse. In August 2014 I wrote here about her false claims that Islam doesn’t sanction beheading and grants equality of rights to women. Instead of responding on substance, which I understand that she could not really do since I had produced numerous Qur’an […]

Italy: Three Muslims arrested for Islamic State plot to blow up historic Rialto Bridge in Venice
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 11:41 am

“Considering how many infidels there are in Venice, we could get to heaven right away by putting a bomb on the Rialto bridge.” That idea is straight from the Qur’an: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties; for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: UN Human Rights Chief: ‘Legal Obligation to Stop Hate Speech’
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 10:43 am

The jihad against free speech continues, and virtually no one is paying attention to how rapidly it is advancing. My latest in PJ Media: United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein declared last week that the nations of the world “have a legal obligation to stop hate speech and hate crimes.” This […]

BBC whitewashes Islamic motivation of Westminster jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Mar 30, 2017 09:26 am

Farasat knew Masood five years ago. A lot can happen in five years. Farasat’s description of a quiet, pious family man conflicts with Masood’s history of violence. Above all, Farasat says nothing about the fact that Masood was once investigated for “violent extremism,” and of course the BBC interviewer doesn’t ask him about that. Farasat […]

Saudi, Islamic State, Iranian activity in Latin America “major security threat” to US
By Christine Williams on Mar 30, 2017 08:59 am

Growing Islamic extremism in Latin America constitutes a “major security threat” to the United States… The Islamic Republic has the capability and infrastructure to strike the United States from Latin America, but experts disagree over whether it would take that risk. It is reckless for so-called experts to gamble with the lives of the American […]
