What exactly did the Germans expect? Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2017 07:09 pm

The Huffington Post must be getting nervous that too many people are discovering the truth about what Islamic texts really say.

Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi endorse Trump’s attack in Syria
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2017 06:51 pm

That in itself ought to give Trump pause. They haven’t suddenly decided to become generous and bipartisan. They are, if anything, consistent. Trump is now working from the Obama playbook, aiding jihad groups as he did, and so the Democrats couldn’t be more pleased. At last he is presidential. But he is betraying the promises […]

Sweden: Manhunt on for truck attacker who murdered at least three
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2017 01:02 pm

Swedish police released this photo of the man they’re looking for. If the attacker is a Muslim, as is almost certainly the case, then this is the direct result of Sweden’s immigration policies. If he is a native-born Muslim, that only shows that these policies are long-standing and that Muslims aren’t assimilating. These attacks are […]

Jihad in Stockholm? 3 dead, shots fired as truck plows into pedestrians
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2017 10:08 am

We have seen a spate of attacks recently in which jihadis used their cars as weapons. There was a vehicular jihad attack yesterday in Israel. The jihad attack recently in London followed the same pattern. And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by […]

“Short-sighted”: Trump hits Assad airbase in response to chemical weapons attack
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2017 09:17 am

There is no question that Assad is a scoundrel. That is not in dispute. The problem with this action is the same as it was when Obama wanted to strike Assad: who benefits? The Assad regime said this strike “can only be described as short-sighted.” Right. The Islamic State (ISIS), although weakened, is still there. […]
