Muslim receiving cancer treatment in Israel arrested smuggling explosives from Gaza
By Robert Spencer on Apr 19, 2017 07:00 pm

This should be (but won’t be) a lesson to those who tout the efficacy of hearts-and-minds initiatives: the divinely commanded imperative to wage war against the Infidels always trumps any gratitude a good mujahid might feel toward them. “Cancer patient stopped at Gaza-Israel crossing with explosive material,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, April 19, 2017 […]

Australia: Muslim who murdered six by hitting them with his car says “Muslim faith is the correct faith”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 19, 2017 11:19 am

Back in January when I initially reported on Gargasoulas’ self-identification as a Muslim, numerous people indignantly tweeted and emailed me, saying that Dimitrious Gargasoulas was not Muslim, he was Greek, and this was not a jihad attack, as he was simply insane. That Islam is a religion and Greek is a nationality seemed to escape […]

MSNBC “counterterror expert” Malcolm Nance calls for Islamic State jihad bombing of Trump property
By Robert Spencer on Apr 19, 2017 11:07 am

The far-Left Islamic apologist Malcolm Nance is the quintessential establishment counterterror “expert.” (I had to laugh when I saw his self-description: he says he is a “former Arabic speaking naval intelligence counter-terrorism and intelligence officer specializing in the Middle East.” “Former Arabic speaking,” eh? How did he forget all his Arabic?) His book on the […]

When he was arrested, he screamed “Allahu akbar.” According to the […]

AP changes Fresno jihad mass murderer’s words from “Allahu akbar,” removes Islam reference
By Robert Spencer on Apr 19, 2017 09:35 am

This is typical of the establishment propaganda media, which apparently now considers its chief responsibility not to report on jihad attacks accurately, but to make sure that no one thinks negatively about Islam as a result of those attacks. “AP Changes Fresno Shooter’s Words From ‘Allahu Akbar,’ Removes Islam Reference,” by Peter Hasson, Daily Caller, […]

Islamic State and al Qaeda in renewed talks to join forces
By Christine Williams on Apr 19, 2017 09:15 am

Should this significant jihadist merger happen, it will mean double trouble, not just in Iraq and Syria, but also in expanded jihad missions globally. And it wouldn’t be difficult, since the Islamic State emerged from al-Qaeda and diverged from it only on tactics, not on beliefs. On the good news side, the Islamic State and […]
