UK: Muslima shot by police as they foil active jihad mass murder plot
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 09:45 pm

“Counter-terrorism units have been making arrests on a near daily basis amid a huge effort to contain the threat to the UK.” That is dramatic evidence that their entire approach to the jihad threat is wrongheaded and doomed to failure. But no one in the May government seems to be in a particularly reflective mood. […]

Westminster jihad murderer Khalid Masood, in last message, declared he was waging jihad
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 06:12 pm

How inconvenient for the mainstream narrative. Deputy assistant Metropolitan police commissioner Neil Basu said in March: “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.” Anything to avoid noting an Islamic motivation. “Last message left by Westminster attacker Khalid Masood […]

Pope in Egypt: “Let us say… ‘No!’ to every form of violence…carried out in the name of religion”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 06:00 pm

It’s hard to be Egyptian: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, diseased livestock, boils, hailstorms, locusts, darkness, death of firstborn, and now Pope Francis. Seriously, Francis notes the “incompatibility of violence and faith” and says: “Let us say once more a firm and clear ‘No!’ to every form of violence, vengeance and hatred […]

PA cuts salaries to Gaza workers, not to jihadist prisoners
By Christine Williams on Apr 28, 2017 02:00 pm

The PA announced it is cutting salaries to state employees in Gaza, but is not cutting the salaries it pays to terrorist prisoners including murderers and released terrorists who will continue receiving their full salaries. The Palestinian Authority’s routine abuse of its own people (as well as that of Hamas) makes it no surprise that the […]

By Christine Williams on Apr 28, 2017 12:21 pm

Current federal law criminalizes the practice of FGM, but does not specifically require reporting on it, though health care providers are obligated to report instances of child abuse, a category in which FGM falls Female genital mutilation is gratuitous violence against girls and women, and is a violation of human rights; failing to report it not […]

Germaine Greer justifies child marriage, says female genital mutilation is “not Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 09:52 am

We see it again and again with feminists: defending Islam trumps their concern for the rights of women, just as we see with gay rights activists such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman that defending Islam trumps their concern for the persecution of gays in Muslim countries. What is behind this odd calculus is a […]

UK: Muslim teen plotted jihad massacre at Elton John concert
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 09:17 am

You have to give Haroon Syed credit for good taste, but nonetheless, his remedy for this Elton John concert was a bit extreme. “Judge Michael Topolski QC adjourned sentencing until June 8 for a probation and psychiatric report to be done.” Of course, because Western authorities always assume that jihadis must be insane. They assume […]

Pakistan: Teen girl forced into sex slavery, then murdered by Muslim brother for “illicit relationships with some men”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 09:02 am

Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father […]

UK: Muslim student leaves ball-bearing bomb on London Tube train, walks away to attend lecture
By Robert Spencer on Apr 28, 2017 08:18 am

British officials remain completely uninterested in the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam falling into what those officials generally insist is a perversion of the true, peaceful Islam. Why do so many converts get the idea that their new religion calls for treason and mass murder? No one seems to care to find the answer. […]
