Hugh Fitzgerald: Derek Holloway, A Podsnap For the Present Age
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Apr 30, 2017 02:43 pm

Here is the story, in the only version acceptable to the British media, the one that malevolently misrepresents the truth of the matter: Parents should be banned from pulling their children out of religious education classes because they are preventing students from learning about Islam, the Church of England has warned. Derek Holloway, the Church’s […]

UK: Muslima gets year in prison for downloading Islamic State magazine and bomb-making instructions
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 01:08 pm

Jade Campbell is apparently yet another convert to Islam who got the idea that her new religion commanded her to commit treason and mass murder. Do British authorities have any interest in discovering where she got her understanding of Islam? Has her mosque been investigated, or would that be “Islamophobic”? And do British authorities think […]

ISIS jihadis from U.S. find life in the Islamic State “very strict” and life “really very bad,” run home
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 12:58 pm

They may indeed have had a hard time in the Islamic State. What a pity. They should not be allowed back into the United States. If a group of Americans had become Nazis and fled to Nazi Germany in 1942, would they be allowed back into the U.S. in 1944? These men are enemy combatants. […]

Eight-year-old son of Islamic State jihadi asks father, “How do you kill a non-Muslim?”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 12:39 pm

The Islamic State’s rhetoric is entirely and consistently framed in Islamic terms. The Muslims who claim that the Islamic State is not Islamic have never made any attempt to disabuse the jihadis, even at a safe distance, from their misunderstanding Islam. Mainstream analysts should consider the implications of that, but they won’t. These boys are […]

Pakistan: Three burqa-clad sisters shoot and kill man after accusing him of blasphemy
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 09:11 am

“The women, in their statement to police, alleged that Abbas had committed blasphemy in 2004, but ‘we couldn’t kill him at the time because we were too young then.'” That’s patience. That’s dedication. In the West, counterterror analysts have frequently claimed that this war could take ten years or more. They haven’t reckoned on jihadi […]

German Parliament bans full-face Islamic veil
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 09:00 am

It’s referred to as a “burqa” in this story, as in all media stories about these matters, but the niqab is much more common in Germany and the West in general. In any case, watch for charges of “Islamophobia” even against this small and essentially symbolic measure. Defending one’s nation and culture is racism and […]

India: Female Muslim leader says women in tight clothes “pollute the environment,” provoke rape
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 07:57 am

Atiya Siddiqua is working from the assumption that it is a woman’s responsibility to make sure a man is not tempted, and her fault if he is. This is the assumption behind honor killing and the punishment of rape victims, which is all too common in some Muslim countries. “Women in tightly-fitted clothes as dangerous […]

UK: Muslim plotted to join the Islamic State and murder cop, was regular worshipper at local mosque
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2017 07:27 am

“Yesterday it emerged that Mohamed Amoudi was investigated for allegedly attempting to travel to Syria to join ISIS, and was held by police in 2015.” Did British police assume that once having been prevented from joining the Islamic State, Amoudi would give up jihad and not try to wage it in the UK? Apparently Amoudi […]
