By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 07:32 pm

La Grande Mosquée de Paris said: “It is a clear sign of hope to French Muslims that they can live in harmony and respect of French values.” The election of Macron is a sign of hope to Muslims in France that they can live in harmony and respect of French values? So if Le Pen […]

By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 03:05 pm

This is indication enough of France’s choice of suicide. About Sarsour, see here. About Billoo, see here.

Hugh Fitzgerald: Douce France
By Hugh Fitzgerald on May 07, 2017 02:27 pm

[Editor’s note: Hugh Fitzgerald first published this essay here at Jihad Watch in 2004. Now, in light of the landslide election of Emmanuel Macron as President, it is more germane than ever, and hence eminently worthy of republishing. The names of the politicians have changed; the overall situation is the same.] Imagine that you are […]

France chooses national suicide, elects Macron in landslide
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 02:19 pm

Lights out for France. The French have chosen not to be so “racist” and “Islamophobic” as to resist the jihad that is being waged against them with ever greater ferocity. Europe as a whole, too, appears to be poised to make the same choice, and vote itself out of existence. And then it will be […]

The Islamic State justifies killing women and children by invoking Muhammad’s example
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 02:06 pm

This ain’t Karen Armstrong’s Muhammad, this is the real thing: killing women and children is justified in a hadith in which Muhammad waves away those who object. “It is reported on the authority of Sa’b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when asked about the women and children of […]

The Catholic Church is punishing U.S. priests for speaking the truth about Islam and jihad
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 01:29 pm

Many bishops protected priests who were child molesters for years, transferring them from parish to parish and allowing them to prey upon new children rather than turning them over to police. In the Catholic Church today, protecting the image of Islam appears to be job one: you can be a cleric who speaks out against […]

Buffalo News: “Rude behavior” at Robert Spencer speech “drags UB students into bad company”
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 12:31 pm

“The ugliness being displayed on college campuses where protesters have become violent or threatened violence because of the conservative views of speakers would be disturbing in any context, but is especially so when it occurs on college campuses that should be havens of free speech.” Yes. It’s long past time to drain the swamp of […]

Netanyahu to Abbas: “Google yourself”
By Robert Spencer on May 07, 2017 12:27 pm

Abbas lied brazenly to President Trump, claiming that his government “educates for peace” and that the Palestinian Authority is “raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace.” In reality, as the most cursory examination of the clips at Palestinian Media Watch proves, the Palestinian Authority is educating its children in Jew-hatred […]

“The late Saturday killing in the coastal city of Al-Arish came one day after ISIS’s local affiliate warned it would escalate attacks against Christians.” This man was just going about his business. Then came the Muslims of the Islamic State. “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war […]

Quilliam’s “Former Extremist” Adam Deen Still Supports the Jihad Against Israel
By Brian Thomas on May 07, 2017 08:57 am

Last week, Tommy Robinson and Rebel Media challenged Quilliam after one of their researchers wrote an article in the Guardian. The inescapable conclusion that reasonable people would draw from Julia Ebner’s article, “The far right thrives on global networks. They must be fought online and off” is that Tommy Robinson is a far-right extremist and even a […]
