US form used to screen immigrants doesn’t ask about ties to groups such as al-Qaeda or the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 01:20 pm

“Form N-400 asks various questions, including whether the applicant supports the Constitution or if they’ve ever been members of the Communist or World War II-era German Nazi parties, which are included by law. It also asks if the immigrant is in any way associated with any terrorist organizations but doesn’t list specific groups’ names, such […]

Lawyer: Trump Executive Order on Immigration violates First Amendment because honor killings are Islamic
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 01:06 pm

Katyal is right. Honor killings are Islamic. But he is, to my knowledge, the first Western Leftist ever to admit that fact. 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 […]

Christine Williams: My personal warning to Icelanders
By Christine Williams on May 16, 2017 12:25 pm

On a visit to Iceland, I joined Robert Spencer for a speech on May 11th at an event at the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, entitled: “Everything you wanted to know about Islam but were afraid to ask.” Prior to the visit, Spencer was already demonized by the Reykjavik Grapevine publication as an “Islamophobe” who promoted […]

Icelandic Leftist poisons Robert Spencer
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 11:36 am

Last Thursday, I gave a lecture on the jihad threat at the Grand Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland. Shortly thereafter, a young Icelandic Leftist registered his disapproval of what I said by poisoning me. It happened after the event, when my security chief, the organizers of the event, and Jihad Watch writer Christine Williams, who had […]

Mexico: Muslim stabs priest at the altar of Mexico City’s Metropolitan Cathedral
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 11:12 am

The priest wasn’t hosting a Muhammad cartoon contest. He hadn’t “provoked” Muslims or “poked them in the eye.” He was simply a Christian cleric carrying out his duties. John Rene Rockschiil, apparently a convert to Islam, seems to have found that insulting enough. Christians whose sense of charity moves them to want to avoid insulting […]

Sharia Italy: Newspaper editor charged with having “publicly injured the Islam religion”
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 11:00 am

“Islamic bastards.” Intemperate language, to be sure. But subject to prosecution? Do you think that Marco Belpietro would have been prosecuted if he had written “Christian bastards”? Neither do I. “In the public prosecutor’s indictment Belpietro is accused of having ‘publicly injured the Islam religion through contempt towards those who profess it.'” How do Belpietro’s […]

Sweden: 70-year-old woman prosecuted for “hate” for accusing Muslim migrants of torching cars
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 10:35 am

“A 70-year-old Swedish woman in Dalarna is being prosecuted for hate speech after claiming on Facebook she saw migrants defecating in the streets and setting fire to cars.” Was her claim really that implausible? Muslim migrants routinely torch cars in France. Is it so impossible that Muslim migrants would do so in Sweden? Clearly this […]

Turkey accused of cracking down on critics abroad
By Christine Williams on May 16, 2017 08:40 am

The New York Times reported that Gulenists have been hunted and in hiding as a result of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s aggressive campaign against them, despite their insistence that they are not involved in plotting against him and the implausibility of the charges themselves. Erdogan is now reportedly expanding his jihadist thuggery and reach, as his […]

Imam in Canada defends imam in Denmark who called for killing of Jews
By Christine Williams on May 16, 2017 08:32 am

The violent anti-Semitic preaching of imam Mundhir Abdallah calling for the murder of Jews caused outrage in Denmark, yet Jewish community leader Dan Rosenberg did his best to dismiss Mundhir’s words. Minimizing is a form of tolerating, which only serves to embolden jihadists. Now, a prominent imam in London, Ontario, Mazin AbdulAdhim, has come out in […]

Minneapolis: Muslims littering leads to discovery of their weapons arsenal and bomb-making equipment
By Robert Spencer on May 16, 2017 04:46 am

“According to police, a man walked by a parked car in north Minneapolis about 5 p.m. Thursday and confronted the people inside after they threw food wrappers on the ground. They ignored him until he paused to get the car license number. The men then got out of the car and indicated they had guns…Inside, […]
