New York Times demonizes YAF and Robert Spencer for bringing alternative views to campuses
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 06:48 pm

The real story of my appearance at the University at Buffalo was how campus Left-fascists and Islamic supremacists screamed abuse at me for an hour and a half, such that I was able to say very little. The real story, in other words, is about how Left-fascists on campuses nationwide are increasingly authoritarian, unwilling to […]

Trump views exhibit on religious tolerance in Saudi Arabia, which allows only Islam
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 12:16 pm

What a comic opera absurdity. Did President Trump ask King Salman where the churches and synagogues and Hindu temples were in Saudi Arabia? Did he ask the sinister little king how his exhibition of tolerance and coexistence among different faiths squared with the Saudi Grand Mufti’s calling for the demolition of churches? Did he ask […]

Robert Spencer poisoning: “Rioting…or physically attacking a conservative speaker are not enough”
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 12:05 pm

Now the Left is trying to kill us. And more is to come. A good piece from my friend Thomas Craughwell in the American Spectator on my being poisoned last week in Iceland: “Ecstasy on Ice — But Not the Good Kind,” by Thomas J. Craughwell, American Spectator, May 19, 2017: Somebody just tried to […]

UK: Muslims outraged by question “How Islamic is Islamic State?”
By Christine Williams on May 20, 2017 11:30 am

A question just as relevant as “how Islamic is Islamic State?” is this one: why should any such question anger Muslims and a leading Muslim group? This perpetual defensiveness and victimhood posturing, and the shutting down of legitimate discourse actually shows that these Muslim groups share much in common with the Islamic State’s doctrine, which […]

Islamic State beheads and dismembers dozens of women and children in jihad attack on Shia villages
By Christine Williams on May 20, 2017 11:17 am

The series of deadly attacks in the central Hama province targeted villages where most residents belong to the Ismaili branch of Shia Islam. The Islamic State considers Ismailis apostates, and the Sharia punishment for apostasy is death. But you won’t hear much about Muslim-on-Muslim violence committed in the name of Islam from the mainstream media. […]

Agents of the Islamic Republic of Iran operated polling stations across US for Friday’s Iranian election
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 10:53 am

“The Iranian regime is believed to be operating polling stations across the United States ahead of the country’s election on Friday, an effort that appears to violate U.S. laws barring Iranian agents from operating on American soil in this manner, according to sources apprised of the situation.” What could possibly go wrong, you greasy Islamophobe?

Gavin McInnes on the Left: “My speech at DePaul got cancelled — and Robert Spencer got poisoned”
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 10:32 am

“The school’s president doesn’t seem to understand the state of free speech. We are being attacked and pepper-sprayed. They are burning down schools and threatening our lives. Charles Murray had to be smuggled out and a professor next to him was knocked unconscious. On top of all this thuggery, police at these talks are being […]

UK: Whitehall jihadi terror suspect refuses lawyer because he is “represented by Allah”
By Christine Williams on May 20, 2017 10:18 am

When asked if he planned on instructing a barrister, he replied: ‘My legal representative is Allah, but from your side, why would I need any one?’ These words of fervent Islamic faith are critical for understanding the war the West faces against the global jihad, but they will be largely ignored. Khalid Mohammed Omar Ali […]

Audio: Robert Spencer on the Jon Gaunt Show on Muslim rape gangs and being poisoned in Iceland
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 09:48 am

This was a good show. Unlike Leftist “journalists,” Gaunt asked good questions and gave me time to answer them. “Pod Three – LIVE FROM WASHINGTON DC – Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer speaks out! 18th May,” The Jon Gaunt Show, May 18, 2017: Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, was banned from entering the UK […]

UK: Muslim rape gang leader blames “white community for allowing teenage girls to go around unsupervised”
By Christine Williams on May 20, 2017 08:51 am

Of course, the “white community,” that is, non-Muslims, are always to blame for any wrongdoing by Muslims; leftists accept this guilt. No matter what the facts of any particular case are, leftists and Islamic supremacists frame the incident as one of white people (the villains) victimizing Muslims (the victims). Leftists and Islamic supremacists appear to […]

Hawaii: Fighter jets escort US plane to landing after Muslim tries to break into cockpit
By Robert Spencer on May 20, 2017 08:19 am

Because of this incident, fighter jets escorted the plane into Honolulu. Uskanil, as you can see from the report below, was drinking — so therefore people will say that this incident had nothing to do with Islam or jihad. And that may be, although it may also be that he was drinking to steel himself […]
