Tillerson declines to host Ramadan event at State Department
By Robert Spencer on May 28, 2017 12:18 am

This may signal an end to nearly two decades of Islamopandering. If it weren’t for international jihad terrorism, there would never have been these government Ramadan observances, which are an effort to show Muslims that we really aren’t that bad, so please don’t kill us. These events are a result of the analysis that places […]

Trump says jihad attacks “contrary to spirit of Ramadan,” Muslims enraged because he mentioned terrorism
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 10:15 am

What about jihad violence is contrary to the spirit of Ramadan? The many Islamic authorities quoted in this piece would disagree with President Trump. But Muslims are enraged anyway, because Trump had the temerity in his Ramadan message, alongside these soothing falsehoods, to mention jihad terrorism. He is supposed to toe the establishment line that […]

Michigan: Muslim sues Little Caesars for $100 million over pepperoni pizza
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 10:03 am

“Moughni said the manager claims that Bazzi requested a Hot-n-Ready pepperoni pizza and that he requested a halal sticker be placed on the box. That’s a claim he denies.” That sounds as if Bazzi was trying to set up Little Caesars with a false label for which he himself was responsible. He denies it, of […]

Manchester jihadi’s imam filmed fighting with jihadis in Libya; claimed he was there to help family
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 09:48 am

According to a hadith, Muhammad said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268). And the British authorities are so very, very eager to be deceived. “Manchester killer’s imam ‘was filmed fighting with militants in Libya despite claiming he was there to help his parents and brothers flee the violence,'” by Chris Greenwood, Sam Greenhill and Ian Drury, […]

MI5 reveals that up to 23,000 jihadis are living in Britain
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 09:29 am

Is anyone surprised? Theresa May and her ilk have the Britain they have chosen, the Britain they have created. For years, May and her cohorts have hounded, stigmatized, and demonized foes of jihad terror, falsely claiming that they represent a “far-right” equivalent to jihad terrorists, while appeasing and accommodating Muslim groups in Britain, many of […]

Video from Australia: Muslim girl, 14, forced to marry man 20 years older
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 09:14 am

Few aspects of Islam that contradict Western laws and principles of human rights are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Mancunian Morrissey v. The Guardian (Round One)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on May 27, 2017 08:35 am

There are two things to know about the British newspaper The Guardian. One is that it is comically, even ludicrously far left. The second is that, though militantly secular in all other respects, the newspaper remains a staunch apologist and Defender of the Faith, as long as that faith is Islam. Morrissey (he goes by […]

UK at war: Manchester neighborhood sealed off as bomb squad arrives and police search
By Robert Spencer on May 27, 2017 08:17 am

It is doubtful that the bomb squad has had to be called to the home of a member of the “far-right,” but no doubt the British government and media will continue to pretend that the threat of jihad and the threat of those who oppose jihad is equivalent. “Live updates – Moss Side streets sealed […]

Salman Abedi called teacher ‘Islamophobic’ for condemning jihad suicide bombings
By Christine Douglass-Williams on May 27, 2017 08:10 am

Considering the widespread atrocities going on in the Muslim world, there should be an outcry from Muslims condemning jihad/martyrdom suicide bombings in the name of their religion, as well as condemnation for the religiously sanctioned beating of wives, killing of gays, apostates, etc. Instead, the outcry is against anyone who speaks the truth about these […]

Egypt strikes jihad bases Libya in retaliation for murder of 28 Coptic Christians
By Christine Douglass-Williams on May 27, 2017 07:21 am

Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi endorsed Trump’s words: “I trust you, your word and your ability to make fighting global terror your primary task.” Sisi’s reaction to Trump is in stark contrast to his response to Barack Obama: he told Obama that he “betrayed Egyptians and turned your back on Egyptians, who won’t forget that.” […]
