Barbarism is so hot right now. My latest in PJ Media: Should neo-Nazis be allowed to use gym facilities? It’s an odd question, but it has larger implications for the future of conservatives in the public square, and for America’s prospects of staving off a new civil war. The question about neo-Nazis and the gym […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on May 31, 2017 05:01 pm

In his recent book “Jihad and Death: The Global Appeal of Islamic State,” Roy argues that about 70 percent of these young people have scant knowledge of Islam, and suggests they are “radical” before even choosing Islam. He dubs them “born again Muslims” who lead libertine lives before their sudden conversion to violent fundamentalism. — […]

By Robert Spencer on May 31, 2017 11:27 am

Hate crime is a booming business today: both Leftists and their Muslim allies are making as much of use of hate crimes as they possibly can in order to discredit foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression as racist, redneck, violent yahoos who deserve no place in the public square.

Brooklyn public school won’t serve food at prom until 9PM because of Ramadan
By Robert Spencer on May 31, 2017 10:40 am

What special accommodation has Brooklyn Tech made for Jewish religious observance? Christian religious observance? That’s right, Brooklyn Tech hasn’t made any such accommodation. Notice also how in this accommodation to Muslim students, all non-Muslim students at the prom have to be inconvenienced and made to comply with Islamic religious laws. Imagine the outcry if Brooklyn […]

Pakistan: Village court orders rape victim to be killed or sold as slave because of adultery charges
By Robert Spencer on May 31, 2017 10:13 am

The whole idea in Islam of women covering their hair and, among some Muslims, their faces as well, is that women are the sources of male temptation. Men can’t be expected to control themselves, so it is the woman’s responsibility to cover herself so as to make sure that no temptation occurs. If a man […]

Here is that “renowned patronage of architecture” in action: The church was still thronged. The Holy Liturgy was ended, and the service of matins was being sung. At the sound […]

By Robert Spencer on May 31, 2017 09:14 am

The Telegraph had this on May 25: “Mr Ramadan said he understood that Abedi had been placed on a ‘watch list’ because the mosque reported him to the authorities for his extremist views. A well-placed source at Didsbury Mosque confirmed it had contacted the Home Office’s Prevent anti-radicalisation programme as a result.” But it was […]

The real cause of Islamic terrorism: “We are motivated by our religion, by our Qur’an and Sunnah”
By Nicolai Sennels on May 31, 2017 09:02 am

Every time a new jihad attack strikes innocents in the West, media and politicians get busy blaming “bad integration,” “poverty,” “marginalization,” “racism,” etc. For some reason, it never occurs to them to ask if Islamic terrorism has anything to do with Islam and the increasing number of followers of this particular religion in our countries.

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis shooting people dead for failing to quote the Qur’an
By Robert Spencer on May 31, 2017 08:50 am

One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have learned imams such as H. R.
