“Moderate” Malaysia bans book on Islamic “voices of moderation”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 07:26 pm

Why don’t we see more sincere Muslim reformers? If they get this kind of reception in “moderate” Malaysia, imagine how they’re received everywhere else. The leaders of Malaysia, like Muslim leaders the world over, know what is in Islamic texts and teachings. And they act accordingly. “Malaysia accused of bowing to Islamists with book ban,” […]

Nigeria: Muslims ambush oil exploration team, murder at least 69
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 07:03 pm

“Experts said the attack — Boko Haram’s bloodiest this year — underscored the persistent threat it poses, despite government claims the group is a spent force.” The Nigerian government also vowed to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2014. And by the end of 2015. And now it is a spent force that just […]

Break out the champagne: State Department officials quitting over “complete and utter disdain for our expertise”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 05:17 pm

We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them. Chief among these is the almost universally held idea that poverty causes terrorism. The United States has wasted uncounted (literally, because a great deal of it was in untraceable bags full […]

UK Bedfordshire Police: “Do you think you could spot the signs of right wing extremism?”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 05:08 pm

No, of course the Bedfordshire Police has not asked people if they think they could spot the signs of Islamic jihad activity. Britain has its priorities: as far as British authorities are concerned, opposing jihad terror (i.e., “right wing extremism”) is a much more serious offense than jihad terror itself. Yet only one of the […]

“We kill them because Allah told us to, and not because they attack us”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 02:35 pm

“The whole idea that this is merely a political war, is wrong. We kill them, because Allah told us to, and not because they attack us. The only way out for them is to convert or to pay a head tax.” That’s in complete accord with the Qur’an and Islamic law: “Fight those who believe […]

UK: Muslim rape gang leader to be freed from prison 17 years early
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 01:33 pm

What could possibly go wrong, you greasy Islamophobe? To keep him in prison any longer would be “Islamophobic.” The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell […]

Germany: Islamic State recruiter tells undercover reporter “Go to a hospital and calmly kill them”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 12:45 pm

“Believe me, Akhi [brother], it will fill their hearts with so much terror, because everybody can do this.” “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not […]

Wasserman Schultz seemingly planned to pay Muslim IT suspect even while he lived in Pakistan
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 10:44 am

“Imran Awan did admit to me that my phone is tapped and there are devices installed in my house” and “Imran Awan threatened that he is very powerful and if I ever call the police again, [he] will … kidnap my family members back in Pakistan,” his stepmother, Samina Gilani, claimed. This man “could read […]

Google’s new “hate speech” algorithm is anti-Semitic and pro-jihad
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 10:29 am

As I revealed here several days ago, Google has bowed to Muslim pressure and changed its search results to conceal criticism of Islam and jihad. Search results that Muslim leaders (whose motives Google apparently never questions or investigates) have made sure that sites such as Jihad Watch are buried in search results, with numerous site […]

Islamic Reform: How Firm a Foundation?
By Andrew Harrod on Jul 30, 2017 10:17 am

“If this book [Quran] came from God and it’s divine and perfect, then the Jihadis are justified,” states Islam reformer Shireen Qudosi in The Challenge of Modernizing Islam: Reformers Speak Out and the Obstacles They Face. Her sober conclusion amidst an illuminating collection of interviews with her like-minded colleagues in Christine Douglass-Williams’ indispensable recent book […]

Germany: Muslim “known to police” opens fire in nightclub, murdering two, cops say “no indications” of terrorism
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 05:40 am

Kleine Zeitung reports that two people were killed, and that the shooter was “known to police.” But the police insist that this was not a jihad terror attack, since after all, hardly anything ever really is. Just coincidentally, the believers in a religion that calls for the murder of those who do not believe the […]

Kansas: Muslim gets 30 years for jihad mass murder plot at Fort Riley
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2017 04:41 am

Booker, like so very many jihadis and Islamic supremacists before him, is playing the victim: “During a rambling statement he made to Murguia, Booker complained that he wasn’t given help to deal with his mental health issues. If he had received money to help him deal with his problems, Booker wouldn’t be in court facing […]
