By Robert Spencer on Aug 22, 2017 07:39 pm

Spanish officials might have thought that he would be grateful, and would become a stable and productive member of Spanish society.

Trump’s Afghanistan speech mentioned “terrorists” but for first time left out “Islamic”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 22, 2017 01:50 pm

Trump appears to have betrayed his campaign promise to speak honestly about the motivating ideology behind jihad terror. McMaster seems to have triumphed completely with his Obamaite denial and willful ignorance regarding the jihad threat. And he is continuing a war that has no focus, no purpose, and no end. The whole speech isn’t bad: […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Aug 22, 2017 09:38 am

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre is challenging the Province of Quebec for “forcing Muslim women to uncover their faces if they want access to public services.” Should Coderre succeed, the public will be put at risk, not because of so-called “Islamophobia,” but because there have been widespread jihad attacks throughout the West and continued calls from […]

No more triple talaq: India court bans Islamic instant divorce
By Robert Spencer on Aug 22, 2017 09:25 am

One of the judges, Justice Kurien Joseph, said the practice was not an essential part of Islam and enjoyed no protection.” Presumably if the court had determined that the practice was Islamic, it would not have outlawed it.
