UK: Man with machete attacks two cops outside Buckingham Palace
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 07:55 pm

Right-wing extremists? Anglican fanatics? Maybe. But there is, as unlikely as it may be, one other possibility. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 03:40 pm

White supremacists? A mentally ill lone wolf? Or Islamic jihadists? No telling yet, but there is this: the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, […]

National Catholic Reporter: “The Muslim Jesus provides common ground for Christianity, Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 02:55 pm

Note that the National Catholic Reporter’s Ra’fat Al-Dajani uncritically repeats the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations’ claims about “anti-Muslim hate crimes,” without mentioning how often these “hate crimes” turn out to have been perpetrated by Muslims themselves (scroll down at that link to find many examples). Ra’fat Al-Dajani also leaves out a few passages of […]

Iran caught shipping jihad warriors to Syria on commercial flights in violation of nuclear deal
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 02:27 pm

“The release of these photographs allegedly showing Iran Air’s illegal activity comes as top U.S. air carrier manufacturer Boeing moves forward with a multi-billion dollar deal to sell Iran Air a new modern fleet.” If the Trump administration still has the will to do something about the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, which is by no […]

Mosque aided planning Temple Mount jihad murder of two Israeli guards
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 02:13 pm

But remember: if you even express the possibility that jihad terror activity could be being plotted in mosques, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Mosque’s muezzin aided Temple Mount terrorists,” by Uzi Baruch, Arutz Sheva, August 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): It has been cleared for publication that Amjad Muhammad Ahmad Jabareen, a […]

Vatican places barriers, police and army vehicles around St. Peter’s Basilica to head off Barcelona-type jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 02:00 pm

“Barriers and police and army vehicles have been placed around St. Peter’s Basilica to make it harder for a vehicle to gather speed in an attack such as the one last week in Barcelona, which killed 13 people.” What? This is unconscionable and Islamophobic! Pope Francis has declared: “Authentic Islam and the proper reading of […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 01:41 pm

“The Palestinian ultimatum states that unless progress is made within 45 dayson launching talks with the Israelis, the Palestinians will consider themselves no longer committed to the US mediation and will turn to an alternative plan to push for unilateral United Nations recognition of a Palestinian state.” They have turned down numerous offers for […]

UK: Muslim migrant murdered man after Home Office repeatedly failed to deport him
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 01:30 pm

Why didn’t the UK Home Office deport him? Maybe to do so would have been “Islamophobic.” The UK Home Office is concerned only with keeping foes of jihad terror out of the country, not jihadis or violent Muslim immigrants. “Illegal immigrant murdered man in Hyde Park after Home Office repeatedly failed to deport him,” Telegraph, […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: What to Ask at Robert Azzi’s “Town Hall”
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Aug 25, 2017 01:09 pm

Robert Azzi has been touring towns in New Hampshire, offering these  “Ask A Muslim-Anything” events to benighted Infidels. If you have a chance, go to one of these shindigs, but go prepared. Even better would be to go with a small group of the like-minded (two or three others), who will ask similar difficult questions […]

Islamic State threatens Pope Francis and the Catholic Church in new video
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 12:37 pm

“Remember this, you kuffar [non-Muslims] – we will be in Rome, we will be in Rome, inshallah [god willing]….After all their efforts, it would be the religion of the cross that would be broken.” Yep, it’s an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ, all right. Remember: Pope Francis has said that the rights of Muslim migrants […]

Pope: “Every foreigner who knocks at our door is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 11:58 am

You’re much more likely to meet Muhammad. Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September […]

Wasserman Schultz’s “Islamophobia” claim leads Marine to go public on Muslim IT staffers
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 11:35 am

“’It pisses me off,’ said Taggart, a black Marine who says he votes Democrat. He believes Wasserman Schultz is crying wolf and devaluing the meaning of genuine discrimination, while also exposing herself and the nation to risks. Yes, that sums it up. “EXCLUSIVE: Wasserman Schultz’ ‘Islamophobia’ Claim Prompts Angered Marine To Go Public On Awans,” […]

UK: Advocate of death penalty for blasphemy to tackle “misconceptions” that lead Muslims to jihad terror
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 10:53 am

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and here we go again. I explain here why Dr. Muhammad Tahir ul-Qadri’s celebrated 300-page fatwa against terrorism does not actually denounce jihad terrorism, and cannot be considered a true reformist document. What’s more, the supposedly moderate Tahir ul-Qadri and his Minhaj ul-Quran organization advocate the death penalty for blasphemy. […]

Myanmar: 71 dead as Muslims mount jihad attacks on police and border outposts
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 10:34 am

Note how this AP report places the blame on the Myanmar government: “The clashes were the worst since an attack by the militants on three border posts last October killed nine policemen, setting off months of brutal counterinsurgency operations by Myanmar security forces against Rohingya communities in Rakhine state. Human rights groups accused the army […]

D. James Kennedy Ministries files defamation lawsuit against Southern Poverty Law Center
By Robert Spencer on Aug 25, 2017 09:12 am

At last, some pushback. For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been defaming not just Christian groups, as this lawsuit correctly states, but also counter-jihad groups and other legitimate and worthy organizations as “hate groups.” This has resulted in the wholesale stigmatization, demonization, and marginalization of these groups, including Jihad Watch, and now, after […]

Netherlands: “Deradicalized” jihadist was spreading jihad messages to young Muslims
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Aug 25, 2017 08:42 am

A believed to be de-radicalized man spread propaganda for the jihad while working with young people in Amsterdam’s radicalization and polarization department Bilal L was hired as a youth worker because he was deemed to “know everything about radicalization and could spot and keep young people off the jihad-road,” but instead, he was preaching the […]
