Chinese police order Xinjiang’s Muslims to hand in all copies of the Qur’an
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 06:17 pm

I’m not in favor of banning books. Thought control and thought police are hallmarks of totalitarian regimes, and we’re getting perilously close to living under that boot on the face in the West. The Chinese authorities, like all totalitarians, are going to discover that they cannot entirely suppress thoughts through force. That said, this is […]

Woman who demanded dogs be removed from airplane is Muslim former professor of Islamic Studies
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 05:39 pm

Might this incident have had something to do with the fact that Islam hates dogs? “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50 “Abdullah (b. […]

UK: Devout Muslim father once jailed for raping schoolgirl beats his daughter and her boyfriend with hammer
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 02:50 pm

Soruth Ali is the product of a culture of violence that mandates the beating of disobedient women (cf. Qur’an 4:34), forbids non-Muslim men to marry Muslim women, and tells Muslim men that they can seize non-Muslim women and use them sexually (cf. Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, and 70:30). So it is no surprise that […]

Canada: Mosque operating inside an Anglican church
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 11:37 am

“They’re effectively operating as a church within a church.” No, they’re operating a mosque within a church. A mosque is not the same thing as a church. In a mosque, those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God are said to be cursed by Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:30), and the obligation is preached […]

Norway’s Immigration Minister: Norwegians are “experiencing now the fear that Israelis have experienced for decades”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 10:40 am

“We see what is happening in Sweden, in Britain, and in France. We are experiencing now the fear that you have experienced for decades.” The same fear, emanating from the same cause. Israel is on the front lines of the global jihad. Anyone who understands the nature, magnitude, and goal of that jihad will stand […]

Pakistan: Muslims threaten to murder husband and family of woman who left Islam for Christianity
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 10:18 am

The convert herself is also likely to be killed if she is found. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: “They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause […]

UK video: Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” and play the sound of explosions at full volume outside church
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 07:03 am

The two most important details in this story are these: 1. “I was alarmed at first but you come to expect things like that, it’s become common place [sic] in east London.” Commonplace in east London. And just imagine what east London will be like in five years, or ten. 2. “The Met Police said […]

Australia: Multi-million-dollar taxpayer-funded “deradicalization” helpline “failing to gain traction”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2017 06:39 am

Deradicalization programs, upon which the West has placed so much hope, have long been an obvious failure. Such programs are based on the premise that the true teachings of Islam are peaceful, and so all that needs to be done is show the jihadis how they’re misunderstanding the Qur’an and overlooking its teachings of peace, […]
