By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 07:20 pm

El Bahnasawy’s jihad mass murder plot was simply part of the global outbreak of mental illness. “Canadian in NYC terror trial met […]

Supreme Court throws out appeals court ruling that struck down Trump’s previous temporary travel ban
By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 12:21 pm

It’s still amazing that acting in the interests of national security would be remotely controversial. There are two choices: keep out some harmless people or let in some harmful people. For years, Democratic and Republican governments have opted for the latter and claimed that to make the other choice was racist, bigoted and “Islamophobic.” Trump […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 12:08 pm

Of course. Islam justifies both. A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460). Another hadith attributes this to Muhammad: “By him in Whose Hand lies […]

Belgium moves to expel “extremist” imam of Saudi-funded Brussels Grand Mosque
By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 11:59 am

Saudi Arabia claims to have fired “thousands” of “extremist” imams
By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 11:39 am

These statements by the oleaginous Adel al-Jubeir raise so many more questions than they answer. Saudi Arabia continues to pose as a foe of jihad terror while remaining one of its principal sponsors, so his words about ending the financing of terrorism ring hollow. Meanwhile, how did thousands of “extremist imams” come to be employed […]

Canada: 21-year-old Muslim man savagely beats 75-year-old woman in “random” assault, “most severe beating I’ve seen”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 11, 2017 10:34 am

“This is not just another assault…This is maybe representing a new, dark side of Windsor that we can’t let propagate.” Indeed. But it is propagating, and will continue to propagate. Justin Trudeau, stand up and take a bow. The Qur’an says “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). Instead, Habibullah Ahmad left Sara […]
