Trump designates Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group, calls for more sanctions
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 06:26 pm

This is absolutely justified. Said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin: “The IRGC has played a central role to Iran becoming the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror. We urge the private sector to recognize that the IRGC permeates much of the Iranian economy, and those who transact with IRGC-controlled companies do so at great risk.” The […]

UK: “Soldier of Allah” threatens to bomb hospital, avoids terrorism charge
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 06:07 pm

Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit mass murder. But authorities in Britain are not interested in that; nor do they think Abdullah Mahmood is a terrorist (whether or not his barber is a terrorist is another matter). “Maureen Fawcett, defending, said: ‘He accepts the postings […]

Graphic video from Egypt: Muslim chases, stabs Coptic bishop to death, authorities claim killer “mentally ill”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 05:37 pm

Yesterday Jihad Watch reported on the murder of Samaan Shehata, but the initial report was light on detail, and had some of the facts wrong. This account is much fuller. Warning: this video is graphic. A persecuted Christian from Egypt sent it to me with the note: “It is heartbreaking, not for the faint hearted.” […]

Trump: Islamic Republic of Iran has “spread death, destruction and chaos all around the globe”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 02:32 pm

The report to which I linked earlier focuses on Trump keeping the Iranian deal that he repeatedly denounced. However, this one says: “Trump promised to fully cancel the deal if Congress and U.S. allies did not allay his concerns about the agreement.” Congress and U.S. allies will not allay his concerns about the agreement. So […]

UK: Muslim migrant rapist blames his rape on “cultural differences” and “not understanding British law”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 02:21 pm

There is good reason for him to have been confused. 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 your wives and your daughters and the women […]

Nigerian Catholic bishop: Western politicians damage African Christianity by “pandering” to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 01:15 pm

Bishop Kukah is correct, but there is another aspect to this as well: the chief Islamopanderer is not a politician. The chief Islamopanderer is Pope Francis. And aside from him, the Catholic Church as a whole has committed itself to Islamopandering, such that it is largely silent about the Muslim persecution of Christians that has […]

Germany sends troops to Jordan despite failing to gain for them immunity from Sharia prosecution
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 12:51 pm

What could possibly go wrong? A few stonings, a few amputations — but hey, it’s for an ally! As always, in Muslim countries, one is expected to conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities, just as in non-Muslim countries, one is expected to conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. In any case, this won’t last long. […]

Trump keeps Iran deal, refuses to certify compliance to Congress
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 12:47 pm

The Trump who said that this was a disastrous deal that should be dismantled was more correct than this McMastered Trump. Get the full, horrifying details of exactly how bad this deal is, and of Iran’s global jihad adventurism, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. “Trump Keeps Iran Deal, Refuses to Certify […]

Texas: Muslim parents lie to FBI about sons joining ISIS, get probation and $5,000 fine
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 09:45 am

Imagine it were 1943 and the parents of two young men who went to Germany to join the Nazis lied to the FBI about it. Would those parents get off with probation and a token fine? “Parents who lied to the FBI about their sons joining ISIS get probation and $5,000 fine after pleading guilty […]

Malaysia: Muslim cleric active in deradicalization program promotes hatred of non-Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2017 09:36 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, […]
