As Jihad Watch noted in September, the German supermarket chain Lidl recently did this also. Europe is voluntarily divesting itself of its own culture and identity, so as not to appear “Islamophobic” before the Muslim newcomers. But of course, there will be no vacuum. Europe will have a new culture and identity, one that derives […]

Nigerian Christian: “Why do they think Islam is a religion of peace? These people have been killing us for decades.”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 05:36 pm

“Why do they think Islam is a religion of peace? These people have been killing us for decades and your media just ignores it. Now they are killing you and still your President Obama called it a peaceful religion. We see Western leaders saying that over and over again. Why?” Good question. And it’s true: […]

Muslim spokesman Qasim Rashid claims Islam can “help us prevent more sexual abuse scandals”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 12:54 pm

Ahmadi spokesman Qasim Rashid is a professional liar, a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy. He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s […]

New York City: Muslim surgeon in jihad plot says “it would be a great pleasure if we could slaughter” city’s Jews
By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 12:03 pm

The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to […]

The Islamic State continues to insist that it was behind the Las Vegas attack, apparently heedless of the possibility that it might lose credibility among its own followers. However, they still haven’t presented any evidence to back up their claims. “Jihadist Observes Las Vegas Attack as ‘Cultural Penetration’ by IS, Gives Short Story ‘Inspired’ by […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 08:53 am

Well then, by all means, we must not provoke the poor dears. Everyone knows that, right? If we just refrain from doing things that provoke Muslims and poke them in the eye, everything will be all right, no? Isn’t that why virtually the entire Western establishment media avoided reprinting the Muhammad cartoons that Muslims used […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 08:05 am

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Janet Jackson ‘Felt Like a Prisoner’ in Marriage to Muslim
By Robert Spencer on Oct 15, 2017 07:55 am

Islamic teachings command such a relationship. My latest in PJ Media: Janet Jackson’s now-estranged Muslim husband Wissam Al Mana, according to insiders, “swept in at just the right time” when they first met in 2010, and Jackson was at a low point in her life. Al-Mana “bailed her out and whisked her away to the […]
