Deep Thoughts from Tariq Ramadan
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 05:45 pm

Now that Tariq Ramadan has been accused of rape, it is useful to recall just how profound the thinking of this renowned intellectual really is. Hugh just posted some illuminating revelations about Tariq Ramadan’s scholarship and academic appointments, and this article I wrote back in 2012, “Deep Thoughts from Tariq Ramadan,” shows that he needed […]

Tariq Ramadan and Harvey Weinstein: Brothers Under the Skin
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 20, 2017 05:22 pm

Six years ago, I wrote about another scandal starring Tariq Ramadan, the scandal of his Boughten Professorship at Oxford. I think now is the appropriate time to re-post it. The defender of the Muslim Brotherhood, founded by his beloved grandfather, Tariq Ramadan is the sweetly sinister taqiyya tosser and Defender of the Faith, possibly to […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 03:55 pm

Writes Henda Ayari: “I have been silent for several years for fear of reprisals, because by threatening to file a complaint for the rape of which I was a victim, he did not hesitate to threaten me and also tell me that we could ‘take it to my children.’ I was afraid and I kept […]

Philippines: Muslima arrested for recruiting for the Islamic State on social media
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 01:03 pm

“IPAC said she started appearing on Indonesian Telegram groups in August 2015 and aggressively advertised her various accounts on Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp to ISIS sympathisers around the world.” No problem. Facebook, Twitter and the rest only shadowban and choke off the platforms of people who are opposed to jihad terror, not those who are […]

Hamas top dog: We won’t discuss recognizing Israel, only wiping it out
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 11:31 am

This will only have the effect in the West of making the Palestinian Authority look more “moderate” by contrast, but in reality, the Palestinian Authority has never recognized Israel either, contrary to repeated claims, and shares Hamas’ goal of destroying it utterly, which would result in a new genocide of the Jews. “Hamas chief: We […]

What if Linda Sarsour’s husband forbade her to leave the house?
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 11:15 am

“The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home…because of the hadith related by Bayhaqi that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, ‘It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to allow someone into her husband’s house if he is opposed, or to […]

British pols outraged after Trump notes UK crime rise amid spread of “Radical Islamic terror”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 09:27 am

“Donald Trump was today accused of peddling ‘fake news’ and stirring up hate after he wrongly linked the rise in crime in England and Wales to ‘Radical Islamic terror.'” The actual purveyors of fake news, however, are the British MPs who are attacking Trump over this, and claiming he attributed the rise in crime to […]

UK’s “anti-terror watchdog”: “Naive” returning ISIS jihadis should not be prosecuted
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 09:07 am

The consequences of this idiocy could be explosive. These returning jihadis are enemy combatants. They joined an entity that considers itself at war with Britain, and that has called for the murder of British civilians. Would Britain in 1943 have “reintegrated” a group of returning Nazi Britons? “‘Naïve’ young jihadis who return from fighting for […]

Islamic Tajikistan draws up “purge” and “morality” register for gays
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 20, 2017 09:00 am

Tajikistan has drawn up a register of hundreds of allegedly gay citizens and indicated they would be subject to mandatory testing for sexually transmitted infections. As humiliating as this move is for the gay population in the Sunni Islamic nation of Tajikistan, of greater concern is the persecution that threatens to follow this “Purge” and […]

Canada: Muslim not guilty of sexual assault of wife because he thought he could force her to have sex
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 08:39 am

Yes, this is very clear in Islamic law: 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 […]

Hamas-linked CAIR’s Nihad Awad to speak at Harvard
By Robert Spencer on Oct 20, 2017 08:13 am

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its […]
