By Robert Spencer on Oct 27, 2017 04:15 pm

French journalist Caroline Fourest has published a book-length study of Tariq Ramadan’s sly duplicity, Brother Tariq: The Doublespeak of Tariq Ramadan.

Imam deported from Belgium as “danger to society” now preaching jihad in The Netherlands
By Robert Spencer on Oct 27, 2017 03:04 pm

“A recording of one of Amaouch’s sermons showed an ISIS flag and it is believed that many of his followers are radicalized.” Why is he in The Netherlands at all? Why was he in Belgium?

UK: Vicar bans Onward Christian Soldiers hymn from Remembrance Sunday service in case it offends non-Christians
By Robert Spencer on Oct 27, 2017 11:44 am

Israeli judoka Tal Flicker scaled the top of the podium and received his gold medal on Thursday, but the Israel national anthem was not played and the blue-and-white flag was not raised in Abu Dhabi.
