On this Armistice Day, let us remember those who have sacrificed to ensure our freedom
By Robert Spencer on Nov 11, 2017 03:51 pm

Veterans’ Day is November 11 because on November 11, 1918, the Armistice between the Allies and the Central Powers took effect. World War I had been more peculiar, unnecessary and pointless than most wars, but from it comes many lingering features of the American and international political landscape: the messianic idea of “making the world […]

Bangladesh: Muslims burn, loot vandalize Hindu houses over rumor that Hindu criticized Muhammad on Facebook
By Robert Spencer on Nov 11, 2017 03:19 pm

“The rumour was that one Titu Roy, originally from Thakurbari village but currently living in Narayanganj, put up a Facebook post defaming Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) a few days ago.” This maddened Muslim mob needn’t have bothered. All they needed to do was appeal to Facebook, and the offending post, if it actually existed, would have […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Muslim Placenames, “Seeds of Divisiveness” in the Qur’an, and the American Constitution
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Nov 11, 2017 12:32 pm

Finally, there is the argument, from toponyms, of a Muslim presence in America before there was a United States. Here John Hamed, Jr. descends into the absurd: “Islam was here even before there was a U.S.A. There are more than 500 places in the U.S. today with clearly Islamic names: Mecca, Indiana; Medina in New […]

Indonesia: Museum official says wax Hitler “is one of the favorite for our visitors to take selfies with”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 11, 2017 12:11 pm

This is “moderate” Indonesia, but they read the same Qur’an as other Muslims do, and 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; […]

UK: Muslim Labour candidate says teachers “brainwashing us and our children into thinking the bad guy was Hitler”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 11, 2017 11:38 am

Surprised? Don’t be. 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 […]

Canada: Muslim leaders enraged that police reported Muslim father abusing his daughter as “honour-based violence”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Nov 11, 2017 10:25 am

Survivors of gender-based violence need to be believed and supported. They also need society to describe the harm they experience with appropriate language. Yet time and again, violence against Muslim women is framed as “honour-based,” further stigmatizing victims and the wider communities to which they belong….It’s time for this to stop. Do people actually still […]

Pat Condell: “Robert Spencer is an Islamic scholar. He knows the Qur’an better than most imams.”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 11, 2017 10:17 am

Watch Pat Condell’s latest video here. YouTube has taken down the original audio with over half a million views, but you can still listen to me and a UK-based imam discuss the Qur’an here. Is Condell right about me when he said in an earlier video that “Robert Spencer is an Islamic scholar. He knows […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Nov 11, 2017 09:43 am

Pakistani Muslims in Birmingham have told ITV News their community is not to blame for the child sex grooming epidemic, saying the crimes are caused by conditions in British society. What conditions? That UK girls and women are not covered as per the dictates of Islamic doctrine? (Quran 24:31, Quran 33:59) The victims were referred […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Nov 11, 2017 09:03 am

Earlier in the week, it was Saudi Arabia that announced that Lebanon declared war on Saudi Arabia. Now, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah is accusing Saudi Arabia of declaring war on Lebanon. Who is to be believed? It has long been the case that the two primary jihad-funding states of Iran (Shia) and Saudi Arabia (Sunni) […]
