US vetoes UN resolution that would have required Trump to rescind recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 01:24 pm

More winning. I’m not tired of winning yet, however. Now it’s time to get out of the United Nations altogether, and send it packing from the United States. “The Latest: US vetoes UN resolution on Jerusalem,” Associated Press, December 18, 2017: The United States has vetoed a U.N. resolution that would have required President Donald […]

Winning: Trump national security strategy restores reference to ‘jihadist’ terror threat
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 11:30 am

“The primary transnational threats Americans face are from jihadist terrorists and transnational criminal organizations.” At last, reality begins to return to the U.S.’s counterterror strategy, after its removal in 2011, which I detail at length in my book Arab Winter Comes to America. Obama, at the behest of Muslim groups linked to Hamas and the […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Daniel Altman — “This Is How Every Genocide Begins”
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 18, 2017 09:09 am

Mr. Altman paints a picture of non-Muslims being carefully primed, through a campaign of falsehoods, to be ready to treat Muslims as Jews were once treated by the Nazis. Here is his scarcely-believable, hysterical warning: Social scientists agree that attacks on an entire class of people — whether identified by their race, religion, education, or […]

Hizballah top dog Nasrallah: “Death to America! Death to Israel!,” Trump’s move beginning of the end for Israel
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 08:52 am

Nasrallah mixed his incitement to jihad violence with some conspiracy paranoia, claiming that “America created ISIS and the takfiri groups.” “Takfir” is the act of declaring some other group non-Muslim, such that they can lawfully be killed. Sunni jihad groups such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda are often called takfiris by other Muslims — […]

Sweden: Malmö police retract “unfortunate” advice warning women not to go out alone after dark
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 08:34 am

Unfortunate advice indeed, coming from police in heavily Muslim Malmö: it was a tacit acknowledgment that the police were capitulating to predatory Muslim rape gangs, and unable to stop them from attacking and raping Swedish women. Now they have retracted the statement under pressure, but it remains to be seen whether or not they will […]

60 Minutes claims 74% of “extremist-related killings” in US in last 10 years by “right-wing extremists,” not jihadis
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 07:07 am

This is a completely false statistic, designed to foster ignorance and complacency about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. And the establishment media repeats it, or variations of it, relentlessly. Here is why it is false: 1. It misleads immediately by covering only the last ten years. Why that period? What changed between […]

Linda Sarsour dismissed employee’s claims of sexual assault because accused man was “good Muslim”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2017 06:18 am

Asmi Fathelbab’s accusations at the Arab American Association played out in full accord with Sharia. In cases of sexual misbehavior (zina), only men can testify. Women can’t testify at all, even in cases in which they were involved, and four male witnesses are required (Reliance of the Traveller, o24.9). These witnesses must have seen the […]
