“Slave of Allah” planned to funnel crowds onto SF pier with pipe bombs and shoot them dead in Christmas jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2018 09:50 am

“Assistant federal defender Charles Lee said he hadn’t been presented with the evidence and that his office would investigate the possibility of an entrapment defense.” How absurd.

Iran: Former President Ahmadinejad reportedly arrested for inciting unrest against Islamic regime
By Robert Spencer on Jan 07, 2018 08:08 am

If true, this is ridiculous, an attempt by the Islamic regime to find a fall guy. Ahmadinejad was always a true believer, an Islamic hardliner, whose blood bled for Khomeini and Khamenei. It hasn’t been Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inciting the Iranian people to chant that they don’t want an Islamic Republic and to praise Reza Shah. […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 07, 2018 07:37 am

The antisemitic sentiment already prevalent among French Jews will intensify in the wake of Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel last month.
