UK: Convert to Islam pleads guilty to jihad terror plotting, had “Mujahideen Poisons Handbook”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 05:30 pm

Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new, peaceful religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder. There is a steady stream of such converts, but authorities persist in their adamant lack of curiosity about this phenomenon. One wonders if they would be this blandly indifferent if there were a steady […]

Pakistan: Student charges principal with “blasphemy,” guns him down
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 04:16 pm

We are much more enlightened in the West. We believe in the freedom of speech. Those who are accused of blasphemy aren’t gunned down in cold blood (although they certainly tried to get us in Garland, Texas on May 3, 2015). They’re just smeared as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people. Note […]

Trump administration pledges $55 million for religious and ethnic groups persecuted by the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 02:59 pm

“The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced last week that the government will provide $75 million to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for aid to Iraq, including the $55 million earmarked for communities of Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities.” The global “human rights community” has turned its back on these […]

London borough with highest percentage of Muslims in UK votes to ban Trump from entering
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 02:23 pm

I’m sure President Trump is deeply disappointed in not being able to enter Tower Hamlets. But this ridiculous exercise in virtue-signaling, even though it has not (yet) been taken up by the Home Office, only highlights Britain’s hypocrisy and double standards regarding who can enter the country and who cannot. Pamela Geller and I are […]

UK school reverses hijab ban for small children after “Islamophobia” accusations
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 01:15 pm

Yes, the only reason why anyone would oppose the hijab is because of “Islamophobia,” right? Well, there is the underlying reasoning behind it. The idea is that it is entirely the woman’s responsibility to prevent men from being tempted. She must cover herself in order to forestall that temptation. So putting a hijab on a […]

Thailand: Muslims murder three and wound 22 with jihad bomb at pork stall
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 12:12 pm

Eating pork: a sin against Allah. Murdering those who sell pork: pleasing to Allah. Note Reuters’ subtle endorsement of this jihad violence, in terming it part of “resistance to Buddhist rule.” The operators of a pork stall in Yala are not oppressing Muslims, and murdering them is not “resistance” to anything, it is just obedience […]

UK: Police drop investigation of Muslim for grooming girl for rape gang because he blamed his nonexistent cousin
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 11:02 am

“I don’t think the police made a sufficient effort to attempt and trace this cousin, if there even is a cousin.” Yes, but not to have taken this man at his word would have been “Islamophobic.” “Taxi driver accused of grooming girl won’t face action after blaming cousin who was never found,” by Ian Johnson, […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 09:59 am

My latest over at the Geller Report: Recently Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, was asked by a former police officer why there had not yet been a single conviction for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the entire United Kingdom, despite there having been tens of thousands of cases […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Which Migrants?
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 22, 2018 08:55 am

Apologists for the millions of Muslim migrants that have been allowed into Western Europe paint these hordes as the indispensable response to the felt need for more workers. The president of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, recently told the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle that Europe “will clearly need immigration in the coming decades.” He further […]

Germany: City forces Muslim migrant to leave town after he pulls knife on local couple
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 07:40 am

“They say he has been a repeat offender since moving to the area….’The integration of the adolescent is said to have failed.’” So telling him to leave town is just kicking the problem down the road. Where are this violent young man and his father going to go now? Sooner or later Germany, and Europe, […]

Muslim migrant flees to Sweden with new ID after being accused of sexually abusing four-year-old girl in Germany
By Robert Spencer on Jan 22, 2018 05:33 am

“Officers noted how tall he was, the fact that he had the beginnings of a moustache and seriously doubted his claim to be just 13 at the time of the alleged abuse of the girl. At 13 he was under the age of legal responsibility but prosecutor Corinna Gögge rejected a plea from Emily’s father […]
