New York City truck jihadi refuses to stand for federal judge
By Robert Spencer on Jan 25, 2018 01:54 pm

Trump: Money will be cut off to “Palestinians” if leaders don’t engage in peace negotiations
By Robert Spencer on Jan 25, 2018 12:02 pm

At last some common sense in the Oval Office. The peace negotiations are useless and foredoomed, of course, but the point here is that President Trump is holding the “Palestinians” accountable, as no President has ever done before. “We give billions of dollars away every year to countries and in many cases those countries don’t […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Toronto?
By Robert Spencer on Jan 25, 2018 09:32 am

Maybe, but we may never know. My latest at FrontPage: “A 20-year-old Brampton man,” the Canadian Press reported Tuesday, “is facing dozens of charges, including seven counts of attempted murder, in what police describe as a string of unprovoked, random shootings in Toronto that narrowly missed being fatal.” As it turns out, this could have […]

YouTube investing $5 million to “counter hate and promote tolerance”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 25, 2018 09:16 am

Who decides what constitutes “hate speech” and what doesn’t? That is the all-important question that Leftists who call for “hate speech” to be restricted in various ways consistently ignore. The grim reality is that those in power can label any opinion they dislike as “hate speech,” and proscribe it accordingly. That is the pathway to […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 25, 2018 07:19 am

We have seen this all over the country, and in every case, the school officials insist that the school is simply teaching the tenets of Islam, not proselytizing for them. But it is noteworthy that public schools never seem to teach, say, that “Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of the world” without […]
