Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley featured speaker at Hamas-linked CAIR’s Chicago “Resistance” Banquet
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 06:17 pm

“Resistance” is just more of what Hamas-linked CAIR is best at: victimhood posturing. The idea that Muslims are facing large-scale persecution and harassment in Trump’s America is hysterical posturing designed to gain special accommodation. It pays to be a victim in America today, and CAIR plays the part to the hilt. The banquet was Saturday […]

Israeli Border Police stop two knife-carrying “Palestinians” in two days
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 12:30 pm

Israel faces daily jihad attacks and/or attempted jihad attacks. No one can claim to have a comprehensive understanding of the jihad terror threat, and no one can claim to oppose it, without supporting Israel. The ideology and belief system of those who constantly preach and celebrate the murder of Israelis is exactly the same as […]

Finland: Police confirm that Muslim migrant who carried out 2017 attack was an Islamic State supporter
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 11:50 am

“Initially, many speculated that the motivation for the attack had to do with the fact that Bouanane had his asylum application rejected.” That would have placed the responsibility upon those who rejected him: see, if we just placate the poor dears and give them what they want, all will be well. But no, it turned […]

Australia: Family of Muslima stabber say they’re “shocked”: “She’s a brilliant student”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 09:40 am

“Ms Shoma has been charged with one count of engaging in a terrorist act, with police alleging she was ‘self-radicalised.'” How do police know that? Because the family says they’re shocked?

Erdogan: Turkish Republic is continuation of Ottomans
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 09:08 am

This is a significant statement since, unless you count the Islamic State, the Ottoman Empire was the last caliphate — the last state to claim the allegiance of all Muslims worldwide, and to present itself as the government to which all Muslims owed allegiance. But Kemal Ataturk, the founder of secular Turkey, would have disagreed […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 04:30 am

If you bring in large numbers of people from a culture that celebrates and rewards violence, whose holy book thrice repeats “Kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5), you’re going to get incidents of this kind. “Arabs are charged with the attack on Skärholmen Health Care Center,” translated from “Araber begärs häktade […]

Video from Indonesia: Muslims attack church with machetes, injure priest and several churchgoers, behead statues
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2018 03:52 am

Pope Francis is doubtless on his way to Yogyakarta now, to explain to these Muslims that, as he has written, “authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Koran reject every form of violence.” They just misunderstand their own religion, you see.
