UK’s Guardian publishes major article on terrorism, omits Israel
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2018 02:15 pm

It’s not surprising that any British paper would be anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, and the Guardian in particular has always been a strong foe of opponents of jihad terror. So this is not surprising, but it is nonetheless a grave omission. Israel faces jihad terrorism on a daily basis. No one can claim to have a […]

Italy: Up to 80,000 women have been subjected to genital mutilation
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2018 12:15 pm

These are 80,000 Muslim migrants in Italy. “It said it was ever more important to inform migrant communities of the health risks of FGM.” Informing Muslim migrants of the health risks of FGM is not going to eradicate the practice. Why not? Because it is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision […]

At Vatican, Erdogan asks Pope to help lead “concerted and continuous international effort to fight Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2018 10:36 am

Pope Francis loves Erdogan: he gave him 50 minutes, not the usual 30 he accords to world leaders. “Erdoğan discussed the plight of the Christians [sic] minorities in the Middle East and promised to mobilize Turkish support to help them in every possible way, just as the Ottomans did in their 600-year history.” In reality, […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2018 10:11 am
