By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 09:15 pm

Gratitude. And remember: if you oppose mass Muslim migration, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Syrian Medical Student Was Training 7-year-old Boy as Islamic State Fighter,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 22, 2018: A 30-year-old Syrian medical student living in Germany and currently on trial for a plot targetting a Berlin synagogue has been accused of trying […]

By William Kilpatrick on Feb 22, 2018 08:44 pm

An Open Letter to Bishop Joseph Bambera, Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee for Interreligious Affairs Your Excellency, You are to be commended for your December 29th statement asking Catholics to pray for “our Coptic brethren who are enduring martyrdom for the sake of Christ.” Catholics need to know the extent of the attacks on Christians […]

Does Islam get special treatment in Eastern Iowa schools?
By Stephen M. Kirby on Feb 22, 2018 08:23 pm

These are interesting times in the Heartland. On February 13, 2018, a meeting of the Board of the Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD) took place. As was later reported in the Iowa City Press Citizen: [i] Activism by some particularly young activists might shake up ICCSD’s school calendar to accommodate for more religious holidays. […]

UK: Muslim migrant and his wife get prison dawah for plotting jihad massacre
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 08:02 pm

“Munir Mohammed, from Derby, was handed a life sentence, with a minimum of 14 years. Pharmacist Rowaida El-Hassan has been jailed for 12 years.” So they’ll both be out in just a few years, and what then? Will they have given up jihad and become solid, loyal, productive Britons? No. Nothing whatsoever is done in […]

Malaysia: Publisher on trial for publishing Irshad Manji book that says “God is love,” which is “un-Islamic”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 12:34 pm

Wait a minute. Isn’t Malaysia supposed to be “moderate”? And isn’t Irshad Manji a leading “moderate” Muslim writer? Irshad Manji has not been much heard from in recent years, but about ten or twelve years ago she was the Moderate Muslim Du Jour (a position since occupied by luminaries including Zuhdi Jasser and Maajid Nawaz), […]

Video: Niqabi mother with hijabi toddler
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 11:56 am

‼ Terrible, if already an infant has to live under the burden of hijab. pic.twitter.com/hm2GqMZ778 — Onlinemagazin (@OnlineMagazin) February 22, 2018 What a cute little girl, right? Only greasy Islamophobes could look at this video and not find it heartwarming, right? Well, consider this: the whole idea of the hijab (and niqab) is that it […]

Neo-Ottoman jihad aggression: Turkish coast guard vessel rams Greek patrol boat
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 11:48 am

Erdogan recently said: “We say at every opportunity we have that Syria, Iraq and other places in the geography [map] in our hearts are no different from our own homeland. We are struggling so that a foreign flag will not be waved anywhere where adhan [Islamic call to prayer in mosques] is recited.” That includes […]

Swedish Security Service: Number of jihadis has gone from hundreds to thousands in just a few years
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 11:27 am

“The number of people in so-called extremist environments is growing, and the figure has gone from hundreds to thousands in just a few years, according to Säpo.” Why is that? Because of the immigration policies that the Swedish government is pursuing indefatigably, even at the expense of the safety and security of Swedish citizens. Will […]

Egypt: Muslim TV host hands out chocolates to celebrate downing of Israeli F-16
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 10:39 am

We have many times seen the “Palestinians” celebrate the murder of Israeli civilians by passing out candies, and this is in the same vein. A culture of violence produces people who celebrate and glory in violence. “Israel was, remains, and forever will be the No. 1 enemy of Egypt and the Arab world, regardless of […]

Oregon: Julia Shumway of the Bend Bulletin invokes Hamas-linked CAIR and SPLC to defame counterterror speaker
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 10:01 am

It’s the same thing every time: if someone who speaks the truth about the nature and magnitude of the global jihad, including John Guandolo and me, is invited to speak anywhere off the conservative reservation, there are protests, defamatory “news” articles, and calls for us to be canceled. There is no engagement with or refutation […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Feb 22, 2018 09:15 am

Two Birmingham MPs have endorsed a council candidate who claimed ISIS doesn’t exist. Labour candidate Safia Noor not only claimed that the Islamic State did not exist, but she displayed an insensitive hostility toward victims in her overt attempt to excuse jihad murder and crimes against humanity. Safia Noor “told her followers to relax and even […]

Video: Muslims burn piles of diapers because cartoon cat’s whiskers resemble Arabic for Muhammad
By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2018 08:28 am

As we have seen with “Allah,” the style of Arabic characters make it possible to see words anywhere, and insults to Islam as well, if you’re inclined to be outraged all the time. This ridiculous story, which doesn’t seem to be a hoax or parody, shows that Muslims in India don’t have much of anything […]
