Tariq Ramadan: Wicked, Depraved, and Coming to the End of His Rope
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 25, 2018 08:35 pm

This  just in — extry, extry, read all about it — from Al Arabiya, no less, on Tariq Ramadan’s well-deserved calvary: Organizers of a 2009 conference in Lyon, which has become an important sticking point in the rape charges against Swiss Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan, have published evidence [his flight itinerary] that could be damaging […]

UK: Hijabbed Muslima runs secret taxpayer-funded program to “rehabilitate” jihadi brides returning from ISIS
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 03:34 pm

Deradicalization programs, upon which the West has placed so much hope, have long been an obvious failure. In fact, they have never succeeded anywhere, and this one won’t succeed, either. How likely is it that a Muslim woman who clearly believes in Sharia, hence her hijab, will disabuse these women of the Sharia imperative to […]

France foils 2 jihad attacks, closes 3 mosques, Interior Minister says threat will continue “several more years”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 03:02 pm

It is good that French authorities dared to close the mosques. This indicates that, whatever blather their leaders might offer to the public, they really do know that jihad terror has something to do with Islam, and aren’t afraid to acknowledge the presence of jihadist sentiments in mosques. Few other countries in the West have […]

UK: Muslim migrant who vowed in mosque to carry out vehicular jihad massacre and knife rampage is spared jail
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 02:48 pm

He was just “frustrated,” you see, and as a result, Judge Pringle told him, “you began to express to Mr Malik that you had been patient for a long time and started to talk about carrying out a violent attack. Maybe with a knife, maybe with a car that you would drive into a crowd, […]

Abp of Canterbury: Sharia incompatible with UK law, but we must “allow ourselves to change with the newcomers”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 02:31 pm

If we welcome the strangers and allow ourselves to change with them, we will end up accepting Sharia, which Welby just yesterday said was incompatible with British law. The Archbishop of Canterbury is not, apparently, a consistent thinker. “Brexit and a broken Britain: The ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY says the inequality and division in the UK […]

Rome’s Colosseum turned red to protest Pakistan blasphemy law
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 12:28 pm

This is the foolish modern West at its most foolish. No doubt the highest officials in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan are today quaking in fear and drafting legislation to repeal Pakistan’s blasphemy law, because the Colosseum was lit in red. And watch out: if the Pakistanis don’t jump to repeal the blasphemy law, they’ll […]

Iraqi archbishop: “Crisis of violence in Islam must be addressed openly and honestly”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 12:21 pm

It is good that the Archbishop of Erbil was able to say this at Franciscan University, but it is unlikely he will get much of a hearing in other Catholic circles. Pope Francis has essentially dogmatized the falsehood that Islam is a Religion of Peace. This false claim has become a superdogma in the Catholic […]

Somaliland: Muslim clerics issue fatwa making female genital mutilation mandatory
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 12:11 pm

They banned two types of FGM, but made the third mandatory. Why did the Muslim clerics issue this fatwa? Don’t they know what every non-Muslim journalist in the West knows, that FGM is cultural and has nothing to do with Islam? Here it is again, for those who are not paying attention: FGM is mandated […]

Islamic Central Council of Switzerland justifies female genital mutilation
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 09:09 am

There are growing movements in the West that are calling for female genital mutilation to be eradicated. While that is good, they are doomed to failure. Why? Because they refuse to address the Islamic justifications of the practice, and even deny that they exist. FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every […]

Italy: Muslim migrants rape boy at railway station
By Robert Spencer on Feb 25, 2018 08:58 am

Is Italy diverse enough yet? In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but boys like “scattered pearls”: “Those are the ones brought near […]
