UK: Social worker laughed when 13-year-old girl told her she was being sold to Muslims for sex
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 08:49 pm

“Asian” is British media newspeak for “Muslim.” Why did the social worker laugh? Maybe because she had heard of so many such cases, and knew that British authorities were too paralyzed by fear of being accused of “racism” to “Islamophobia” to do anything about them. Britain has sacrificed its young girls to the chimera of […]

Nigeria: Muslims release kidnapped Muslim schoolgirls, keep captive Christian girl who refused to convert
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 08:19 pm

Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). Liya Sharibu refused to convert to Islam, and so […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 07:23 pm

The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them […]

McMaster out, Bolton in
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 06:54 pm

This was long overdue. McMaster held to the Obama view that Islamic jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and that we mustn’t offend Muslims by noting the obvious fact that there are numerous Islamic texts and teachings that exhort Muslims to wage war against unbelievers. You cannot defeat an enemy that you don’t […]

AFDI lawsuit: “Speech may not be banned on the ground that it expresses ideas that offend”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 06:45 pm

One of the reasons why we have such a cult of victimhood in today’s society is because being offended is currency. It buys things for you. But only for some people. If conservatives are offended, it matters not a whit. But if Muslims are offended, everyone jumps to mollify them, in part to stave off […]

Parents of Muslim who plotted jihad massacre in NYC ask for mercy for him as he scrawls “kill kuffar” on cell wall
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 03:24 pm

The CBC News story below makes it sound as if Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy is mentally ill and very, very sorry for what he was plotting. This story, however, gives a different impression: “Canadian who plotted terror attacks deserves life in prison: U.S. prosecutors,” by Peter Goffin, Canadian Press, March 12, 2018 2:53 pm EDT American […]

Haaretz claims that Somali Muslims in Europe turn to jihad because Europeans are racist
By Robert Spencer on Mar 22, 2018 10:49 am

“In negotiating these binary divides, Somalis are not alone. Radicalization is a phenomenon that has affected all Muslim communities. Key triggers include marginalization, stigmatization, lack of integration and poor school performance, and the pervasiveness of internet radicalization, especially propaganda videos on Facebook and YouTube.” In Somalia, al-Shabaab and other jihad groups are quite active. Are […]

Charlotte: Muslim convicted for jihad recruitment on America soil, a “threat we face daily,” says agent
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Mar 22, 2018 10:22 am

Had the article below read: “Charlotte man convicted of trying to recruit backers for white supremacist war on US soil,” it would be the headline of every major newspaper. But it is about jihad terror, the biggest threat to free nations today, and so it is not given due attention, despite the alarming news that […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Mar 22, 2018 10:05 am

Dumfries and Galloway councillor Jim Dempster made an off-colour remark: In a meeting with Transport Scotland officials, the councilor said if Mr Yousaf had visited the region, “no-one would have seen him under his burka”. Dempster has been suspended from the Labour Party “pending an investigation into his comment.” Dempster’s remark was insensitive and inappropriate. […]

Canada’s “feminist” Trudeau continues to court Iran despite its oppression of women
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Mar 22, 2018 09:48 am

Trudeau is an avowed feminist and human rights defender, but where are his words of support for the courageous Iranian women who are being arrested in Tehran for removing their hijabs? Herein lies a mammoth problem with Justin Trudeau: his claims to support women’s rights while being a supporter of Islamic supremacist interests. The Iranian […]
