“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance,” said Barack Obama. Let’s test his theory.

In his famous outreach speech to the Islamic world from Cairo on June 4, 2009, Barack Obama said: Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition. I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly […]

Facebook blocks Pamela Geller (again) for reporting accurately on Islamic anti-Semitism in Germany
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 06:10 pm

Pamela Geller posted an accurate news story, accompanied by a genuine photo of two niqab-wearing Muslimas carrying a sign saying “God Bless Hitler” — a vivid, and sickening, illustration of Islamic antisemitism. For doing this, she has been blocked from posting at Facebook yet again, in what is just the latest indication of the social […]

“Fact checker” Snopes gets facts wrong again, falsely claims that Maine House didn’t allow female genital mutilation
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 05:36 pm

The news story that Snopes is disputing here did not originate with Jihad Watch, but with Maine State Media, which Snopes claims, without offering any evidence to support its claim, is a “shaky source.” So why do they bring in Jihad Watch at all, since we did not originate the story (we posted it here, […]

“Living time bombs”: Two Islamic State wives return to Germany with their children
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 04:48 pm

“The Federal Supreme Court denied prosecutors’ request for a warrant on the grounds that no concrete evidence could be provided showing the women were in fact supporting terrorism.” The fact that they went to the Islamic State at all should be evidence enough. They were coerced by their husbands, and are themselves as moderate as […]

Nashville: Muslim cop found to be member of Kurdish gang known for selling illegal guns and drugs
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 02:10 pm

Like Mohamed Noor in Minneapolis, Jiyayi Suleyman’s presence on the Nashville police force appears to be a manifestation of the general anxiety to avoid charges of “Islamophobia”: Nashville officials were so anxious to have a Kurdish Muslim police officer that they put Suleyman on the force and kept him there even after he was caught […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Sold-Out Play Depicts Jesus Raping a Muslim Woman
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 12:44 pm

A total inversion of reality. My latest in PJ Media: The hottest new play in the Czech city of Brno is, according to ČTK, called Our Violence and Your Violence, in which Jesus Christ is depicted raping a Muslim woman. While the play’s producers and supporters are congratulating themselves for being so edgy and courageous, […]

Germany: Muslim migrant teens rampage in school, sexually harass schoolgirl
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 12:32 pm

“The five youths, apparently Southerners…” “Southerners” is German establishment media code for “Muslim migrants,” as “Asians” is in the British media. Why does this keep happening? One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Sexual assault occurs […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: In Germany Now, Wearing the Kippah Can Be Dangerous
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Apr 27, 2018 11:51 am

So it has come to this. Jews in Germany now are so worried about assaults by Muslims that some — many — of them are afraid to wear their kippahs in public. The other day, just to test whether attacks on Jews were a problem in Germany — which he initially doubted —  an Israeli […]

UK: Mayor forced to resign for following Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, and Raheem Kassam on social media
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 11:16 am

In the UK as in the US, only one political opinion is acceptable to the political and media elites. They blather on and on about “diversity,” but that just means they want people of many races, ethnicities and religions all saying the same thing. “Small Town Mayor Forced to Quit for Following Kassam, Steyn, Wilders […]

Texas: Muslim migrant couple kept woman as a slave for 16 years, starting when she was five years old
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2018 10:55 am

Why not? Slavery is acceptable in Islam. The Qur’an has Allah telling Muhammad that he has given him girls as sex slaves: “Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50) Muhammad bought slaves: “Jabir (Allah […]

Trump’s UN migration agency pick asks forgiveness for comments deemed “offensive” to Muslims
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 27, 2018 10:43 am

Ken Isaacs once proposed building a wall in the Alps to keep out migrants. Trump wants him to lead the world’s principal migration agency. Some things should go without saying. One of them is that no one would ever leave their front, back, and side doors, and their windows, open to anyone who wishes to […]
