U.S. confirms authenticity of Iran nuclear docs, officials see game over for deal
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2018 11:19 pm

“If there was ever any doubt, every struggling Iranian citizen must now realize that Iran has lost countless dollars from nuclear sanctions for one reason, and one reason alone: the Iranian regime’s reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons, weapons that Supreme Leader Khamenei personally insists are un-Islamic.” He never actually insisted any such thing, as I […]

Khaled Abou El Fadl, Omar and Azmeralda Alfi Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Apr 30, 2018 07:01 pm

Some time after my article on Khaled About El Fadl appeared in 2005, with its many links to his then-website www.scholarofthehouse.com, he apparently relinquished that domain name, and instead bought another. Now, if you click on www.scholarofthehouse.org (not .com), you will arrive at his  current website: www.searchforbeauty.org. That website  is awe-inspiring, in the sense that […]

Chechen top dog says he won’t legalize polygamy, but “for Muslims, Allah gives permission to have four wives”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2018 10:43 am

Kadyrov is right: “Marry those that please you of women, two or three or four…” (Qur’an 4:3) So he is saying that Muslim men in Chechnya can flout Russian law, and there will be no problem.

Muslim migrant lived illegally in UK, aspired to plot jihad massacre, aided Islamic State communications

By Robert Spencer on Apr 30, 2018 08:35 am

We are much more enlightened in the West. We don’t jail people for insulting Islam. We simply excoriate them as “racists” and “Islamophobes,” and ostracize them from polite society. We are much more advanced in the West. “Indonesian man jailed for Facebook post allegedly insulting Islam,” Ary News, April 30, 2018: JAKARTA: An Indonesian was […]
