Ramadan Day 5 thought for the day from Robert Spencer’s The History of Jihad
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 04:15 pm

Today’s holy month inspiration comes from the time of the Crusades. In 1268, as I recount in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, when the jihad forces of the Mamluk sultan Baybars took Antioch from the Crusaders, Baybars was annoyed to find that the Crusader ruler, Count Bohemond VI, had […]

France: Hooded gunmen open fire with Kalashnikovs in Marseille
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 03:36 pm

Ramadan in Marseille? Possibly, and possibly not. But if it is jihad, we cannot be sure that French authorities will be forthcoming about that. Like authorities all over Europe, they appear intent upon covering up the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. “Marseille shooting: Hooded men open fire with Kalashnikovs,” by Nicole Stinson, Express, […]

FBI: 1,000 homegrown jihad terror investigations active in US, not counting Islamic State and al-Qaeda suspects
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 03:00 pm

“Outreach to the community.” Yeah, that’ll work. Hasn’t it worked beautifully since 9/11? Meanwhile, hampering these investigations is the fact that even now, the clueless and compromised FBI includes no study of the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists in its counterterror training. It is working in the dark, and the consequences will inevitably be…explosive. “FBI […]

Video from Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Christians who try to retake their homes that Muslims seized
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 02:50 pm

The global “human rights community” will take little notice. After all, it isn’t as if something important, such as “Islamophobia,” had been committed. “In Punjab, Christians who tried to retake their homes grabbed by Muslims suffer gunshot wounds (video),” by Kamran Chaudhry, Asia News, May 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Lahore (AsiaNews) […]

By Stephen M. Kirby on May 21, 2018 01:30 pm

The first event was the shooting of two United States Army privates by a Muslim convert outside the recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas; one private was killed and the other was wounded. The second event was the start of the multi-day silence […]

Speakers’ Corner – Islam’s Fiercest Critics
By Joshua Winston on May 21, 2018 01:21 pm

When speaking out against Islam at Speakers’ Corner, one immediately finds oneself surrounded by Muslims in a circle formation. It’s akin to red Indians circling a cowboy wagon. It is intimidation tactics, and it ensures that there will be no escape for anyone who crosses the line. With this in mind, I’d like to pay […]

Arizona: School apologizes for yearbook in which Muslim student said he was “most likely to bomb the U.S.”
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 01:00 pm

“In this case, school officials said there was no vote. Students filled in the blanks themselves, hence the 8th grader himself wrote in the words ‘most likely to bomb the U.S.'” In that case, why did the school issue an apology to parents? The school didn’t add this tag to the 8th grader’s photo in […]

Erdogan in Bosnia: “Are you ready to demonstrate strength of European Turks? Are you ready to give an Ottoman slap?”
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 12:30 pm

“Are you ready to demonstrate to the whole world the strength of European Turks? Are you ready to give the terrorist organisations and their local and foreign henchmen an Ottoman slap?” Of course, by “terrorist organizations” Erdogan means the Kurds and others whom the Turks are targeting. But what does he mean by “an Ottoman […]

Saudi Arabia detains activists who pushed to end ban on women driving
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 11:30 am

This one goes out to all you MBS fans who thought that the Crown Prince was finally ushering in the dawn of “moderate Islam” in Saudi Arabia. In reality, he is overseeing reforms to a certain extent, as he wants to attract foreign investment and secure President Trump’s support against the Islamic Republic of Iran. […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Leftist Privilege: Poisoned in Iceland A Year Ago, No One Arrested
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 10:00 am

Unless you’re a Leftist, you’ll get no justice in Iceland. My latest in FrontPage: Just over a year ago, a young Icelandic Leftist poisoned me in Reykjavik after I gave a lecture on the jihad threat. In the hospital thereafter, a Leftist doctor neglected to perform basic tests on me, such that I could have […]

Sweden: Man faces “hate speech” charges for satirizing Sharia punishments
By Robert Spencer on May 21, 2018 07:15 am

“Hate speech” is not an objectively identifiable category. Any criticism of anyone or anything could be characterized as inciting hatred against the object of the criticism. The “hate speech” classification, as I have often pointed out, is simply a tool of the powerful to silence the powerless. These satirical children’s book covers focus upon matters […]
