By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 12:03 pm

In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I recount what happened when Saladin’s forces defeated the Crusaders at Hattin on July 4, 1187. Saladin ordered the mass execution of his Christian opponents. According to his secretary, Imad ed-Din, Saladin “ordered that they should be beheaded, choosing to have them dead […]

Independence Day: Why We Fight
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 11:55 am

Another Independence Day is upon us. Each one presents to us a challenge: will we also fight for freedom and independence, or give them up? The struggle for freedom has not changed, and will never change. It is the eternal struggle over whether human beings will live free, or willingly submit to slavery. All over […]

DOJ agrees not to prosecute Muslim IT staffer for House cybersecurity and theft
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 11:52 am

Raising more questions than answers. “In September 2016, the House Office of Inspector General gave House leaders a presentation that alleged that Alvi, Imran, brothers Abid Awan and Jamal Awan, and a friend were logging into the servers of members who had previously fired him and funneling data off the network. It said evidence ‘suggests […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 11:42 am

Great idea. “Syrian Government Appeals for Refugees to Return, Help Rebuild Country,” Associated Press, July 4, 2018: BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government on Tuesday called on refugees to return, saying it has successfully cleared large areas of “terrorists.” The rare appeal reflects the government’s growing confidence after more than seven years of war. While […]

UK: Imam jailed for 109 violent attacks on children in Qur’an class
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 11:37 am

The Times calls Abdul Rauf’s violence “Dickensian,” but it is much more likely to emerge from the culture of violence created by the Qur’an and Sunnah. The holy book that commands adherents to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5) and calls for disobedient women to be beaten (4:34) can easily create […]

UK: Labour MP Neil Coyle: London Bridge and Borough market jihad mass murderers were “not Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 11:14 am

This willful ignorance and wishful thinking is not Neil Coyle’s alone; it is dominant among the British political and media elites. But it is based on no evidence whatsoever. The jihadis certainly believe that they are Muslims, and justify their actions by reference to Islamic texts and teachings. Take, for example, the Islamic State (ISIS). […]

Muslim NYPD officer smashes his car into another car, punches Jew in the face
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 10:54 am

The New York Post story is here; it spells the perpetrator’s name “Ahmed” and doesn’t identify the victim as Jewish. In any case, this may simply be a case of drunk driving and loss of temper. But this police officer’s punch may also have been informed by Islam’s deeply rooted hatred of Jews. The Qur’an […]

Cop asked Muslim if he was entering UK for jihad, he answered, “Jihad is what we do,” was still admitted to country
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 10:18 am

Leftists and Islamic apologists sometimes throw up to me the fact that I am banned from entering the UK, as if it were proof that I am some sort of “extremist.” In reality, the UK has a steadily lengthening record of admitting jihadis, while banning foes of jihad terror. Here is just the latest example: […]

Video: Hungary’s foreign minister chides “unbalanced, one-sided” BBC anchor for pro-EU, pro-migration rant
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 09:52 am

Emily Maitlis’ disgraceful performance here is just one manifestation of the indefatigable determination of the political and media elites to destroy the very concept of the nation state, as well as the concept of ethnicity, in their pursuit of a utopian vision of a socialist internationalist global order that will obviate the need for wars, […]

Germany: Muslim migrant who murdered 14-year-old girl also raped 11-year-old girl at refugee home
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 09:41 am

Why does this keep happening? Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. 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. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully […]

Germany: “Confused” Muslim migrant stabs airport security man in the back
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 09:31 am

Was he “confused” about the Islamic requirement to wage jihad against Infidels (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 8:39, 9:5, 9:29, 9:73, 9:123, 47:4, etc.)? “Knife stuck in the head: The culprit at Düsseldorf Airport is said to be a bottle collector,” translated from “Messer in den Kopf gestochen: Täter vom Düsseldorfer Airport soll Flaschensammler sein,” by […]

Polish lawmaker: “We will not receive even one Muslim…this is why Poland is so safe”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 04, 2018 07:47 am

“There are a billion people in Africa. In the European Union, we have what, 500 million? How many Africans can we take? Don’t misunderstand me, we want to help the people who are suffering, but we need to help them where they are, at home. It’s not about being racist, nationalist — it’s about adopting […]
