Afghanistan’s Sikhs: “We are left with two choices: to leave for India or to convert to Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 08, 2018 05:22 pm

Islamic tolerance. The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve […]

Virginia: Convert to Islam who discussed joining the Islamic State gets 20 years for obstruction of justice and child porn
By Robert Spencer on Jul 08, 2018 04:49 pm

Where did Sean Andrew Duncan get the idea to do all these things? Could these ideas have had anything to do with his new, peaceful religion? Could it be from Islam that he got the idea that murdering non-Muslims was a righteous act (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, and 9:5)? And that prepubescent children could be […]

Pakistan elections: Hundreds of candidates backed by jihad terror groups and supporters of blasphemy law
By Robert Spencer on Jul 08, 2018 01:45 pm

Islamic theology tends to reinforce fanaticism, because of the one-on-one correlation in Islam between obedience to Allah and success.

Germany: 10 Muslim migrants repeatedly punch man wearing Star of David while spewing “anti-Semitic insults”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 08, 2018 11:05 am

Danke, Merkel! The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to […]
