AFP: “Taliban defeated by the quiet strength of Pakistan’s Buddha”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 12:59 pm

That will come as news to the Taliban. What happened to the people who carved this statue? Why doesn’t Pakistan have a large Buddhist community, and why is its Hindu community rapidly diminishing in size? Find out in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the first history of jihad published […]

Black Slaves, Muslim Masters
By Charles Jacobs on Jul 16, 2018 12:11 pm

Arabs and Muslims have black slaves today and hardly anyone, especially the leftist class which preens about its devotion to human rights, is screaming about this. In five African nations — Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Sudan — blacks serve Arab/Muslim masters. They are bought and sold like furniture. They are worked until they drop, tortured, raped, forcibly converted to Islam, and […]

Socialist Congressional candidate condemns Israeli “occupation” yet admits she is “not the expert on this issue”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 12:02 pm

All she can offer is a melange of half-digested Leftist propaganda and talking points. And that will likely be enough to get her elected. “Ocasio-Cortez Defends Comments Accusing Israeli Military of Palestinian ‘Massacre,’” by Paul Crookston, Washington Free Beacon, July 16, 2018: Upstart Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Friday defended her recent comments describing […]

Video: Trump says US and Russia will maintain open communication to fight “radical Islamic terrorism”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 11:41 am

The video of the actual press conference begins at around -28.26. For years I have called for a reconfiguration of our international alliances to create a coalition of non-Muslim states defending themselves against the global jihad. The Left, which has suddenly discovered a threat from Russia decades after the end of the Cold War, may […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Steven Brill’s NewsGuard and the “Fact-Checking” Scam
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 11:23 am

Who watches the watchmen? My latest in FrontPage: In their ongoing efforts to discredit, marginalize, and silence all those who dissent from their agenda, Leftists are increasingly trying to fool the public by establishing ostensibly neutral “fact-checking” organizations that purport to identify “fake news,” but which actually apply that label only to those who don’t […]

Switzerland: Muslim migrant gets eight months prison for genital mutilation of her two daughters
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 11:19 am

This will nonetheless keep happening, and become more common in Europe. This is because FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr […]

UK: Leftists enraged as UKIP leader Gerald Batten calls Muhammad “a paedophile who kept sex slaves”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 10:34 am

First, the question of fact. Was Muhammad a pedophile who kept sex slaves? Hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mosque At Basking Ridge: A Morality Tale? (Part 4)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 16, 2018 10:00 am

The Guardian report continued: Around the time the hearings began, some residents received an anonymous piece of mail. Inside was a letter entitled “Meet Your New Neighbor”, and a CD containing a recording of a radio interview in which Chaudry had offered some mildly nuanced opinions on Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah. “Here in Basking Ridge, […]

Norway: Muslim “unaccompanied child refugee” stabs man to death inside store, motive unknown
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 09:58 am

Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! This may not have been a jihad attack. Although the Islamic State and other jihad groups have called on Muslims in the West to murder random civilians, this particular killing could have been over some personal dispute between the killer and the victim. In any case, it is an […]

The Free Tommy demo and the Muslim bus driver
By Joshua Winston on Jul 16, 2018 09:32 am

Saturday’s Free Tommy Robinson rally in Whitehall in London was another heavily attended get-together. The speakers weren’t as bombastic, flamboyant, or as well-known as speakers from previous events, but you can’t have the same people all of the time. People have busy diaries and schedules, and it’s a good thing that the organizers are bringing […]

Qatar-funded Brookings Institution recommends for “summer reading” a book calling for Islamization of Europe
By Robert Spencer on Jul 16, 2018 09:17 am

The Brookings Institution is a respected and venerable organization, widely reputed in the West to be the repository of the nation’s finest thinkers on foreign policy issues. In reality, it is massively funded by the government of Qatar, and has worked assiduously to legitimize Muslim Brotherhood figures in the West — see here for a […]
