For the First Time Ever: the Shocking 1,400-Year History of Jihad
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 12:19 pm

Here is the first official press release for my new book: Here, for the first time, is the entire history of Islamic jihad activity from the beginning of Islam to the present day – from Spain to India, from Muhammad’s massacre of Jews at the Khaybar oasis in Arabia to the hijacked jets taking down […]

Switzerland: Muslim leader complains that “Islam is being reduced to problematic elements such as terror”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 11:22 am

Who is responsible for this reductionism? Pascal Gemperli would doubtless say that “Islamophobes” are responsible, when in reality jihad terrorists are wholly and solely responsible. “Muslim umbrella group warns against stigmatisation of Islam,” SwissInfo, July 17, 2018: The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Switzerland has warned against associating crimes with a certain religion. In an […]

Richard Dawkins savaged as “racist” for saying cathedral bells more pleasant than “aggressive-sounding Allahu Akbar”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 10:41 am

What’s important here is not what Richard Dawkins likes or dislikes, but the fact that people call him a “racist” with a straight face for thinking “Allahu akbar” sounds aggressive, and preferring the sound of cathedral bells. What race is Islam again? What race is the jihad murder of innocent civilians? I never can remember. […]

Sweden: Muslim preacher teaches Muslims to hate non-Muslims, children wash in mosque after being with Christians
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 10:24 am

Imagine the surprise of Swedish authorities when they discover that this isn’t happening just among a tiny minority of extremists, but is mainstream Islamic practice. But by then it is likely to be far too late. “‘After day with Christians, Muslim teens wash in mosque’: Study charts rise of Salafism in Sweden,” RT, July 16, […]

British victim of Muslim rape gang was trafficked to Morocco for prostitution
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 10:11 am

“Writing in her book No Way Out, ‘Kate Elysia’ — a pseudonym — also revealed that she was sexually abused by more than 70 men from Birmingham and the West Midlands for years, but only two rapists were ever convicted.” Why? Because British authorities care far more about being accused of “Islamophobia” than they do […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mosque At Basking Ridge: A Morality Tale? (Part 5)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 17, 2018 10:00 am

In Basking Ridge, New Jersey, the planning board several years ago rejected the local lslamic Society’s building plan for a new mosque. Among the objections were that the mosque’s visitors had been undercounted by 50%, that the parking lot attached to the mosque was too small for those visitors, that the mosque would be in the middle of […]

Malaysia: Muslim justifies his marriage to 11-year-old by saying he wanted to marry her since she was 7
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 09:49 am

Oh, that makes it all right, eh? Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) […]

UK: “Respected south Wales businessman” founds jihad cell accused of attacks in Bangladesh and plot in US
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 09:28 am

The idea that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism has led the U.S. to shower billions on Muslim countries, hoping to win hearts and minds and alleviate what mainstream analysts doggedly believe are the root causes of terrorism. But it has been known for years that poverty doesn’t really cause terrorism at all. The Economist reported in […]

The Arabian Nightmare of the West
By Alexander Maistrovoy on Jul 17, 2018 09:00 am

Terror as curiosity: countless sufferings without the realization of such … In 1983, Robert Irwin wrote a fantasy novel, The Arabian Nightmare, about a young Englishman who was dragged into a whirlwind of sinister and ridiculous events in Cairo. The Arabian nightmare he learned was like a disease or a curse. It was terrible and […]

Coming to some reality on Crimea — which the Ottomans used as a jihad base for years
By Robert Spencer on Jul 17, 2018 08:00 am

Amid all the hysteria regarding Trump and Russia, with many people calling upon Trump to denounce Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, it is useful to regain some historical perspective. Crimea, as Michael Finch explains here, was point of contention between the jihadis of the Ottoman Empire at the Russians for many, many years. I […]
