Why you don’t really oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression if you don’t support Israel
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 04:24 pm

Recently I’ve gotten quite a few emails from people who claim to be puzzled that I oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression and yet support Israel. These people do not appear to realize that Israel is on the front lines of the global jihad, and that if they don’t support it, they don’t really oppose […]

Muslim Brotherhood-linked Rep. Keith Ellison demands Amazon stop selling books from SPLC-designated “hate groups”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 03:51 pm

Keith Ellison’s letter to Jeff Bezos focuses on an alleged neo-Nazi’s material being sold at Amazon and published on Amazon’s self-publishing, but Ellison makes more sweeping statements, particularly his opening gambit: “I am writing to you with my concerns about the amount of money Amazon has made from the sale of literature and music published […]

Malaysia: Female student starts screaming after Qur’an recitation, mass hysteria breaks out
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 02:32 pm

Could this outbreak of mass hysteria have anything to do with the passages of the Qur’an that were being recited? Maybe the girl who started it all began screaming when she read some of the Qur’an’s passages about women. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they […]

India: Husband and two sons of Qur’an teacher sexually harass nine-year-old girl during lessons
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 01:00 pm

The victim was nine years old. This may have been because Chand Babu’s reverence for Muhammad led him to think of children as sexual objects. Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and go through all sorts of contortions to deny the […]

Video from India: On TV show, Muslim cleric physically assaults female guest, a Supreme Court lawyer
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 12:34 pm

“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Direct Connection Between Devoutness in Islam and Violence
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 12:18 pm

Virtually all jihad terrorists are devout Muslims. My latest in PJ Media: It is commonplace for Leftists and Islamic apologists in the West to claim that jihadis are ignorant of Islam, and indifferent to it. “Terrorists don’t kill for their religion,” asserted an article published in the World Economic Forum last year, just one of […]

Australia: Supreme Court judge bans wife of accused jihad terrorist from wearing niqab in court
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 12:05 pm

“Once there are multiple spectators in the public gallery wearing niqabs and traditional Islamic dress, working out who was who if something happened in court might not be a simple matter, especially as such dress tends to be very similar. I have previously indicated that, whilst all are welcome in my court, spectators in the […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mosque At Basking Ridge: A Morality Tale? (Part 6)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 18, 2018 10:00 am

The Guardian report continued: To some people in Basking Ridge, Chaudry’s struggle looked less noble. They saw his battle with the town government as a local political feud, which dated back to his tenure as an elected official, long before he ever proposed the mosque. Chaudry had first run for a seat on the town […]

Newsweek reports sarcastic explanation of “Allahu akbar” as “a message of love” as if it were serious
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 09:02 am

“Dear Richard,” Professor Gad Saad remarked. “Arabic is my mother tongue. When properly translated, ‘Allahu Akbar’ means ‘We love all people but hold a special fondness for Jews, women, and gays.’ Don’t worry. It’s a message of love, tolerance, and liberalism.” Gad was being sarcastic, but Newsweek’s intrepid reporter Benjamin Fearnow reports his words as […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Left’s Trump-Putin Meltdown
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2018 08:35 am

Just another nail in the coffin of the Leftist establishment’s credibility. My latest in FrontPage: In a press conference with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump refused to validate the findings of a deeply corrupt and compromised intelligence community that has been working assiduously since before he was even elected to discredit and destroy him, and now […]
