The advance of the jihad in the West today is due more to non-Muslims than to Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 03:17 pm

There are numerous non-Muslim organizations today that are enabling and abetting jihad terror and Sharia oppression by smearing and demonizing those who are calling […]

Jordanian MP: My late mother’s desire was “to don an explosives belt and blow herself up among the Zionist Jews”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 02:53 pm

This is no surprise. Huda Etoom and her mother grew up being taught constantly that Jews are inherently evil and bent on the destruction of the Muslims. 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 […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Hating Lincoln
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 02:44 pm

This article has nothing to do with jihad. Maybe I will establish a new website for writing that isn’t related to jihad. In the meantime, here is something different. It actually wouldn’t be hard for Trump to be more popular among Republicans than Abraham Lincoln was in his day. My latest in FrontPage: President Trump […]

India: Woman forced to sleep with father-in-law to satisfy Qur’an’s requirements for remarriage
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 01:25 pm

Nikah halala — a temporary marriage allowing a woman to return to her previous husband after a divorce. This is based on the Qur’an. Allah’s regulations for divorce emphasize regarding women that “men have a degree over them” (Qur’an 2:228). This may be why men can divorce their wives simply by saying, “Talaq” — You […]

UK: Independent’s Lizzie Dearden whitewashes Islamic identity of Muslim rape gang
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 01:13 pm

What makes this all the more extraordinary is that Dearden’s story is about how the Home Office knew about the Muslim rape gang activity in Rotherham as far back as 2002, but did nothing for decade, apparently for fear of being charged with “racism,” even though Islam is not a race (as fewer and fewer […]

UK Home Office had information on Muslim rape gangs in 2002, failed to act for fear of “racism” charges
By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 12:47 pm

“A report by Alexis Jay exposed ‘blatant’ failures by police and the Labour-run local council, where officials feared racism accusations at the time. The independent inquiry said an unpublished Home Office research report from 2002 described the extent of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and a series of criticisms over the response ‘that should have […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Mosque At Basking Ridge: A Morality Tale? (Part 7)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 19, 2018 10:00 am

Busy as ever, Mr. Chaudry has been inviting non-Muslims to visit the Islamic Center, and after the service, in an adjoining room, Chaudry and the Center’s imam took their questions: Why were the women and men separated for prayers? Does the Qur’an prohibit women from driving? What’s the deal with sharia, and is it practiced […]

Donald Trump tweets blamed for alleged spikes in anti-Muslim hate crimes
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 19, 2018 09:37 am

It may be a law of nature: President Trump tweets something about Islam. Anti-Muslim hate crimes follow….“Whether it’s a tweet or whether it’s in a policy (Trump is) introducing, or if it’s in a policy someone in his administration is introducing, I think it all comes together to create this kind of environment where targeting […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 19, 2018 09:28 am

It is widely known that Saudi-funded mosques pose a threat due to their spread of Wahhabi ideology. Now Turkey, with its dreams of reviving the Ottoman Empire, is spreading its jihadist ideology through its own mosques in the U.S.: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s recent re-election is fueling concerns about his growing powers not just […]

Sweden: National broadcaster deletes story on Muslim anti-semitism after threats
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 19, 2018 09:19 am

Last month, Ahmad Rami, the Holocaust-denying head of the Swedish-based “Radio Islam,” said in a TV interview that Judaism “is like a mafia in the West” and that “the Zionists are occupying Europe and the West both politically and in terms of the media.” As usual, he got away with it.
