Somalia: 10-year-old girl dies after female genital mutilation, Islamic groups oppose criminalizing the practice
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 01:13 pm

Lawmakers are “afraid of losing their political clout among the all-powerful conservative traditional and religious groups bent at retaining the practice.” Who are these “religious groups” that are bent on retaining the practice? They are Islamic groups. FGM is mandated in Islamic law: “Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the […]

Saudi-funded Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative claims “Allahu akbar” “co-opted by anti-Muslim activists”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 12:33 pm

In response to the Richard Dawkins “Allahu akbar” controversy, Saudi-funded Georgetown University’s “Islamophobia” propaganda mill, the Bridge Initiative, has claimed that the phrase “Allahu akbar” has been “co-opted by anti-Muslim activists”: The “factsheet” (in reality a deception sheet) that Bridge Initiative linked contains numerous false claims, including: “The phrase is ‘recited by Muslims and Arabic […]

Egypt: Muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” encouraged by police in attack on church
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:45 am

Islamic law is clear: “The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches.” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). That’s why these Muslims riot at the prospect of a new church being built, and why the police aid the rioters instead of the victims. The police agree with the rioters. “Egypt: Mob attack encouraged by […]

Netherlands: Muslima gets probation for trying to join ISIS, must meet with “Islam experts”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:29 am

“S will not have to return to jail, because she has spent some eight months in custody prior to the trial.” Good, so she will be out on the streets, able to acquaint Dutch non-Muslims with Islam’s peace and tolerance. “S has also been told not to leave the Netherlands during her three years’ probation […]

California: Muslim boasted of plans to bomb gay nightclubs, set fires, and give homeless people explosive backpacks
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:10 am

“This is a young guy who was immature and said some stupid things.” Of course. Come on, you greasy Islamophobe, fess up. How many times have you boasted to an undercover agent about your plans to commit mass murder on a grand scale? It happens all the time. Only a hate-filled bigot would think there […]

Paris: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar, long live Hitler, death to Jews” assaults Jewish man, gets psych evaluation
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:00 am

This just another manifestation of the global outbreak of mental illness, you see. Nothing to see here. Go back to sleep, you kuffar. There is no jihad. There is no Islamic antisemitism. There is only a strangely recurring mental problem among some Muslims that causes them to become violent and attack non-Muslims, particularly Jews. Nothing […]

Hamas top dog boasts that “the cleansing of Palestine of the filth of the Jews” will happen within four years
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 10:25 am

All right, you genocidal monster, you’re on a deadline. In any case, note that Hammad said “the Jews,” not “the Israelis,” once again exposing as false the common assumption that the Israeli/ “Palestinian” dispute is over land, and can be settled by negotiations. Find out why that is false, and why negotiations will never bring […]

Germany: Muslim migrant stabs 14 people after dropping smoking backpack on bus in Lübeck
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 10:07 am

The perpetrator is apparently “Iranian and in his 30s.” Possibly related, despite the Shia/Sunni divide, is the fact that the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their […]

Germany: Muslim migrant murders his seven-year-old daughter, possibly during video chat with the girl’s mother
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 09:52 am

A father murdering his own daughter could be an honor killing. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length […]

Austria: Muslim migrant beats Jews in front of kosher shop in Vienna
By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 09:34 am

Welcome to the new, diverse, multicultural Europe. There will be much, much more of this, because 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 […]
