Port of Calais on lockdown after “explosive device” discovered in car
By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2018 12:36 pm

“The driver arrived at the ferry terminal without a ticket or identity papers and demanded to speak to French President Emmanuel Macron as well as King Mohammed VI of Morocco.” The demand to speak to the Moroccan King makes it likely that the “explosive device” was intended for jihad, not “right-wing extremism,” but this whole […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2018 12:29 pm

By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2018 09:38 am

Imagine if a group of Christians, or any group other than Muslims, did this. The outcry would be immediate, immense, and international.

The Royal Navy rescued him. He showed his gratitude by murdering 22 in jihad massacre in the UK.
By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2018 09:08 am

By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2018 08:01 am

This will be more Left-wing bias, and more censorship of views that dissent from the Left’s agenda, since it is certain that the “experts in Islam” that Twitter has hired are apologists who insist it is a religion of peace, not people who actually know and are willing to state what is in the Qur’an […]
