By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 06:23 pm

Why wouldn’t he have done so? Such behavior is sanctioned in Islamic law: “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 […]

Erdogan to US: “Shame on you. You are exchanging your strategic partner in Nato for a priest.”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 06:10 pm

For years I have called for a reconfiguration of our international alliances to reflect new alliances. Now it is happening of its own accord. Rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey has not been a reliable ally of the US for years. It is long overdue that this sham alliance be brought to an end, and our alliances with […]

UK: Muslim rape gang to be stripped of British citizenship and deported
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 05:48 pm

Shabir Ahmed “claimed his convictions were a police and ‘far right’ conspiracy to ‘scapegoat’ Muslims.” Oddly enough, this time that defense didn’t work. “BANISHED: Pakistani Grooming Gang Rapists Lose British Citizenship,” by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, August 8, 2018: Three rapists from the Rochdale child grooming gang will be stripped of British citizenship after a top […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 05:39 pm

Tunisia: Thousands of Muslims demonstrate against gender equality and legalization of homosexuality
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 05:08 pm

The protest was “organised by the National Coordination for the Defence of the Quran,” the book we are constantly told in the West preaches peace and tolerance. When have we ever seen thousands of Muslims demonstrating against the jihad terrorism that supposedly “hijacks” their religion? “Thousands of conservative Muslims protest Tunisia gender equality report,” Al […]

UK: Council drops bid to take children of two jihadis into care, children not “radicalized”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 04:42 pm

“But she denied being an extremist and maintained she was simply a ‘a politically engaged, articulate and devout person who believed that observant Muslims should aspire to live in a caliphate’ and had the right to express views critical of foreign and domestic policy.” Oh, is that all! Carry on, then. We wouldn’t want to […]

UK: Gas station forces motorcyclist to remove his helmet while Muslima in niqab filled up next to him
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 04:29 pm

This was not a “racist” incident. Islam is not a race, and Muslims are of all races. But that is how the UK government and establishment media have consistently approached it, so the confusion is understandable. Also, the woman was almost certainly not wearing a burqa, but rather a niqab. The UK media constantly confuse […]

UK: Police tell soccer fans to be “really, really vigilant and not be inhibited about reporting stuff to us”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 09:43 am

What nonsense. In today’s Britain, if they do report suspicious activity, they’re likely to be charged with “Islamophobia.” In Britain today, the de facto rule is If you see something, say nothing, unless you want your life ruined by authorities intent on pretending that there is a “far-right” threat that is equivalent to the jihad […]

UK: Bus driver disciplined for asking Muslim woman to remove face veil
By Robert Spencer on Aug 12, 2018 09:29 am

The driver raises security concerns, which the Muslim woman takes as him accusing her of being a terrorist. But there are legitimate security concerns involving covering the face. We have seen crimes committed by people with their faces covered. In today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, however, security concerns have to go out the window when […]
