9/11: Seventeen years have passed, and no end is in sight
By Robert Spencer on Sep 11, 2018 07:16 pm

It is seventeen years after 9/11, and stating the motivating ideology of the people who took down the Twin Towers and attacked the Pentagon is taboo. The establishment media coverage glossed over it. Delving in it beyond the idea that the hijackers had hijacked their own religion as well as four airplanes will get you […]

Australia: Muslim preacher says its a “major sin” for wife to refuse husband’s demands for sex
By Robert Spencer on Sep 11, 2018 06:59 pm

Nassim Abdi is not an “extremist.” A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning” (Bukhari 4.54.460). Another hadith attributes this to Muhammad: “By him in whose hand […]

Dartmouth prof: It’s good that 17 years after 9/11, people are finally forgetting about terrorism
By Robert Spencer on Sep 11, 2018 03:44 pm

Daniel Benjamin argues in Politico that it’s a good thing that people are forgetting about terrorism, because the threat was exaggerated, to the extent that “inhabitants in the tiny towns and villages” of New Hampshire had “fears about imminent attack,” which he says is “a scenario of almost indescribable preposterousness.” Is it, really? We have […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 11, 2018 01:54 pm

Seventeen years after 9/11, there are jihadis among us, but to note and deplore that fact is branded “Islamophobic” and “bigoted.” “Ex-Chicagoan indicted on charges he tried to join Islamic State,” by David Struett, Chicago Sun-Times, August 10, 2018 (thanks to Creeping Sharia): A former Chicagoan has been indicted on federal charges that he flew […]

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on 9/11: “Trump is harming the dream of America more than any foreign adversary ever could”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 11, 2018 12:34 pm

Seventeen years after 9/11, the fog of disinformation is thicker than ever. Scarborough has no idea of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and is so bent on demonizing and destroying Trump that he equates him to the murderers of 3,000 people. In a sane media environment, Scarborough would lose his job over […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 11, 2018 11:34 am

Ulrich von Schwerin accuses Sarrazin of claiming that the Qur’an is “obsessive” about sexuality. Look at the many Qur’anic passages in Part I that are about sex. Isn’t that list — which is not even exhaustive — enough to convince the fair-minded that Sarrazin’s observation is true? Von Schwerin then implicitly attacks Sarrazin for claiming […]

By Jamie Glazov on Sep 11, 2018 10:43 am
