US District Judge grants 1993 World Trade Center bomber’s demand for halal meals
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 02:44 pm

“The lawsuit said Ajaj considered vegetarian and Kosher meals inadequate.” But the Qur’an says that “the food of the People of the Book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them” (5:5), which means that Muslims can eat kosher foods and food prepared by Christians. That makes clear that Ahmad Ajaj’s lawsuit […]

“Palestinians” claim Muslim who murdered Israeli was the real victim
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 02:30 pm

Here yet again we see it. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are victims. When racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” supposedly target Muslims, Muslims are victims. And when Muslims fake “Islamophobic hate crimes,” Muslims are victims. Always and in every situation, Muslims are victims, to be appeased and accommodated in every possible way. Once you understand, we can […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 02:13 pm

“Palestinian” official: Abbas doesn’t realize that “Trump doesn’t just make promises or threats, he carries them out”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 02:02 pm

The “Palestinian” official is right, but Abbas may be excused for misjudging Trump in this regard. After all, every other recent American President has been full of empty threats and promises. Remember “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” and all of Obama’s red lines in Syria. Remember Bush’s vow to eradicate […]

Netherlands: Amsterdam’s mayor says she will close mosques where imams spread hate but only “as a last resort”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 01:47 pm

What will she do before closing them down remains unclear. Still, Femke Halsema should be congratulated and supported even for going this far. Few, if any, other mayors in Europe have made similar statements. “Amsterdam’s mayor says closing mosques where imams sow hate is ‘a last resort,’” Dutch News, September 17, 2018 (thanks to The Religion […]

Canada: Muslim cleric says husband has right to “intimacy” whenever he likes and may strike his wife
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 01:33 pm

Azhar Nasser is no “extremist.” Islam justifies what he says here. 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: […]

Muslim migrant who murdered 13-year-old girl came to Canada sponsored by a church group
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 01:20 pm

Bowen Island resident and SFU professor of criminology Neil Boyd said, “We can’t predict with unfailing accuracy who will or will not commit crime, all we can say about immigration is that people who come to Canada as immigrants have lower crime rates than native-born Canadians.” This is disingenuous in the extreme, as the immigrant […]

Twitter suspends woman for calling Muslim Brotherhood a “terrorist organization”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 12:46 pm

The Muslim Brotherhood is behind numerous attacks on Christians in Egypt. Hamas calls itself the Muslim Brotherhood for Palestine. Twitter, as has been made abundantly clear, is in the tank for the Left and its jihadist allies. The problem is that Twitter and the other social media giants have a monopoly on the means of […]

Muslim cleric in Germany denounces German Islamic conference: “Infidels are representing your religion”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 17, 2018 12:26 pm

The French and German governments have the fond hope of creating a “French Islam” and a “German Islam” that will accept the secular framework of the government and society and help Muslims integrate as loyal citizens. But then there are Islamic preachers such as Ahmad Armih, and he is by no means the only one, […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part I)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 17, 2018 11:05 am

There seem to be two Dalai Lamas when it comes to Islam. The first Dalai Lama, like that other expert on Islam Pope Francis, knows that authentic Islam is opposed to terrorism, that Islam is all about peace, and that any Muslim who engages in violence for that very reason can not be a “genuine […]
