800 influential Islamic scholars from 120 countries to meet in order to establish that Islam is a religion of peace
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 04:45 pm

If it really were a religion of peace, they wouldn’t have to hold big conferences to prove it; it would be obvious to everyone. But there is an unfortunate reality that the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies is likely to ignore: there has never been a period since the beginning of Islam that […]

UN Secretary General condemns “Islamophobia” in statement about Pittsburgh synagogue mass murderer
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 04:18 pm

Eleven Jews were murdered in Pittsburgh; no Muslims were. But Antonio Guterres called on the world to “roll back the forces of racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia…” Why add in “Islamophobia”? Because the idea that “Islamophobia” is akin to anti-Semitism is a common Leftist talking point, along with the Leftist claim that Muslims in the West are […]

A Londoner explains why multiculturalism is a failure
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 03:53 pm

A London resident, Eli, explains how the multiculturalist imperative has destroyed the city, making large swaths of it welcoming only to Muslims. The tolerance of a radically intolerant culture has led to this. (WARNING: Some mildly strong language.)

French journalist: “Innumerable neighborhoods” in France are “ruled by Islamic law”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 03:21 pm

Zemmour is enunciating what everyone has known for years, but which it has been forbidden to say. The Mayor of Paris even threatened a few years ago to sue Fox News for saying that there were no-go zones in France. She did not, of course, ever actually bring suit. “Innumerable French neighbourhoods are Islamised and […]

Video from the Islamic Republic of Iran: Man tells woman she deserves rape for not wearing hijab
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 03:06 pm

This man is stating a commonplace. The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication […]

Turkey shells US-backed Kurdish militia positions in Syria
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 12:48 pm

Whether or not it is wise for the US to be backing the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), this shows yet again that the old Cold War alliances have far outlived their usefulness, and the US needs to reconfigure its international relationships on the basis of the new realities of the global jihad. This has […]

Iraqi National Police General says Turkey is helping the Islamic State rebuild in Iraq
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 08:54 am

Back in 2015, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, I noted that Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was aiding the Islamic State in the ultimate hope of co-opting its caliphate and making it part of his own revived Ottoman caliphate. Even though the Islamic State has suffered severe losses in Iraq and […]

Australia: Mosque has non-Muslim women try on hijab “to break down any sort of stigma around Muslims and Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 28, 2018 08:39 am

Everyone is happy at this Queensland mosque. Muslim women feel “empowered” (!) at the sight of non-Muslim women wearing hijab, and the non-Muslims are happy because “trying on a hijab may remove people’s negativity about it.” But where does that negativity come from? Why should anyone feel negative toward the hijab? Could it be because […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Emmanuel Macron, “true Frenchmen,” and the “Islam of France” (Part Two)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 28, 2018 08:25 am

What does or should it mean to be a “true Frenchman”? It isn’t any one thing, but it’s a constellation of things, beliefs, and attitudes, certainties and uncertainties, born of knowledge of and intelligent affection for a particular place called France, and a particular people called French. There are no bright lines to define the […]
