UK peer: “Those who live in the UK yet involve themselves in attacks against the UK are surely guilty of treason”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 01, 2018 03:40 pm

He will be denounced as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe,” of course. But what did he say that wasn’t commonsensical, and should be adopted by the UK government? (It won’t be.) “Hate Preachers and Jihadi Brides Should Be Tried for Treason, Says Tory Peer,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, November 1, 2018: A Conservative Party member of […]

University of Michigan hosts Muslim advocates of “Palestinian” jihad two days after Pittsburgh synagogue massacre
By Robert Spencer on Nov 01, 2018 01:47 pm

In academia, Islamic antisemitism has at this point become so much a part of the atmosphere that these institutions can’t possibly be self-critical enough to realize what they’re aiding and abetting. To do so would go against their core principles. “UMich hosts anti-Israel activists two days after synagogue massacre,” by Autumn Price, Campus Reform, October […]

CNN’s Don Lemon doubles down on false claim that white men are “biggest terror threat in this country”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 01, 2018 10:17 am

“The evidence is overwhelming,” insists Lemon. But is it, really? There are several reasons why it is a false claim that “right-wing extremists” are a bigger threat to Americans than Islamic jihad terrorists. “Lemon pointed to a recent Government Accountability Office report that shows that since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, far-right violent extremists have […]

Oxford University researchers say “religious violence is pretty rare in our history,” hunt for its causes
By Robert Spencer on Nov 01, 2018 09:52 am

These Oxford University researchers, like most other academics today, dismiss out of hand the possibility that religious violence could stem from the actual teachings of a particular religion.

By Robert Spencer on Nov 01, 2018 08:59 am

They condemn anti-Semitism, but believe in a book teeming with it. My latest in PJ Media. I wrote this several days ago; since then, the casualty count, as well as the number of Muslim leaders condemning anti-Semitism, without, of course, ever being asked about Islamic anti-Semitism, has grown. On Saturday morning, a man named Robert […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Nov 01, 2018 08:51 am

Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has promised that “Ankara will produce first long-range missiles by 2021.” This is a matter of concern coming from an Islamic leader as ambitious and aggressive as Erdogan.

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Nov 01, 2018 08:38 am

Jihad Watch reported earlier that Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman who has been imprisoned since 2010 for blasphemy, was finally acquitted.
