Ohio: Man converts to Islam, plots jihad massacre at synagogue, says Pittsburgh synagogue victims deserved death
By Robert Spencer on Dec 10, 2018 01:44 pm

Did Damon Joseph grow up hating Jews? Or was he influenced by the teachings of his new holy book? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims.

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 10, 2018 10:00 am

Further down the street, there was a flurry of activity. A woman was surrounded as she opened a huge bag full of phones, shoes, sunglasses and handbags — clearly stolen from tourists or Parisians.

Florida: Muslim threatens synagogue, previously broke window of kosher store, damaged menorah
By Robert Spencer on Dec 10, 2018 07:59 am

Nadim Siddiqui is clearly a repeat offender, a hardened hater of Jews. Where did he get his animus? Could it have anything to do with the Qur’an? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the […]

By Robert Spencer on Dec 10, 2018 07:10 am

Why not? After all, Anwar Awlaki’s al-Qaeda recruitment lectures were offered in Google Play store app. And in 2017, Texas imam Omar Suleiman made a successful effort to compel Google to drop search results about Islam-related terms and topics that reflected negatively upon Islam.
