Video: MSNBC’s Malcolm Nance says “Robert Spencer the Islamophobe” is part of Russian disinformation campaign
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 08:57 pm

On MSNBC’s 11th Hour with Brian Williams last night, Brian Williams and Malcolm Nance (who has called for the Islamic State — ISIS — to bomb Trump properties) sound like two paranoid old Cold Warriors out of Leftist satires of the day, blaming Russia for everything. And I do mean everything. In their view, the […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 18, 2018 05:50 pm

Belgium is descending into chaos; the UN Migration Pact has caused a crisis in the nation. The country’s Prime Minister Charles Michel has now quit after losing a vote of no confidence. “Demonstrators clashed with riot police and targeted the EU Commission’s Berlaymont headquarters, which suffered several smash [sic] windows.” Critics, “including former Belgian immigration […]

Oklahoma: Muslim who attended flight school also attended al-Qaeda training camp
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 10:49 am

What could possibly have gone wrong? Only greasy Islamophobes would look askance at a Muslim who went to an al-Qaeda training camp also attending a flight school, right? “Saudi citizen residing in Oklahoma pleads guilty to visa fraud and concealing attendance at al Qaeda training camp,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, December 14, 2018: OKLAHOMA […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Few Questions for Shahid Shafi
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 18, 2018 10:00 am

These questions should ideally be addressed to Dr. Shahid Shafi at a public hearing, in the most courteous, non-confrontational, we-just-want-to-clarify-a-few-things manner. Here are some questions that come to mind: 1. Dr. Shafi, in saying your five daily prayers, you — and all Muslims — curse the Kuffar 17 times a day. Robert Spencer notes that […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: “Experts”: U.S. Will Never Beat Jihadis Unless They Give Them Money and Power
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 09:51 am

Failed analysts keep pushing failed policies. My latest in FrontPage: AFP reported Saturday that “experts” say “Western powers fighting Islamist groups around the globe are condemned to a never-ending battle if they only tackle the symptoms and not the underlying causes of jihadist insurgency.” That is true, but these establishment “experts” have no idea of […]

New study: Only people who are prejudiced against Muslims fail to see Muslim mass shooters as mentally ill
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 09:38 am

Why, of course. Why didn’t we think of this before? How could anyone have gotten the crazy idea that Muslim mass shooters are not mentally ill? Why, mass shootings by Muslims couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the Qur’an’s commands to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5) and the demands […]

Video from California: Muslim boasted of plots for jihad massacres at gay bars and UC Berkeley
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 09:24 am

If Amer Alhaggagi had committed a jihad massacre at UC Berkeley, the administration, faculty and students there would have issued a statement thanking the noble brown man for justifiably punishing them for their white privilege. “WATCH: Video shows accused ISIS supporter bragging of plot to bomb gay bars and UC Berkeley, sell poison-laced cocaine, prosecutors […]

Germany: Cops rule out terrorist motive for man who stabbed three random women in Nuremberg
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 09:12 am

The attacker has not been named, and he stabbed women who were unknown to him. While it is entirely possible that there is indeed no “terrorist motive” involved here, the attacks do conform to the jihadist modus operandi. The Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass […]

Pope Francis: Western world has “moral responsibility” to take in still more migrants
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 09:00 am

Pope Francis has repeatedly branded those who oppose mass Muslim migration into Europe as un-Christian. He seems to be completely unconcerned about facts such as the following: all of the jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in November 2015 had just entered Europe as refugees. In February 2015, the Islamic State boasted it would […]

Nigeria: Islamic jihadists repeatedly declared defeated by the government murder 12 soldiers
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 08:47 am

The Nigerian government has repeatedly boasted that it has defeated Boko Haram, the Party of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, or was just about to do so. It vowed to defeat Boko Haram by the end of 2014. And by the end of 2015. In mid-2017 it called the movement a […]

Florida: Muslim migrant who called himself “al-Qaeda soldier” sent bomb-making instructions to jihadis
By Robert Spencer on Dec 18, 2018 08:10 am

“Authorities said in that case Ismail had said the government kept Americans drugged to keep them unaware of what the government was doing.” Not so much drugged as lied to and half-informed so as to remain blissfully unaware of what people such as Tayyab Tahir Ismail are doing, and even of the fact that they […]

Franklin Graham: Allah and the Christian God are “not the same”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Dec 18, 2018 08:05 am

Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham, tweeted that Allah and the Christian God are “not the same.” Following the recent jihad attack in Strasbourg, Graham warned that “radical Islam continues to be a major global threat,” an obvious point that nevertheless makes one an “Islamophobe” for stating it. Graham disagrees with the […]
