UK: Muslim who attacked cops with sword while screaming “Allahu akbar” found not guilty, didn’t mean to hurt anyone
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 04:38 pm

If Mohiussunnath Chowdhury had been a “right-wing extremist” who attacked police officers with a knife, do you think he would have been found not guilty, or that the jury would have bought this story of attempted suicide by cop?

Canada: Appeals Court upholds ruling that Muslims who plotted jihad massacre were entrapped by police
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 02:45 pm

Muslim cleric: “Your husband is only yours 25 per cent. The remaining 75 per cent belongs to other women.”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 01:20 pm

Of course. Polygamy is allowed in the Qur’an (4:3). Thus for a believing and informed Muslim there can be no dissent from this. The fact that it reduces women to commodities and has been a source of untold misery over the centuries is immaterial. “Your husband is meant to be shared with other women – […]

Trump orders rapid withdrawal of US troops from Syria
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 12:47 pm

CNN, the 24/7 Hate Trump Network, editorializes that “a US withdrawal of ground forces would fulfill a major goal of Syria, Iran and Russia and risks diminishing US influence in the region.” Ah yes, it’s all part of the vast Russian conspiracy. Back in the real world, however, the idea that influence can only be […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: With the ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ Uproar, Islam and #MeToo Intersect
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 09:11 am

Joyless puritans unite against the same “offensive” song. My latest in PJ Media: Many people have asked me how Leftists can ally with Islamic hardliners who adhere to Sharia, a system of laws that would have many of them executed. One clue to the logic of this curious alliance came recently in the “Baby, It’s […]

More Left-fascism: Facebook again blocks Jihad Watch page
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 08:32 am

It’s just a technical problem, right? All I have to do is secure my account with two-factor authentication, right?

A Facebook operative repeatedly assured me at that time that there was no silencing of dissenting voices going […]

Germany: Mosque raided for suspected jihad terror financing, imam is one of chief suspects
By Robert Spencer on Dec 19, 2018 08:01 am

Imagine how surprised German authorities will be when they discover that the As-Sahaba mosque is not singular or uniquely “extremist,” but that aiding jihad is a chief goal of Islamic zakat (almsgiving). But by the time they do realize that, it is likely to be far too late. “German police raid Berlin mosque over suspected […]

Today it’s frowned upon to be a nationalist — unless you’re a Muslim
By Joshua Winston on Dec 19, 2018 08:00 am

Ummah means ‘nation’ in Arabic.  The ummah is also the supra-national concept of a united community who share the same ethical notions of salvation as relayed by Muhammad. The Quran tells Muslims that they are the “best nation brought out for mankind” (3:110). It originally was applied to Arab nations, but Muhammad sought to expand […]
