Soledad O’Brien calls Robert Spencer “white supremacist,” discovers he isn’t, quietly deletes tweet without apology
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 04:39 pm

This is “journalism” today: first convict and execute, then investigate. I was inundated yesterday with people calling me a “Nazi,” a “white supremacist,” and worse — evidently because Soledad O’Brien, the hard-Left former CNN talking head, saw an old tweet of mine about being banned from Patreon, and assumed I was the Nazi white supremacist […]

Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib to be sworn in on Jefferson’s Qur’an: “Muslims were there at the beginning”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 12:22 pm

Tlaib’s statement here is part of the ongoing effort to rewrite early American history to put Muslims in it, and to recast Thomas Jefferson as an Islamophilic multiculturalist. Reality was different. Jefferson owned a Qur’an because he understood that one must know one’s enemy in order to know how to defeat him. In 1786, Jefferson […]

UK: Baby Jesus statue beheaded, Town Hall declines to act because it was time for lunch
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 11:46 am

The nativity scene was placed there by the British Pakistani Christian Association. Let’s see. What group has a 1,400-year hostility to Christianity, persecutes Pakistani Christians, and practices beheading? And that may be why the Redbridge Town Hall refused to take any action on this matter. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.” Do you […]

India: Huge weapons cache seized; jihadis led by Islamic law expert plotted massacres at government offices
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 11:33 am

“Those arrested include the alleged mastermind, 29-year-old Mohammed Sohail, a ‘mufti’, or a Muslim legal expert empowered to give rulings on religious matters.” How did Mohammed Sohail misunderstand the Qur’an’s teachings of peace? We can only hope that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to Delhi now in order to explain […]

Canada: Church takes cross off wall to avoid offending Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 11:16 am

How generous, broad-minded, and ecumenical. Now: when will the local mosque put its Qur’ans away (since they deny the crucifixion, divinity, and redemption of Christ) in order to avoid offending Christians? “Elise Stolte: Mill Woods church takes a cross off the wall to welcome Muslims, Sikhs,” by Elise Stolte, Edmonton Journal, December 26, 2018 (thanks […]

Austria: “Mentally ill” man stabs two random train passengers in the neck
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 10:59 am

Maybe he is a mentally ill man who just decided to go around stabbing people. However, the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014: So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and […]

Hypocrisy: While barring persecuted Christian Asia Bibi, UK government to “review” persecution of Christians
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 10:41 am

This “review” is almost certain to be a useless exercise. The British government barred accused “blasphemer” Asia Bibi from entering the country, for fear that if she did, Muslims would riot. Now, if they’re honestly going to “review” the persecution of Christians worldwide, they will find that the perpetrators are mostly Muslims, and will deep-six […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Muslim In Germany Just Loves Christmas — So What? (Part Two)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 26, 2018 10:00 am

And how could I forget the Secret Santa in school? Exciting was not only what gift was in the bag. It was at least as exciting which classmate gave you the gift. By the way, Christmas memories didn’t stop at our front door. At the request of my brother, who was a true Christmas fan, […]

In Christmas speech, Pope Francis criticizes nationalism, touts cultural differences as “source of richness”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 09:45 am

Yet again, Pope Francis tries to guilt-trip Catholics into fearing to oppose mass Muslim migration into Europe. He 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 […]

Afghanistan: Jihadis blow up car outside government building, storm the building and take civilians hostage
By Robert Spencer on Dec 26, 2018 09:33 am

This is happening while U.S. troops are there. What will happen when U.S. troops are gone? This. The endless Afghan misadventure is a fool’s end with no clear mission, no goal, no purpose, no end point. The U.S. troops should come home, as they should have years ago. “Militants storm government building in Afghan capital, […]
