Facebook and Twitter consult with Hamas-linked CAIR over who gets banned from their platforms
By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 04:19 pm

This doesn’t come as any surprise given the eagerness of both Facebook and Twitter to be Sharia-compliant. Facebook’s Vice President Joel Kaplan traveled to Pakistan in July 2017 to assure the Pakistani government that it would remove “anti-Islam” material. And Facebook has done so assiduously, banning numerous foes of jihad terror and twice now blocking […]

Pompeo: “We’ve taken down 99 percent” of the Islamic State caliphate
By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 03:00 pm

This is a momentous statement.

But now it is almost all gone, although the Islamic State […]

Canada: Muslim cleric who said wishing people Merry Christmas is worse than murder says he was taken out of context
By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 02:00 pm

Establishment media journalists never have the wit or interest to ask them to explain exactly what context renders their words benign. “Canadian cleric says ‘Merry Christmas’ is worse […]

Facebook removes ads promoting petition to halt UK mosque
By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 12:15 pm

Britain First and Political Gamers UK are being defamed with the usual epithet of “far right,” which means nothing more today than that the establishment media wants you to dislike them. The real question is this: is any concern about any mosque anywhere in the West ipso facto bigoted and Islamophobic? In Switzerland, mosques have […]

Archbishop Agrelo: “Migrant Camps Are Concentration Camps” (Part One)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 08, 2019 10:00 am

The Archbishop of Tangiers, in Morocco, Santiago Agrelo Martinez, is outraged at the way the E.U. is treating migrants. He claims that setting up camps in Africa where these migrants are to be processed would be tantamount to creating “concentration camps for people who have no rights.” The Archbishop’s language is disconcerting. “Concentration camps” — […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 08, 2019 09:00 am

“Newly-installed Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is being criticized for an antisemitic tweet,” in which she accused “pro-Israel Americans of dual loyalty — a common theme used by antisemites to attack Jews.” Tlaib’s tweet was in response to Bernie Sanders’ opposition to anti-BDS legislation (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions). The BDS movement is itself “widely considered antisemitic for […]

Germany: Politician who opposes mass migration beaten, Left leader warns against violence “even towards the AfD”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 08:50 am

This is likely the work of Leftists who believe that any opposition to mass Muslim migration into Europe is “bigoted” and “racist” and “Islamophobic.” This incendiary rhetoric was inevitably going to boil over into violence. As the Left grows increasingly thuggish and intolerant of dissent, this is the result. Note the way the establishment media […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 08, 2019 08:04 am

They’re watching them, but they’re not stopping them. Imagine how different France would be today if French authorities had the will to stop these jihadis, and the determination not to allow any more to enter the country. But that would require a sea change in the French political establishment. “Report: Nearly all terror attacks in […]
