Syria: Sharia scholar beheads man accused of working with Syrian government
By Robert Spencer on Jan 12, 2019 05:00 pm

A Sharia scholar! Why didn’t he stop the beheading and explain to his comrades that the Qur’an forbids such behavior, and that Islam is a religion of peace? We can only hope that the most learned imam in the world, Pope Francis, is on his way to northern Syria now to explain to Abu Muthana […]

Turkish ambassador to European security organization OSCE says “public should be told that Islamophobia is a crime”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 12, 2019 04:00 pm

The problem is that “Islamophobia” is a propaganda neologism that is used by its purveyors to refer to two distinct phenomena: harassment of innocent Muslims and violence against them, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror. The goal is to use efforts against the former to silence the latter, so that no […]

Women’s rights activist says “Islam improves status of women”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 12, 2019 03:00 pm

They have to keep telling us, because only by constant repetition can propagandists compel people to discard the truth and embrace the lie. The author of this piece, Saadah Khair, is described here as an “activist, International Women’s Alliance for Family and Quality Education.” The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should […]

US govt approved thousands of child bride requests, “Middle Easterners had highest percentage of approved petitions”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 12, 2019 02:00 pm

Of course they had the highest percentage of approved petitions. The government didn’t want to appear “Islamophobic,” and sacrificed the well-being of these girls to that fear. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths […]

Democrats to replace House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism with subcommittee investigating Trump
By Robert Spencer on Jan 12, 2019 11:00 am

The House Democrats clearly think that President Trump is a greater threat than jihad terrorism, which they don’t recognize as a threat at all, so why not? “KEEPING AMERICA SAFE: Dems Want To Replace Subcommittee On Terrorism With One Investigating Trump,” by Hank Berrien, Daily Wire, January 11, 2019: The Democrat who has taken over […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: “Islamic Modernist” Mustafa Akyol Betrays More of His Worldview Than He Likely Intended (Part 3)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 12, 2019 10:00 am

Akyol paints a picture of progress, steady but very slow, in encouraging change in Islam. But in fact, there has been backsliding in the very place where a secular Muslim society had been taken the farthest: Kemalist Turkey. Erdogan turns out to be the anti-Ataturk, he and his aides appearing proudly with their hijabbed wives […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 12, 2019 09:00 am

“Nick Vallelonga, the Golden Globe-winning writer of the critically acclaimed drama ‘Green Book,’ has apologized for a 2015 tweet containing a false, Islamophobic statement.” The wording is true to form for Leftist propagandist CNN, but were Vallelonga’s words really “Islamophobic”? In the tweet, sent to then-candidate Donald Trump, Vallelonga claimed he saw “Muslims in Jersey […]

Virginia: Muslim family claims hospital guard kicked them out, said niqabbed women looked “scary”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jan 12, 2019 08:00 am

Muslims now own the mass media, apparently, and any charge levied against an infidel by them, newsworthy or not, becomes a big news item, such as the hijab-wearing 11-year-old girl in Canada who lied about being attacked by an “Islamophobe”; a Huffington Post writer still wrote that she deserved an apology. Now comes more big […]
