By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 06:55 pm

Somalia: Muslim doctor from Canada joins the Islamic State, urges Muslims to “get on the path of jihad”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 03:00 pm

It is taken for granted among mainstream counterterror analysts that poverty causes terrorism, yet there is a steady stream of affluent people who join the jihad. And Dr. Youssef Al Majeerteyn seems somehow to have gotten the idea that jihad involves violence against unbelievers. Where did he learn that? Is his mosque in Canada being […]

UK’s Express claims Churchill had “fascination with Islam,” may have converted to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 12:51 pm

Yesterday I noted the Western intelligentsia’s seemingly endless “capacity for self-flagellation and self-hatred.” Another manifestation of the same tendency is what we can call the Jefferson’s Qur’an Effect: claiming that public figures of the past who had any interest in Islam for any reason, even if they publicly expressed negative views of the religion, were […]

Nigeria: Muslims destroy 1,125 churches belonging to one Christian sect alone
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 12:30 pm

Imagine if Christians anywhere destroyed 1,125 mosques. The outcry would be immediate, sustained, impassioned — and justified. There would governmental studies and lavish media examination of Christian “Islamophobia.” But no one will take any particular notice of this. “Boko Haram: EYN asks Nigerian govt to rebuild 1,125 churches razed by insurgents,” Daily Post, January 23, […]

Sri Lanka: Organ Harvesting of Foreign Workers in Islamic Countries
By Shwe Kalaung on Jan 24, 2019 12:00 pm

A heinous crime preying on an economic underclass is growing worldwide: organ trafficking. Make no mistake, organ trafficking is a crime of economic circumstance, stripping the body parts of victims, all of whom are economically underprivileged, in order to sell them for organ transplants to affluent people who can afford expensive life-saving surgery. In some […]

Islamophobia in the UK: Police install anti-terrorist gates designed to stop 7.5 ton trucks around Queen’s estate
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 11:00 am

Oh, the Islamophobia! One might almost get the idea that they were trying to stop a vehicular jihad attack! Does Theresa May know about this? Don’t they know it’s a religion of peace, and that these barriers could offend Muslims by implying otherwise? Tear them down! “Police install new portable anti-terrorist gates designed to stop […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 10:15 am

Of course! What else could he possibly be but mentally ill? Who ever heard of a gun-wielding Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar”? It’s a religion of peace! “French Waitress Disarms Gun-Wielding Migrant Who Shouted ‘Allahu Akbar,’” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, January 24, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A waitress in the French city of […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Rahaf Mohammed, Linda Sarsour, and the Question of Apostasy (Part Two)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jan 24, 2019 10:00 am

91% of the honor killings in the world are committed by Muslims. This is, according to the Wikipedia definition, the “murder of a member of a family, due to the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought shame or dishonor upon the family, or has violated the principles of a community or a religion, usually […]

UK: Muslims enraged, call for boycott over toilet paper they claim features the name of Allah
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 09:46 am

This latest occasion for Muslim outrage is particularly ridiculous. The idea that fiendish Christians are printing the name of Allah on toilet paper in order to offend Muslims could only have occurred to the most paranoid purveyor of the victimhood mentality. The name of Allah in Arabic is the kind of design that if you […]

By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 09:00 am

This is an ongoing travesty of human rights, but no one is particularly concerned. It isn’t as if something important such as “Islamophobia” was being committed. “Pakistan: Nearly 200 cases of Christians on blasphemy charges,” by Tobias Lehner and John Pontifex, Independent Catholic News, January 23, 2019: There are nearly 200 cases of Christians in […]

Egyptian writer: “The main plan of the Islamists is to destroy Western civilization. They said so themselves!”
By Robert Spencer on Jan 24, 2019 08:00 am

I don’t generally use the word “Islamist” myself, as it is too often used in order to establish some artificial distance between aggressive, violent, imperialist and supremacist political Islam and a supposedly benign ordinary Islam. But in every other respect, Said Shoaib and Hamed Abdel-Samad say in this important interview things that I have said […]
