Pakistan: After Friday prayers, 1000s of Muslims violently protest freeing of Asia Bibi, cops use tear gas, batons
By Robert Spencer on Feb 01, 2019 03:51 pm

These rioters and protesters are fanatically determined to have poor Asia Bibi’s blood for her supposed “blasphemy,” despite her acquittal by the Pakistani Supreme Court. When have we see thousands of Muslims protesting against jihad terror and Sharia oppression? Right, never. “Dozens detained as police use batons, tear gas to disperse violent TLP protest in […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 01, 2019 03:28 pm

Yeah, sure they won’t. OK, show of hands, people: how many of you believe that IPSO’s new guidelines for reporting on stories involving Islam and Muslims will not actually impinge upon the right to criticize Islam or challenge Islamic teachings?

Anti-Defamation League silent about anti-Semitism of Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib
By Robert Spencer on Feb 01, 2019 12:34 pm

The ADL consistently fails to notice the existence of anti-Semitism on the Left, as well as Islamic anti-Semitism. Even worse, it defames and demonizes those who call attention to and oppose Islamic anti-Semitism (including me). The ADL is not really operating in defense of Jews anymore; it is just another propaganda arm of the Left, […]

The Soros-funded propaganda smear machine Center for American Progress fires staffers for leaks about UAE influence
By Robert Spencer on Feb 01, 2019 10:32 am

The Center for American Progress is the extraordinarily well-funded, mendacious and subversive hard-Left organization that published a highly deceptive and misleading report on “Islamophobia,” a neologism designed to intimidate people into fearing to oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression. The CAP is antisemitic as well. And now we see why: it’s on the payroll of […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 01, 2019 09:50 am

This is most welcome news, and closes a particularly ugly chapter in the history of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and its enforcement of Sharia blasphemy laws. Asia Bibi was falsely accused, sentenced to death, imprisoned for eight years, and then when she was acquitted by the Pakistani Supreme Court, mobs all over the country […]

Australia: Judge tells Muslims to publicly denounce “violent Koran”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Feb 01, 2019 08:24 am

Australian Justice Desmond Fagan says that “Muslims should publicly denounce ‘belligerent’ verses of the Koran that have been used by Islamic extremists to underpin terrorism.” He said this “while jailing two terror-plotters.” This judge is on the right track. Verses from the Quran and Hadiths underlay all the actions of Islamic supremacists and jihadists, who […]
