By Robert Spencer on Feb 03, 2019 05:23 pm

The BDS movement is an obvious emulation of the Nazis, who began their actions against the Jews with boycott of Jewish-owned businesses. It is also an attempt to legitimize and give a patina of righteousness to what is in its essence a jihad operation with aims that are frankly and often avowedly genocidal. And the […]

Indonesia: Teen girl and her boyfriend are caned for hugging in public
By Robert Spencer on Feb 03, 2019 05:08 pm

Sharia morality doesn’t strive to inculcate virtue, that is, the desire to do what is good because it is good.

Muslima who left Germany to join the Islamic State wants to return, says she made a “big, big mistake”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 03, 2019 09:00 am

She joined a group that has repeatedly called upon Muslims to murder non-Muslim civilians in Western countries. She claims her husband was just a tech man […]

Robert Spencer: Sarah Blaskey’s Miami Herald hit piece on official who criticized Tlaib a new low for media lies
By Robert Spencer on Feb 03, 2019 08:00 am

My latest at the Geller Report: It’s commonplace and universal: if you dissent from the Leftist agenda, you’re not going to get fair, accurate, or honest treatment from establishment media reporters. But in this hit piece on Hallandale Beach Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub, who called Muslim Rep. […]
