Pope and Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh: Terrorism due to “incorrect interpretations of religious texts” and poverty
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 02:21 pm

Pope Francis and the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, have published a “A Document On Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together,” and it’s as filled with falsehoods and wishful thinking as one would expect coming from a practiced deceiver such as el-Tayeb and someone so eager to be deceived as Pope Francis.

Nigeria: Muslims murder at least 60 people, set homes on fire, chase those fleeing and kill them also
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 01:00 pm

Why is Boko Haram so fanatically devoted to murder that they would chase people fleeing Rann and murder them, along with killing people inside the town? Because Allah commands Muslims in the Qur’an to be merciless to unbelievers: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are ruthless against the disbelievers, merciful among […]

Pope signs declaration with Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar condemning “terrorism and oppression” carried out in God’s name
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Feb 05, 2019 12:05 pm

Pope Francis has “met with Emirate leaders and signed a joint declaration together with Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the grand imam of Cairo’s Al-Azhar University, condemning ‘acts of murder, exile, terrorism and oppression’ carried out in God’s name.” This sounds admirable and appears on paper to the gullible to be a source of hope, but the […]

Somalia: Muslims murder 11, injure 10 with car bomb at busy shopping mall
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 12:00 pm

Why target people at a shopping mall? In order to strike terror in the hearts, as Allah commands in the Qur’an: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do […]

CNN hits Heather Nauert for interviewing Robert Spencer and other foes of jihad terror, but CNN featured them also
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 11:35 am

CNN is trying to destroy Trump’s pick for UN ambassador, Heather Nauert, by noting that in 2009, she featured Frank Gaffney, Tarek Fatah and me on Fox News. But I was on CNN six years after that, in 2015. So once again the fake news propagandists at CNN trip on their own feet. But it […]

Australia: Muslim cleric warns that Allah will punish men who use urinals and getting “splash back” on clothes
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 11:00 am

Nassim Abdi is not some nut. He is teaching from standard, mainstream Islam. Islamic scholars classify this hadith as sahih, reliable.”It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: ‘The Messenger of Allah passed by two new graves, and he said: “They are being punished, but they are not being punished for anything major. One of them […]

New York City: Muslim Community Patrol working in cars resembling NYPD cars, wearing NYPD uniform lookalikes
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 10:28 am

The Muslim Community Patrol will doubtless be on the lookout for incidents of “Islamophobia,” that is, anti-Muslim “hate crimes,” which is entirely unnecessary, since the NYPD exists, and such incidents are actually quite rare according to FBI hate crime statistics — much less common than incidents of anti-Semitism. Will the Muslim Community Patrols also be […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Hamid Dabashi on All the Terrible Things Being Done to Muslims (Part Two)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 05, 2019 10:00 am

Dabashi again: The fate of Muslims in their own homeland is not particularly rosier. From one end of the Muslim world to the next, Muslims – in Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia in particular – live under tyrannical regimes, ruthless dictators, murderous military juntas, with their most basic civil liberties and human rights denied.

Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar blamed “our involvement in other people’s affairs” for bloody jihad massacre in Kenya in 2013
By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 08:45 am

It isn’t just Omar. It is taken for granted by mainstream counterterror analysts across the political spectrum that Islam is a religion of peace, and that the Islamic State and al-Qaeda aren’t Islamic, and that jihad terrorism is just a reaction to American or Israeli foreign policy. The ignoramus Max Abrahms of Northeastern University is […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 05, 2019 07:30 am

“A large part of the government’s case against Hendricks centered on his connection to one of two gunmen who opened fire at ‘The First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest’ in Garland, Texas in May 2015. Elton Simpson and Nadir Hamid Soofi drove from Phoenix to Garland, which is outside Dallas. They wounded a security […]
