Trump: “Our approach is based on principled realism — not discredited theories that have failed for decades”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2019 05:00 pm

Bravo. The foreign policy establishment needs a thorough draining of the swamp. As for Afghanistan, no peace agreement with the Taliban is ever going to be worth anything. He should simply get us out of that pointless conflict and focus on ways to contain the jihad threat globally without committing our military around the world […]

Pope: My trip to UAE wrote a “new page in history of the dialogue between Christianity and Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2019 02:00 pm

We will be able to put these claims to an empirical test. Will Pope Francis’ trip to the UAE and the misleading document he signed with the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, turn one jihadi away from his jihad? Will it prevent one Christian from being persecuted, or one church from being destroyed? We […]

UK: Pensioner banned from shop because Muslim found it more important to pray than to serve her
By Joshua Winston on Feb 06, 2019 01:00 pm

When the West clashes with Islam, Islam always wins. A disabled woman was made to wait in a queue in her local post office while a Muslim server was on his knees behind the counter saying his prayers. The owner of the shop defended the Muslim and banned the disabled woman, who has to use […]

Pope and Al-Azhar Grand Sheikh: “The fact that people are forced to adhere to a certain religion must be rejected”

Pope Francis and the Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar, Ahmed el-Tayeb, have published “A Document On Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together.” Here is another of its statements that raise questions about el-Tayeb’s sincerity: Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action.

“I am your rapist”: Muslims bombard former Islamic State sex slaves in Canada with threatening phone calls and texts
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2019 11:00 am

It is hard to imagine the depths of evil that must be in these callers’ hearts in order to enable them to do this. But those who held sex slaves in the Islamic State believed that they were on the side of righteousness, fulfilling Allah’s command to take “captives of the right hand” as “spoils […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Hamid Dabashi on All the Terrible Things Being Done to Muslims (Part Three)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 06, 2019 10:00 am

Then we go to India. The roots of Hindu violent mobs attacking Muslims in India is of course as old as British incitement of communal violence to sustain their own rule. The list of systematic Muslim massacres[sic for “massacres of Muslims”] is gruesome: From 1964 in Kolkata and 1983 in Nellie to 1987 in Hashimpura […]

Saudi Arabia develops app to stop women from traveling without permission from male guardians
By Robert Spencer on Feb 06, 2019 09:00 am

This is not “extremism.” It’s basic, mainstream Sharia: “The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home…because of the hadith related by Bayhaqi that the Prophet…said, ‘It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to allow someone into her husband’s house if he is opposed, or to […]

Turkey vows to “fight terrorism until the end”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Feb 06, 2019 08:00 am

“Turkish national defense minister on Saturday reiterated that Turkey continues its fight against terrorism.” By this, he does not mean Islamic jihad; he means those groups and people that Turkey deems to be “terrorist,” such as Israel, evangelical Christians, Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units. Unfortunately, many Western counterterror analysts will […]
