Google claims motive of Pulse Nightclub mass murderer who pledged allegiance to ISIS is “inconclusive”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 01:43 pm

Omar Mateen pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), and that even shows up right next to Google saying his motive was “inconclusive,” but it’s no surprise that Google would whitewash this jihad massacre. Google is increasingly Sharia-compliant. Anwar Awlaki’s al-Qaeda recruitment lectures were offered in Google Play store app. And in 2017, Texas imam […]

Rouhani: Iran wants “friendly relations with whole world,” even US if it “accepts greatness of Islamic Revolution”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 01:11 pm

“Our slogan is friendly relations with the whole world,” including “America, if it repents…and apologizes for its previous interferences in Iran, and is prepared to accept the greatness and dignity of the nation of Iran and the great Islamic Revolution.” “Friendly relations with the whole world”? Remember: this man is part of a regime that […]

Pope: “Christian and Islamic worlds protect common values: life, family, religious sense, honor for the elderly”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 12:56 pm

Life? Yes, unless you’re not Muslim. In Islamic law, Muslim lives are explicitly worth more than those of non-Muslims. The Shafi’i Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller dictates: “The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is […]

Afghanistan: Taliban “committed to all rights of women that have been given to them by the sacred religion of Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 12:35 pm

That is, hardly any. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts […]

Germany: Muslim migrant who lied about being a “minor refugee” murders girlfriend for refusing to convert to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 12:00 pm

Of course, this has nothing to do with… Of course, we all know that refugees are more in danger than dangerous… Of course, only racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” oppose the influx of Muslim migrants into Europe… “Afghan migrant is jailed for life for murdering 17-year-old ex-girlfriend who had refused to convert to Islam in Germany – […]

UAE Forum Promotes Dubious Islamic Peace (Part III)
By Andrew Harrod on Feb 07, 2019 11:38 am

As earlier demonstrated, the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) annual Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies (FPPMS) promotes a whitewashed Islam in the service of, among others, UAE interests. Unsurprisingly, FPPMS speakers often focus upon defending a supposedly humanistic Islam against “Islamophobia,” even as some of the speakers’ own comments and biographies reveal Islam’s darker […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Feb 07, 2019 11:00 am

Gatineau city councillor Nathalie Lemieux has issued an apology for comments she made about Muslims and quit her job as the city’s deputy mayor. Her apology for “offending or hurting anyone” didn’t stop there. She punished herself before the anti-Islamophobia brigade could attack her for offending Muslims and Islam. There has been a brouhaha in […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Hamid Dabashi on All the Terrible Things Being Done to Muslims (Part Four)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 07, 2019 10:00 am

Let’s move to the other side of the globe: The historic xenophobia of the racist white supremacists in the US, the chief supporter of the Israeli settler colony, resulted in two major and many more US-led invasions of Muslim states in which hundreds of thousands of Muslims were slaughtered. When Americans freely and openly elected […]

Indian writer: “Why is the onus only on Hindus to accept Muslims and not the other way round?”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 09:00 am

“We need an Indian, perhaps subcontinental, truth and reconciliation process. Muslims would acknowledge and disassociate themselves from the bloody and horrific history of the conquest of India. Hindus, in turn, would let go of their hurt and pain that can turn into retaliatory rage.” The bloody and horrific history of the jihad against India is […]

UK: Muslim migrant rapes primary school-age girl in “vile sex attack” lasting over 30 minutes
By Robert Spencer on Feb 07, 2019 08:00 am

Why does this keep happening? One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the […]
