Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Grand Sheikh Francis of al-Vatican
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 02:00 pm

The Pope of Islam goes to the UAE and gets played for a fool by Muslim sharpies. My latest in FrontPage: 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” during the Pope’s trip to the United Arab Emirates. It’s as […]

Muslim cleric says non-Muslims must convert, submit, or be killed, and those who leave Islam must be killed
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 01:51 pm

For years, Leftists, Islamic spokesmen, dhimmi Christians and others have called me a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe” because I have pointed out that Islam teaches these things. Will they go after Othman Al-Khamis and charge him with misunderstanding his own religion, which he has dedicated his life to understanding and explaining properly? Not on your life. […]

South Carolina man converts to Islam, plants explosives all over Anderson County
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 01:40 pm

Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder. Despite the fact that this is a frequently occurring phenomenon, authorities have nowhere shown the slightest degree of interest in studying it. “Anderson man, who warned of jihad, sentenced to 30 years for using homemade […]

Australia: Top lawyers, judges and provincial Supreme Court justices go to mosque to show solidarity with Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 12:48 pm

They wanted to do this because of the outrageous “Islamophobia” of Justice Desmond Fagan in his call for Muslims to reject the violent exhortations of the Qur’an. Have any of these judges actually read the Qur’an? Do any of them have any idea whether or not Fagan’s assertions were correct? Almost certainly not. Note also […]

Maajid Nawaz Has an Image to Protect
By Joshua Winston on Feb 09, 2019 10:51 am

Asked Thursday whether he would debate Maajid Nawaz, Robert Spencer replied: “Yes, of course I would. But Maajid Nawaz won’t debate me.” It isn’t hard to understand why that is true. Maajid Nawaz has an image to protect: that of being an all-knowing Muslim reformist who’s never wrong. He presents himself as a softer, gentler, […]

Sri Lanka: Iranian Woman Caught Smuggling Drugs in a False Bottom Suitcase
By Shwe Kalaung on Feb 09, 2019 10:32 am

It is not uncommon for Muslim women to be involved with drug trafficking in Sri Lanka, especially in the heroin trade, as several Muslim women were connected to the historic heroin seizure on December 31, 2018, stemming from a previous heroin bust a few weeks earlier involving a Muslim woman. Now a 24-year-old Iranian woman […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Why Turkey Should Be Expelled From NATO (Reason #876)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 09, 2019 10:00 am

Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced in mid-December that a new Turkish offensive in northern Syria would target Kurdish forces, in order to push them back from the Syrian-Turkish border. This was not a surprise. For years, Erdogan has shown more interest in fighting the Kurds in Syria than in fighting ISIS. In fact, in fighting the […]

Video: Trump vows to stamp out “radical Islamic terror” at Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS conference
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 09:33 am

In 2011, Obama ordered the removal of all mention of Islam and jihad from counter-terror training, making it difficult, if not impossible, for law enforcement and intelligence officials to understand the motivating ideology of jihad terrorists. Trump has been under tremendous pressure to fall into line with this thinking, which claims that we only encourage […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Judge Calls on Muslims to Disavow Violent Qur’an Verses
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 09:02 am

Muslim leaders say they’ll “never, ever, ever” do that. So much for Islamic reform. My latest in PJ Media: Australian Justice Desmond Fagan, while jailing two jihad terrorists last week, exhorted Muslims to work for genuine reform: The incitements to violence which terrorists quote from the Koran cannot just be ignored by the many believers […]

Saudi Arabia: Man asks mother if she is Shia, then cab driver beheads her 6-year-old son
By Robert Spencer on Feb 09, 2019 08:33 am

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4) Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be unbelievers, and have attacked them frequently throughout Islam’s 1400-year history. But there is no reason to be concerned about this: Saudi authorities are claiming that the cab driver is “mentally ill.” They likely picked up that idea from Western authorities, […]
