By Robert Spencer on Mar 21, 2019 04:00 pm

The Islamic State declared its caliphate on June 29, 2014. At one point it controlled a territory larger than Britain, and it attracted 30,000 Muslims from 100 different countries to join it. Unfortunately, few, if any, Islamic State jihadis will take its collapse as a sign that their premises were wrong; they will just go […]

Trump: “After 52 years it is time for the US to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights”
By Robert Spencer on Mar 21, 2019 03:34 pm

Trump is right. The Golan Heights is indeed “of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!” Syrian soldiers used to stand on the heights and shoot down at Israeli farmers below. Only Israel is denied the right of conquest that has been universally recognized throughout human history: when a […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 21, 2019 03:00 pm

New Zealanders — men as well as women — are also being asked to wear the hijab this Friday. The shock and horror that Jacinda Ardern and other New Zealanders are feeling over the attack is understandable. The good intentions of these initiatives are obvious.

UK: Muslim migrant blames “immorality” in Newcastle for his violent 20-minute sexual assault on a “vulnerable” man
By Robert Spencer on Mar 21, 2019 02:00 pm

It’s always someone else’s fault. Always. Ever the victim, no matter what the circumstances are. In Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Islamic world, this kind of behavior is broadly tolerated. Women are so devalued, men look to other men and boys for sexual pleasure. Also, the Qur’an promises not just virgins to the blessed, but […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 21, 2019 01:00 pm

The weapon that leftist leaders have used for years is now turned against them. My latest in FrontPage: When Rep.

Khateeb Hussain is likely to be celebrated as a hero in Pakistan, in the manner of Mumtaz Qadri, the murderer of Salman Taseer, a politician who opposed Pakistan’s blasphemy law. A mosque in Islamabad was named after Qadri, and is an extremely popular and frequently visited place. “Bahawalpur student stabs professor to death over ‘anti-Islam’ […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Mar 21, 2019 11:00 am

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is “considering breaking ties with Turkey following President Erdogan’s threats against Australians after the Christchurch massacre,” and he should. Erdogan is a brazen jihadist with the goal of reviving the Ottoman Empire. All Western countries should break ties with Erdogan, who aggressively advances the Islamization of the West. Instead, he […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Mar 21, 2019 08:00 am

The Shia Muslim community in Sweden is concerned about its safety “if Islamic State militants return home.” Unfortunately for the Shia, Leftist Swedes believe that it is “racist” for Sweden not to embrace Swedish jihadis as they would any other Swedish citizen. Many other nations, such as Canada, hold the same view. Leftists and the […]

“The halls of power bowed to the pulse of the street. This moment marks a new future for American Muslims,” crowed a recent mass email from the Hamas-derived Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
