Washington Post hits “baffling argument” that “Islam is not a religion”

Organization of Islamic Cooperation urges UN to declare “Islamophobia” a form of racism
By Robert Spencer on Mar 24, 2019 12:00 pm

Racism is hating someone or denying services to someone gratuitously, because of his or her race. Islam is not a race, and there are Muslims of all races. Islam is a belief system. If the UN goes for this, and it very well may, it will classify analysis of how that belief system incites some […]

By Robert Spencer on Mar 24, 2019 09:00 am

Islamic tolerance. The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion.

Jammu and Kashmir: Muslims take 12-year-old boy hostage and kill him despite mother’s appeal
By Robert Spencer on Mar 24, 2019 08:00 am

“Atif and his uncle, Abdul Hameed, were abducted when the family tried to flee the house as security forces cordoned off the area.” The jihadis apparently thought that by fleeing, they were siding with unbelievers against the believers, and therefore the boy could lawfully be taken hostage and killed. “J&K: 12-year-old boy held hostage, killed […]
