Lawyers for Muslim convicted of jihad stabbing at Michigan airport claim he suffered discrimination
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 05:00 pm

The victim card keeps on getting played, even in the most preposterous of circumstances, such as in this case, apparently because it continues to work. Amor Ftouhi’s lawyers claim he suffered as a Muslim in Canada, one of the world’s most welcoming countries, and that his jihad attack was not jihad, despite his repeated avowals […]

Berlin: Muslims stab Christian homeless man while screaming about “your pig god”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 12, 2019 04:00 pm

“Arabic-speaking youths were caught on video assaulting and stabbing a homeless Berlin man is speculated in the German press to be an anti-Christian motivated attack.” The persecution of Christians is widespread in many Muslim countries — as is anti-Semitism — so it is to be expected that the same hatred and intolerance would be transported […]

German university study claims that Muslims are the world’s happiest people
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 03:00 pm

More of the West’s suicidal self-hatred, yet again emanating from academia. One would probably have to be an academic to take this sort of thing seriously. And of course the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, runs with it eagerly. There are many such studies. Evangelical Christians have published studies saying they’re […]

Canada: “Islamophobia” prof claims she was assaulted at conference, media runs with claims without checking
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 02:00 pm

It is the height of irresponsibility to report a story without hearing from both sides, but in today’s “journalism” of propaganda and press releases, it’s standard procedure. And so the Canadian Jewish News ran this story in which a Muslim professor, affiliated with the Saudi-funded “Islamophobia” propaganda mill at Georgetown University, the Bridge Initiative, claims […]

Italy: Crosses covered in cemetery to avoid offending Muslims
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 12, 2019 01:00 pm

“The crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion.” This absurd disregard for Christians and rejection of Italy’s Christian heritage does not constitute tolerance of people of other faiths. The Christian cemetery management is […]

Judge allows Muslim migrant to stay in UK because his gang membership shows his “integration”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 12:00 pm

There seems to be a kind of insanity that has overtaken much of the British political and media elite class. Was it because Tolga Binbuga was a Turkish Muslim that Judge Evan Ruth came to the ridiculous and quite spectacularly insane conclusion that “the likely association of Binbuga with this north London gang is a […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Apr 12, 2019 11:00 am

“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran…issued a statement vowing to ‘spare no effort’ in fighting the U.S. military…suggesting the potential of a planned attack against Washington.” This jihadist country, according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year, has been hiding a nuclear warehouse in Tehran, despite the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal.

Hugh Fitzgerald: A Tale of Two Museums (Part Six)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Apr 12, 2019 10:00 am

Yet if the American Jewish and Christian experiences are well documented in countless journals, research institutes, museum collections, in business, and in popular culture and entertainment, the American Muslim experience mostly appears to sit outside the broader narrative of stories Americans tell themselves about their history, according to religious scholars such as Lior Sternfeld, who […]

Rep. Ilhan Omar accuses Fox host of “dangerous incitement” for criticizing her
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 09:00 am

Criticism isn’t incitement. If her accusation were true, then all the criticism of President Trump from her and her colleagues is also incitement, and they should be silent. The constant conflation of criticism and incitement by Omar and her allies is an attempt to silence all dissent from their frankly insidious agenda. This is of […]

Nigeria: Muslim woman asks Sharia court for permission to divorce her husband, court orders her to pay him
By Robert Spencer on Apr 12, 2019 08:00 am

Meanwhile, if Muslim men wish to divorce their wives, all they need do is tell her “You are divorced” three times, and the deed is done. The inequality here is obvious, albeit nonetheless always denied by Islamic apologists. “Woman drags husband to Sharia court over inability to have children,” by Khaleel Muhammad, Daily Post, April […]
