By Christine Douglass-Williams on Jul 18, 2019 03:00 pm

“Thirty mosques and Islamic cultural centers in Germany are tied to the Iranian-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah, a Hamburg intelligence agency report reveals.” Hizballah is Iran’s most successful export.

Turkey: Muslim leaders complain that law combating violence against women aims to destroy the family
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2019 01:00 pm

No surprise here. 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 because […]

Muslim persecution of Christians intensifying across the Sahel
By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2019 12:00 pm

“The poverty, lack of employment opportunities and corruption makes many susceptible to the message of radical Islam, which promises a new political order free from corruption,” Open Doors said. The idea that poverty causes terrorism is just a call for Western nations to write more checks to governments of Muslim countries. It’s also demonstrably false. […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 18, 2019 10:00 am

Turkey, a member of NATO and — some still believe — an American ally, has been in the news of late because of its purchase, and then its taking delivery, of the S-400 air-defense missile system from Russia. It did this in defiance of the wishes of the American government, and of every other member […]

Islamomoria — Countering the Charge of “Islamophobia”
By Mateen Elass on Jul 18, 2019 09:00 am

When words are weaponized and skillfully wielded in the moral battles of a society, they can change the debate landscape in short order — a few decades at most. Witness, for example, a word freshly minted in the early 1980s, when attitudes toward homosexuality were by and large negative. Gay activists coined the term “homophobia” […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 18, 2019 08:00 am

In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities. “Report: American Islamist Charities Funding Terror in Gaza,” by Abha Shankar, IPT News, July 12, 2019: A Gaza-based charity that ostensibly receives humanitarian […]
