Islamic Republic of Iran sentences convert from Islam to prison for “acting against national security”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 04:00 pm

An interesting sidelight to this case is the fact that Islamic apologists in the West routinely try to downplay and dismiss Islam’s death penalty for apostasy by saying that in Muhammad’s time, when the Islamic community was one unit, and was a state as well as a religion, apostasy was tantamount to treason, but nowadays, […]

Mauritania: Man held for two extra years in prison on blasphemy charges as Muslims call for his execution
By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 03:00 pm

This is a great injustice, but they could have put him to death, as the mob wishes to do. There is much support in the Qur’an and Sunnah for the death penalty for blasphemy. It can arguably be found in this verse: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger […]

Islamic Republic of Iran: Man gets two years prison and 80 lashes for “insulting Islamic sanctities”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 02:00 pm

We are much more enlightened in the West: “insulting Islamic sanctities” won’t get you imprisoned (yet); it will just get you vilified, defamed, deplatformed, and branded a “hate group leader.” “Iran: Prisoner of conscience flogged 100 times for ‘drinking alcohol and insulting Islam,’” Amnesty International, August 1, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The […]

Iraqi TV host: “After 1,400 years of cursing the Jews and the Christians, Muslims are the ones left with no unity”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 01:00 pm

Most Muslim (and non-Muslim) spokesmen in the U.S. would indignantly deny that Muslims have been cursing Jews and Christians in their prayers for 1,400 years, but what Mahdi Jassem says here is true. The final two verses of the Fatiha, the first sura of the Qur’an and the most common prayer in Islam, ask Allah: […]

Thailand: Bangkok rocked by multiple blasts during morning rush hour, three injured
By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 12:00 pm

Oddly enough, there are no “white nationalists” in Bangkok. Who, then, could have done this? Well, Thailand has for years been dealing with Islamic jihadists. But of course the Mirror makes no mention of that. To mention it would be “Islamophobic.” “Bangkok explosions: Thailand rocked by multiple blasts during morning rush hour,” by Bradley Jolly […]

By Daniel Greenfield on Aug 03, 2019 11:00 am

The foreign election interference the Democrats don’t want to talk about. After disrupting a Holocaust Remembrance Day event at U.C. Berkeley, Hatem Bazian told supporters to look at all the Jewish names on the buildings, “take a look at the type of names on the building around campus — Haas, Zellerbach — and decide who […]

In Tyler, Texas, Dispelling “Myths” About Islam
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Aug 03, 2019 10:00 am

One more Open-Mosque Ask-Muslims-Anything Night, this time in Tyler, Texas. The story is here: People who don’t believe Jesus was a prophet cannot be Muslims. About one-third of Africans brought to the United States as slaves were believed to be Muslim. And Muslims don’t consider Christians infidels. So Christians are to be impressed that Muslims […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 03, 2019 09:00 am

“Bourhan Hraichie, 22, cheered as he was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court. He interjected at various points, including when Justice Peter Johnson said his beliefs were based on a ‘distorted understanding of Islam.'” Peter Johnson is the latest in a long line of judges who have lectured Islamic jihadis about how they’re misunderstanding their […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Aug 03, 2019 08:00 am

German interior minister Horst Seehofer is  pressuring Italy to open its ports and take in illegal migrants from Libya, despite the mess Germany is in with its own Muslim migrant crisis: crime, no-go zones, jihad attacks and skyrocketing costs. Troubling news just surfaced: an Eritrean refugee charged with murdering an 8-year-old child by pushing him […]
