Here’s why Ilhan Omar’s claim that “white men” are greater threat than jihad terrorists is wrong
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2019 04:00 pm

By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2019 02:00 pm

“Other hate figures who have been allowed legal aid include Lee Rigby’s killers Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, extremist preacher Anjem Choudary and jihadi bride Shamima Begum.” Of course they are entitled to legal representation, but why should they receive taxpayer-funded legal aid while the victims of jihad attacks get nothing?

Western elites have mastered the Soviet arsenal of repressions perfectly The report stating that Tommy Robinson was transferred to a special closed prison, Belmarsh in the South of London, which was described as “jihadi training camp,” has brought an ominous deja-vu to me. …In the 1990s, we learned a gloomy story about N.

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Aug 06, 2019 10:00 am

Saeed Ahmad Hasan fails to understand that the Arabs’ historical memory of the Ottoman Empire makes them hostile to the Turks today.

By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2019 08:00 am

“You do not discriminate between Arabs, Jews, and Druze”? Is Sayyaf Sharif Daoud aware that he just exploded the “Palestinian” oppression myth? Will Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounce him as a “Zionist” and a “right-wing Islamophobe”? “Captured Israeli Arab ISIS Fighter Sayyaf Sharif Daoud Asks Netanyahu to Let Him Return to Israel, […]
