Ireland: Youth leader bows to Leftist mob, disavows conservatives associated with conference he attended
By Robert Spencer on Aug 07, 2019 05:00 pm

This is yet another episode in the Left’s ongoing efforts to rule any point of view other than their own beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse. The Irish Independent is still trying to hang Foley-Walsh by, among other things, association with Stephen Miller and me: “He said he did not support or endorse the views […]

UK: Muslim migrant with 18 convictions could be deported; lawyers claim deportation would breach his human rights
By Robert Spencer on Aug 07, 2019 04:00 pm

Britain, and other Western countries, are in the fix they’re in today because of people such as MS’s lawyers, who consider the safety of their fellow countrymen less important than the safety of foreigners. MS may face the threat of violence in Somalia, but that doesn’t mean that Britain must keep him in the country […]

New Encylopedia of the Qur’an professes to show that the Islamic holy book teaches peace
By Robert Spencer on Aug 07, 2019 03:00 pm

This is the work of Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, which in itself makes it suspect. Tahir ul-Qadri is widely hailed as a “moderate” because of his massive Fatwa on Terrorism and Suicide Bombings, but that jaw-droppingly windy document is just another exercise in deception. In fact, Tahir ul-Qadri is the framer of Pakistan’s inhuman blasphemy laws. And […]

Al Jazeera claims to be feminist, its bosses don’t let women travel without a male guardian
By Daniel Greenfield on Aug 07, 2019 01:00 pm

Qatar’s Al Jazeera propaganda outlet has carefully zoomed in on the niche demographic of progressives who love getting their news from a state sponsor of Islamic terror. Al Jazeera writes oodles and oodles of articles and stories about the wonders of feminism. But it’s a propaganda outlet for a totalitarian regime which forbids women from […]

CNN’s Islamic terror fan Reza Aslan says all Trump supporters are terror supporters
By Daniel Greenfield on Aug 07, 2019 12:00 pm

No one has jumped more enthusiastically on the mass shootings by Neo-Nazis than Islamofascists who have taken the opportunity to loudly claim that the real threat isn’t them, it’s white men. Some have been more unhinged about it than others. Like Reza Aslan, formerly of CNN, who tweeted, “The President is a white nationalist terror leader. […]

Democrats Fiddle While Iran Burns
By Andrew Harrod on Aug 07, 2019 11:00 am

A serious annual defense budget will have to wait. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces seized the British oil tanker Stena Impero on July 19, an outrage that follows Iran’s June 13 attacks on two oil tankers and the June 20 downing of an American drone. Yet rather than focusing on an increasingly volatile Iran, […]

Saeed Ahmad Hasan dreams, in the pages of the Islamist daily Roznama Islam, of a “NATO-like” organization for Islamic states, one which he envisions would be based on the spiritual prestige of Saudi Arabia, the economic power of Turkey, and the military prowess of Pakistan. “The third country is Pakistan whose military power and defense […]

In 5 States, 1 in 5 Prisoners are Muslim
By Daniel Greenfield on Aug 07, 2019 09:00 am

American taxpayers are spending billions a year on Muslim prisoners. At 1%, Muslims are still a small percentage of the population. But there’s one place in America where they are vastly over-represented. State prisons. Take Maryland, which has an estimated 70,000 Muslims, making up over 1% of the population. But of Maryland’s 18,562 prisoners, 5,084 […]

Islamic Republic of Iran arrests 70 cyclists for not wearing hijab
By Robert Spencer on Aug 07, 2019 08:00 am

In the West, the establishment media pushes the myth that women who wear hijab are routinely brutalized by MAGA hat-wearing yahoos. Leftist feminists don hijab in supposed solidarity for these allegedly oppressed women. But those feminists have nothing to say about these women in Iran, who are genuinely oppressed and forced to wear the hijab […]
