“It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs”: NJ mayor enraged at being questioned on return from Turkey
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 05:00 pm

“It’s flat-out insulting,” he said. “It’s flat-out stereotyping of Muslims and Arabs.” Yet Islamic jihadis have committed over 35,000 jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11. Should Muslims be entirely exempt from this questioning? Or should only Muslim mayors be presumed to be stalwart patriots and never questioned? I myself have been detained and questioned more than […]

Muslim who says he grew up in UK says ISIS will “establish the sharia over your necks whether you like it or not”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 04:00 pm

Judging from the consistent behavior of British authorities, it looks as if they like it just fine. But doesn’t this fellow know that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam or Sharia? Why does this message come through loud and clear to non-Muslims in the West, but not to jihadis themselves? “‘GO TO […]

Australia: Butcher shop’s “Non Halal Certified” sign banned as “offensive and demeaning” to Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 03:00 pm

There may be any number of reasons why people don’t want halal meat. They may object to halal slaughter for humanitarian reasons. They may consider it to be meat sacrificed to idols, as discussed in the New Testament. They may object to the fact that many halal certification organizations have links to jihad terror groups. […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 02:00 pm

What could possibly go wrong? The only people who could object to this are racist, bigoted “Islamophobes”! “Enderby mayor calling on Ottawa after alleged ISIS supporter released into B.C.’s Southern Interior,” by Doyle Potenteau, Global News, September 6, 2019: The small city of Enderby is calling on Ottawa to implement public safety reforms following the […]

Saudi wife of man imprisoned for “insulting Islam”: “We grew up from childhood hating, cursing Jews”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 01:00 pm

This will only come as a surprise to those who are unaware that the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); […]

Al-Qaeda top dog calls for jihad against “the infidels and the corruption they spread”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 12:00 pm

“If you want Jihad to be focused solely on military targets, the American military has presence all over the world, from the East to the West. Your countries are littered with American bases, with all the infidels therein and the corruption they spread.” Islamic apologists, both Muslim and non-Muslim, insist that jihad is an interior […]

Turks irked as Lebanon’s Aoun says Ottoman occupation was marked by repression and injustice
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 11:00 am

Dhimmis learn the lesson quickly: if you complain about your lot, it will go even worse for you. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages […]

DC: Muslim researcher complains that war on terror was “rooted in Islamophobia” and “exclusively targeted Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 09:00 am

“The goal is to really underscore how the war on terror is so rooted in Islamophobia and to really lift up the story of the ways that Muslims have been impacted.” The irony here is that for the most part, the “war on terror” scrupulously avoided even the appearance of “Islamophobia” by dissembling about and […]

Non-Muslim Islamic scholar discovers that the Qur’an teaches that non-Muslims can go to Paradise
By Robert Spencer on Sep 14, 2019 08:00 am

I respect Dr. Daniel Peterson. Years ago, I debated him at FreedomFest in Las Vegas on “Islam: Threat or Not?”: In this article, Dr. Peterson criticizes some common translations of Qur’an 3:19 and 3:85, which say that only Muslims will go to Paradise, and offers softer wording that allows for non-Muslims to enter. This is […]
