I’ll Drink to That: Captain Morgan Website Asks Visitors to Affirm They’re Non-Muslim
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 05:00 pm

My latest in PJ Media: Were they drunk? Last week it was discovered that the U.S. website of rum brand Captain Morgan was asking visitors to check a box confirming that they were “non-Muslim.” After the box became a focus of controversy, it was quickly removed, but questions remain. The UK’s Metro newspaper says that the […]

UK: Foes of proposed mosque cite traffic, parking concerns, mosque supporters cry “Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 04:00 pm

“The flyer asks neighbours to object to the plans because of fears surrounding congestion and parking, residential disturbance and the loss of employment space.” If there were a flyer objecting to a proposed church because of fears surrounding congestion and parking, residential disturbance and the loss of employment space, would the authors of the flyer […]

Boris Johnson planned to send special forces into Syria to bring 30 Islamic State children back to UK
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 03:00 pm

Luckily, Johnson’s plan was blocked by his cabinet, but Lord, what fools these Infidels be. What could possibly have gone wrong with this plan? Plenty. Many of the children of Islamic State jihadis have themselves been trained to hate and kill, and to see the world as a battleground between Muslims and unbelievers. What are […]

Saddam Hussein bribed Jacques Chirac with $6,150,000 to get France to oppose the Iraq War
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 02:00 pm

Chirac was right to oppose the war, which was directed at the wrong foe, one who had not attacked us on 9/11. It failed to confront the real causes of the 9/11 jihad attacks, which have still not been confronted. But the really interesting aspect of this story is that it raises another question: how […]

Turkey: Newspaper falsely claims that Hindus in India murdered a Muslim for killing a cow
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 01:00 pm

There simply aren’t enough actual incidents to support the Muslim victimhood narrative that gets Muslim communities so much special consideration, and deflects counterterror efforts, so such incidents have to be invented. “Turkish Daily Reported a Man Killed by Hindu Mob in a ‘Cow-Lynching’ Was Muslim: False,” Polygraph.info, September 26, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of […]

Somalia: “The mujahideen stormed the military complex, engaging the crusaders in an intense firefight”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 12:00 pm

Those opposing the U.S. and its allies call themselves jihadis and their foes crusaders. The U.S., meanwhile, denies that they are crusaders, which is fair enough, and that its opponents are jihadis, which is pure wishful thinking. To refuse to understand the enemy’s perspective is to bring defeat upon oneself. “Jihadists ‘Storm’ U.S. Air Base, […]

Afghanistan: Pro-Sharia Muslims injure 15 with jihad bomb outside mosque used as polling station
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 11:00 am

The Taliban consider voting to be a sinful act. Law comes from Allah and is not subject to disagreement or consensus. Voting is a feature of societies built on mandmade law, which the Taliban don’t consider Sharia to be. Does the administration really think that they can conduct fruitful negotiations with people who believe these […]

Sylvia Chan-Malik Celebrates Her Very Own Islam
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 30, 2019 10:00 am

Sylvia Chan-Malik is a Rutgers professor and a convert, it appears, to Ahmadiyya Islam. Last year she welcomed the spiritual head of the Ahmadis, who came to the U.S. to open new Ahmadi mosques and meet with members of the Ahmadi community. As the Ahmadiyya community in the US prepares to receive its caliph, or […]

Islamic State propagandist has no regrets, yet wants to return to Canada, but not to be judged by Canadian law
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 09:00 am

“In terms of actually being a part of the Islamic State, I don’t regret that. The fact that I’m a prisoner doesn’t mean that I change my beliefs. It doesn’t mean that I change my position with regards to my religion, with regards to the Sharia.” Canadian authorities would be fools to let him back […]

Pakistan: University bans boys and girls walking together on campus, says it’s un-Islamic
By Robert Spencer on Sep 30, 2019 08:00 am

But remember: Sharia is completely compatible with Western culture and values, and anyone who suggests otherwise is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Meanwhile, what fun these Sharia supremacists will have when they get to European and American universities. “This Pakistan University bans boys, girls walking together on campus, says it’s un-Islamic,” by Madhuri Adnal, One India, […]
