Israel and the “Palestinians”: It’s Time for a Reset
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 06:00 pm

The old saying goes: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Our policy toward Israel and the “Palestinians” is, by that definition, quite spectacularly insane. It’s time for an honest and realistic analysis of the problem, and a genuine reset of our policies. Find out what must […]

Atlanta Braves Suffer Catastrophic Defeat After Kowtowing to the Left on Tomahawk Chop
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 05:00 pm

This story is not about jihad, except for the kowtowing to the Left part. My latest in PJ Media: The Atlanta Braves long ago retired Chief Noc-a-Homa, who used to emerge from a teepee in the outfield stands and do a dance every time a Braves player hit a home run, but they’re still not […]

Australia: Imams say media shouldn’t have mentioned that boy who forced Jewish boy to kiss his shoes was Muslim
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 04:00 pm

What is astonishing is that the establishment media did actually report that the thug was Muslim. Ordinarily the media elites seem to consider it their first and foremost priority to make sure that no one thinks ill of Islam, and thus to cover up and obfuscate, and in some cases deny outright, the roots of […]

Finland: Politician fined $4500 for noting that jihad terrorists “have one thing in common: they all serve Allah”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 03:00 pm

Not only is the Left at war with reality, but it demands that people who are still sane accept its fantasies, on pain of pecuniary or other punishment. Jihad terrorists are indeed all Muslim and believe that they are serving Allah. So what exactly did Sebastian Tynkkynen say that was wrong? Nothing, but his statement […]

UK: Muslim cleric from US says thieves’ hands should be amputated, but only in Muslim world
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 02:00 pm

Sure, but what makes the amputation of thieves’ hands acceptable in the Muslim world but not in the UK? It’s a Qur’anic command (5:38). Abu Usamah At-Thahabi’s answer would probably be that Britain is not a Sharia state or even a majority-Muslim country, and so Islamic law cannot be fully enforced. But if Muslims become […]

Germany: Muslim migrant forced girlfriend to live by the Qur’an, beat her savagely when she disobeyed
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 01:00 pm

We reported at Jihad Watch on a similar case in Germany just days ago, involving another Muslim migrant who brutally beat his wife. Danke, Merkel! “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard […]

France: Journalist who found that Paris jihadi was convert to Islam sanctioned for saying it could be jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 12:00 pm

The Left’s war with reality drives it farther into insanity every day. Clement Weill-Raynal discovered that Paris jihad murderer Mickaël Harpon was a convert to Islam and said on the air that the attack could be jihad. For that, his employers are threatening him. It was a jihad attack, so they should be thanking him […]

“Activists of the Observatory of the Secularism in Paris’s no-go suburbs have expressed outrage after police took the side of a Muslim woman illegally wearing a full-face veil following an altercation.” The battle to preserve Western civilization continues to rage in France, and the reaction by the Observatory of the Secularism is a sign that […]

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 13, 2019 10:00 am

In Bologna, the Catholic diocese recently decided that for the Feast of San Petronio this year, there would be no pork-filled tortellini. Though these tortellini are the pride of Bolognese cuisine, Archbishop Matteo Zuppi (just chosen by Pope Francis to be a cardinal) decided that the Church did not want in any way to offend […]

Department of Education says Duke-UNC program must include other religions, not just “positive aspects of Islam”
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 13, 2019 09:00 am

“The Department of Education maintained that the joint Duke University-University of North Carolina program needs to ‘expand’ to include more religions beyond Islam to fulfill federal grant funding requirements.” The problem is that the Duke-UNC program has been disproportionately presenting “the positive aspects of Islam, while there is an absolute absence of any similar focus […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 13, 2019 08:30 am

Give it a week or so. “Paris Police ‘Disarmed’ After Suspicions of Islamic Radicalisation,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, October 12, 2019: Two Muslim Paris police officers have had their weapons taken away from them, with one suspended from duty, after allegations that the pair may […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 13, 2019 08:00 am

“Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party says it won’t take action against one of its candidates in Nova Scotia who called Islam ‘pure evil’ and ‘not compatible with democracy’ in numerous social media posts.” The problem in Canada, especially under anti-Islamophobia Motion M103 — which is intended to intimidate critics of Islam — is that people are […]
