By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 05:00 pm

“Prosecutor Munam Bashir Chaudhry told AFP Ali’s case is the first to be tried under a section of the cybercrime laws, which were passed in 2016, pertaining to hate speech.” Such laws are coming to the United States, courtesy of the Left. This article demonstrates that they are just a means by which Sharia blasphemy […]

UK: Shi’ites demand removal of BBC documentary on temporary marriage, it’s “disrespectful” to Shi’ite Islam
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 04:00 pm

Shi’ites justify temporary marriage, mutah, by their reading of Qur’an 4:24: And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not […]

UK: Muslim migrant hit-and-run driver who severely injured two teens is freed early, won’t be deported
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 03:00 pm

Of course he won’t be deported. The British authorities clearly want people like Hadi Hamid in the country. Their behavior has been consistent. The Home Office some time ago banned Martin Sellner, Brittany Pettibone, Lauren Southern and Lutz Bachmann from entering, all for the crime of opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression, and thereby made […]

France: After Paris jihad massacre and 9/11-style plot, leading intellectuals urge action against “Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 02:00 pm

Not against Islamic jihad terrorism, but against “Islamophobia.” That means they will get more of the former, and less of the latter, including honest analysis of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, which is routinely stigmatized as “Islamophobia.” France is finished. “Leading French figures urge action against Islamophobia,” Yeni Safak, October 16, 2019: […]

France: Deputy editor of Le Figaro condemned for saying everyone has the “right to hate religion”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 12:00 pm

A religion is a set of ideas. Ideas can and should be evaluated on their merits, that is, their truth or falsehood. If Yves Thréard had said that everyone has a right to hate Christianity, or Judaism, he would be hailed as a “courageous” thinker whose right to free speech should be upheld. But the […]

India: Muslim group says it murdered Hindu leader because he “tried to defame Islam and Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 11:00 am

“More to come.” Oh, no doubt about that. And due to the Left’s pusillanimity and willingness to accept Sharia blasphemy laws under the guise of “hate speech” prohibitions, this kind of thing is coming to the West as well. It won’t start with violence against “blasphemers.” But it will end with it. “Kamlesh Tiwari murder: […]

By Andrew Harrod on Oct 19, 2019 09:00 am

New Zealand: Crusaders rugby team drops sword from logo because of Christchurch mosque massacres
By Robert Spencer on Oct 19, 2019 08:00 am

Oh, was it Crusaders who attacked the Christchurch mosques? I hadn’t realized. Changing this logo, and certainly the team name is not long for this world, is a sign of the acceptance of the idea that Westerners should be ashamed of the Crusades. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS proves otherwise. It demonstrates […]
