Islamic State in Syria plans to boobytrap bras with bombs
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 05:00 pm

This is diabolically clever, as it is one area that the enemies of these jihadis are unlikely to search. “ISIS plan to attack SAS troops in Syria with suicide bombs in bras,” by Paul Hooper, Mirror, October 16, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): ISIS plan to attack SAS troops in Syria with suicide […]

Bangladesh: Thousands of Muslims riot, throw rocks at cops over Facebook post by Hindu allegedly defaming Muhammad
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 04:00 pm

The alleged blasphemer has been duly arrested. The response of authorities the world over to riots of this kind is call for or place restrictions upon the freedom of speech, not to try to educate the rioters to accept the fact that there will always be people who disagree with them, and hence points of […]

India: Muslim cleric issues fatwa against firecrackers, says they’re un-Islamic and selling them is haram
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 03:00 pm

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]

UK: Armed Muslim mob attacks group of tree surgeons who were in their “country,” severs man’s hand
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 02:00 pm

“They had been summoned by Habibur Rahman, 27, who called the victims ‘white b******s’ who were in his ‘country’, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.” Habibur Rahman described his targets in racial terms, but there is no doubt that if one of those victims had told Rahman that he was Muslim, he wouldn’t have been attacked.

Muslima who stabbed two prison guards worked for boss of UK charity that gave millions to mosques
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 01:00 pm

And what is being taught in those mosques? Is anyone looking into that? Or would such an investigation be too “Islamophobic” for British officials, and divert too much manpower away from their investigations of people who have said rude things to Muslims? “Revealed: Woman killed during jihadi prison attack worked for British charity boss,” by […]

Muslim convicted of plotting jihad massacres at UN, FBI offices and NYC landmarks deported to Sudan
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 12:00 pm

If you want sane immigration controls for jihadi hotspots, you’re a “racist,” right? Never mind this fellow. Never mind Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry, who in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; or Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in […]

Turkish-backed militia in Syria: “We’ve come to behead you, you infidels, you apostates”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 11:00 am

This proves that Trump should have kept US forces in Syria, right? This proves that if he had, the Turks and their allies would not have been emboldened to advance, right? In reality, it proves just the opposite. As the President himself pointed out, there has been violence in the Middle East for centuries. There […]

French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner’s recent revelation, discussed in the last hour, that “60 attacks have been foiled since 2013 and every week people are arrested,” recalled some statements of his predecessor Gérard Collomb, who is now mayor of Lyon, and who knows as much as anyone about France’s internal security situation. Collomb gave an […]

France: After 9/11-style plot thwarted, official says “60 attacks foiled since 2013, every week people are arrested”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 09:00 am

This revelation demonstrates how deformed the public discourse has become all over the West. These foiled attacks are by jihadis; Castaner doesn’t say that, but there is no doubt of its truth. France is not plagued by violent “right-wing extremists.” But discussion of terrorism all over the free world centers today on those “right-wing extremists,” […]

Maldives: Group ordered to suspend activities for “slandering Islam” in report noting Friday sermons teaching hate
By Robert Spencer on Oct 21, 2019 08:00 am

A glimpse into the future of the West, including the United States. “The government said last week that there is widespread public condemnation of the report because of ‘content slandering Islam and Prophet Mohamed.’ The report examined school text books for each grade on how Islam is taught and how some Friday sermons allegedly incited […]
