By Robert Spencer on Oct 27, 2019 02:00 pm

The Washington Post has now changed this headline, apparently after receiving torrents of ridicule for it, but consider this: imagine if a prominent foe of jihad terror died, and the Washington Post was writing about his death.

ISIS supporters: “The manifestation and continuation of this religion does not reside on the shoulders of people”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 27, 2019 01:00 pm

As I noted here early this morning, “it hardly matters whether he is dead or alive.” This is because jihadis don’t turn to jihad because they’re following some charismatic leader.

By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 27, 2019 10:00 am

The conviction of yet another Muslim rape gang recalls the dispiriting tale of Ella Hill: “As a survivor of the Rotherham grooming gang, I am scared by racism and hate crime in Brexit Britain.” Here, alas, we go again.
