India: Four Muslims, including an imam, arrested for hiding explosives inside a mosque, “something big” was planned
By Robert Spencer on Nov 15, 2019 12:00 pm

An imam? Wait, what? There must be some mistake. How could someone who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively somehow get the idea that Islam commands violence against unbelievers?

“We will be blessed now with readings from various sacred texts, including the Bible, the Torah and the Koran.” How wonderful. Did the readings from the Qur’an include any of these passages? “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But […]

Revealed: 100 Senators and Representatives who sent letters of support to Hamas-linked CAIR
By Robert Spencer on Nov 15, 2019 08:00 am

The list is from the Investigative Project on Terrorism. Yes, it starts with #2; I don’t know why.
