End the Hoax: There Are No Palestinians The “Palestinian people” is a propaganda fiction. It’s time to stop playing along. My latest in FrontPage: President Trump’s “Deal of the Century” was a brilliant illustration of his mastery of the art of the deal. This extravagantly generous proposal, and the Palestinians’ contemptuous rejection of it, severely damages the international Left’s claim that the […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer Iran’s new Quds Force top dog: “The Islamic Republic is prepared to defeat” Trump’s peace plan What is needed in order to defeat a plan that has already been rejected by one side is unclear. But it’s noteworthy that Iran thinks it has anything to say about this plan at all. Iran has no geopolitical stake in this agreement or its rejection. Its only interest stems from Islam. This shows once […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer Democrats call Trump “racist” again as he adds six new countries to “outrageous, un-American” travel ban The Trump administration contends that the bans are for security reasons, that the countries in question cannot or will not provide adequate information about the people wanting to come in. This is entirely reasonable, but for the Left, concern for national security is “racist” and must be done away with. “Democrats attack Trump as racist […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer UK: London jihadi said the Qur’an made it permissible to take Yazidi women as slaves and rape them The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their dowries, and […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer UK: London jihadi’s mother says “he became more religious inside prison” Prisons in the UK have been breeding grounds for jihadis for years. No one wants to do anything about it, because that would mean restricting Islamic practice, and that would be “Islamophobic.” Meanwhile, Sudesh Amman’s mum is giving the whole game away. We are constantly told that anyone who believes that jihad terrorists have anything […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer UK: Muslim who stabbed two while screaming “Allahu akbar” wanted his girlfriend to behead her parents What better way to show one’s love? “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) “Man shot dead by British police wanted girlfriend to behead her parents,” by Michael Holden, Reuters, February 2, 2020: LONDON (Reuters) – The man shot dead by police after wounding two people in a stabbing spree on a […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer UK: Muslim who stabbed two while screaming “Allahu akbar” was freed from prison just days ago While he was in prison, nothing whatsoever was done to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments. To have attempted to do any such thing would have been “Islamophobic.” And so he went out and pursued his jihad. And even after this, despite all the tough talk that we hear after every jihad attack, nothing whatsoever […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer Palestinians Are “Disappointed” In Initial Arab Response — Arab League Then Rejects the Trump Plan (Part 1) There was deep disappointment among the Palestinian leaders with the initial response of the Arabs to the Trump peace-and-prosperity plan. Their complaint can be read here. A senior official in the Palestinian Authority has spoken of Ramallah’s disappointment in Arab nations’ muted and sometimes-supportive response to the contentious US proposal for solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Sweden: Muslim who plotted jihad massacre at newspaper that published Muhammad cartoons is released What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity! “Islamic Terrorist Who Plotted Danish Newspaper Massacre Released in Sweden,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, February 1, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): A radical Islamic extremist who plotted to massacre the staff of Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten in 2010 has been released by Swedish authorities, despite plotting more […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer Germany: Muslim migrant sexually assaults two teen girls, threatens to set them on fire Why does this keep happening? A survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has previously said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants in France raped a girl and videoed the rape while praising Allah and […] Read more 2020-02-03  •  Robert Spencer
