NYC: Muslima who attacked Jewish woman while screaming “Allahu akbar” was also citing anti-Semitic Qur’an passages Will this lead people to stop waving away the problematic passages of the Qur’an by noting that the Bible has troubling passages, too, and bring them to examine the incitement to violence that the Qur’an contains? Of course not. An update on this story. “NYC woman indicted for hate crime after attacking Israeli,” Ynet News, […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Robert Spencer Turkey’s Interior Minister: New migrant wave will cause European governments to fall and stock markets to collapse How is this new migrant influx not an act of war? “Turkey on Migrant Wave: European Govts Will Fall, Stock Markets Will Collapse,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, March 9, 2020: The Turkish president’s Minister of the Interior, Süleyman Soylu, has predicted that mass migration across the Greek border will change Europe’s governments, bring down their economies, […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Robert Spencer Michigan: Imam who spoke at Bernie rally said in 2015 that Sanders was “an honorable man, even though he is a Jew” If this receives any coverage at all, it will focus on Bernie and his condemnation of anti-Semitism. No one at all will consider the implications of Hassan Qazwini’s casually enunciated anti-Semitism, which he clearly assumes his audience will share. And why is that? Could it be because of what is written in the Qur’an?

Why would images from elsewhere have to be presented as if they were from Delhi? Were images of actual anti-Muslim violence so rare that they had to be fabricated, as we have seen among […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Robert Spencer Australia: Muslim stabs four people at random, killing two, cops say “zero evidence” it’s terrorism related “Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir said there was ‘zero evidence’ to suggest the attacks were terrorism related. Ibrahim had no criminal history and was estranged from the mother of his child.” It may be that these attacks were not terrorism related.

So last year, when I had heart failure and multiple organ failure, I received several emails […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Robert Spencer Secretary General of Muslim World League: There is no place for political Islam in France or anywhere else The Secretary General of the Muslim World League, Muhammad Bin Abdul Karim Issa, has denounced “political Islam,” stating that it has no place in France or anywhere else. An obvious question: when does Bin Abdul Karim Issa intend to denounce the Islamic governments of two Shi’ite and Sunni countries? Iran and Saudi Arabia both implement […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Iran Spreads the Coronavirus Throughout the Middle East (Part 1) In a recent BESA paper, Dr. Hillel Frisch presents the evidence that the coronavirus has spread from Iran throughout the “Shiite crescent,” a diffusion that testifies not to the Iranian government’s geopolitical power but to its incompetence and weakness in dealing with the epidemic. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Shiite communities are regarded by the Islamic Republic as […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Hugh Fitzgerald The world must know the truth: Delhi unrest was a genocidal anti-Hindu riot, not the other way around With a death toll of fewer than 60, the Delhi unrest has been exalted as a Muslim “pogrom” by politicians and comedians alike. “Widespread anti-Muslim mob violence,” says Bernie Sanders. India’s Prime Minister was “ethnically cleansing” India’s “religious minorities”, declares an equally India-illiterate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Both are trying to attract votes of Muslim Americans by […] Read more 2020-03-13  •  Radhika Singh Iran: Amid coronavirus pandemonium, protesters raise banner saying “Mullah’s virus is decimating Iran’s youth” “The Iranian government was aware many weeks ago that it had a problem on its hands, but paranoid and determined at all times to project a false image of invincibility, it did what it typically does.
