CAIR Demands Firing of Barista Who Called a Woman Named Aishah ‘ISIS’ My latest in PJ Media: If anti-Muslim hate crimes do not exist, they must be invented. They’re simply too politically useful to do without. And so it is that the Minnesota chapter of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) held a press conference Monday to demand the firing of a Starbucks barista who was […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer Jewish Federations are Promoting a Farrakhan Fan Who Told Jews to “Go F___ Themselves” Your local Jewish Community Center is helping Chelsea Handler sell books. “It was powerful for me the way he spelled it out,” Chelsea Handler said of Louis Farrakhan. “So whatever, you know, everybody can go f___ themselves.” Handler, a comedian pushing a new book, was responding to the backlash over her praise for the racist […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Daniel Greenfield Turkey: Muslim breaks into venerable Armenian Orthodox cathedral, recites Islamic call to prayer Legend has it that when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem in the year 637, Sophronius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, invited the caliph Umar to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

The only clues are that the arrests took place in East London, a heavily Muslim area, and that […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer Texas Border Patrol agents nab three Muslims from Iran trying to cross illegally into US What could they possibly have been planning? No doubt they just wanted to do the jobs that Americans refuse to take, right? While Leftists continue to deny that border control is a national security issue, recently a Muslim migrant from Jordan named Moayad Heider Mohammad Aldairi was sentenced to three years in prison for sneaking […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer Australia: Muslima in coronavirus lockdown complains that the free food she received wasn’t halal Even the Qur’an allows Muslims to eat non-halal food in cases of necessity: “And why should you not eat of that on which Allah’s name has been pronounced, while he has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity?” (6:119) But it isn’t good enough for this young […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer Erdogan signs decree turning Hagia Sophia into a mosque Russia and Greece, as well as the US, France, and others, have stated their opposition to Hagia Sophia becoming a mosque.

He appears to be much more concerned to […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer Turkish court rules that Ataturk had no right to convert Hagia Sophia from a mosque to a museum Hagia Sophia is almost certain to be declared a mosque soon.

We cannot stop at criminal justice system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.” Here is the oath Rashida […] Read more 2020-07-10  •  Robert Spencer
