JIHAD WATCH 08/07/2020

University at Buffalo to remove Millard Fillmore’s name from campus because of “systemic racism” It isn’t surprising that this ugly little episode in the Left’s ongoing efforts to erase our history and make us ashamed of being Americans would happen at the University at Buffalo, where everything that is wrong with academic life in America today thrives and is praised. I spoke there a few years ago, or tried […] Read more 2020-08-06  •  Robert Spencer Video: Robert Spencer on the significance of the conversion of Hagia Sophia and more A wide-ranging interview with ex-Muslim Steve Mashni, streamed on Tuesday.

Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah […] Read more 2020-08-06  •  Robert Spencer Hizballah top dog Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast What a remarkable coincidence. Could there possibly be some connection between Hizballah and this blast, which many are insisting was an accident? If there is, will we ever know that for sure, or will it be obscured for fear of “Islamophobia”? “Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast,” by Seth […] Read more 2020-08-06  •  Robert Spencer Hizballah kept three metric tons of ammonium nitrate, the explosive behind Beirut blast, in London storehouse “The ammonium nitrate was to be used for ‘proper organized terrorism’ and could have caused ‘a lot of damage.'” Yet in London, Toronto, and elsewhere in the West, Muslims have openly displayed the Hizballah flag, with no fear of attracting unwanted law enforcement attention. They know Western authorities are weak and terrified above all things […] Read more 2020-08-06  •  Robert Spencer Ilhan Omar: ‘I Seen My Opportunities, and I Took ‘Em’ Indifferent to past criticism of her practice of using most of her campaign funds to pay her husband for political consultancy work — which effectively means to pay herself – Ilhan Omar continues her scandalous self-dealing.
