Shopify Bans Trump Store. Has the Marginalization of Trump Support Begun? My latest in PJ Media: “What will happen next is obvious,” wrote Ben Domenech in the Transom: “A total crushing anti-Free Speech effort that treats Trump-supporting groups like Branch Davidians.” Indeed. In fact, it has already begun: on Thursday morning, according to journalist Walter Bloomberg, “Trump Organization’s http://TrumpStore.com Is Taken Offline by Shopify; Trump Campaign’s […] Read more 2021-01-09  •  Robert Spencer Iran’s Quds Force top dog: Trump and others ‘better learn the secretive lifestyle that Salman Rushdie has’ No problem. Biden will reenter the Iranian nuclear deal and all will be well and all manner of thing will be well, and the mullahs and the U.S. government oligarchy will lock arms and march together into the glorious multicultural future. “Iranian press review: Soleimani killers should ‘live like Salman Rushdie,'” Middle East Eye, January […] Read more 2021-01-09  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan: Three people condemned to death for ‘blasphemy’ in social media posts A glimpse into the future of the West. This is where the Left’s “hate speech” rhetoric is tending. We are very close to this now, far closer than most people realize. Supporters of the President are defamed and smeared now, but for years, critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others have […] Read more 2021-01-09  •  Robert Spencer Congo: ‘Now we live in total fear, with no certainty about the future’ as Muslims murder 22 in raid on village Why do I write “Muslims” when Reuters writes “militants” who are part of an “Islamist group”?

But while Iain Duncan Smith’s point about the “totalitarian woke state” coming to […] Read more 2021-01-09  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan’s Khan: We can’t recognize Israel, ‘the situation in Kashmir is exactly the same situation in Palestine’ Forget any hope of Pakistan normalizing relations with Israel. First, it would need to accept Israel as a Jewish state. But Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has just declared that Pakistan will not recognize Israel. He compared the conflict between Pakistan and India over the disputed territory of Kashmir with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The only […] Read more 2021-01-09  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Austria implements mandatory registration of all imams, calls for EU to do the same  Austria has implemented the mandatory registration of imams as part of a list of anti-terrorism measures.
