And so even as the British Parliament condemned Old Joe for his catastrophic […] Read more 2021-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Taliban Spox Gives Epic Response When Asked About Free Speech: ‘Ask Facebook’ My latest in PJ Media: Old Joe Biden’s handlers have done a great deal for the Taliban in the last week, but one thing they can’t do is ensure that the jihad group receives the same kind of fawning, sycophantic press treatment that the Biden administration gets here at home, or at least did up […] Read more 2021-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Taliban leaders freely used Twitter and Facebook’s WhatsApp as they took power in Afghanistan According to Reuters, “The Taliban’s rapid takeover of Afghanistan poses a new challenge for big U.S. tech companies on handling content created by a group considered to be terrorists by some world governments.” The challenge really isn’t about “handling content” at all.

Qatar is now further parading its duplicity by calling on the Taliban to protect civilians.

Perhaps Pope Francis will head to Kabul soon to explain to the Taliban that “authentic Islam and the […] Read more 2021-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Burkina Faso: Muslims murder 47 people in jihad attack on town Jihadis emboldened everywhere. “Jihadist attack in Burkina Faso kills 47 people,” Agence France-Presse, August 19, 2021: Burkina Faso’s president has declared three days of national mourning after suspected jihadists killed 47 people, including 30 civilians, in an attack in the north of the country.
