UK: Al-Qaeda propagandist’s lush £1 million mansion paid for by taxpayers
By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 08:33 pm

The UK banned Pamela Geller and me from entering the country. The Home Office’s letter to me said I was being banned for noting that Islam had a doctrine of violence against unbelievers, which is like being banned for saying grass is green. But for Hani al-Sibai, an al-Qaeda propagandist and mentor of jihad murderer […]

UK: Labour leader says his government will criminalize “Islamophobia”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 08:02 pm

“We are going to make it an aggravated crime. We are going to make sure it is marked on people’s records with the police to make sure they root out Islamophobia as a hate crime.” The problem is that Islamic supremacists, apparently deliberately, conflate “Islamophobia” meaning attacks on innocent Muslims, which are never justified, with […]

Al-Shabaab mulling switching allegiance from al-Qaeda to Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 07:09 pm

Thinking about backing the strong horse. “Why is it a surprise to hear that Shabaab may join the Islamic State? All Muslims have to unite against their enemy,” said a Shabaab commander. This statement, however, will be completely ignored by most analysts, secure as they are in their delusion that all this has nothing to […]

Doonesbury’s Trudeau: “I certainly wouldn’t draw pictures of the prophet”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 06:43 pm

Hard-Left cartoonist Garry Trudeau here attempts to clarify earlier remarks he made blaming the victims for the Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre. However, he only ends up digging the hole deeper and affirming his submission to violent intimidation and implicit acceptance of Sharia blasphemy laws. Jihad Watch reader Bill informs me that in the full interview, […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 08:09 am

He has also recently said that “Islam is a religion of peace, love and compassion.” “Speaking about Taliban and the Islamic State or Daesh militant groups, the Imam said that those who misinterpret the Quran and apply Quranic verses about infidels on other Muslims are ‘Khwarij.'” The Khawarij were an early Muslim sect that was […]

New York Daily News: AFDI ad criticizing Hamas is “outrageous drivel” that “would offend many Muslims”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 07:52 am

It is no doubt guided by Society of Professional Journalists policy that requires journalists never to state or imply any link between Islam and terrorism, but for Leftist journalists (i.e., almost all of them) these days, it’s a kneejerk reaction: when they see an Islamic jihadist vowing blood and murder, they immediately frame it in […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 07:11 am

What will these children be like when (if) they grow up? Not to worry. Doubtless John Kerry is already on his way to Mosul to explain to them how they’re getting the Qur’an, the Book of Peace, all wrong. “Children in Mosul Preach Jihad in ISIS Video,” MEMRI, April 22, 2015: In a video released […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 26, 2015 06:56 am

“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]
