Al Jazeera 4th of July video mocks Americans as fat, pill-popping racists
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2015 10:55 pm

Islamic State video: Reward for jihad doubled in Ramadan
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2015 09:19 pm

Note also the bit about how the jihadis get up every morning and read the Qur’an. One might almost get the impression that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have John Kerry and David Cameron to assure us to the contrary.

By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2015 08:57 pm

“They have been put under humiliation wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims.

Nigeria: Muslim murders 5 with jihad suicide bombing in church
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2015 12:23 pm

The “interfaith dialogue” that the U.S. Catholic bishops, as well as Protestant groups, are pursuing so assiduously with Muslim leaders, has proven itself to be absolutely ineffective in stopping these attacks — and the bishops are criminally abandoning the victims of such attacks to their fate by silencing all discussion of why these kinds of […]
