And then law enforcement authorities and the mainstream media will start searching for his […] Read in browser »   Robert Spencer, PJ Media: Islamic texts justify sex slavery By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 06:39 pm Over at PJ Media today I discuss the justifications for sex slavery that are unfortunately found in Islamic texts: “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God. … He said that raping me is his prayer to […] Read in browser » “We must be free to hurt Muslims’ feelings” By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 02:14 pm Brendan O’Neill doesn’t mention the jihad attack on our AFDI free speech in Garland, Texas, last May in this otherwise good defense of the freedom of speech — perhaps the truths we tell about jihad and Islamic supremacism are too much for Spiked even as it defends the right to air views that are outside […] Read in browser » Mississippi paper: It would be “ignorant” to be suspicious of jihadi’s mosque By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 01:50 pm The facts of the case are these: Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla and his wife, Amira al-Amriki, were arrested while trying to travel to the Islamic State. Muhammad’s father, Oda Dakhlalla, is the imam of the Islamic Center of Mississippi in Starkville.

They have been driven back from some of the territory they controlled at the beginning of this year, but are still able to commit mass murder for their bloodthirsty god. “Blast kills around 50 […] Read in browser » Imam converts to Christianity; Muslims beat and jail him, and burn his house down By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 01:14 pm Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent Muslim […] Read in browser » Bishop murdered for refusing to convert to Islam to be beatified By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 12:49 pm Nowadays Bishop Flavien-Michel Malké’s feckless successors among the U.S. Catholic bishops bow and scrape before the children and heirs of those who killed him, silencing those who speak out about the Muslim persecution of Christians and consigning today’s new martyrs to their fate, sacrificing them on the altar of their fruitless, delusional and self-defeating quest […] Read in browser » Australia: Son of jailed Muslim cleric stopped from heading to Syria By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 12:29 pm Bakr Benbrika’s “father was convicted of leading a homegrown terror cell.” But Bakr “frequented a northern suburbs mosque,” and “his mother has provided Islamic lessons.” Why is that? We’re constantly told that all Muslims in the West reject and abhor jihad terror. Why, then, wasn’t Bakr Benbrika cast out of the mosque by the Vast […] Read in browser » Islamic State murders 76 with bomb at market in Baghdad Shi’ite neighborhood By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 12:17 pm “The market in the Shi’ite neighborhood is one of the biggest in Baghdad selling wholesale food items. A Reuters witness at the site saw fruit and vegetables mixed with shrapnel littering the blood-soaked blast crater.” And the Islamic State jihadis were pleased with this act of piety and service to their god. “Islamic State claims […] Read in browser » Islamic State posts list of 1,400 U.S. targets By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 10:47 am “We are extracting confidential data, and passing on your personal information to the soldiers of the khilafah, who soon with the permission of Allah will strike at your necks in your own lands!” As this article notes, they’re trying to inspire more lone wolf jihad attacks by individual Muslims — and because of the power […] Read in browser » Brooklyn: Muslim pleads guilty to aiding jihad terror group By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 10:28 am “This case, like many others before it, has shown that the application of lawful surveillance can allow the United States government to detect and neutralize a terrorist in the United States.” And that lawful surveillance is just what Leftists and Islamic supremacists such as Linda Sarsour and the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations want to […] Read in browser » Iran says the nuke deal will help it target Israel By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 08:37 am Zarif isn’t even bothering to hide Iran’s intentions. The deal is done. He knows he has John Kerry in his pocket, and that nothing can stop the mullahs now. “Iran says the nuke deal will help it target Israel,” New York Post, August 13, 2015 (thanks to Eli): President Obama says his nuclear deal with […] Read in browser » Mississippi Islamic State jihadi is son of imam By Robert Spencer on Aug 14, 2015 07:57 am His father is shocked!, shocked! that his son would want to join the Islamic State, but as Daniel Greenfield points out here, the son doesn’t seem to have had a bad relationship with the father. Neither seems to have rejected the other for being a bad Muslim. Is it really likely that the son forsook […] Read in browser » Jamie Glazov Moment – Our Stockholm Syndrome With Islam By Jamie Glazov on Aug 14, 2015 07:44 am In this new Jamie Glazov Moment, I discuss Our Stockholm Syndrome With Islam, wondering how long we will continue to empathize with — and defend — our abusers and potential executioners.
