Nice truck jihadi had accomplices, plotted for months
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2016 03:32 pm

Where are all the mainstream media sources now? The ones who claimed that Bouhlel was not a Muslim, and was just a poor or reckless driver? “The prosecutor said he had placed the five people – an Albanian couple, a Tunisian man and two Franco-Tunisian men – under formal investigation after they were taken into […]

Malaysian Islamic leader: “Islam…ironically, is a peace-loving religion”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2016 03:26 pm

Irony of ironies! Ruslan Said says that the Islamic State is un-Islamic, but, at least in this report, gave no details, and did not explain how this misunderstanding of Islam spread throughout the world. He doesn’t explain how the Islamic State is un-Islamic — is it the beheadings? No, that’s in the Qur’an (8:12, 47:4). […]

Islamic State celebrates Nice jihad slaughter with beheadings
By Christine Williams on Jul 21, 2016 03:13 pm

Islamic State jihadists shed more blood to celebrate the Bastille Day massacre, and they videotaped it. The video, described as horridly gruesome — even by IS standards — incorporates music into its presentation. It shows badly wounded babies, followed by jihadists with serrated knives about to behead two terrified-looking captives in red, prison-like jumpsuits. They behead […]

Tyrannical Erdogan to be awarded sweeping new powers after failed coup attempt
By Christine Williams on Jul 21, 2016 02:51 pm

The President of Turkey’s dissenters range from a 16-year-old arrested for insulting him to a former Miss Turkey who was punished for sharing a poem critical of the Turkish president. In fact, free speech is now being rebranded as a form of terrorism. It’s part of a troubling pattern in Turkey, where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is becoming increasingly tyrannical […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Berbers and Islam as a Vehicle for Arab Supremacism (Part I)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 21, 2016 02:42 pm

In Algeria, before the Arab invasion and conquest in the seventh century, the population was almost entirely Berber, and along with those who followed traditional Berber religious practices, a considerable Christian population (St. Augustine, he of Hippo, was a Berber) flourished. When the Arabs swept in, subjugating the Berbers, they brought with them an Islam […]

Egypt: Top Islamic institution preaches “religious freedom” to West, while supporting death penalty for apostates at home
By Raymond Ibrahim on Jul 21, 2016 10:41 am

In a statement titled, “The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies Calls on Al Azhar’s Sheikh to Renounce His Remarks Which Contradict Religious Freedom and Support Violent Extremism,” the institute blasted Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb’s recent remarks concerning apostasy, first reported in the English here. Though Tayeb is often portrayed as a “moderate” and “reformer,” the […]

England had 5,700 recorded cases of FGM in 2015-16
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2016 09:38 am

Cases of female genital mutilation are skyrocketing in England not because English women are deciding that they wish to be mutilated. FGM is skyrocketing because the Muslim population is skyrocketing, and since it continues to do so, FGM is not going to be stopped in Britain. Instead, it will increasingly become the norm. An NSPCC […]

EU marks record-high number of terrorist attacks in 2015
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2016 05:14 am

This data is strange: the article says there were 211 terror attacks in 2015, with 65 being “separatist terrorism” and 17 being jihad attacks. What were the other 129? Probably what they consider to be “right-wing extremism,” given this quote: “The overall threat is reinforced by the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that […]

Answer to jihad challenge isn’t “the gutless multiculturalism of Western elites”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 21, 2016 04:56 am

So what is it? A model may be found in the Cold War. Although the West’s response to the jihad threat is hamstrung today by the continuance of empty and counterproductive Cold War alliances such as those with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, that doesn’t mean that no lessons from that period apply to today. G.M. […]
