FBI makes warning visits to Americans on Islamic State “kill lists” By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 03:51 pm “Among them are ‘many’ Christians involved in international student welcome ministries or who are helping Muslim refugees settle in the United States.” Why they would be targeted is unclear. Perhaps they would prefer that Muslims live in their caliphate rather than the West. But with the reduction of their holdings in Iraq, they will be […] Read in browser »   Polish MP: Germans going to great lengths to hide Muslim migrant crimes By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 03:19 pm What illness has overtaken the European elites? Why are they so bent on civilizational suicide? “Polish MP: Germans Going to Great Lengths To Cover Crimes Of Their Arab Guests,” by Przemek Skwirczynski, Breitbart, July 30, 2016: Professor Krystyna Pawłowicz, a Polish parliamentarian from the ruling PiS (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, or Law and Justice) party and […] Read in browser » 50,000 demonstrate for Turkey’s Erdogan…in Cologne, Germany By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 02:59 pm “For Democracy, Against Putsch” in Turkey means “For Islamization, Against Secularism.” And 50,000 people demonstrating for this in Germany bodes ill for Germany’s future. But what doesn’t, these days? “50,000 demonstrators march through the streets of Cologne to show support for Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan,” by Anthony Joseph, MailOnline, July 31, 2016: Around 50,000 demonstrators […] Read in browser » Father of slain Muslim soldier says that terrorists “have nothing to do with Islam” By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 01:40 pm Trump is right: “The real problem here are the radical Islamic terrorists who killed” Khizr Khan’s son, but Khizr seems much more worked up about Trump than about jihad terror. And jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam? Really? We constantly are told this, but the repetition doesn’t make it true. In the first […] Read in browser » France: Muslims who murdered priest smiled, asked hostage nun if she was familiar with the Qur’an By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 01:22 pm The Qur’an? What? Didn’t these jihadis know that jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam? No doubt Khizr Khan is on his way to France right now to explain to Muslims there the true, peaceful Islam. “France church attackers ‘smiled’ and spoke of Quran,” AFP, July 30, 2016: One of the militants who murdered […] Read in browser » Fearing reprisal from Muslims, French publisher reverses decision to publish book critical of Islam By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 01:07 pm This is the way the West dies This is the way the West dies This is the way the West dies Not with a bang but a whimper. This is nothing new, however. Way back in 2002, a French edition of my book Islam Unveiled was canceled for fear of offending Muslims. “Fearing Islamist reprisal, […] Read in browser » Halifax cops warn of sex assaults by cab drivers with “dark hair…spoke with an accent and many had moustaches” By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 12:55 pm Hmmm. Dark hair, accent, moustache — what could they possibly have in common? Why would they have such an interest in sexually assaulting their attractive female passengers? It’s a complete mystery! “Sexual assault allegations in Halifax taxis spark warnings,” CBC News, July 25, 2016: A spate of taxi drivers accused of sexually assaulting women in […] Read in browser » “Journalist” Sohrab Ahmari converts to Christianity after priest murder, then denies published reports that he was Muslim By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 12:09 pm Yesterday, Jihad Watch writer Christine Williams posted a link to this story from Christian Today, along with some commentary praising Wall Street Journal reporter Sohrab Ahmari for his courage. Ahmari had announced his conversion to Christianity after two Islamic jihadists murdered Catholic priest Jacques Hamel: There are two possible implications of this: it could be […] Read in browser » UK: Muslim cleric tells Muslims that taking sex slaves is “permissible in Islam” By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 05:33 am Ali Hammuda is scolded here by the witless Express: “Hammuda, who was born in Palestine but brought up in Britain does not point out to his group that slavery is both forbidden in Islam and illegal in the UK.” It may be illegal in the UK, at least for now, but slavery is not, in […] Read in browser » Robert Spencer in the New York Post: The most dangerous anti-American force isn’t ISIS, it’s Iran By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 05:04 am In the New York Post this morning I explain why the larger long-term threat to the U.S. is not the Islamic State, but the Islamic Republic of Iran: The greatest threat to national security today isn’t ISIS, or China, or Russia or even the administration’s favorite bogey, climate change. The greatest threat is the Islamic […] Read in browser » Turkey: 7,000 armed police in heavy vehicles surround NATO air base after huge rally accuses US of role in failed coup By Robert Spencer on Jul 31, 2016 04:47 am This “security check” is hardly the action of a friend and ally. It is odd that Erdogan, who has been so friendly with Obama, would think he had a hand in the coup, but in any case, this just reemphasizes that rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey is no friend or ally of the United States, and should […] Read in browser »
