Iran humiliates Obama with footage of $400 million ransom for hostages
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 02:33 pm

A liar exposed in his lie by a nation that considers itself to be at war with the United States (skeptical? Get the details in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran), and the President of the United States to be a fool and a useful idiot for aiding them in that war. “Iran […]

Germany: Jihad attackers had repeated contact with Islamic State jihadis in Saudi Arabia
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 02:14 pm

The Islamic State has sent enemy combatants into Europe and North America in significant numbers. There will be many more stories like this one. Meanwhile, what is our “friend and ally” Saudi Arabia doing on its end to stop these activities inside its own borders? “Terror Investigation: Germany Attackers Had Contact with Suspected IS Members,” […]

Boko Haram’s new top dog to old one: Mission was to kill “only Christians”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 01:50 pm

This address from Abu Musab al-Barnawi to his predecessor as the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, is a carefully reasoned argument from the Qur’an: Shekau, according to al-Barnawi, has transgressed against the Qur’an’s prohibition on Muslims killing other Muslims (4:92). In the course of his discourse he notes that Shekau contends that the Muslims […]

Syriac Catholic Patriarch: West “naive and complicit” in destruction of Middle Eastern Christianity
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 01:26 pm

“We have to understand that totalitarianism based on Islamic creed is the worst among all systems of government. Yes, my friends, the very survival of Christians in the cradle of Christianity is quite in danger.” Yet the West is silent. Why?

Egypt: After years of torture and harassment, Christian convert returns to Islam
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 01:01 pm

Hegazy has been harassed, tortured, and unjustly imprisoned. No one can say he would not break under such circumstances. And since Islam mandates that those who leave Islam be executed, his years of harsh treatment are, paradoxically, mild compared to what he would have gotten had Egyptian authorities decided to follow Islamic law scrupulously. But […]

Belgium: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks police officers with machete
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 12:38 pm

“Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel tweeted this afternoon: ‘I strongly condemn the attack at Charleroi. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones and the police. We are following the situation very closely.'” These weak, tepid, pro-forma responses are increasingly embarrassing. Who cares if Charles Michel condemns the attack? Was there ever any doubt […]

Canada: Muslims who planted bombs at legislature freed: “police-manufactured crime”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 12:22 pm

“‘Without the police it would have been impossible for the defendants to carry out the pressure-cooker plan … The police decided they had to aggressively engineer and plan for Nuttall and Korody and make them think it was their own. The defendants were the foot soldiers but the undercover officer was the leader of the […]

Daily Beast claims FBI goaded jihadis into attacking Garland free speech event
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 10:50 am

Is a rogue, Islamophobic FBI really badgering Muslims who would otherwise have been peaceful, law-abiding citizens until they finally snap and go jihad? Only in the Left’s most febrile fantasies. Katie Zavadski would have us believe that if this undercover FBI agent hadn’t told Ibrahim Simpson to “tear up Texas,” Simpson would have remained a […]

White House map shows Islamic State still expanding, contradicting public claims
By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 10:33 am

“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” said Obama, while they’re expanding all over the world. And the Pentagon has previously been caught publishing maps that hid the territorial gains the Islamic State had made in Iraq and Syria. This administration has proven itself to be completely untrustworthy regarding not only the motivating ideology of jihad […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 06, 2016 08:24 am

“The annual market attracted 2.5 million visitors over two days in 2015, and Aubry said there were ‘risks we cannot reduce. Therefore I think we must cancel the 2016 flea market.'” Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said: “We are in a situation of war. So, for the moment, we have to forbid events if security […]
