Alabama: Hamas-linked CAIR rep says, “It’s just hard being a Muslim right now”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 06:10 pm

“We’ve seen a huge spike in anti-Muslim attacks in the last year,” claims Khaula Hadeed. In reality, FBI hate crimes statistics show that anti-Semitic hate crimes are two times more common than anti-Muslim hate crimes. And then there all the anti-Muslim hate crimes that turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves. Hadeed works […]

Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown now says Islam forbids slavery and rape, but in 2015 said it allowed them
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 05:07 pm

Georgetown professor Jonathan A. C. Brown is not interesting in himself, and so I am loathe to devote yet another post to him, but he is illustrative of so many things: the corruption of the academic establishment in general and Georgetown University in particular; the intellectual bankruptcy of Leftists and Islamic supremacists; the open and […]

77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since court blocked Trump ban come from the 7 countries on Trump’s list
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 02:52 pm

What could possibly go wrong? This. “77% of refugees allowed into U.S. since travel reprieve hail from seven suspect countries,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, February 9, 2017: The State Department has more than doubled the rate of refugees from Iraq, Syria and other suspect countries in the week since a federal judge’s reprieve, in […]

72 Muslims from countries covered by Trump ban convicted of terrorism
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 02:41 pm

How many is too many? What number of Americans killed by jihadis is enough for the Left? Is there any limit that will make them say, “All right, now we have to call a halt to this” and restrict immigration? Or is open borders the unalterable goal no matter how many Americans die in jihad […]

U.S. Muslim groups, enraged by Trump, reject federal grants to fight “extremism”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 12:32 pm

These grants are a total waste of money in the first place, as they’re given to organizations that run programs such as youth basketball and job training, on the mistaken assumption that this will persuade young Muslims not to join jihad terror groups and become jihad terror groups. Anyway, the Islamic groups that were taking […]

Muslim ex-Guardsman gets 11 years for supporting ISIS, renounces its “superficial and dishonest interpretation of Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 12:12 pm

Jalloh also targeted Pamela Geller for jihad murder, although the FBI didn’t bother to apprise her of that fact. Nobody much cares anymore about jihadis trying to murder defenders of the freedom of speech; almost everyone in the mainstream is willing to concede and appease jihad murderers on that front. Anyway, Jalloh didn’t explain how […]

Robert Spencer: Answering an Islamic apologist (Part I)
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 11:48 am

It all started when Jihad Watch writer Hugh Fitzgerald offered 38 uncomfortable questions that could be used by those who encountered “I’m a Muslim — Ask Me Anything” Islamic apologists. Hugh then gave answers to the questions: 1-6; 7-10; 11-15; 16-23; 24-29; and 30-38. Now a Muslim named Rizwan Khan, who is a member of […]

Georgetown prof Jonathan Brown justifies slavery and the rape of female slaves
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 09:58 am

Now it is clear why professor Jonathan A. C. Brown had our Jihad Watch correspondent, Andrew Harrod, expelled from this lecture before it began. It is also clear why he responded with such infantile rudeness when I accepted his challenge to debate. Brown would never admit it, but he has taken these positions because he […]

By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 09:27 am

On February 4, 2017, I spoke at a church in Colorado on the new Trump administration, the anti-Israel UN Resolution 2334, and the Trump temporary ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries. For the Q&A I was joined by author Joel Richardson.

Hamas releases music video vowing to murder Israelis: “We will eat you, Zionists, without salt”
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 09:19 am

This is nothing new. In 2012, Hamas released a music video declaring: “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah.” Maybe the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham, who has said that “No one defends Islam like Arab Christians” and “Christ was born in Palestine,” and who has claimed that jihad massacres […]

Israel: Muslim opens fire on bus, uses screwdriver to stab shoppers buying groceries, six wounded
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 09:00 am

He opened fire on a bus. He stabbed shoppers. When he was chased down, he stabbed a man in the neck. This persistent, frenzied determination to kill is something we frequently see in jihad attacks. In several of the recent vehicular jihad attacks, the jihadi got out of his car after it was stopped and […]

Indonesia’s Aceh province lashes 339 people with cane in 2016 for violations of Sharia
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 08:47 am

That’s nearly one every day. These people were lashed for gambling, adultery, and the like — the usual Sharia transgressions. We’re constantly told in the West that Sharia is multiform and that there are numerous humane and benign interpretations. This is belied by the fact that wherever Sharia has been implemented and is implemented now, […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Winston Churchill, Anti-German Hate Group Leader
By Robert Spencer on Feb 11, 2017 08:38 am

Over at PJ Media I discuss what might happen if today’s establishment propaganda media were covering the rise of Hitler and National Socialism: What if World War II had been reported the way the establishment media writes about the global jihad today? The question is pertinent in light of the ongoing demonization of Trump adviser […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Islam and the Propaganda War (Part II): The Debater’s Handbook
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Feb 11, 2017 07:16 am

In Part I, I reviewed the propaganda war conducted by the American government during the Cold War, and lamented the lack of such a campaign against the forces of Jihad today. I discussed the need to reprint in full, and with a critical commentary appended, the Qur’an, and also to print intelligently abridged versions of […]
