Hamas-linked CAIR whines: Muslims asked about terrorism more than Trump supporters
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 07:01 pm

Over 30,000 jihad attacks committed by devout Muslims acting in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings since 9/11. How many committed by Trump supporters? Right. “CAIR Says Unfair: Muslims Asked About Terrorism More Than Trump Supporters,” by Ashley Rae Goldenberg, MRCTV, May 9, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): At […]

ACLU Lawyer: Trump travel ban “could be Constitutional” if enacted by Hillary Clinton
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 06:39 pm

If it could be Constitutional if enacted by Clinton, then it’s Constitutional when enacted by Trump. Trump’s “campaign animus” against Muslims is a fiction of the media and political elites. Neither Trump nor anyone else would have any “animus” against Islam or Muslims were it not for jihad terrorism. The idea that Trump was motivated […]

Now some Muslim women are outraged over high-fashion hijabs
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 11:25 am

“It’s not doing anything for the Muslim community other than reducing the hijab – which I see as an act of worship – into something as simple as a fashion statement.” But remember: Dolce and Gabbana and the rest, as well as other non-fashion companies such as Pepsi and Nike, started featuring hijabs and hijabis […]

U.S. Catholic bishops complicit in Muslim persecution of Christians
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 11:16 am

Recently I was interviewed about the persecution by Catholic bishops of Catholic priests who enunciate unpopular truths about Islam. “Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) “Islamic Expert: US Bishops Complicit in Muslim Persecution of Christians,” by Anita Carey, […]

Video from Malaysia: Muslim woman lathers hijab in shampoo commercial
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 11:11 am

Modern, moderate Malaysia, that is. This is actually a sly rebuke of the Islamic law requiring women to cover their hair. If it actually aired in Malaysia, it constitutes a clever and muted indication of opposition to that country’s move toward stricter enforcement of Sharia rules.

On day Abbas met Trump, Fatah honored 12 jihadis who murdered 95 people
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 11:04 am

Abbas lied brazenly to President Trump, claiming that his government “educates for peace” and that the Palestinian Authority is “raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace.” Meanwhile, this was what was going on back home. “While Abbas met with Trump, Fatah honored 12 terrorists responsible for murdering 95 people,” by […]

Suspicious FBI role in Garland jihad attack is major FBI scandal on Comey’s watch
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 10:50 am

James Comey has been fired, and not a moment too soon, but questions linger. 60 Minutes ran a feature recently about the FBI’s curious role in the May 2015 Garland jihad attack at a free speech event co-organized by Pamela Geller and me. It was, predictably enough, viciously biased, sloppy, and incomplete, but it was […]

How not to defend free speech
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 10:37 am

“‘A diverse and inclusive learning environment’ ought to mean a college where students and faculty members of differing backgrounds and views can come together to participate in a marketplace of ideas, and no idea is excluded without due consideration. But ‘diverse and inclusive’ has come to be a euphemism for its opposite: homogenous and exclusionary.” […]

Video from Austria: “Dark-skinned man” attacks, destroys crucifix, does over $16,000 in damage
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 10:27 am

The report below says that the attacker’s nationality and citizenship status are not known, and identifies the attacker only as a “dark-skinned man.” It also identifies the attacker as mentally ill. Austria has had mentally ill non-Muslims for centuries. They don’t generally attack and destroy crucifixes. If, however, this attacker was a Muslim, as he […]

Pakistan PM accused of taking money from bin Laden to fund jihad in Kashmir
By Robert Spencer on May 10, 2017 04:00 am

There is nothing implausible about this. The Pakistani army is supporting anti-India jihadist groups. The Pakistani government is sheltering al-Qaeda top dog Zawahiri. Pakistan won’t free the doctor who helped the U.S. find bin Laden. Last August, the Afghan President said that a jihad attack at American University in Kabul was orchestrated from Pakistan. The […]
