By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 03:21 pm

This is extraordinary and world-historical. But they shouldn’t expect any satisfaction from the thoroughly compromised United Nations, a tool of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. “Iranian resistance issues list of demands urging UN to take action,” Al Arabiya, January 5, 2018: The Iranian Resistance urged the UN Security Council to defend the legitimate and inalienable […]

Islamic State declares jihad on Hamas for failing to stop Trump’s Jerusalem move
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 01:57 pm

I’m finishing work soon on a book entitled The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which explodes many, many historical myths that are current today. And along the way, it also shows that Muslims declaring other Muslims insufficiently Muslim on some grounds or other and then beginning to kill them is a phenomenon as […]

Iran tries to censor coverage of protests by media based abroad
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 01:31 pm

Totalitarian regimes hate and fear the truth, because the narrative they try to impose upon their people always runs afoul of it. So they have to suppress the truth by force. That this would be true of an Islamic Republic as much as it is of a Communist dictatorship is telling, and few dare even […]

Ireland: Muslim migrant charged in random stabbing murder, Gardai still say no link to terrorism
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 01:19 pm

“Gardaí have said they have found no established link to indicate the attacks, in which the Japanese national was fatally stabbed and two other people were wounded, were terror-related.” They mean that they haven’t found that he was in contact with someone in Iraq or Syria, or has any ties that they can discover to […]

Archbishop: Up to 10,000 Catholics leaving Bosnia-Herzegovina each year because of discrimination
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 12:53 pm

“The defense team is calling for a psychiatrist’s report.” Of course, because what else could he be but crazy, right? Well, a hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “If a husband calls his wife to his bed [i.e. to have sexual relation] and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her […]

Iran blames CIA for freedom protests
By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 11:36 am

By Robert Spencer on Jan 05, 2018 10:27 am

Khomeini removed women’s rights. Today, Iranian women remove the hijab. My latest in PJ Media: News out of Iran is scant since the defenders of the Islamic Republic blocked all social media, but that one woman whom the world saw take off her hijab and stand silently and defiantly has become the symbol of the latest […]
