By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 04:00 pm

As I predicted in this article, Muslims are enraged at New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for using the word “jihad” to describe President Trump’s immigration policies. Sadaf Mehdi of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York fumed: “Governor Cuomo’s comparison of it to a ‘jihad’ only perpetuates the Islamophobic trope that acts of violence are […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Governor Cuomo Likens Trump’s Immigration Policies to ‘Jihad’
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 03:00 pm

Will CAIR reprimand him for using the term’s violent definition? My latest in PJ Media: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has claimed that the Trump administration is “on a crusade against people who they do not consider original Americans.” That term was apparently fine, since even Catholics take for granted today that the Crusades were […]

Denmark: Imam calls for “final solution” to Israel — new jihad invasion of Europe
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 02:00 pm

Most Americans probably don’t know that there was a jihad invasion of Europe. This one of the reasons why I wrote my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. If more people knew this history, there would be more clear thinking about a great deal of public policies today. Note also the […]

Egypt: Bishop found murdered in monastery
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 01:00 pm

This murder could have been perpetrated by someone within the monastery, but it is more likely to be more of the Muslim persecution of the Coptic Christians that has been ongoing for fourteen centuries, and has stepped up in virulence since 2013, when the Muslim Brotherhood government was toppled and the Brotherhood blamed the nation’s […]

TSA is placing passengers who aren’t on terror database under close surveillance
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 12:00 pm

The program delves into the minutiae of air travel, including “whether passengers fidget, use a computer, have a ‘jump’ in their Adam’s apple or a ‘cold penetrating stare,’ among other behaviors.” They’ll do this to Americans who haven’t committed any crime at all, but they wouldn’t dream of devoting any resources to trying to figure […]

UK: Muslim cop on trial for sexual assault of teen claims she repeatedly asked him to have sex with her
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 11:05 am

Aside from Hussain’s flimsy explanations, why does this keep happening? Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that […]

Israel: Muslim sets Jerusalem motel on fire
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 11:00 am

The Islamic State in September 2014 exhorted Muslims: “Disperse those behind them wherever you may find them. Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure. Hunt them wherever they may be. Turn their worldly life into fear and fire.” This […]

Texas: Muslim migrant guilty of murdering the husband of his daughter, a convert to Christianity, in honor killing
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 09:00 am

This story, unlike earlier stories on these murders, notes that Irsan’s daughter had converted to Christianity. In that case, Irsan was doing what he believed to be his duty before Allah, and he might have killed his daughter as well. The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an: […]

Italy’s largest Catholic magazine likens Salvini to Satan over his immigration policy
By Robert Spencer on Jul 30, 2018 08:00 am

The Catholic Church in Italy, like the Catholic Church in the U.S., appears not feel any obligation to support measures that would protect their people from jihad attacks. The message that Famiglia Cristiana is sending to Catholics and other citizens of Italy is simple: drop dead. They are apparently unconcerned about the jihad attacks and […]
