By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 05:00 pm

My latest at PJ Media: Eighteen years after the September 11 jihad attacks that murdered nearly three thousand people, this is where we are: the Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church in Michigan has canceled an event called “9/11 forgotten?

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Sep 13, 2019 04:00 pm

In a first such move by Switzerland, which should be applauded and replicated in other Western countries: Switzerland has revoked the citizenship of a man convicted of helping recruit jihadist fighters, invoking a law allowing dual nationals to be stripped of their Swiss passports for conduct detrimental to national interests or reputation. “Last year, Australia […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Sep 13, 2019 03:00 pm

A good-news story out of Germany: The city of Bonn, the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, banned four Palestinian organizations from participating in its late September cultural festival, because they support the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign targeting the Jewish state.

UK: Muslims daub church with graffiti, break windows, spray fire extinguishers, “inexplicable and appalling damage”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 02:00 pm

What happens when British authorities introduce into the country a large population of people who believe that Christianity is a false religion and that they are commanded to fight unbelievers so that Allah may punish them by the hands of the believers (cf. Qur’an 9:14-15)? This. “Teen admits his part in ‘mindless vandalism’ at church,” […]

Shi’ite Muslims worldwide mark Ashura by slicing their heads open, and those of their children
By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 12:00 pm

We have seen this in Britain, Atlanta, Toronto, and elsewhere in the West. If someone wants to cut his head and stalk down the street with the blood streaming down, that’s his business, I suppose. It isn’t illegal. But others are likewise free to find it unnerving, disgusting, and possibly a danger to the public […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 11:00 am

Maybe the stigma was in place for good reason. But King and Firkin doubtless thought that was just “racism” and “Islamophobia.” “Australian and British bloggers held in Iran named,” BBC, September 12, 2019: Two Australian citizens detained in Iran have been identified as Jolie King and Mark Firkin.

At the Islamic Association of Greater Hartford, Young Muslims Coached to Handle the Media (Part 1)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 13, 2019 10:00 am

A story some time ago about a mosque in central Connecticut with a 400-student Muslim Sunday school offered a house blend of victimhood and resilience. More guards are on patrol these days. And for the older students in the transition class, talking about Islamophobia is not only welcomed, but encouraged. The teenagers are in their […]

By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 09:00 am

This is what Ruslan Maratovich Asainov’s own lawyer said: “He’s converted to Islam. He lives by Sharia law. He doesn’t believe he has any obligation to abide by the American legal system.” We have seen that time and time again in cases in the United States as well as in Canada, Europe and Australia: jihadis […]

Turkish Red Crescent purchased luxury cars with donations from the UN World Food Programme
By Robert Spencer on Sep 13, 2019 08:00 am

Corruption? Not from the Turkish Red Crescent’s point of view. Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) […]
