Women’s March drops Linda Sarsour for anti-Semitism, replaces her with anti-Semite Zahra Billoo of Hamas-linked CAIR
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 05:00 pm

Yet another indication that the Left simply doesn’t care about anti-Semitism anymore, and is perfectly happy boosting those who propagate it. This is tantamount to replacing Louis Farrakhan with Marc Lamont Hill. Or Hitler with Göring. “Not the Onion: Women’s March Taps Zahra Billoo in Wake of Anti-Semitism Issues,” IPT News, September 16, 2019: The […]

Pakistan: Muslims riot, attack Hindu temple, school and shops over claims that school principal blasphemed Muhammad
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 04:00 pm

Pakistan’s blasphemy laws provide an ongoing justification for terror against the country’s religious minorities. But no one is committing “Islamophobia,” so international human rights organizations pay little attention. “Pakistan blasphemy riots: Dozens arrested after Hindu teacher accused,” BBC, September 16, 2019: Dozens of people have been arrested in Pakistan after a teenager accused his Hindu […]

Netherlands: Mosques found to be teaching Sharia, death for gays and apostates, mosque council “shocked”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 03:00 pm

“The Moroccan-Dutch community is also shocked.” Really? Where has there ever been a tradition of Islam that rejected Sharia? What did Said Bouharrou expect the mosque schools to teach? Or is his shock for non-Muslim audiences only? Will there be any investigation to determine the answers to such questions, or would that be “Islamophobic”? “MPs […]

Dilemma for the Left: Islamic organization in Netherlands distributes anti-gay literature for Islamic schools
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 02:00 pm

This article shows how the Left’s contradictions threaten to break its weird coalition wide open at any time. Will Islamic groups rail against the opposition to this curricular material as “Islamophobic”? Will gay rights groups finally begin to realize that they have a much more dangerous enemy than right-wing Christians? Which aggrieved victim group will […]

UK: Website for young Muslimas that counters “extremism” found to be funded by the Home Office
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 01:00 pm

Last month the Muslim social media network This Is Woke was discovered to be a government project, and now this. Why is it so hard to find actual moderate Muslims who will work against the spread of the jihad ideology within Muslim communities? And Muslims are enraged now: activist Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan fumes: “[It matters] because […]

Ilhan Omar: After 9/11, “many Americans found themselves now having their civil rights stripped from them”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 12:00 pm

Ilhan Omar’s message here is a familiar one: that Muslims were the real victims of 9/11. That they had “their civil rights stripped from them.” That they were now all being treated as suspects. None of this is true. There was no wholesale targeting of innocent Muslims after 9/11. FBI hate crime statistics year after […]

Trump suggests Iran is lying when it denies involvement in drone strike on Saudi oil industry
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 11:00 am

It’s fairly clear that this was a strike at the Saudi oil industry in retaliation for sanctions on Iran. Did the Iranians model their drones on the U.S. drone they seized and refused to give back while Obama was President? Did they finance the strike with the billions Obama showered upon them? In any case, […]

Muqtedar Khan’s Feelgood Religious Narrative
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Sep 16, 2019 10:00 am

In the days, months and years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Professor Muqtedar Khan of the University of Delaware found himself grappling with an unrelenting question of faith and identity: “If al-Qaeda, ISIS, and all the human rights violations committed in the name of Islam are not my faith,” he would ask […]

Alabama: Muslima aided al-Qaeda’s jihad, said “You can’t have a war without weapons”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 09:00 am

Where did Alaa Mohd Abusaad learn her understanding of Islam? Has her mosque in Alabama been investigated? Why not? Would it be “Islamophobic” to do so? American authorities are betting the future of the United States on the assumption that Muslims here will, perhaps with one or two minor exceptions, assimilate, accept American values, and […]

Video: Muslim father shoots gun around infant son to accustom him to jihad
By Robert Spencer on Sep 16, 2019 08:00 am

UPDATE: Many people have written in to say that the father in question is not “Palestinian,” but Saudi. Although I’ve received well over a dozen of these messages, none has offered a source. Nonetheless, since jihad is a universal value in Islam, I’ve changed “Palestinian” to “Muslim” in the headline, as the Muslim identity of […]
