By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 06:10 pm

Presidents, Kings, Premiers, dictators, strongmen, weaklings — all of them and more gave […]

Germany: Cops say motive of Muslim migrant who smashed truck into cars while screaming “Allah” is unclear
By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 05:00 pm

Of course. What could his motive possibly be? Who ever heard of Muslims deliberately driving vehicles into people? We want to avoid “Islamophobia” at all costs. That’s job one. Once we take care of that, then we’ll find Mohammed’s motive. “Germany probes motive of Syrian crash truck hijacker,” AFP, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 10, 2019 03:00 pm

You criticize Islam, you pay a dear price, ranging from jail to murder in many Muslim countries. Canan Kaftancioglu, a Turkish politician and critic of Islam, has received a ten-year-long prison sentence for “blasphemy against Islam.” Canan has risked her life and future by standing up for human rights and being daring enough to make […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 02:00 pm

India: Muslims hurl heavy stones at Hindu procession for not stopping its music near mosque
By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 01:00 pm

Music is haram, and the principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. @Uppolice @up100 @balrampurpolice kya karywahi ki gai hai. pic.twitter.com/2Xq8y3Yx6y — सुशील बाजपेयी अधिवक्ता। (@advocatesushil9) October 8, 2019 “UP: […]

“People still associate ‘Allahu akbar’ with violence, while many visitors to our mosque experience it as meditative”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 12:30 pm

“Because of international terrorism, people still associate ‘Allāhu akbar’ with violence or misery.” Indeed. Even today. And those people are often Muslims themselves. But will that tolerance be reciprocated once Sharia-adherent Muslims are in charge in Amsterdam? Islamic law forbids churches to ring bells. Imagine the embarrassment of Amsterdam officials when their church bells are […]

Iran’s Khamenei: “Building and stockpiling nuclear bombs is wrong and using it is haram”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 11:00 am

There will be great rejoicing in the Western establishment media over this, and lots of tweaking of Trump from the Leftist establishment figures such as John Kerry and Ben Rhodes who pushed the Iran nuclear deal. This might be more reassuring, however, were it not for the Shi’ite Muslim idea of taqiyya; Sunnis have doctrines […]

Don’t Romanticize the Kurds
By Andrew Bostom on Oct 10, 2019 10:30 am

Uninformed savants across the political spectrum have pilloried President Trump for his eminently rational decision to draw down the U.S. troop commitment (initially, only 25, as it turns out!) to the Syrian morass (whose “dynamic” has remained largely unchanged since the late 1940s). Most of the ire directed at Mr. Trump has to do with […]

What Does It Take to Arouse Suspicion?  
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 10, 2019 10:00 am

The controversy this week in France, over why French officials failed to act on all the warning signs that Mickaël Harpon gave that he was in sympathy with jihad violence and hence might one day engage in jihad himself, recalls the instructive case of Khalid Masood, which revealed numerous problems with how officials all over […]

Sweden: Muslim migrants sending their kids home to avoid their becoming “Westernized,” some join jihad groups
By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 09:00 am

Then the trained jihadis return to Sweden and are admitted without any hesitation. Western officials are being played for fools, and they’re too afraid of charges of “Islamophobia” to admit it to themselves. “Sweden Sounds the Alarm Over Migrant Kids Sent to Africa to Avoid Them Becoming ‘Westernised,'” Sputnik, October 8, 2019 (thanks to The […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 10, 2019 08:00 am

What could possibly go wrong? Her husband is dead. Might she engage in or help facilitate more jihad activity? Inconceivable! “After Paris attack, Macron vows ‘unrelenting fight’ against Islamist terror,” Times of Israel, October 8, 2019: …Harpon’s 38-year-old wife was taken into custody Thursday after officials found they had exchanged 33 text messages shortly before […]
