It was just phrased a bit more bluntly than diplomatic niceties usually allow. It is long past time for a fresh approach to diplomacy and a […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 17, 2019 04:00 pm

By Robert Spencer on Oct 17, 2019 03:00 pm

Imagine the embarrassment the Federal Court of Switzerland will feel when they discover that domestic abuse is sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them.

A culture of violence: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 17, 2019 11:00 am

These pious young men just want a better life for themselves and their families (whom they don’t seem to have with them). Don’t they? It would be racist, bigoted and “Islamophobic” to raise any concern about this, right? “Bosnia: Thousands of migrants shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ on their way to the welfare state paradises,” Searchlight Germany, […]

The Nobels In Literature: Olga Tokarczuk and Peter Handke
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Oct 17, 2019 10:00 am

Several friends of mine always wait for the Nobel announcements to finish each year before they then tote up the “scores” for various nationalities and religions. Although these awards are for individual (and for the Peace Nobel, sometimes institutional) achievement, my friends can’t help themselves: they want to know, first of all, “how many Americans […]

By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 17, 2019 09:00 am

“Amid concerns over returning fighters travelling to Europe from the conflict in Syria, the Danish government has announced plans to revoke citizenship from those who have taken up arms and joined terrorist groups in the Middle East.” This is obvious: enemy combatants should they be regarded as citizens. The purpose of jihadists is to destroy […]

US Supreme Court: Teacher who forced student to say Islamic conversion prayer did not violate Establishment Clause
By Christine Douglass-Williams on Oct 17, 2019 08:00 am

Parents take note: the Islamization of the education system needs to be firmly rejected, but that is not happening. Instead, parents are continuing to entrust their children to a system that is untrustworthy. “Public schools across America are promoting the religion of Islam in ways that would never be tolerated for Christianity or any other […]
