UK: London Bridge jihad murderer belonged to Muslim group that admired Hitler
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 05:30 pm

No surprise here. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love […]

UK: Schoolmate of London Bridge jihadi says he turned to the Islamic State after being bullied at school
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 04:00 pm

Of course, lots of people are bullied at school without turning to the Islamic State. What, oh what, could be the difference in this case? Could it be that Usman Khan read Islamic texts mandating violence against unbelievers and took them to heart? Nah, that couldn’t be it. Everyone knows that when Muslims turn to […]

Islamic State claims responsibility for London Bridge jihad massacre
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 03:30 pm

There is no reason why this couldn’t be so; the Islamic State has many times called upon Muslims to murder random civilians in Western countries. If they didn’t do this one, they’ll keep trying. “Islamic State claims responsibility for London Bridge attack,” Reuters, November 30, 2019: Islamic State said the London Bridge attack on Friday […]

UK: London counterterror chief says they’re keeping “an open mind as to any motive” of London Bridge jihad murderer
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 03:00 pm

Yeah, it’s a real mystery. Usman Khan was a hardened jihadi who had been imprisoned for jihad terror plotting. His motive is absolutely opaque to the terminally blinkered and willfully ignorant. Neil Basu and other British authorities of course do not wish to appear “Islamophobic.” “Terrifying new footage shows moment hero bystanders armed with a […]

“His father David said in a tweet that his son ‘would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily.'” Of course.

UK: London Bridge jihad murderer was son of Muslim migrants, wanted to bomb London Stock Exchange
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 02:00 pm

But the British authorities were far too busy hounding and persecuting foes of jihad terror to take much notice of him, and when they did consider his case, they were far too committed to the dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace to doubt that he was rehabilitated and now a trustworthy, loyal citizen.

By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 01:00 pm

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268).

Australian converts to Islam, threatens to behead cops: “Allahu akbar, you’re all dead”
By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 09:00 am

Yet again a convert to Islam somehow gets the idea that treason and mass murder are required by his new, peaceful religion. No authorities in any country have ever shown the slightest degree of interest in this recurring phenomenon. “‘I’m going to cut heads off’: Man threatened police, magistrate in Sydney,” by Sarah McPhee, News.com.au, […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 30, 2019 08:00 am

There is one group in the West that must never, ever have its feathers ruffled. “LEVY: No charges flow from Al-Quds rally,” by Sue-Ann Levy, Toronto Sun, November 27, 2019 (thanks to Joe): After a five-month investigation into the annual Al Quds hatefest against […]
