Sanders, Warren, other Democrat Senators call on US to give Palestinian Authority and Hamas $75 million As the economic crisis created by the coronavirus deepens, it is astounding that these Senators think this is a good use of the taxpayers’ money. Once this money arrived in the PA and Gaza, it would be used almost exclusively to line the pockets of various officials and to pay expenses related to the ongoing […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Amid coronavirus pandemic, Erdogan withdraws his migrant army from Greek border — for now “A chapter might potentially be closing, but this battle, have no doubt, continues.” Indeed. And the European Union is not on the side of Europe. “Turkey’s Erdogan blinks; pulls his migrant army back from Greek border amid virus pandemic,” Associated Press, March 28, 2020: ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish authorities have evacuated thousands of migrants […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan: Muslim cricketer set to make comeback despite offering reward for murder of “blasphemer” Geert Wilders Pakistani cricketer Khalid Latif, who was banned from cricket for 5 years for his role in the spot-fixing during Pakistan Super League 2017, places Rs. 3 million bounty on the head of the blasphemer Dutch MP Geert Wilders pic.twitter.com/p3zpqnxHhs — SAMRI (@SAMRIReports) August 27, 2018 Former Pakistani international cricketer Khalid Latif is still set to […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Isaac Marshall NYC Mayor de Blasio threatens to shut down churches and synagogues permanently, makes no mention of mosques This is patently unconstitutional and unlikely to stand, but de Blasio’s omission is noteworthy. As he has assiduously courted support from Muslim advocates and Islamic groups, it is unlikely that the existence of mosques in New York just slipped his mind. He threatens those whom he knows are susceptible to threats, and not those among […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Australia: Hijabbed Muslima repeatedly coughs and spits on cop, says she was on her way for coronavirus test In India, a Muslim software engineer was just arrested for saying: “Let’s join hands, go out and sneeze with open mouth in public. Spread the virus.” How prevalent are such attitudes within Muslim communities worldwide? Thought experiment: if a white supremacist in one country called for his followers to infect people deliberately with coronavirus, and […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Egypt: Muslim tries to kill Christian, says he did not know the victim, but hated him for being Christian “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6) “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29) “Man who […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Philadelphia: Imam says “We don’t want any progressive Islam….We do not support or advocate for ‘modern Islam'” All the smooth-talking and soothing professional moderate Muslims who have so beguiled so many people who should know better should take note of this, and explain exactly how Nafis Abu Zayd is misunderstanding Islam when he denies any interest in a reformed Islam. The West is staking its future on the reform of Islam, and […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer Khamenei Rejects Offer of American Help with Coronavirus (Part 1) After the American government offered help to coronavirus-stricken Iran this March, Ayatollah Khamenei rejected the offer as “strange.” It must have seemed so from his Islamic perspective. Why would American Infidels offer to supply medical and other humanitarian aid to Iran, the Muslim country where crowds routinely cry “Death to America” and stomp on the […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Germany: Muslim migrant murders man, gets two years probation and 120 hours of community service This sentence likely stems from the fact that the German government is so wholeheartedly and indefatigably committed to the migrant project that it is anxious to minimize any incident that reflects poorly on the migrants. In this case, that meant covering up what happened to Marcus Hempel, and denying his family justice. The future Germany […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Robert Spencer News Flash for the Muslim Migrants Demanding Entrance to Europe: Europeans are Not History’s Sole Colonizers As part of my research for an essay on African writer Chinua Achebe, published in The Federalist this past February, I reread Albert Memmi’s monograph The Colonizer and the Colonized (1957) in order to refresh my memory on some of the finer philosophical points of that seminal anti-colonialist treatise. Since my essay was arguing that Achebe, in his novel Things […] Read more 2020-03-31  •  Jocelynn Cordes
