Iowa Candidate Under Fire for Call to Define Islam as “Militant Cultural Imperialism Seeking World Domination” My latest in PJ Media: The real pandemic today is not the coronavirus, but cowardice. Nonetheless, even in these days of political correctness, wokeness, the cancel culture, and “hate speech,” there are a few public figures with courage. One of them is Rick Phillips, a Republican Congressional candidate from Iowa, who has dared to grasp […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer Saudi Arabia: Man faces beheading for video of someone stepping on a Qur’an A glimpse into the future of the U.S. This can’t happen here, you say? We respect the freedom of speech, you say? Maybe that was true at one time, but it is no longer. Cowardice is pandemic. Newspapers all over the country refused to republish the notorious Muhammad cartoons out of a newfound “respect” for […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer Germany: Three Muslim migrants investigated for gang-raping 19-year-old woman No one wants to face the hard facts, but this is why this sort of thing keeps happening: a survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK has previously said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. Thus it came as no surprise when Muslim migrants […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer UK: Muslims threaten to murder singer who converted to Islam for using Qur’anic prayer in music video Lisa Mercedez is an example of the cultural transformation that is taking place in Britain. But her well-intentioned efforts to promote her new faith in her new single “Shahada” have backfired. The larger question is this: how can this murderous intransigence coexist peacefully in a society that values the freedom of speech? It cannot, and […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer UK Islamic scholar: Even if wife licks husband’s bloody infected wounds, she won’t fulfill her obligations to him Remember, you greasy Islamophobe, Islam respects women: “The prophets have explained with such emphasis, but if you had an ulcer that was bleeding with blood and pus from his head to his foot and she licked it, she would not have fulfilled the right that he had over her.” Humble also says: “The Messenger of […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan: Muslim cleric says coronavirus pandemic was caused by “immodest women” The underlying assumption here is that the coronavirus is an expression of Allah’s wrath against those who do not obey his laws. So the solution is to implement Sharia. This kind of thinking leads to jihad violence, because a hadith depicts Muhammad telling his followers that no deed is greater than jihad (Bukhari 56.4.2785), which […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer Nigeria: Muslims murder four people and destroy 36 houses in raid on farming village This kind of jihad attack is practically a daily occurrence in Nigeria, but the world takes little notice. World bodies are much too concerned with drafting their latest document on “Islamophobia” to note such trivialities as this. “4 killed, 36 houses destroyed as Fulani radicals raid another village in Nigeria,” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Robert Spencer Secretary of State Pompeo: West Bank Annexation is Israel’s Decision (Part 1) It is a great relief to realize that Israel no longer has to endure being bullied on matters of life and death by its American ally, as has happened in the past, especially during the administrations of distinctly unfriendly presidents, including Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. At last we have an administration that recognizes Israel’s […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Muslims begin massive anti-India campaign, targeting Hindus for “Islamophobia” India’s Islamization problem is rooted in bitter history and current antagonisms. Its Citizenship Amendment Act, along with its warnings about the COVID-19 super-spreader, Tablighi Jamaat, have now become the pretext for a massive propaganda campaign, which in turn has led to a witch-hunt against Indians living in Islamic countries. The vicious campaign is spreading across […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Germany: Mosque leader demands government bailout due to coronavirus If this request is to be considered, no mosque should qualify if it spreads Islamic doctrines that are opposed to Germany’s constitution. It is well documented that a number of mosques in Western countries do that, and are either funded or subsidized by countries including Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran. Turkey “largely funded the construction […] Read more 2020-04-25  •  Christine Douglass-Williams
