Islamic Republic of Iran depicts George Floyd as Shi’ite Muslim saint The Iranian regime has turned the late #George_Floyd into Saint George, Shiite-style! #Beware_Foreign_Influence pic.twitter.com/ofTtW5J3px — Dr. Reza Parchizadeh (@rezaparchizadeh) June 1, 2020 This is entirely consistent with the other behavior of the Islamic regime in Iran.

Allahu Akbar. https://t.co/PuD4e42xHV — ۞ (@iran_tactical) June 18, 2020 This kind of gloating is entirely in line with the Iranian imperative of “Death to America.” Both the Iranian Islamic regime and the statue-destroying rioters share that goal.

There are no “Islamophobes” in Afghanistan. This was done by Muslims, targeting Muslims of a rival group, or those whom the attackers deemed to be insufficiently Muslim. This is a manifestation of the culture of violence that emanates from the idea that the supreme being commands […] Read more 2020-06-19  •  Robert Spencer Al Jazeera anchor enraged over call to combat anti-Semitism No surprise here. The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called 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 […] Read more 2020-06-19  •  Robert Spencer France: Three Muslim teens charged for threatening to murder high-school girl for criticizing Islam This is good, but it needs to be a consistent policy. The Muslims who threatened Mila do not accept the principle of the freedom of speech. They are unlikely ever to do so. Either France will defend that principle, or surrender it.

Who taught him? What has been taught in his mosque? Why isn’t his mosque being investigated? Here yet again we see a convert to Islam immediately get the idea that his new religion calls for violence against unbelievers. Authorities remain wholly uninterested in investigating this recurring phenomenon. “Boy, […] Read more 2020-06-19  •  Robert Spencer Bangladesh: Muslims vandalize at least ten Hindu temples in May 2020 alone Besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to destroy the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: Many were the Ways of Life […] Read more 2020-06-19  •  Robert Spencer
