The Left is above the law; it’s only for dissenters from the Leftist agenda. Ilhan Omar is a Leftist, a black person, a woman, and a Muslim. These are the reasons why she will not be prosecuted. Anyone who […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Robert Spencer Iranian Police Demand More Officers To Enforce Hijab Requirement on Women “So many women flout the rules that…existing manpower is not enough to enforce hijab.” Iranian police are running short on enforcers to compel women to wear Islamic headscarves, or hijabs, in public. Iran’s deputy chief of law enforcement asked the regime for more manpower to implement the sharia-mandated hijab rules, media reports said. Iranian Islamic […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Vijeta Uniyal Afghanistan: Muslim who detonated jihad suicide car bomb had recently graduated from medical school This will come as a surprise to those — and they are legion — who assume that poverty causes terrorism. In reality, that claim is just a pretext for Western nations to write more checks to governments of Muslim countries. It’s demonstrably false. The New York Times reported that “not long after the attacks of […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Robert Spencer Islamic scholar says uploading photos on social media is “a great sin” against Allah “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun.

We always hear left-wing apologists shouting “Refugees welcome here, they are not dangerous, they are in danger.” The left continually want to appease the Muslim community, and if others protest against these heinous crimes, leftists become angry and even violent. When […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Faisal Malik Denmark: Muslim who fought for the Islamic State to be tried for high treason, first such charge in over 70 years If Western countries insist on bringing jihadis back, this is the way they should be handled, rather than being allowed to walk the streets freely and without surveillance, as in Britain. “Denmark Tries Returned Jihadist for High Treason in Historic Case,” Sputnik, July 20, 2020: Should 29-year-old Ahmed El-Haj be found guilty, he would become […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Robert Spencer Assad and the Ruination of Syria In the tenth year of the Syrian Civil War, Bashar al-Assad continues to rule, against all the odds. He’s supported by Iran, by Hezbollah, by Russia.

Assad […] Read more 2020-08-07  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Antifa members from US went to Syria to fight alongside Kurdish Marxist groups Communism is an internationalist movement, so this comes as no surprise.
