Did the Muslim jihadists in Paris choose November 13 for its symbolic value in planning their attacks? Over at Terror Trends Bulletin, a brief but weighty post conveys what to most of us is a forgotten historical footnote (Thanks to Emanuel): The Historical Significance of November 13th in Islam: On November 13, 1918 the Allied troops […]
Carson on the Islamic State: “We have to destroy their caliphate…before they destroy us”
“We’re talking about global jihadists, and their desire is to destroy us and to destroy our way of life….our goal is not to contain them but to destroy them before they destroy us.” Why is it so rare to hear presidential candidates make such simple, obvious and commonsensical statements? “Carson on ISIS: ‘Destroy Their Caliphate,’” […]
51% of U.S. Muslims want Sharia; 60% of young Muslims more loyal to Islam than to U.S.
Really, what did you expect? A considerable portion of U.S. domestic and foreign policy is based on the assumption that Islam in the U.S. will be different: that Muslims here believe differently from those elsewhere, and do not accept the doctrines of violence against and subjugation of unbelievers that have characterized Islam throughout its history. […]
Carson calls for revocation of Hamas-linked terror organization CAIR’s tax-exempt status
They demanded he drop out of the race. They’re a 501c3 organization, and such organizations are not supposed to intervene in campaigns either on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate. Clearly the gang of thugs at Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, is in violation of the law […]
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid slanders Ben Carson, lies about Islam
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid is, as Pamela Geller calls him, “a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy.” He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied […]
Audio: Robert Spencer on the Larry Elder Show: Ben Carson was right about Islam
I appeared on the great Larry Elder’s show a few days ago, and Larry and I had an in-depth discussion of the media brouhaha over Ben Carson’s remarks on Sharia and a Muslim President. I explained why Carson was right on all points, and why his media interviewers, notably Jake Tapper, were acting more as […]
Ben Carson Exposes Islamic Taqiyya
Of all the points presidential candidate Ben Carson made in defense of his position that he “would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” most poignant is his reference to taqiyya, one of Islam’s doctrines of deception. According to Carson, whoever becomes president should be “sworn in on a stack […]
Reuters: Trump and Carson are fueling “Islamophobia”
One would think that if there is any genuine “Islamophobia” — that is, unjust suspicion of innocent Muslims — that it is fueled by Islamic jihad attacks and plots, by the perpetrators of those plots justifying their actions and making recruits among peaceful Muslims by pointing to Islamic texts and teachings, by the Islamic State […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Islamophobes who agree with Ben Carson
In PJ Media today I show how Carson almost literally quoted Islamic doctrine and prominent Muslim leadership, and for this he is labeled a bigot. By now it’s clear: even fellow Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have piled on, the mainstream media is in an uproar, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) […]
Hamas-linked CAIR announces Qur’an giveaway in response to Ben Carson’s remarks
Over at PamelaGeller.com, I discuss what people will find if they actually open up those handsome Hamas-linked CAIR Qur’ans: Hamas-linked CAIR announced in a press release that it “today announced the renewal of its ‘Share the Quran’ campaign in response to Republican candidate Ben Carson’s false claim that Islam is ‘inconsistent’ with the Constitution.” Great […]
