The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s slant on this issue was predictable, but not for that any more excusable. The real women who need “empowerment” are not those who wear the hijab, who are praised and hailed in article after article like this one, and celebrated in World Hijab Day, but those women who have been brutalized […]
Trump withdrawing US from UN Human Rights Council over its “relentless, pathological campaign” against Israel
Bravo. Long overdue. At last, an administration that doesn’t respect the polite fiction that the UN is a neutral arbiter. Next step should be withdrawal from the UN altogether, and its expulsion from New York City. “Trump administration withdrawing from UN Human Rights Council,” by Andrew O’Reilly, Fox News, June 19, 2018: The Trump administration […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: When I Tried to Give Gifts to the FBI
The idea that there was a jihad threat made Obama-era FBI agents recoil in horror. My latest in FrontPage: The Department of Justice inspector general report has begun to reveal the extent of FBI corruption, and it’s pandemic. One notable indication of this corruption that the report reveals is that the Obama-era FBI was only […]
Australia: Muslim mob screaming “F*** off Christians” stomps on Christian’s head and breaks table over his head
No one will pay any particular attention to this. But just imagine the international outcry had the roles been reversed. This would be front-page news for weeks. That in itself demonstrates that the establishment media is more interested in pushing an agenda than actually reporting events. “‘Muslims were calling Christians f***ing dogs’: Inside the Liberal […]
The Grotesque Immorality of Mainstream Islamic Ethics (Part 1)
I am a Canadian ex-Muslim male; I converted to Islam and stayed in the religion for approximately four years, before leaving it due to disbelief and moral disgust. Now I live every day with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy, hoping that my former Muslim friends don’t recognize me on the street. The […]
Italy: Palermo mayor wants fully open borders, compares residency permits to “death penalty”
Mayor of the Sicilian city of Palermo Leoluca Orlando has declared that Italy should ban residency permits altogether and allow migrants to flood into the country, comparing the permits as morally equivalent to the death penalty. In Leoluca Orlando’s view, all vetting of immigrants and refugees must stop now. The Italian mayor’s comments show him […]
Presbyterian Church USA Poised to Condemn Islam, Muhammad and the Qur’an….
The 223rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) kicks off this week (June 16-23). It promises to be an orgy of progressive delights — from bashing America’s immigration policies to demonizing fossil fuels to trashing Israel while apotheosizing Palestine to global warming warnings to the horrors of white privilege to the blessings of […]
New Zealand: Police department welcomes imam who called Jews “the enemy” for Ramadan event
Anwar Sahib was removed from Federation of Islamic Associations in 2016 for anti-Semitic remarks. But the Counties Manukau Police department had no problem welcoming him for Ramadan. And one can sympathize: it is very, very hard indeed to find an imam who doesn’t have some kind of spot on his record, and so if outreach […]
US Catholic bishops call Trump’s asylum rules “immoral,” suggest barring supporters from communion
This is not just about the Southern border. Jihad Watch reported last April that “the U.S. Catholic bishops submitted a brief to the Supreme Court declaring that President Donald Trump’s ban on migration from five Muslim countries was ‘blatant religious discrimination.’” Is it really? And do the U.S. Catholic bishops feel any obligation to support […]
France: Qur’an found in car that rammed police van
One might almost think that all this had something to do with Islam, if our moral superiors weren’t here to assure us otherwise. “Quran Found in Vehicle Purposely Rammed into French Police,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 18, 2018: Police in Paris discovered a Quran along with texts in Arabic in a car which was used […]
Muslim Uber driver in New York City kicks lesbian couple out of car for kissing: “It’s disrespectful”
“Disrespectful”? Disrespectful to what? Probably Ahmad al Boutari meant that it was disrespectful to Islam, like the chap on the flight in Britain who flew into a rage after being served what he thought was pork. The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. […]
“This book shows that the foreign policy establishment of the West is on the wrong track, and has been for decades”
I was recently interviewed by Saurav Dutt about my new book, The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, which you can preorder here. “Robert Spencer : The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS,” by Saurav Dutt, Medium, June 14, 2018: I sat down to speak with Robert Spencer about his hard hitting new book […]
Australia: Three KFC stores refuse to sell bacon on sandwiches, as they use only halal products
The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, non-Muslims should change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims should change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities. If you’re a non-Muslim in Punchbowl and want bacon on your KFC sandwich, you’re out of luck. The Muslims eschew […]
UK: Muslim attacked cops with 4-foot sword, left note, “By the time you read this note I will be in paradise with Allah”
Just another day in the gloriously diverse UK. “‘Queen hating’ Uber driver ‘attacked police with 4ft sword’ outside Buckingham Palace,” by Joe Gamp, Express, June 18, 2018: An ISIS-supporting Uber driver in London accused of attempting to run down police officers outside Buckingham Palace and attack them with a samurai sword allegedly did so because […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Swiss Foreign Minister Tells the Truth, Causes “Surprise and Consternation”
The latest news from Switzerland: Experts have reacted with surprise and consternation to Swiss foreign affairs minister Ignazio Cassis’ comments that the United Nations’ aid work for Palestinian refugees is a stumbling block to peace in the Middle East. So long as Palestinians live in refugee camps, they can dream of returning home, Cassis said […]
Canada: Jihadists bolder than ever, and Trudeau weakens anti-terrorism laws
While some of Canada’s worst cold-blooded murderers are locked up in penitentiaries, jihadists who are even worse are running free among Canadian citizens, welcomed in by the Prime Minister himself. He also tells Canadians that despite these facts, that they can feel safe. Abu Huzaifa al-Kanadi is a jihadist of one of the worst kinds; […]
Finland: Muslim asylum seeker who went on stabbing spree gets life sentence, i.e. 12 to 20 years
A Moroccan asylum-seeker who was the subject of Finland’s first terrorism trial was handed down a life sentence for a stabbing spree he went on last year. Abderrahman Bouanane murdered two and injured eight, yet he smiled from the dock when his trial began. He wanted to “spread fear among citizens and likely wished to […]
Allah + Appeasement = Abomination
That Islam is a merit/demerit based religion is beyond question. One’s eternal destiny hinges (as far as any human actions can sway the will of Allah) on how well or poorly one obeys the divine commands, now conveniently gathered in what is known as Shari’ah law (in one approved version or another). The goal of […]
Germany: Muslim migrant sexually assaults 90-year-old woman in her bed at nursing home
Danke, Merkel! Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual […]
SPLC apologizes, pays $3,375,000 to Maajid Nawaz for smearing him as “anti-Muslim extremist”
It’s good to see the hard-Left smear machine the SPLC lose a battle, but it is likely that it only gave in to Nawaz because he is a Leftist. The rest of us on the list continue to be defamed and marginalized by our presence on the list, since the establishment media continues to cite […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Lawyer who defended anti-hijab protesters arrested, taken to prison called “hell on earth”
One would think that Western feminists would be speaking up for Nasrin Sotoudeh, but that would be “Islamophobic.” “Human rights lawyer is arrested and taken to Iran’s notorious Evin prison known as ‘hell on earth’ after defending anti-hijab protesters,” by George Martin, Mailonline, June 13, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report): Iran’s award-winning human rights […]
Robert Spencer video: Geert Wilders puts the political elites on notice
In this new video, I discuss Geert Wilders’ recent speech at a massive rally for Tommy Robinson. “Our governments,” Wilders declared, “sold us out with mass immigration. With Islamization. With open borders. We are almost foreigners in our own lands. And if we complain about it, they call us racists and Islamophobes.”
