Illinois mall jihadist gets 35 years in prison, man

Sep 30, 2008 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

He said: “I swear by Allah, man … I’m down to live for the cause and die for the cause, man.” I wonder if he is down to serve 35 years in the slammer, man. He also said, “I just want to smoke a judge.” He’ll have to settle for Marlboro Lights. Talib Abu Salam […]

Islamophobic terrorists attack Ohio mosque! No, wait…

Sep 30, 2008 2:46 pm By Robert Spencer

I first encountered Aziz Poonawalla during my exchanges with the frothing psychopath Dean Esmay, as he is a contributor to his blog.

“But don’t you think that the real problem is not Islam but Islamophobia?”

Sep 30, 2008 1:34 pm By Robert Spencer

At Pajamas Media today the superb Bruce Bawer asks the question, “Who’s Sleeping More Deeply “” Europe or America?”: […] Make no mistake: if Europeans are, on average, more aware than Americans of the realities of Islam, it’s no thanks to their media but rather because they can see with their own eyes what’s going […]

Sep 30, 2008 11:02 am By Robert Spencer

Strache: A limp-handed Nazi salute? The perceptive and courageous Melanie Phillips here discusses a phenomenon that Hugh and I have discussed at Jihad Watch several times over the years: that the mainstream parties in Europe are either mute or complicit in the face of the threat of the Islamization of the continent, and have thus […]

Professor says Obsession film “smells” and is “pure propaganda”

Sep 30, 2008 11:01 am By Raymond Ibrahim

If this “conflict-resolution” professor deems the Obsession film “pure propaganda,” at least one Middle East history professor thinks otherwise. Wonder who knows more?

Nigeria: Rep urges Muslims to emulate Muhammad

Sep 30, 2008 8:33 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Kenya: “Islamists” attack church in northern town in effort to seize land for mosque

Sep 30, 2008 12:03 am By Marisol Seibold

Here is an exceptionally detailed Islamic Tolerance Alert, and also a case study in the limitations on the usefulness of the term “Islamist.” The mainstream media uses it in some settings to describe proponents of Islam as a political platform (for example, in Turkey) who are not at the moment employing or endorsing open warfare; […]

Does Islam Justify Honor Killings?

Sep 29, 2008 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Hijab as aphrodisiac

Sep 29, 2008 9:40 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Not “a symbol of oppression” but “a representation of culture and choice” Naomi Wolf, self-styled infidel-defender-of-the-hijab seems to be influencing other infidel women about the wonders of Islamic wear.

Muslim Obsession interviewee throws Obsession under the bus, calls it “Satanic”

Sep 29, 2008 9:33 am By Robert Spencer

The audacity of BS Khaleel Mohammed, a professor at San Diego State University and a popular “moderate Muslim,” goes around the country reassuring Jewish audiences by telling them that in the Qur’an Allah gives the land of Israel to the Jews.
