Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Two New York men charged with trying to run weapons to Hizballah

Oct 28, 2009 1:57 pm By Robert Spencer

It’s unclear at this point whether they are Islamic jihadists or just useful idiots. “‘Hezbollah’ dad tried to help thugs,” by Kati Cornell and Joe Mollica for the New York Post, October 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): Two men — including a married father of two from Queens — were hit with […]

Indonesia: Women in Aceh must wear skirts, not pants

Oct 28, 2009 1:56 pm By Marisol Seibold

Sharia Alert, as Aceh weighs in on a currently active discussion in Islamic jurisprudence: whether women can wear pants. Sudan relented on a flogging sentence after intense international scrutiny, while Egypt’s Mufti Ali Gomaa said pants are permissible, as long as they are “modest.” Muhammad, for his part, “cursed the effeminate men and those women […]

Owner of halal meatpacking plant in Chicago plotted to kill Danish Motoonist

Oct 28, 2009 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

The mysterious raid on the halal meatpacking plant, which I noted here last week, turns out to be connected to this plot to kill the Danish Motoonist Kurt Westergaard — “the Mickey Mouse Project.” “Two Chicago men charged in terror scheme,” by Natasha Korecki for the Chicago Sun Times, October 28 (thanks to Pamela): When […]

Oct 28, 2009 10:02 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic countries pushing global “blasphemy” law

Oct 28, 2009 8:19 am By Robert Spencer

As noted here many times, such a law would criminalize all honest exploration of the Islamic motives and goals of the jihadis, thereby rendering us defenseless against them. What is odd here is that the Christian Science Monitor says that the U.S. is opposing this initiative. That is good news if it is true, but […]

Selective outrage: Islamic world fuming over German who murdered hijab-wearing woman

Oct 28, 2009 7:41 am By Robert Spencer

The photo above is from a protest in Istanbul. Note the flag following the coffin, featuring the swastika and the Star of David. What does demonizing Israel have to do with this case? Why, nothing — but it is all part of the larger jihad against the West. The selectivity of the outrage here is […]

Oct 28, 2009 6:36 am By Robert Spencer

Rifqa Bary in grave danger: her father’s attorney reneged on a deal in order to get her back to Ohio without protection or allies

Oct 28, 2009 6:05 am By Robert Spencer

Here is a very serious message from Muslim apostate Rifqa Bary’s friend Jamal Jivanjee. You may recall that Judge Daniel Dawson in Florida had said that he would not send Rifqa back to Ohio, where she says her father had threatened to kill her for converting from Islam to Christianity, until he received her family’s […]

Toronto imam who prayed for destruction of Infidels says that only Misunderstanders of Islam would take offense at that

Oct 28, 2009 2:35 am By Robert Spencer

Social engineering on steroids: British immigration policies an attempt “to make the UK truly multicultural'”

Oct 27, 2009 1:14 pm By Marisol Seibold

Therein lies a fundamental dogma of the modern political discourse: Multiculturalism is good for its own sake. All cultural practices are equally valid, and will not come into conflict with one another if everybody just tries really, really hard to get along. In addition, it is always Western civilization that is singled out for needing […]

The Islamization of Denmark — a case study

Oct 27, 2009 12:23 pm By Robert Spencer

In “Tingbjerg: one neighborhood’s nightmare” at Human Rights Service, October 26, Bruce Bawer gives a glimpse of the kind of thing that will be happening in the United States before too long, unless there is some drastic change in numerous policies: Few people outside of Denmark have heard of Tingbjerg. It’s a residential neighborhood in […]

Shocker: Hillary Clinton breaks with her boss, denounces “defamation of religion” laws

Oct 27, 2009 11:33 am By Robert Spencer

Finding courage Obama just had the U.S. at the UN consponsor with Egypt a resolution against inciting religious hatred. But apparently his Secretary of State is not on board, or not completely on board. “Clinton Denounces Proposed ‘Defamation of Religions’ Policies,” by Michelle A. Vu for the Christian Post, October 27 (thanks to Islam In […]

Rifqa Bary returns to Ohio, judge restricts her phone and Internet use

Oct 27, 2009 9:58 am By Robert Spencer

AP says: “Jim Zorn, an agency attorney, says Bary’s use of Facebook was one issue that led to the girl’s situation.” So now the Ohio court is officially accepting her father’s construction of events, that the Christians in Florida who took her in had “brainwashed” her — and apparently made her think that her father […]

Ohio Children Services official says he has no reason to believe apostate Rifqa Bary wouldn’t be safe with her parents

Oct 27, 2009 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

After all, they said she would be. And they couldn’t conceivably not be telling the truth, could they? “Mohamed Bary has denied the allegations, and a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation found no credible threat to her safety.” See over at Atlas Shrugs exactly how spectacularly the FDLE mishandled their questioning of Rifqa herself.

“There’s a nationwide effort to suppress the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks”

Oct 27, 2009 9:13 am By Robert Spencer

They were Muslim terrorists. To identify them as such is simply to tell the truth, not to “disparage” an “ethnic group.” What ethnicity are Muslims again? Would a plaque reading “murdered by Nazis” on a soldier’s grave in 1943 be opposed on the grounds that it would be offensive to Germans? This gingerly political correctness […]

UN report demands repeal of counterterror laws to promote “gender equality”

Oct 27, 2009 12:30 am By Robert Spencer

This is not a joke. Well, it is, but it is true. “U.N. Report Demands Repeal of Counterterrorism Laws to Promote ‘Gender Equality,’” by Joseph Abrams for FoxNews, October 21 (thanks to Jed Babbin): In case you weren’t sure, human gender is “changeable over time and contexts,” sex slaves must not be “stigmatized” for their […]
