And Pamela Geller and I are banned from Britain. The world is upside down. “Exclusive: Banned Cleric’s Outspoken Deputy Visits White House,” by Steven Emerson and John Rossomando for IPT News, June 26: Radical Egyptian cleric Yusuf Qaradawi is considered so radical that the United States bans him from entering the country. Qaradawi, considered the […]

Interfaith outreach in Iraq: Islamic jihadists wound two Christians in attack on church
How terrible that greasy Islamophobes want this kind of thing stopped. It upsets all the marvelous interfaith harmony that is going on. “Two Christians Wounded in Church Attack in Iraq; another Killed in Store Bombing,” from Morning Star News, June 28: CAIRO, Egypt (Morning Star News) — Authorities are investigating an attack by gunmen at […]
A bridge too far: Leftist writers argue that Spencer and Geller should be admitted into the UK
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the UK here. When even hard-Left writers like Alex Seitz-Wald and Matt Duss (fastidiously distancing themselves from us, of course, much like Melanie Phillips and The Commentator) denounce the banning of Pamela Geller and me from Britain, maybe the British government has gone a bit too […]
Melanie Phillips sends the enemies of the United Kingdom the message that they have it on the run
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the UK here. Here is the second piece today (the first is here) from an “ally” rushing to our defense while hastening to assure the world that she is not at all like us — a position that is self-defeating no matter what one may think […]
Douglas Murray: A gross double standard over hate speech
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country here. Not everyone who is protesting against the outrageous injustice of our being banned from Britain is at the same time a lily-livered sellout. In “A gross double standard over hate speech” in The Spectator, June 27, Douglas Murray adduces the same examples I […]
The Commentator is right behind us — about 500 miles back
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country here. There are a couple of pieces from England today that take issue with the ban on Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, while making it clear that they don’t support us as such, but simply deplore the erosion of the freedom […]
Sharia in action in Saudi Arabia: Religious police stop wedding because bride wasn’t covering her face and groom was holding her hand
But…but…Imam Rauf and Reza Aslan assure us that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Western understandings of human rights! Reality check: “Saudi police stop wedding in park,” from Emirates 24/7, June 27 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police raided a park in the Gulf Kingdom and stopped a wedding […]
Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party asks Dutch government to stand for freedom of speech, protest UK ban of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer
Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party has issued this statement in our defense: “PVV: Engeland behaagt weer eens de islam door critici de mond te snoeren” (thanks to Pamela Geller). Here is my cleaned-up version of the Google Translate version of the statement. Corrections gratefully received. Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country […]
UK’s Express manipulates photo to smear Spencer and Geller
Which one’s Pamela? “Anti-Muslim speakers BANNED from entering UK to speak at EDL rally” in the Express, June 27, is just another viciously biased mainstream media report, but I was particularly amused by the photo above. While both Pamela Geller and I are named in the caption, neither of us are actually in the photo, […]
UK: Muslim brothers jailed for life in yet another sex slavery case
These rape and sex slavery gangs are bad, but even worse would be to let into the country anyone who would talk honestly about how such actions are justified within Islam, which would explain why there are so many such gangs. Better to pretend that there is no problem at all. Sign the petition asking […]
Syria: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders four in Christian area, near a church
Meanwhile, the friends and allies of these jihad murderers are doing all they can to discredit and silence anyone and everyone who dares to speak out in defense of those who are persecuted by jihadis and Islamic supremacists. Please sign the petition asking the Bishop of Sacramento to reject one such effort and allow me […]
Mark Steyn on banning of Spencer and Geller from UK: “Freedom of speech is dead in England…No good will come from this.”
Steyn is right. May claims to be working for the public good and trying to quell violence, but by closing off legitimate debate about jihad and Islamic supremacism, she is inciting violence: the jihadists will see that they can act with impunity, and frustration will increase among those few who are standing against them. Meanwhile, […]
Syria: Islamic jihadists murder priest during attack on monastery
How delightful it is that the U.S. is aiding these jihadists. And how wonderful that enlightened folks are doing everything they can to destroy people who dare to speak out against jihad murders like this one. Please sign the petition asking the Bishop of Sacramento to allow me to speak: Petition by iPetitions “Custos of […]
AP tells a tiny part of the story
The Associated Press has a story on the banning of Pamela Geller and me from the UK. It is the usual mainstream media fare: almost completely one-sided. AP’s James Brooks quotes from the Home Secretary, quotes from the fascist group Hope Not Hate, and offers us no opportunity to rebut their false and defamatory claims […]
Roger Kimball: Free speech in the UK: Sayonara
Here is a fine piece by Roger Kimball in PJ Media on the campaign of defamation against Pamela Geller and me, and against anyone and everyone who dares to speak the truth about jihad and Islamic supremacism. Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country here. “US Bloggers banned from Entering the […]
A day of mourning for those persecuted in Islamic regimes
Recently in Canada an event was held to highlight the plight of those suffering persecution in Muslim nations, and the complicit silence of the majority of our politicians and chattering classes on this matter. For while some Western governments continue to persecute counter-jihad fighters for the truth, some Islamic states continue to murder Christians with […]
Robert Spencer: Britain Embraces Jihad Terror
In FrontPage this morning I show that it is perfectly acceptable to speak about jihad violence in the UK, as long as you’re for it. If you oppose it, watch out. Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country here. Wednesday morning I received an official letter from the British Home Office, […]
New York Muslim admits to trying to join al-Qaeda, murder “American agents or whatever, U.S. Special Forces”
“In that same conversation Kaliebe also said he was prepared to die. ‘It’s what anyone would want, any believer would want.’” Clearly Kaliebe has been imbibing the distorted version of Islam hawked by greasy Islamophobes. Why weren’t the Muslim leaders who knew him able to counter his misunderstandings of Islam? “New York Man Admits Planning […]
Egyptian politician calls U.S. Ambassador Patterson ‘member of Muslim Brotherhood sleeper cell’
More information concerning the blatantly pro-Brotherhood position of the United States continues to emerge. Earlier, U.S. ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson exposed the Obama administration’s allegiance when she urged Egyptians””including the beleaguered Christian Copts“”not to protest against the Muslim Brotherhood as planned for June 30. Now, in a recent live interview on Tahrir TV, former […]
Seattle takes down “Faces of Global Terrorism” bus ads because the terrorists are all Muslims
And that means it’s “Islamophobic” to try to identify or apprehend them. Better to pretend that there are only Muslims on the poster because of “racism” and “Islamophobia” than to ask the tough questions about what it is about Islam that incites people to commit acts of violence and terror, and to challenge the Muslim […]
