This is the Britain that Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron have made. Why has Mizanur Rahman’s sermon “sparked fresh outrage”? Why is anyone upset about it at all? After all, I was banned from Britain for saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Obama’s Absurd West Point Speech
In FrontPage today I discuss how Obama identified terrorism as the greatest threat we face, while having forbidden discussion of what exactly that terrorism is. Barack Obama gave the commencement address at the United States Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, and piled absurdity upon absurdity. “For the foreseeable future, the most direct threat […]
AFDI Truth About CAIR ads go up in New York City, immediately defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti
This is right on the money: “It’s very telling that their vandalism is anti-Semitic. The vandalism demonstrates yet again the desperate insecurity and authoritarian tendencies of the foes of the U.S., Israel and freedom. The supporters of Hamas-tied CAIR and the Palestinian jihad cannot answer our arguments or refute our assertions. They cannot debate so […]
Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Bob Dylan told us to come to Israel
While the BDS movement and Pink Floyd’s execrable Roger Waters tried to intimidate the Stones into cancelling their stop in Tel Aviv, one artist was clear-sighted and noble, and encouraged them to go there. “Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Dylan told us to come to Israel,” by David Brinn, Jerusalem Post, May 27, 2014: Ronnie Wood, […]
Sharia in action: Kuwaiti woman loses child custody after wearing a bikini
Kuwaiti politicians say that ”wearing a bikini is not a personal choice or a matter of personal freedom,” but rather ”an assault on local values and sense of decency and modesty.” Wearing one runs counter to “the precepts of Islam.” And that’s that, in Kuwait, and increasingly in the West as well, courtesy of terrified […]
Robert Spencer in Aleteia: Did Boko Haram Just Win?
Over at Aleteia today I discuss the latest developments in the abduction of the Nigerian schoolgirls by the jihad group Boko Haram: Nigerian Air Marshal Alex Badeh announced Monday that the Nigerian military had discovered the location of the nearly 300 girls abducted by the jihadist group Boko Haram. However, he said there were no […]
Iraq’s Shi’ite Prime Minister calls for jihad against Sunni jihadists
The U.S. did all it could to paper over Sunni-Shi’ite hostility in Iraq, but now it is stronger than ever, exacerbated by the conflict in Syria, which has morphed from being an anti-Assad operation into a Sunni-Shi’ite jihad. American analysts, true to form, underestimated how difficult it would be to heal a 1,400-year-old antagonism. “Iraq […]

Central African Republic: Islamic jihadists storm church, murder at least 30
The mainstream media has portrayed the violence in the Central African Republic as emanating solely from the Christians, generally without noting that they were reacting to initial persecution from the Muslims. No violence against innocent people is ever justified; the mainstream media only notices such violence in the Central African Republic when Christians are the […]
Florida: Would-be jihad mass murderer allowed not to stand when judge enters court; demands taxpayer-funded Islamic clothing
He wanted to commit mass murder in the name of Islam and jihad, and now he wants taxpayers to provide him clothing that reflects those same religious beliefs. And when Judge Scriven granted him permission not to stand when she entered, was she aware of the fact that Osmakac’s remaining seated signifies that he doesn’t […]
