Ruqiya Farah Yarow is a name in this news story. By this time tomorrow, she will be forgotten. And that is telling. Muslims in the West claim to stand for religious freedom — the freedom to wear the veil. They even held World Hijab Day to proclaim and celebrate that freedom. Barack Obama has congratulated himself […]

Hamas imam to Jews: “We will totally exterminate you”
Yet another open call for genocide of the Jews, airing on Hamas’s TV channel. Where is the international media? Too busy repeating Hamas propaganda to take any notice. “Hamas Sermon from the Gaza Strip: Our Doctrine Entails Exterminating the Jews,” MEMRI, July 25, 2014: Al-Aqsa TV, the Hamas TV channel, aired on Friday, July 25, […]
Only 27 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of Muslims, down from 35 percent in 2010
This article decries the conflation of Arabs and Muslims and yet aids and abets it by lumping Arabs and Muslims together in the headline and throughout the piece. Yet it also correctly notes that most Arabs in the U.S. are not Muslims and most Muslims worldwide are not Arabs. Bringing Arabs into the poll at […]
France: Books calling for jihad and the murder of “heretics” sold at supermarkets
And French authorities can do nothing: “According to Le Figaro, distributors have ignored petitions and criticism and the authorities have no legal recourse to impose a ban on them.” Yet the call for jihad is an open call for the destruction of the French Republic and its replacement by a very different governmental and societal […]
Germany: Muslim throws petrol bombs at synagogue
Increasing violence against Jews worldwide. Increasingly open calls for jihad and genocide. Islamic jihadis can see that Western authorities are weak, confused, compromised, or all of the above. And they are taking full advantage of the situation. “German police arrest 18-year-old after attack on synagogue,” Reuters, July 29, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): BERLIN: German […]
One of Hamas’ main command bunkers located beneath Shifa Hospital in Gaza City
Western reporters know this, but don’t give it much attention. Why not? Why, that might offend Hamas, as it would reinforce Israeli claims that they’re deliberately trying to provoke civilian casualties. And we can’t have that, now, can we? “Top Secret Hamas Command Bunker in Gaza Revealed,” Tablet, July 29, 2014: The idea that one […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: Obama’s Muslim Founding Fathers
Obama recently praised the “contributions of Muslim Americans to building the very fabric of our nation.” In FrontPage today I try to find some. In his message to Muslims on their holiday Eid al-Fitr, issued Sunday, Barack Obama asserted that “Eid also reminds us of the many achievements and contributions of Muslim Americans to building […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists of Boko Haram murder at least six with jihad-martyrdom suicide bombs in mosques
Why would the Congregation of the People of the Sunnah for Dawah and Jihad, aka Boko Haram, target mosques? Aren’t the mosques full of Muslims? Yes, but the wrong kind of Muslims. “Suicide bombers kill at least six in Nigeria mosques,” AFP, July 29, 2014: Suicide bombers attacked two mosques in northeast Nigeria’s Yobe state […]
Ex-Muslim critic of Islam expelled from Norway, faces deportion to Pakistan and death
Firasat has been sent back to Spain, where he faces deportation to Pakistan. In Pakistan, he would certainly be killed. “The Spanish Supreme Court has ruled that Firasat should be expelled from the country, being a security threat.” But it is not actually Imran Firasat who is the security threat; it is the Muslims who […]
The Glazov Gang: Who is killing “Palestinian” children?
On this week’s Glazov Gang, the Great Glazov was joined by Dr. Anna Geifman, a scholar who has taught in the History Deptartment at Boston University for over 20 years and is now senior researcher at the Deptartment of Political Studies at the University of Bar Ilan in Israel. Her latest book is Death Orders: […]
14 ways Hamas weaponizes women, children, animals against Israel
PJ Media has put together an extraordinarily powerful and informative resource here. No one who goes through this material with an open mind will be able to support the “Palestinians.” A small excerpt with background: Although in 2005 Israel gave up Gaza to the Palestinians in a naive “land for peace” unilateral withdrawal, the result […]
Hamas military top dog: Our fighters are eager for death
On this (and this may be the only thing), Hamas and the IDF are in complete accord. In any case, this is just another statement of the Islamic jihadists’ oft-repeated desire for death. A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of […]
London: Anti-Israel Muslims block traffic, wave al-Qaeda flag
Here again, we see the jihadist sentiments displayed openly, without fear of the British authorities. And that’s understandable. With the Cameron government having capitulated utterly to Islamic supremacists, the last thing these thugs have to worry about is action from the police. “Anti-Israel Protesters Block London Traffic, Wave Al Qaeda Flag,” Arutz Sheva, July 29, […]
U.S. Muslim leader: Blasphemy not punishable by death in Islam
The Leftist Jewish publication Tikkun has reprinted a 2011 piece by Dr. Aslam Abdullah, editor in chief of the weekly Muslim Observer and director of the Islamic Society of Nevada. In 2011 at IslamiCity it was called “Is Blaspheme Punishable by Death in Islam?” ; Tikkun has corrected the title to “Is Blasphemy Punishable by […]
Third rocket arsenal found in UN school in Gaza
There needs to be an investigation of the UNRWA over this. Could it really keep happening without any UN officials knowing what was going on? The problem is, who can investigate the United Nations? Not Obama’s investigative or intelligence apparatus. In any case, if we had a President who had America and its allies’ best […]
Israeli reporter says Obama-Netanyahu transcript legitimate
Both Obama and Netanyahu are denying it, however, but they could be expected to do nothing else, given the circumstances. The strongest indication of the authenticity of the transcript is its absolute believability, knowing what we know about Obama and his view of Israel. The transcript is here. “US and Israel deny report of harsh […]
Obama to Netanyahu: “I expect Israel to stop all its military actions unilaterally”
UPDATE: It’s accurate — it comes from a tape leaked to the media. UPDATE 2: On the other hand, the Administration is denying the authenticity of this transcript, however much it rings true: We have seen reports of an alleged POTUS-Netanyahu transcript; neither reports nor alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality 1/2 — @NSCPress […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Newsmax TV discusses the jihad against Israel
Today I was on Newsmax TV’s MidPoint discussing the conflict between Israel and the “Palestinians.” Host Ed Berliner and I packed a lot into just a few minutes.
Hillary Clinton: Hamas uses human shields because “Gaza is pretty small”
Clinton shows no recognition whatsoever, any more than does anyone else in Washington, of Hamas statements such as “killing Jews is worship that draws us closer to Allah” and “Whoever kills a Jew goes to heaven.” Neither she nor any other Washington policymaker shows any recognition of Hamas’s repeated calls for the destruction of Israel. […]
Belgium calls for clear labeling of goods from Israeli settlements
Britain, Denmark, and now Belgium follow in the footsteps of the Nazis who called for boycotts of Jewish-owned shops in Germany at the beginning of the National Socialist regime. “We don’t see this as a sanction against Israel,” said a Belgian spokeswoman, but of course that is exactly what it is: a notice that the […]
