Muslims from across Turkey demand Hagia Sophia be turned back into mosque

May 31, 2015 9:28 pm By Robert Spencer

More Islamic supremacism in rapidly re-Islamizing Turkey. “Morning prayer held before Hagia Sophia to demand re-conversion into mosque,” Hürriyet Daily News, May 31, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): A group of devout Muslims from across Turkey prayed before the city’s historic Hagia Sophia on the 562nd anniversary of the Turkish conquest of Istanbul, demanding […]

Islamic State calls on Muslims to “kill enemies of Islam, especially Shi’ites”

May 31, 2015 9:17 pm By Robert Spencer

Not that this has anything to do with Islam. “Islamic State’s Saudi branch calls for clearing Arabian Peninsula of Shi’ites,” Reuters, May 30, 2015: DUBAI, May 30 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s branch of militant group Islamic State has said it wants to clear the Arabian Peninsula of Shi’ite Muslims and urged young men in the […]

Egypt: TV presenter gets 5 years prison for blasphemy

May 31, 2015 9:04 pm By Robert Spencer

This is part of the ongoing struggle in Egypt between the supporters of the imposition of Islamic law, who are still numerous, and the forces of secularism. “TV presenter given 5 years imprisonment for blasphemy,” Daily News Egypt, May 31, 2015 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): The Old Cairo Misdemeanour Court handed Saturday a five […]

Iraq lost 2,300 Humvee armoured vehicles to the Islamic State in Mosul

May 31, 2015 8:48 pm By Robert Spencer

Every learned analyst knows that the Islamic State is losing, but it sure camouflages it well. “Iraq lost 2,300 Humvee armoured vehicles in Mosul: PM,” AFP, May 31, 2015: Iraqi security forces lost 2,300 Humvee armoured vehicles when the Islamic State jihadist group overran the northern city of Mosul, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on […]

Islamic State expands its territory in Libya

May 31, 2015 8:39 pm By Robert Spencer

Nothing to be concerned about. Our learned and wise leaders assure us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and hence has no appeal among Muslims, and that it is, contrary to all appearances, on the defensive. So relax. Let’s go bowling. The good times will never end. “Western Officials Alarmed as […]

Yemen’s Shi’ite rebels reportedly holding four Americans hostage

May 31, 2015 1:10 pm By Robert Spencer

The jihad, in both its Sunni and Shia varieties, is more aggressive and assertive than ever in this age of Obama. “At least 4 Americans reportedly held by Yemen’s rebels,” FoxNews.com, May 31, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): At least four Americans reportedly are being held by rebels in Yemen who toppled the U.S.-backed government, […]

Arizona Muslim group: “The Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam”

May 31, 2015 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

Well, this is reassuring — and we’ve certainly never heard it before! There’s just one catch (well, maybe a few catches): note, first of all, that Ahmidiyya leader Shahzad Amjad, at least as far as this story goes, doesn’t offer a single specific example of how the Islamic State is misrepresenting the teachings of the […]

Hamas paves road near Gaza border ‘to attack Zionists’

May 31, 2015 9:17 am By Robert Spencer

Time for Obama to press the Israelis to make more concessions to the Islamic jihadists. “Hamas paves road near Gaza border ‘to attack Zionists,’” Times of Israel, May 30, 2015: Hamas is paving a new road near the Israeli border with the northern Gaza Strip which it says will be used to attack Israel in […]

Canada’s police edited out Islamic prayers from jihad murderer’s video

May 31, 2015 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

This is their explanation: the withholding was for “security purposes”: “In order to maintain the integrity of the ongoing investigation, the RCMP was limited in the amount of information it was able to publicly release.” That’s a lot of hooey. There is nothing relating to security in the withheld sections — only Islamic prayers. They […]

FBI: Jihad threat in Ohio is “scary,” public doesn’t get “the gravity of it”

May 31, 2015 7:52 am By Robert Spencer

There is no reason to believe that Ohio is special or unique in this. It just happens that a couple of jihadis in Ohio have recently been caught. They are elsewhere as well, but most Americans have no clue about that, and even the FBI, with its official policy of ignoring and denying the ideology […]

Young Muslims trying to reach Syria got instructions from Montreal mosque

May 30, 2015 5:02 pm By Robert Spencer

But…but…didn’t the mosque leaders try to dissuade them, and persuade them that the jihadis were misunderstanding Islam? “Youth trying to reach Syria got instructions from Montreal mosque, family members say,” by Allan Woods, Toronto Star, May 30, 2015: MONTREAL—Ten young Quebec Muslims who were detained for allegedly trying to join jihadist groups in Syria received […]

Jihadis don’t show up at Phoenix mosque protest, so no one gets hurt

May 30, 2015 4:47 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State had threatened to show up and commit mass murder, and specifically threatened the event organizer, but didn’t appear at the event, and so no one was hurt — despite the mainstream media hysteria over “heavily armed protesters” supposedly menacing people at the mosque. Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t have held a protest […]

Islamic State in Nigeria murders 10 with jihad suicide bomb in mosque

May 30, 2015 3:34 pm By Robert Spencer

Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State’s caliph. Why would they set off a suicide bomb in a mosque? Because the Muslims inside must have opposed them, and the caliphate, thereby placing themselves in a state of war against Allah and his messenger. “Nigeria mosque suicide bomb kills 10 in Maiduguri city,” Independent, […]

Islamic State claims 2nd suicide bombing at Shi’ite mosque in Saudi Arabia

May 30, 2015 3:22 pm By Robert Spencer

On the march, while the world looks the other way, makes excuses, and intones, “This has nothing to do with Islam.” “Islamic State claims 2nd suicide bombing at Saudi mosque,” Chicago Tribune, May 29, 2015: A suicide bomber disguised as a woman blew himself up in the parking lot of a Shiite mosque during Friday […]

Islamic State rapidly expanding into Southeast Asia

May 30, 2015 3:14 pm By Robert Spencer

The Islamic State is attracting the allegiance of so many Muslims from around the world, one might be forgiven for getting the impression that it actually has something to do with Islam. Of course we know that couldn’t possibly be the case: Barack Obama and John Kerry and David Cameron assure us otherwise, and they […]

Canada to strip citizenship of dual-national terror convicts

May 30, 2015 2:47 pm By Robert Spencer

Common sense, and long overdue, but already, predictably enough, being challenged by the pro-suicide forces in the West, which are so strong these days. “Canada to strip citizenship of dual-national terror convicts,” Associated Press, May 29, 2015 (thanks t0 Jerk Chicken): TORONTO (AP) — Canada can revoke the Canadian citizenship of dual nationals convicted of […]

In the face of a national scandal revolving around Muslim rape gangs, the UK police counsel…surrender.

Robert Spencer, PJM: The man we all must love

May 30, 2015 9:34 am By Robert Spencer

The mainstream media is clear: we all must love Muhammad now — or else. My latest at PJ Media: The winner is clear, and to the winner be the laurels. There is one man only that all people — regardless of race, creed, color, political perspective, nationality, and whatever else — must respect: Muhammad, the […]

NYT runs dung-caked Mary painting again, won’t run Muhammad cartoons

May 30, 2015 5:32 am By Robert Spencer

The hypocrisy is stark and absolute: “Under Times standards, we do not normally publish images or other material deliberately intended to offend religious sensibilities” — unless it offends a group that is not committing mass murder and threatening more over such images. This is, as I wrote yesterday, still more mainstream media canonization of the […]
