Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Faisalabad church

May 29, 2015 5:51 pm By Robert Spencer

“The motive behind the attack was personal enmity. It is not an act of terrorism,” claimed Station House Officer (SHO) Sadar police station Malik Muhammad Jahangir Khan. Faisalabad’s Mohallah Noorpur Chak cleric Dilawar Masih, however, disagreed, saying: “Though no human loss was reported in this incident, attackers gave a clear-cut message that Christians and their […]

Malaysia: For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy

May 29, 2015 9:56 am By Robert Spencer

“O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102) Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the […]

These People Are Speaking a Strange Language

May 29, 2015 9:36 am By Michael Devolin

“These people are speaking a strange language. It is strange to me And strange, I think, even to themselves.” -Louis Simpson I am a lover of words. I have a collection of dictionaries. I love the way words can articulate meaning in just a certain way. In my Penguin Dictionary I found the word pronoid, […]

Islamic State demolishes Christian church in Syria

May 29, 2015 9:32 am By Raymond Ibrahim

The Assyrian Network for Human Rights recently published the following photograph saying they are the demolished remains of the Church of Saint Mar Beesho‘a in Tel Shamiran, an Assyrian Christian village located in the countryside of the northern city of Hasakah—which was earlier occupied and ransacked by the Islamic State.

Egypt: Explosive goes off next to church

May 29, 2015 9:29 am By Raymond Ibrahim

A homemade explosive planted next to a Coptic Christian church was detonated around sunset on May 16. Although there were no human casualties at the St. George Church in Tamiya (Fayum governorate), as the church was mostly empty except for clergy, the church’s administrative offices and second floor glass was shattered, creating chaos and panic in the […]

Freedom, Provocation and Targets

May 29, 2015 9:25 am By Ralph Sidway

The Muslim predisposition towards jihad means “no cartoons required.” The recent Muslim jihad attack at a Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Garland Texas has generated strong reactions across the political spectrum. Four of us in my church recently had a fairly rigorous discussion of some of the issues involved, with two believing the cartoon […]

Video: Minneapolis Muslims prefer Sharia, want blasphemy laws in US

May 29, 2015 4:40 am By Robert Spencer

Note the unanimous opposition to the freedom of speech and support for criminalizing criticism of Islam — and even for murdering those who insult Muhammad (note the casual references to how my colleague Pamela Geller, not mentioned by name but the reference is unmistakable, should be killed). All freely and openly expressed on a sunny […]

Islamic State has 30,000 foreign jihadis from over 100 countries

May 29, 2015 4:06 am By Robert Spencer

30,000: that’s an awful lot of Muslims who fell for this Nothing-To-Do-With-Islam form of Islam. How to explain so many misunderstanders? After all, none of them existed in a vacuum before they joined the Islamic State. They learned their Islam somewhere. Are we to believe that the slickness of the Islamic State’s video presentations alone […]

Graphic: The carnage committed in the name of Allah

May 29, 2015 3:53 am By Raymond Ibrahim

The picture below is one of many appearing on Arabic social media concerning the Islamic State’s barbarism and sadism, where those deemed “infidels” are treated as pieces of meat to be carved up for “fun.” The Arabic writing behind the masked savage reads, “One umma, one state.” Similarly, in a new report based on eyewitness […]

Ethiopia: Muslims forcibly building mosque on Christian land despite court ruling

May 29, 2015 3:43 am By Raymond Ibrahim

A Muslim mob in Deder, Ethiopia, attacked a Christian man and forced him out of his home on pain of death in an effort to appropriate his land and build a mosque on it—despite recent court rulings confirming the Christian man’s property rights. “Their first plan was to kill my husband,” said Fikere Mengistu’s wife.

Raymond Ibrahim: Islamic Jizya: Fact and Fiction

May 29, 2015 3:39 am By Raymond Ibrahim

The Return of Jizya Muslim demands for non-Muslim “infidels” to pay jizya on pain of death are growing, even as the West fluctuates between having no clue what jizya is and thinking that jizya is an example of “tolerance” in Islam. In the video where the Islamic State slaughters some 30 Christian Ethiopians in Libya […]

Australia: 12 Melbourne Muslimas flee suburbs to join Islamic State

May 28, 2015 7:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Still, officials show no realistic curiosity about the source of this appeal. They determinedly ignore that source, for it would lead them into considerations about Islam that would be uncomfortable for their politically correct fantasies. “Police reveal a dozen Melbourne girls fled our safe suburbs to join Islamic State,” by David Hurley, Herald Sun, May […]

U.S. saw Islamic State coming, didn’t order airstrikes, let it take Ramadi

May 28, 2015 7:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Did they want the Iraqis to win a great victory over the Islamic State all by themselves? Or did they want the Islamic State to take Ramadi? We need answers, but almost certainly aren’t going to get them from a press that covers for Obama at every turn. “U.S. Saw Islamic State Coming, Let It […]

Miami: Muslim pleads guilty to aiding jihad terror groups

Islamic jihadists murder 10 with car bombs at Baghdad hotels

May 28, 2015 7:11 pm By Robert Spencer

Possibly part of the effort to soften up Baghdad for the Islamic State’s invasion. “Iraqi officials say 2 car bombs kill 10 people in Baghdad,” by Sameer N. Yacoub, The Associated Press, May 28, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth): BAGHDAD – Authorities in Iraq say two separate car bombs inside parking lot of two hotels have […]

Islamic State destroys famous lion god statue in Palmyra

Still pursuing al-Lat after all these years. “The statue was dedicated to the pre-Islamic Arabian goddess Al-Lat, who was one of the three chief goddesses of Mecca along with Manat and al-Uzza.” The Qur’an says: “So have you considered al-Lat and al-Uzza? And Manat, the third, the other one? Is the male for you and […]

Austria: 14-year-old Muslim jailed on jihad terror charges

What was he taught at home? What was he taught in his local mosque? Is anyone investigating, or would that be “Islamophobic”? “Austrian boy sentenced to jail on terrorism charges,” Reuters, May 26, 2015: A 14-year-old boy from Austria who downloaded bomb-making plans onto his Playstation games console was sentenced to a two-year jail term […]

Assassin’s veto: Washington Transit Authority shuts down free speech, suspends all issue-related ads

May 28, 2015 5:29 pm By Robert Spencer

We had submitted our winning Muhammad cartoon to run on Washington, DC buses. This was obviously not to endanger people, but to determine whether American authorities would have the will to defend free speech rights, or would surrender in the face of threats of violence. The decision has been made. Here is an important message […]

US-trained Tajikistan special forces chief joins Islamic State, vows jihad inside US

May 28, 2015 9:45 am By Robert Spencer

When Gulmurod Khalimov was training in the U.S., all those who were training him assumed that he was a “moderate” who would be a reliable ally against the “extremists.” To have assumed anything else would have been “Islamophobic.” And now he is vowing to come to the U.S. again to murder Americans for Allah.

Moderate Dubai court jails man for insulting Islam on Facebook

May 28, 2015 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

They must be moderates, for if they were “extremists,” they would have sentenced him to beheading. In any case, this same “moderation” is coming to the U.S., as authorities of all sorts counsel submission to those who proclaim that they will kill us for what they perceive as insults to Islam. Those authorities mask their […]
