Islamic State beheads two women for “sorcery”

Jun 30, 2015 1:42 pm By Robert Spencer

This is the first time they have beheaded women. But the Qur’an says to “strike the necks” of unbelievers (47:4); it doesn’t specify that they must be male. “Daesh beheads 2 women in Syria,” AFP, June 30, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Daesh has beheaded two women in Syria on accusations of ‘sorcery,’ […]

France: Muslim who placed severed head between Islamic flags denies jihad motive

Jun 30, 2015 1:25 pm By Robert Spencer

“The severed head of his boss was found hanging on the fence of a site belonging to U.S-based gas and chemicals company Air Products, next to flags bearing professions of the Muslim faith. Examination of one of Salhi’s phones revealed he had taken a picture of himself with the severed head before his arrest and […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: Is free speech about Islam still possible in the US?

Jun 30, 2015 12:41 pm By Robert Spencer

At PJ Media today I provide a case study of how the freedom of speech is under threat today: Do we really still have freedom of speech in this country? An absurd question. Right? We still have the First Amendment, we still have the freedom to criticize any belief system and any individual. Don’t we? […]

UAE: Muslima sentenced to death for jihad murder of American teacher

Jun 30, 2015 12:28 pm By Robert Spencer

She “embraced takfiri and jihadist ideology and then engaged in terrorist acts in support of the terrorist organisations Al-Qaeda and Daesh.” Where could she have turned in the UAE to find instruction as to why she should reject the ideology of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State? Where is the large-scale Muslim movement dedicated to refuting […]

Indonesia: Muslim cleric gets 4 years for funding jihad terror training camp

Jun 30, 2015 11:37 am By Robert Spencer

How did he miss all of the Qur’an’s peaceful teachings — teachings that are so blazingly obvious to John Kerry, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Tony Abbott and the rest? How could a Muslim cleric, someone who has dedicated his life to understanding and imparting Islam properly, misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? Will Cameron or Johnson or […]

Tunisia: Beach jihad murderer trained in Libya with museum jihad murderer

Jun 30, 2015 11:24 am By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the idea that there was a global jihad with a unified ideology and a single goal. But to think such a thing could be “Islamophobic,” so be careful. “Tunisia: Beach gunman trained in Libya with museum attacker,” by Bouazza ben Bouazza, Associated Press, June 30, 2015: TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — One […]

Egypt: Islamic jihadists murder top public prosecutor with car bomb

Jun 30, 2015 11:15 am By Robert Spencer

“The bombing also showed the risk of militant Islam threatening the Egyptian state leadership, as it did in the 1980s and 1990s.” And the Obama Administration holds secret talks with the Muslim Brotherhood. “Car bomb attack kills Egypt’s top public prosecutor,” by Ahmed Hassan and Omar Fahmy, Reuters, June 29, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): […]

Islamic State storms Syrian town on Turkish border

Jun 30, 2015 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

Time for the Pentagon to issue another explanation of how the Islamic State is losing. “Islamic State ‘storms Syrian town on Turkish border,’” ITV News, June 30, 2015: Islamic State fighters stormed the Syrian town of Tel Abyad on the Turkish border and captured a neighbourhood from Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, the Syrian Observatory for […]

US having trouble finding moderate Syrians willing to fight the Islamic State

Jun 30, 2015 10:39 am By Robert Spencer

“The main problem thus far has been finding enough Syrian recruits untainted by extremist affiliations or disqualified by physical or other flaws.” And so currently there are under 100 men receiving this training. No one, however, is willing to examine the larger implications of this. The Pentagon is pouring money into this program anyway. “Sputtering […]

New Jersey: Another Muslim arrested for trying to aid the Islamic State

Jun 30, 2015 5:37 am By Robert Spencer

Yet another misunderstander of Islam somehow gets the crazy idea that the completely un-Islamic entity known as the Islamic State was something that merited his support. No doubt John Kerry and David Cameron and Boris Johnson are on their way to West New York right now, so as to explain to Alaa Saadeh that his […]

Netanyahu to Gaza flotilla: Surely you got lost, meant to help butchered Syrians

Jun 29, 2015 6:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Israeli aid to Gaza amounts to 500,000 times more than the flotilla aid. The supporters of “Palestine” are outrageous moral hypocrites. “Netanyahu to Gaza flotilla: Surely you got lost and meant to help the Syrians being butchered,” by Herb Keinon, Jerusalem Post, June 28, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Israeli officials reiterated on Sunday that […]

Tunisia: Islamic State jihadi knelt to pray to Allah after massacring tourists

Jun 29, 2015 5:43 pm By Robert Spencer

Nothing to be concerned about. David Cameron and Boris Johnson assure us this has nothing to do with Islam. And they couldn’t possibly be wrong, and leading their country to ruin through their determined willful ignorance of the enemy’s identity, motives and goals, could they? “Filmed from a hotel balcony, the chilling moment ISIS gunman […]

Author: State Department guilty of ignoring Muslim persecution of Christians

Jun 29, 2015 5:23 pm By Ralph Sidway

John L. Allen, author of the 2013 bestseller The Global War on Christians and Associate Editor of Crux Catholic journal, finds that in general, “religion is undervalued” throughout the State Department 2014 “Country Reports on Human Rights Practices,” which derives from the administration’s “demotion of religious liberty to a second-class right,” listed only as a sub-heading.

UK’s Cameron: “I wish the BBC would stop calling it ‘Islamic State’ because it is not an Islamic state”

Jun 29, 2015 4:14 pm By Robert Spencer

As if the BBC were telling anything remotely close to the truth in its reporting about the jihad threat. Like the rest of the mainstream media, it retails  politically correct fictions that prevent us from understanding what the jihadis themselves tell us about who they are, what they intend to do, and why they are […]

London mayor: “Islamic State? This death cult is not a state and it’s certainly not Islamic”

Jun 29, 2015 3:40 pm By Robert Spencer

“Rehman’s point is that if you call it Islamic State you are playing their game; you are dignifying their criminal and barbaric behaviour; you are giving them a propaganda boost that they don’t deserve, especially in the eyes of some impressionable young Muslims. He wants us all to drop the terms, in favour of more […]

Ibn Warraq has a website at last, and it is a fine one indeed. Be sure to visit it, bookmark it, and visit again, making it a regular habit to do so. Ibn Warraq is one of the few honest thinkers in the world today. His 1995 book Why I Am Not A Muslim was […]

Islamic State releases video of Kuwait jihadi, consisting largely of Qur’an verses

Jun 29, 2015 11:21 am By Robert Spencer

As the Islamic State releases a video filled with Qur’an verses, London Mayor Boris Johnson writes in the the Telegraph: “Islamic State? This death cult is not a state and it’s certainly not Islamic: We must settle on a name for our enemies that doesn’t smear all Muslims but does reflect reality.” Obviously Boris Johnson […]

Strategies of Denial Revisited (Part III)

Jun 29, 2015 8:32 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

In opinion poll after poll, Muslims in Western Europe show an astonishing willingness to admit to their support for suicide bombing and for other forms of terrorism, not even in distant lands, but within the very countries they live in, and of course, given the likelihood that many will hide their real feelings, the true […]

Where are the Protests to Ban Islam’s Black Flag?

Even Southerners are calling for the retiring of the Confederate Flag. Where are the Moderate Muslim protests to ban the Black Flag of Islam?  Over at The American Conservative, Rod Dreher has a really stirring piece in which he grapples with the complexity and pain of the guerre du jour, the movement to finally banish […]
