Islamic State beheads teenager for apostasy

Jan 31, 2016 8:38 pm By Robert Spencer

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned […]

Iran awards medal given to war heroes for capture of U.S. sailors

Jan 31, 2016 8:15 pm By Robert Spencer

A medal given to war heroes? They don’t seem to realize that a lasting peace has been achieved. How very strange! Surely Barack Obama and John Kerry couldn’t be misleading us, could they? “Iran gives medals for capture of U.S. sailors,” Reuters, January 31, 2016: Iran’s supreme leader has awarded medals to navy commanders for […]

Jan 31, 2016 7:42 pm By Robert Spencer

Solution: Bring tens of thousands more migrants to Britain. “Somali Migrant to UK Gets Nine Years for Joining Islamic Terror Group Al-Shabaab,” by Michelle Moons, Breitbart, January 31, 2016: A U.S. judge sentenced 26-year-old Madhi Hashi — a one time Somali migrant to the United Kingdom — to nine years on Friday for joining Islamic terrorist […]

‘Tsunami of money’ from Saudi Arabia funding 24,000 madrassas in Pakistan

Jan 31, 2016 5:17 pm By Robert Spencer

These madrassas don’t teach readin’, ‘ritin’, and ‘rithmatic. They teach Qur’an, the hatred of Infidels, and the duty Muslims have to wage war against and subjugate them. “‘Tsunami of money’ from Saudi Arabia funding 24,000 madrassas in Pakistan,” PTI, January 30, 2016 (thanks to Vikrant): Washington: About 24,000 ‘madrassas’ in Pakistan are funded by Saudi […]

Islamic State in West Africa murders over 100 in raid on Nigerian village

Jan 31, 2016 5:08 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: The death toll is now over 100. ———- Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa last year. Attacks like these are a foreshadowing of what is coming to Europe. “Boko Haram kills 65 in Borno village attack,” by Kayode Idowu, Punch, January […]

Europol warns: Islamic State runs training camps in the middle of Europe

Jan 31, 2016 4:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet heedless of or indifferent to the consequences, the Europeans continue to bring hundreds of thousands of Muslims into the continent, even though there is no way to screen out Islamic jihadis from among them. “Europol warns: “Islamic State” runs training camps in the middle of Europe,” RT, January 31, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller): […]

Afghan Islamic scholars’ fatwa: Peace talks “against Islamic injunctions”

Jan 31, 2016 12:30 pm By Robert Spencer

“Islam instructs its followers that ‘Jihad’ is compulsory unless the invaders are expelled from an Islamic country.” One might almost get the idea that jihad terror had something to do with Islam, did we not have so many learned mullahs such as John Kerry and David Cameron assuring us otherwise. “Afghan religious scholars issue fatwa […]

Syria: Sunnis murder 45 people near Shia shrine south of Damascus

Jan 31, 2016 7:44 am By Robert Spencer

The Sunni/Shi’ite jihad has killed far more people than the trumped-up propaganda term “Islamophobia.” Yet no one seems particularly concerned about it as a human rights issue. Perhaps too much concern about it would in itself be “Islamophobic.” “Syria conflict: Deadly blasts near Sayyida Zeinab shrine,” BBC, January 31, 2016: At least 45 people have […]

Palestinian Authority security officer opens fire on Israelis, wounding three

Jan 31, 2016 6:39 am By Robert Spencer

Remember: the Palestinian Authority is the “peace partner” that Obama keeps pressing the Israelis to shower with concessions. “Three wounded in West Bank shooting attack, terrorist shot dead,” by Yaakov Lappin, Jerusalem Post, January 31, 2016: A Palestinian gunman opened fire on Israelis at the Focus checkpoint near Bet El in the West Bank on […]

The Same God Question (Part 2)

Jan 31, 2016 6:30 am By Ralph Sidway

Allah’s Theological Jihad against Christianity – A Case of Two Extremes Continued from Part 1, An Epistemological Malady The first problem for a Christian who affirms that Muslims worship the same God, is that such a Christian has to contend with the Koran, which Muslims believe to be the unalterable, eternal words of God, revealed […]

Islamic State execution room contained stacks of Qur’ans

Jan 30, 2016 9:03 pm By Robert Spencer

If our moral superiors — John Kerry, David Cameron, Pope Francis, all the rest — weren’t around to remind us that it ain’t so, we might get the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with…Islam. “Life and Death Inside An ISIS Prison,” by Mike Giglio and Munzer al-Awad, BuzzFeed, January 28, […]

Islamic State: “Worse than 9/11” coming, revenge for end of Muslim rule in Spain

Jan 30, 2016 8:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold. In this case, extremely cold. The Qur’an says, “Drive them out from where they drove you out” (2:191), thereby giving rise to the doctrine that any land that once was ruled by Muslims belongs by right to Islam forever. The ever-witless Daily Mail is preoccupied with […]

EU: New Year’s Eve sex attacks had nothing to do with migrant crisis

Jan 30, 2016 7:59 pm By Robert Spencer

To say that the sex assaults had nothing to do with the migrants is as absurd as saying that Islamic jihad attacks have nothing to do with Islam — which, of course, the EU also affirms. The victims all say that their attackers were of North African or Arab appearance. If the mass sex assaults […]

Super Bowl 50 jihad threat: F-16 fighter jets, FBI, K-9 units, helicopters ready

Jan 30, 2016 7:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis are determined to commit murder on an unprecedented scale inside the United States. The prevailing denial and willful ignorance about the ideological roots of this determination only make their will to destroy that much more difficult to counter. “Super Bowl 50 Terrorism Threat? F-16 Fighter Jets, FBI, K-9 Units, Helicopters Ready For Football […]

Surprised? “The US Mosque Obama Has Chosen For His First Presidential Visit Has Deep Extremist Ties,” by Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, January 30, 2016 (thanks to Plamen): The Baltimore mosque President Obama has chosen as the first U.S.-based mosque to visit during his presidency has deep ties to extremist elements, including to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Sweden to deport 80,000 Muslim migrants, Finland 20,000

Jan 30, 2016 6:26 pm By Robert Spencer

The “Welcome Refugees” crowd is still in power all over Europe, and will be for the foreseeable future, but reality is beginning to break through, due to the out-of-control savagery of Muslim migrants all over Europe on New Year’s Eve, and so very many other incidents. They thought they could come into Europe and apply […]

“President Obama will make the first visit during his presidency to a U.S. mosque, the White House announced Saturday, as the administration tries to promote religious tolerance at a time when rhetoric linking Islam with terrorism is growing.” Yes, here’s some rhetoric linking Islam with terrorism: the latest Islamic State video is called “Kill them […]

Huffington Post: Christians should accept Muhammad as a prophet

Jan 30, 2016 5:06 pm By Robert Spencer

The Leftist establishment continues to shill for Islam. Can you imagine the Huffington Post publishing a piece called “Why a Muslim Can View Jesus As the Son of God”? Of course not. While unstintingly hostile to Christianity, for some unknown reason (Saudi princes lining their pockets?) the Left in the West is intent on making […]

UK: Three Muslims gang-raped non-Muslim teen girl in bathroom of hotel where they were celebrating Eid

Jan 30, 2016 10:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Christian girls are only meant for one thing: the pleasure of Muslim men.” “German girls are just there for sex.” “Certainly will the believers have succeeded: They who are during their prayer humbly submissive and they who turn away from ill speech, and they who are observant of zakah and they who guard their private […]
