This is the real “hate speech” that the EU, Twitter and Facebook should be targeting: “The documentary showed hidden camera footage of imams in Danish mosques advocating the corporal punishment of children, stoning and whipping unfaithful spouses and requiring women to have sex with violent spouses.” Instead, however, it is much more likely that they […]

Not Blessed are Pax Christi’s Radical “Peacemakers”
Author’s note: Yesterday Jihad Watch posted an AP article about how Pope Francis is considering dropping the Catholic Church’s Just War doctrine. The article’s author, Maria J. Stephan, attended the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy with me, where she was a noted advocate of nonviolence. She sent an email to the school community in […]
Robert Spencer, FP: Brandeis Denies Muslim Prof. Tenure – He Blames ‘Islamophobia’
What else could it possibly be? Incompetence? My latest in FrontPage: May 31, 2016: An article in The Islamic Monthly explains at wrist-slitting length how Muslim professor Joseph Lumbard was denied tenure at Brandeis University because of “Islamophobia” among administrators there. I can’t imagine that anyone beyond Lumbard’s mom would care to read in such […]
Twitter, Facebook team up with EU to stamp out “hate speech”
The problem with both Jourova’s and White’s statements below, and with this whole initiative, is that they assume that “hate speech” is an entity that can be identified objectively, when actually it is a subjective judgment based on one’s own political preconceptions. And given the years-long insistence from Leftists and Islamic supremacists that any honest […]
Pope Francis might jettison idea of a ‘just war’
That would remove one of the West’s key philosophical foundations and leave Catholics no alternative but to surrender to the advancing jihad. But with the monuments of Catholic Europe in ruins and the Church subjugated and enslaved, as the jihadi’s blade slices through his neck Pope Francis can congratulate himself that he was never, ever […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: One More Time: “What Race Is…”
The other day, in Melbourne, an anti-Islam rally was announced by the United Patriotic Front, and, in immediate response, a counter-rally was quickly organized, to be held at the same time, and same place, by a group of assorted leftists eager to confront the anti-Islam group. It was billed as the “No To Racism” rally. […]
Father of Pakistan nuke program: Pakistan could target Delhi in five minutes
A top Iranian commander recently made a similar threat regarding Israel. “Nuclear-armed Pakistan can ‘target’ Delhi in 5 minutes: Abdul Qadeer Khan,” PTI, May 29, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): ISLAMABAD: Nuclear-armed Pakistan has the ability to “target” the Indian capital Delhi in five minutes, the father of Pakistan’s nuclear programme Dr Abdul […]
Uganda: Muslim kills Christian wife for leaving Islam
“They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an […]
NY Muslim leader: “True Islam recognizes the equality of men and women”
Dr. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal is President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Syracuse chapter. This short piece is part of the Ahmadiyyas’ cynical and deceptive “True Islam” campaign, which attempts to fool Americans into thinking that the Islam that we see practiced around the world in Sharia states that scrupulously follow Islamic laws has nothing to […]
Video: Robert Spencer on how to defeat the jihad
At the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s West Coast Retreat in Rancho Palos Verdes, California on April 9, 2016, I was on a panel with Bruce Thornton and Richard Miniter on “How to Defeat the Jihad.” Here is a transcript of my remarks; for those of Thornton and Miniter, go here. Robert Spencer: I have to […]
Hamas-linked CAIR says US troops should not be honored on Memorial Day
No surprise. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well […]
Muslim posts on social media that Robert Spencer must be “lynched from his scrotum,” accounts not suspended
UPDATE: I just got this from Twitter: “Hello, Thank you for letting us know about your issue. We’ve investigated the account and reported Tweets for violent threats and abusive behavior, and have found that it’s currently not violating the Twitter Rules (https://twitter.com/rules).” This raises the question of what one would have to do in order […]
Iran accuses Saudi Arabia of ‘blocking the path to Allah’ and bans pilgrims from going to Mecca
“Saudi Arabia is…blocking the path leading to Allah.” “Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter rivals, seeing themselves as the leaders of Shia and Sunni Islam respectively.” Yet both Iran and Saudi Arabia practice a religion that our highest officials are on record multiple times insisting is un-Islamic and has nothing to do with Islam. This […]
Video: Robert Spencer on The Meaning of the Word “Jihad”
In this eighth segment of my Basics of Islam series, I discuss what the concept of jihad really means in Islamic theology.
Malaysian government backs bill to impose Sharia in the country
“It applies only to certain offences and this comes under the jurisdiction of the Syariah court and is only applicable to the Muslims. It has nothing to do with non-Muslims.” If there is any truth to this at all, the laws regarding the subjugation of non-Muslims as dhimmis will not be imposed, but this will […]
Nigeria: Sultan of Sokoto says Islam is a religion of peace
The idea that Islam is a religion of peace has to be constantly repeated, because it is contradicted daily by the behavior of Islamic jihadists, and their justification of their murders by pointing to the Qur’an and Sunnah. The Sultan of Sokoto did not explain how it happened that a group that called itself the […]
Canada: Pro-Sharia, pro-Caliphate organization holds conference in Mississauga
“Democracy is infidelity: its use, application and promotion are prohibited.” Canadian authorities appear heedless of the what might happen if such ideas continue to be propagated in the country without any countervailing effort made to encourage Muslims (and non-Muslims) to value and appreciate the benefits of a free society. Instead, they’re working to stamp out […]
Islamic State seems to be selling sex slaves online
The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and […]
Islamic State murders 12 Real Madrid fans as they watched match
They slaughtered 16 Real Madrid fans in another jihad attack several weeks ago. “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in […]
Erdogan: Infidels “good for nothing. They try to destroy our Islamic values.”
“And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, ‘Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the guidance.’ If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.” — Qur’an 2:120
