Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Leftists Want Their Enemies Dead

May 31, 2017 5:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Barbarism is so hot right now. My latest in PJ Media: Should neo-Nazis be allowed to use gym facilities? It’s an odd question, but it has larger implications for the future of conservatives in the public square, and for America’s prospects of staving off a new civil war. The question about neo-Nazis and the gym […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Olivier Roy, “One of France’s Top Experts On Islamic Terrorism” (Part II)

May 31, 2017 5:01 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

In his recent book “Jihad and Death: The Global Appeal of Islamic State,” Roy argues that about 70 percent of these young people have scant knowledge of Islam, and suggests they are “radical” before even choosing Islam. He dubs them “born again Muslims” who lead libertine lives before their sudden conversion to violent fundamentalism. — […]

Ramadan in Afghanistan: 80 dead, 350 wounded in bombing, Afghans suspect Pakistani government involvement

May 31, 2017 12:34 pm By Robert Spencer

“The driver of the tanker reportedly held a permit card of an embassy, which is how he managed to enter the diplomatic area….Amrullah Saleh, the state minister for security reforms, hinted at Pakistani involvement. ‘An attack like this wouldn’t have been possible without the support and involvement of a Pakistani State agency. And the ISI […]

NYC: Muslim college student lied to cops, claimed racists abducted him in robbery

May 31, 2017 11:27 am By Robert Spencer

Hate crime is a booming business today: both Leftists and their Muslim allies are making as much of use of hate crimes as they possibly can in order to discredit foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression as racist, redneck, violent yahoos who deserve no place in the public square. There’s just one problem: actual […]

Brooklyn public school won’t serve food at prom until 9PM because of Ramadan

May 31, 2017 10:40 am By Robert Spencer

What special accommodation has Brooklyn Tech made for Jewish religious observance? Christian religious observance? That’s right, Brooklyn Tech hasn’t made any such accommodation. Notice also how in this accommodation to Muslim students, all non-Muslim students at the prom have to be inconvenienced and made to comply with Islamic religious laws. Imagine the outcry if Brooklyn […]

Pakistan: Village court orders rape victim to be killed or sold as slave because of adultery charges

May 31, 2017 10:13 am By Robert Spencer

The whole idea in Islam of women covering their hair and, among some Muslims, their faces as well, is that women are the sources of male temptation. Men can’t be expected to control themselves, so it is the woman’s responsibility to cover herself so as to make sure that no temptation occurs. If a man […]

Florida museum celebrates the jihad conquest of the Hagia Sophia

May 31, 2017 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

“In addition to their renowned patronage of architecture, which yielded the conversion of the Church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul into a congregational mosque…” Obscene. Here is that “renowned patronage of architecture” in action: The church was still thronged. The Holy Liturgy was ended, and the service of matins was being sung. At the sound […]

Contrary to widespread reports, Manchester jihad mass murderer’s mosque did not report him to police

May 31, 2017 9:14 am By Robert Spencer

The Telegraph had this on May 25: “Mr Ramadan said he understood that Abedi had been placed on a ‘watch list’ because the mosque reported him to the authorities for his extremist views. A well-placed source at Didsbury Mosque confirmed it had contacted the Home Office’s Prevent anti-radicalisation programme as a result.” But it was […]

The real cause of Islamic terrorism: “We are motivated by our religion, by our Qur’an and Sunnah”

May 31, 2017 9:02 am By Nicolai Sennels

Every time a new jihad attack strikes innocents in the West, media and politicians get busy blaming “bad integration,” “poverty,” “marginalization,” “racism,” etc. For some reason, it never occurs to them to ask if Islamic terrorism has anything to do with Islam and the increasing number of followers of this particular religion in our countries.

Philippines: Islamic State jihadis shooting people dead for failing to quote the Qur’an

May 31, 2017 8:50 am By Robert Spencer

One might almost get the idea that this had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have learned imams such as H. R. McMaster and Theresa May to explain to us otherwise. “ISIS teenage fighters are ‘shooting people dead for failing to quote the Koran’ in besieged Philippines city as Duterte’s military warns jihadis […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: Olivier Roy, “One of France’s Top Experts On Islamic Terrorism” (Part I)

May 30, 2017 8:49 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald

Olivier Roy, who refuses to believe that the acts of Muslim terrorists might actually be explained by reference to Islam, its texts and teachings, was quick off the mark in explaining the Manchester bombing: Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber who killed 22 people at a Manchester pop concert this week, started life advantageously enough: to […]

Taliban increasingly killing Islamic scholars to silence criticism

May 30, 2017 8:25 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“The reason the Taliban resort to such acts is that they want to make sure their legitimacy is not questioned by the sermons of these ulema.” True. “The reason these ulema are getting targeted is because they tell the truth…” False.  “– and the truth is that the ongoing fighting is just for power.” True.

Left discovers jihad, blames Trump for emboldening “jihadist” Saudi Arabia

May 30, 2017 8:05 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

This war on jihad terror gets stranger by the day. Many leftist purveyors of “Islamophobia” propaganda are resistant to the very word “jihad” and the reality that normative Islam is jihadist at the core and is very much driven by Islamic texts. Yet now CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, of all people, has written about “jihadist terrorism” […]

ACLU opposes Maine bill criminalizing female genital mutilation

May 30, 2017 3:49 pm By Robert Spencer

“Circumcision is obligatory (for every male and female) (by cutting off the piece of skin on the glans of the penis of the male, but circumcision of the female is by cutting out the bazr ‘clitoris’ [this is called khufaadh ‘female circumcision’]).” — ‘Umdat al-Salik e4.3, translated by Mark Durie, The Third Choice, p. 64 […]

Robert Spencer at Breitbart: Theresa May’s Tories Targeted Critics of Islam Instead of Terrorists

May 30, 2017 12:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Theresa May is a criminal traitor. As the Englishman puts it in the video here: “Our own protectors are turning against us. Because the people that are bloody tellin’ them the rules ‘ave got it all wrong, THERESA MAY.” He pronounces the Prime Minister’s name with all the contempt she so richly deserves. My latest […]

Portland mayor asks feds to bar free-speech and anti-sharia rallies after stabbings

May 30, 2017 10:33 am By Robert Spencer

“The mayor of Portland, Ore., is calling on federal authorities to cancel a pair of upcoming rallies organized by conservative groups, saying the city was still ‘in shock’ after two men were fatally stabbed on a commuter train Friday while fending off a man shouting anti-Muslim slurs.” So says the Washington Post, following the establishment […]

Ramadan in Baghdad: Islamic State detonates bomb outside ice cream parlor, murdering 31

May 30, 2017 10:04 am By Robert Spencer

A Taliban spokesman recently explained: “Our fight is Jihad and an obligatory worship. And every obligatory act of worship has 70 times more reward in Ramadan.” The Islamic State no doubt believes that as well. “BAGHDAD BLAST: ISIS militants detonate bomb outside popular ice cream shop; 31 dead,” Fox News, May 30, 2017: The death […]

Germany: 17-year-old Muslim migrant arrested for jihad-martyrdom suicide attack plot

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111) But remember: if you oppose the Muslim migrant influx into Germany, you’re a Nazi, to be shunned by all decent folk. “Syrian […]

Day after Manchester jihad massacre, Twitter and Facebook roll out hijabi emoji

May 30, 2017 9:40 am By Robert Spencer

There is an ongoing effort in the establishment media to present Islam and Sharia observance as completely ordinary, benign things, with no downside at all. This effort usually becomes more intense after a jihad massacre, with its attendant myth-making about racist, redneck yahoos supposedly victimizing hijab-wearing women: efforts such as this one are presented as […]
