Port of Calais on lockdown after “explosive device” discovered in car
“The driver arrived at the ferry terminal without a ticket or identity papers and demanded to speak to French President Emmanuel Macron as well as King Mohammed VI of Morocco.” The demand to speak to the Moroccan King makes it likely that the “explosive device” was intended for jihad, not “right-wing extremism,” but this whole […]
NYC: Muslima falsely claims landlord evicted her and stole from her because of “Islamophobia”
Shanahan’s lawyer said: “We presented voluminous evidence of the unreliability and lack of veracity of the complainant. This case should never have been brought. It’s my opinion the authorities, particularly the New York City Police Department, took the path of least resistance and they arrested the law-abiding, hard-working, tax-paying landlord because the tenant was playing […]
Jordanian Muslim arrested for smuggling six Yemeni Muslims across US/Mexico border
What could possibly go wrong? A few Yemenis sneaking over the border could only have benign intentions, right? Any supporter of border control is a racist. Right? “Jordanian National Arrested For Allegedly Smuggling Yemeni Citizens Across The US-Mexico Border,” by Neetu Chandak, Daily Caller, July 30, 2018: A Jordanian national who allegedly smuggled six Yemeni […]
Indonesia: Muslims dump raw sewage on heads of couple for violating Sharia
Imagine if a group of Christians, or any group other than Muslims, did this. The outcry would be immediate, immense, and international. There would be commissions and studies about how Christianity inspires people to be brutally and intransigently self-righteous, and warnings to people to leave Christianity for their own sake. But no one will take […]
Germany: Muslim migrant plotted to detonate explosives in crowd of non-Muslims
Danke, Merkel! “Islamic State Supporting Migrant on Trial for Alleged Bomb Plot,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 28, 2018: The trial of a 20-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, accused of plotting to detonate explosives in a crowd in Germany, started at a court in Hamburg this week. The 20-year-old migrant was brought before the Hamburg Higher Regional […]
The Royal Navy rescued him. He showed his gratitude by murdering 22 in jihad massacre in the UK.
Here in a nutshell is why hearts-and-minds initiatives will never succeed in winning over Muslim countries as reliable long-term allies. As I show in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, the jihad imperative to wage war against unbelievers is not canceled by the friendliness or helpfulness of those unbelievers. “Act […]
Video: UK MEP Janice Atkinson — Wearing a burqa is sticking a middle finger up to society
I interview UK MEP Janice Atkinson, who explains the symbolism involved in wearing a burqa in a Western country.
Spain’s Foreign Minister denies that his country is experiencing “mass migration,” says “we need new blood”
New blood, eh? Oh, there will be plenty of blood, much of it on the streets. “Spain denies ‘mass’ migration, says Europe needs ‘new blood,’” by Peter O’Brien, France 24, July 31, 2018: Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Borrell denied Monday that the country was experiencing “mass” immigration and said Europe needed “new blood” to compensate […]
Twitter hires “experts in Islam” and “right-wing populism” to banish “intolerant discourse”
This will be more Left-wing bias, and more censorship of views that dissent from the Left’s agenda, since it is certain that the “experts in Islam” that Twitter has hired are apologists who insist it is a religion of peace, not people who actually know and are willing to state what is in the Qur’an […]
Tajikistan: Islamic State claims murders of tourists that were initially reported as road accident
A “road accident”? What? Not “mental illness”? “IS claims deadly attack on tourists in Tajikistan,” by Akbar Borisov, AFP, July 30, 2018: Dushanbe (Tajikistan) (AFP) – The Islamic State jihadist group on Monday claimed an attack that killed four foreign cyclists in Tajikistan in what was originally reported as a hit-and-run road accident. The victims, […]
Video: David Wood and Robert Spencer discuss why it’s crucial for people today to know the history of jihad
On Saturday afternoon, the brilliant David Wood and I got together to discuss my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and had a wide-ranging and illuminating discussion. Have you preordered the book yet? It’s the first and only comprehensive history of the entire phenomenon of jihad, from Spain to India and […]
Muslims enraged at Cuomo for using word “jihad” in way that “perpetuates” “Islamophobia”
As I predicted in this article, Muslims are enraged at New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for using the word “jihad” to describe President Trump’s immigration policies. Sadaf Mehdi of the Muslim Democratic Club of New York fumed: “Governor Cuomo’s comparison of it to a ‘jihad’ only perpetuates the Islamophobic trope that acts of violence are […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Governor Cuomo Likens Trump’s Immigration Policies to ‘Jihad’
Will CAIR reprimand him for using the term’s violent definition? My latest in PJ Media: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has claimed that the Trump administration is “on a crusade against people who they do not consider original Americans.” That term was apparently fine, since even Catholics take for granted today that the Crusades were […]
Toronto: Man shoved into fountain for protesting Islam; police watch and make no arrests
A man was thrown into a fountain for protesting Islam at the site of the recent gun massacre by Faisal Hussain: Danforth Avenue in Toronto. As Global News reported, the protester was thrown into the fountain by an unidentified man who objected to a sign the victim was carrying. The Global News video of the […]
Denmark: Imam calls for “final solution” to Israel — new jihad invasion of Europe
Most Americans probably don’t know that there was a jihad invasion of Europe. This one of the reasons why I wrote my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS. If more people knew this history, there would be more clear thinking about a great deal of public policies today. Note also the […]
Egypt: Bishop found murdered in monastery
This murder could have been perpetrated by someone within the monastery, but it is more likely to be more of the Muslim persecution of the Coptic Christians that has been ongoing for fourteen centuries, and has stepped up in virulence since 2013, when the Muslim Brotherhood government was toppled and the Brotherhood blamed the nation’s […]
TSA is placing passengers who aren’t on terror database under close surveillance
The program delves into the minutiae of air travel, including “whether passengers fidget, use a computer, have a ‘jump’ in their Adam’s apple or a ‘cold penetrating stare,’ among other behaviors.” They’ll do this to Americans who haven’t committed any crime at all, but they wouldn’t dream of devoting any resources to trying to figure […]
UK: Muslim cop on trial for sexual assault of teen claims she repeatedly asked him to have sex with her
Aside from Hussain’s flimsy explanations, why does this keep happening? Sexual assault occurs in all cultures, but only in Islam does it have divine sanction. One survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam. The Qur’an teaches that […]
Israel: Muslim sets Jerusalem motel on fire
The Islamic State in September 2014 exhorted Muslims: “Disperse those behind them wherever you may find them. Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure. Hunt them wherever they may be. Turn their worldly life into fear and fire.” This […]
