Pakistan: Muslim father beheads his 18-year-old daughter and her boyfriend in honor killing
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a […]
Lebanon: Muslim arrested for two jihad mass poisoning plots, one of Lebanese army water supply
We know that jihadis have long wanted to poison the water supply. As far back as 2002, the feds arrested two jihadis who were carrying plans about how to poison water supplies.

Iran: Billboard commemorating Iranian soldiers features Israeli soldiers by mistake
We don’t usually post feuilleton, but this story was too good to pass up. The Islamic Republic of Iran, while repeatedly uttering genocidal threats against the State of Israel, ends up featuring Israeli soldiers and praising their sacrifice on a billboard in Shiraz. No one could just laugh this off: those responsible have, of course, […]
“It’s disgraceful, it’s disgusting”: The word “bacon” is painted on the wall of a UK mosque
Yes, the person who painted the word “bacon” on the wall of the Heaton Mosque and Islamic Centre is indeed a lout, unless he or she is a Muslim trying to gain coveted victimhood status, as we have seen so many times before. The perpetrator, if found, should be prosecuted for vandalism and made to […]

1,566 pounds of heroin found in Iranian trucks entering EU from Turkey
Jihadists have used drugs to fund their efforts for years.

Islam: From the Delusional to the Dangerous
It has been widely asserted by many psychologists that human beings act upon their beliefs. Well, if this is true, we can deduce that beliefs direct people in life, and while some beliefs are harmless, some are the motivating force for good, others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous. In my opinion, every version […]

At the UN, OIC foreign ministers adopt statement demanding respect for Islam
This is a call for the non-Muslim world to adopt Sharia blasphemy laws, and refrain from criticism Islam or Muhammad. The West is either going to do that or stand up and defend the freedom of speech as the foundation of any free society. But which it is going to choose at this point is […]
Austria: Muslim migrant brutally attacks three elderly women, seriously injuring them
Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! This is the vibrant diversity that results when one imports large numbers of people from a culture that sanctifies violence into the senescent West. “Three women at the bus stop attacked and injured,” translated from “Drei Frauen an Haltestelle attackiert und verletzt,” Krone, September 29, 2018 (thanks to Searchlight […]
Robert Spencer video: Muslim leader vows Islamic conquest of US, UK, Russia, France, Italy
In this new video, I discuss a recent speech of Hizb ut-Tahrir’s Said Khecharem, vowing Islamic conquest, and explains why Western authorities should take it seriously, even if that conquest is unlikely in the short term.
Germany: Man who stabbed three people is Muslim migrant from Afghanistan, incident not treated as terror-related
The knifeman who stabbed three people yesterday and was only identified as a “Southerner” turns out to be a Muslim migrant from Afghanistan. He apparently chose his victims randomly, but the cops say his motives are “unknown,” and they are not treating the incident as terror-related. No amount of covering up is enough, evidently, for […]

Is Islam Misunderstood?
According to a Pew Research Center study published in 2009, public perceptions depend heavily on a few key factors. Pew’s Gregory Smith explained: “One of the most powerful factors shaping views of Islam is education,” he said. “Those Americans who have more education tend to be more favorable toward Muslim Americans and Islam than Americans […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Jeremy Corbyn and Laura Alvarez, Salon Bolsheviks
Here’s a biographical bit about Jeremy Corbyn: Jeremy Corbyn was born in Chippenham, England, in May 1949. He was raised in considerable comfort at Yew Tree Manor, on the Duke of Sutherland’s estate, a “splendid house” which he likes to refer deprecatingly as “an old farm,” part of his downplaying of his upper middle-class background.

Abbas praises jihad terrorism against Israel at UN General Assembly
Only two months ago, Abbas vowed to continue to paying the salaries to jihad terrorists and their families, even if “we have only a penny left.” As a proud jihadi, he remains true to the PA Charter’s vow to obliterate Israel, so his praise of jihadis should come as no surprise. “In a speech to […]
