Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Sharia police ban stylish haircuts, sagging trousers, playing of music at social events

Oct 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 1 Comment

I’m with them on the sagging trousers, but anyway, remember all the people who insisted that Sharia was completely compatible with Western secular values, and that anyone who thought otherwise was a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe”? “Like In Kano, Hisbah Bans ‘UnIslamic’ Hairstyles, Dressing In Kebbi State,” SaharaReporters, October 6, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of […]

Nigeria: Muslims kill two young Christian women, six-year-old boy, and 64-year-old man, kidnap other Christians

Oct 8, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 3 Comments

The world yawns. This doesn’t fit the establishment media narrative of Christians as white supremacists and Muslims as victims, and so it will be ignored. “Children Killed, Christian Leaders Kidnapped in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, October 2, 2020: JOS, Nigeria, October 1, 2020 (Morning Star News) – Two young Christian women and a 6-year-old boy […]

France: Macron’s plan to fight ‘Islamist separatism’ is more Arabic in schools, $11 million to Islamic foundation

Oct 8, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 3 Comments

The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Islamic sensibilities. And here we go again: Macron’s plan to fight ‘Islamist separatism’ amounts essentially to making France more Islamic, with more Arabic in schools and […]

Norway: Former member of neo-Nazi group converts to Islam, joins the Islamic State

Oct 8, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 7 Comments

It is not really a long way from the “Nordic Resistance Movement” to the Islamic State (ISIS). Oleg Neganov was clearly in search of a what he could consider to be a great cause, and gravitated toward groups that drew a sharp Us vs. Them distinction and were inclined toward violence. Meanwhile, are Norwegian authorities […]

‘Infidel’: At Last, a Film That Deals Realistically with Islamic Terrorism

Oct 7, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

My latest in PJ Media: It is a staple of the Muslim victimhood industry to complain that Hollywood frequently features Muslim terrorist villains, and seldom depicts Muslims as anything other than terrorists. Reality is just the opposite: can you think of even one major motion picture that featured Islamic terrorists as the villains? In a […]

France: Muslim migrant on trial for plotting jihad massacre at Sunday Mass in Paris church

Oct 7, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 15 Comments

Will the Islamophobia never end? Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger! Meanwhile, can we get Pope Francis to Paris to explain to Sidi Ahmed Ghlam that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence”? “Algerian goes on trial in Paris for failed ISIS […]

Turkey: Religious Affairs top dog says ‘the goal’ is for Hagia Sophia to become a center of knowledge about Islam

Oct 7, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 20 Comments

The conversion of Hagia Sophia to a mosque is for Erdogan and Ali Erbas a symbol of Islam’s triumph over secularism, just as its conversion to a museum in 1935 was a symbol of secularism’s triumph over Islam, and its original conversion to a mosque in 1453 was a symbol of Islam’s triumph over Christianity.

Pope’s new encyclical praises imam who supports wife-beating and death penalty for apostates

Oct 7, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

This is what interfaith dialogue leads to, at least for the Christian side: total capitulation, the relativization of the faith, and the holding of contradictory ideas. The fruit of the dialogue between Muslims and Catholics has not been the protection of Christians in Muslim countries, but a silence from the Catholic Church on this persecution. […]

Congo: Muslims murder at least 58 people, kidnap 17 in jihad attacks on predominantly Christian villages

Oct 7, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

Imagine the international outcry if the roles were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen. But no one will take any particular notice of this. “At least 58 people killed in jihadi attacks on Christian-majority region of DRC,” Barnabas Fund, September 15, 2020: At least 58 people were killed and 17 kidnapped when […]

Pakistan: Muslim professor murders Ahmadi professor after argument over religion

Oct 7, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

When you have a religion that mandates death for heresy and apostasy, this kind of thing is going to happen in the “fort of Islam.” “Muslim professor shoots dead fellow Pakistani academic after the two argued about their different religions,” by Clare McCarthy, Mailonline, October 5, 2020 (thanks to Inexion): A Pakistani Muslim professor shot […]

The Real Reason Why Leftists Can’t and Won’t Express Good Wishes For Trump’s Recovery

Oct 6, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 61 Comments

My latest in PJ Media: When the news broke that President Trump had contracted the coronavirus, many of his supporters immediately began to pray for his recovery, while many Democrats were thrilled. Some, including former Hillary Clinton staffer Zara Rahim, even expressed the hope that he would die. The sharply divergent reactions revealed yet again […]

Austria: Muslim migrant tells woman who burned Qur’an that he’ll ‘cut off her head at the command of Allah’

Oct 6, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 46 Comments

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4). Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! “Austria: On the orders of Allah, Afghan wanted to cut off a woman’s head,” translated from “Österreich: Auf Befehl Allahs wollte Afghane einer Frau den Kopf abtrennen,” JournalistenWatch, October 4, 2020 (thanks to Medforth): Austria – A 31-year-old Afghan […]

Iran: Influential ayatollah calls on police to make ‘surroundings unsafe’ for women with ‘loose hijab’

Oct 6, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 13 Comments

This is an open call for violence, but Tabatabei-Nejad is unlikely to face any criticism from his fellow ayatollahs for it. As far as they’re concerned, violence against women who don’t wear hijab is justified. After all, the Qur’an says to beat women “from whom you fear disobedience” (4:34) and that women should veil themselves […]

Norway: Prominent critic of Islam found dead with ‘visible damage to the body’

Oct 6, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer 12 Comments

SIAN leader Lars Thorsen “stressed that based on his knowledge of the deceased, he sees no visible motives other than political ones.” The killer may have been a Muslim enraged over Lid’s “blasphemy,” but the perp may also have been a Leftist who believes that Muslims are a victimized group that needs special protection from […]

Switzerland: Four Muslim migrants arrested on suspicion of ties to the Islamic State and al-Qaeda

Oct 6, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer 4 Comments

Remember: anyone who opposes the mass Muslim migrant influx is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” There can be no other reason for doing so. “Swiss arrest 4 suspected of ties to Islamic State, al-Qaida,” Associated Press, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): BERLIN (AP) – Authorities in Switzerland say they have arrested four people on suspicion […]

“It is still difficult to understand the motives of the man.” Yes, because denial and willful ignorance are all-pervasive today. “Knife attack in Montreal-North | ‘Many heard the suspect cry out to Allah!,’” translated from “Attaque au couteau à Montréal-Nord | ‘Plusieurs ont entendu le suspect crier Allah!,’” 98.5 Montréal, October 6, 2020 (thanks to […]

Ex-CIA chief: ‘Very difficult to believe that there wasn’t somebody in Pakistan who was aware’ of Osama’s compound

Oct 6, 2020 11:00 am By Robert Spencer 25 Comments

Indeed. This sham alliance is self-defeating for the US and should have been ended long ago. “US did not share Osama bin Laden’s location with Pakistan due to lack of trust: Ex-CIA chief Panetta,” PTI, October 2, 2020 (thanks to Henry): …Osama bin Laden, the world’s most wanted terrorist and the then al-Qaeda chief, was […]

Turkish foreign minister: EU shouldn’t ‘dare’ to impose sanctions over Turkey’s aggression toward Greece and Cyprus

Çavuşoğlu speaks to the European Union the way an irritated master speaks to a lazy servant. It is clear who he thinks is the boss in their relationship. Also note this: “Thanks to our efforts, irregular migratory flows to Europe have been reduced by 92 percent.” Think about that in light of Erdogan’s repeated threats […]

Al-Azhar condemns Macron’s plan for fighting ‘Islamic separatism’ as an ‘explicit call for racism and hate’

Oct 6, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Racism? Really? What race is “Islamist separatism” again? I keep forgetting. Anyway, we have seen this many, many times before. Any counterterror initiative, no matter how mild, no matter how carefully worded, no matter how many “moderate” profiteers it puts front and center, will be condemned as “racist” and “hateful.” The effect of this is […]

Rushdie rejects Cat Stevens’ claim that he was ‘framed’ when he endorsed Rushdie’s death fatwa for blasphemy

Oct 5, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 70 Comments

Note the dishonesty. “Islam subsequently clarified that he was not condoning the killing of Rushdie but simply stating that, in the Koran, blasphemy is punishable by death.” That was then. Now his lawyers have issued a statement that says: “Regardless of the interpretation that was put on his statements in 1989, he does not support […]
