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

FBI’s 2019 ‘Hate Crime’ Statistics Show Anti-Semitism Skyrocketing, ‘Islamophobia’ Decreasing

Nov 28, 2020 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer 26 Comments

Media coverage will give the exact opposite impression. And remember: “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. “FBI’s 2019 ‘Hate Crime’ Statistics Show Islamophobia Decreases Again,” Creeping Sharia, November 18, 2020 […]

How NPR Still Reports Falsehoods About Those Murders of Muslims in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Oct 20, 2020 10:00 am By Hugh Fitzgerald 7 Comments

While listening to NPR on Sunday, October 9, 2020, at 1:25 PM Pacific Time, I heard the NPR announcer mention the “anti-Muslim killings some years ago in Chapel Hill.” This dreamy bit of misinformation, so offhandedly delivered (as if no one could disagree), startled me. And not for the first time. On February 10, 2016, […]

Germany: Muslim migrant sets fire to his own shop, claims it was a ‘hate crime,’ collects over $35,000

Sep 10, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

“Islamophobic hate crimes” are in reality so thin on the ground that those who profit from claiming that Muslims are the targets of widespread discrimination and harassment in the West have to invent them. And they’re so much a part of the Western media narrative that Mohammad Moussa A. could be absolutely certain that his […]

Sweden: ‘Hate crime’ police investigate as raw pork, two roasted Qur’ans placed at site of Arab cultural association

Sep 6, 2020 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Yes, the person who did this 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 made to clean up any mess that was made. But that’s about it. The reaction from the Malmö […]

Pakistani website fabricates story of Hindus raping Muslim girl in New Delhi, uses 2018 photo from Bangladesh

Mar 13, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

If Muslims are or were really being subjected to wholesale violence in India, wouldn’t there be abundant images of this persecution? Why would images from elsewhere have to be presented as if they were from Delhi? Were images of actual anti-Muslim violence so rare that they had to be fabricated, as we have seen among […]

India: Muslim leader claims Hindus torched a Muslim’s house, but police find there was no arson

Mar 1, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Muslims in India are perpetrating victimhood hoaxes after the manner of the “Palestinians,” and enjoying the eager cooperation of the international establishment media, just as the “Palestinians” do. “AAP’s Amanatullah Khan claims rioters torched house, Fire department says ‘not related to arson,’” by Sidharth Shekhar, TimesNowNews, March 1, 2020: New Delhi: Anti-CAA riots accused Amanatullah […]

Los Angeles: Anti-Semitic hate crimes 14 times more frequent than anti-Muslim hate crimes

Jan 27, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

No hate crimes are ever justified. The “Islamophobia” industry, however, wildly exaggerates the threat to Muslims and falsely portrays them as subject to widespread discrimination and harassment in the US, in its indefatigable pursuit of protected victim status. “Anti-Semitic hate crimes in LA increased by 60 percent,” JNS, January 24, 2020 (thanks to The Religion […]

Dec 11, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

There are so few instances of actual “Islamophobia” that the victimhood narrative and hysteria surrounding Muslims in the West has to be constantly shored up with fake hate crimes. “’Student Assaulted for Being Muslim,’” by Lloyd Billingsley, FrontPage, December 9, 2019: “Elk Grove student assaulted for being Muslim,” read the headline in the Sacramento Bee […]

FBI data: Anti-Muslim hate crimes under Trump are below Obama levels in 2014

Nov 17, 2019 11:00 am By Daniel Greenfield

The media has put out numerous pieces based on bad data and hate crime hoaxes claiming that President Trump was responsible for a rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes. Now the FBI data is out and it actually shows that anti-Muslim hate crimes under Trump are below Obama levels in 2014. Does that mean that Obama […]

UK police urge public to report “hateful” behaviour “even if it isn’t a crime,” say “you don’t even need evidence”

Oct 22, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Note also that the possibility of Muslims brutalizing and victimizing non-Muslims is not contemplated, despite a superabundance of evidence, in the Muslim rape gangs and incidents such as this one, that such things do happen. In Boris Johnson’s shabby little police state, the narrative must be advanced, and reality will just have to bend to […]

UK: Sadiq Khan’s $2,000,000 Thought Police has resulted in only six prosecutions for Thoughtcrime

Oct 9, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Where the money went is a legitimate question, but it is abominable that the Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, wants more Thoughtcrime prosecutions. “This is money that could have been used to invest in additional police officers and protect Londoners from a whole host of crimes.” Indeed. Even real ones. “Sadiq […]
