“Two of the men are on a list of those people German police consider to be a terrorist threat….The three men, who all live in the Saarlouis region, came to Germany in 2015 as refugees from Syria’s civil war and applied for asylum.” Danke, Merkel! “German police arrest three terror suspects,” DW, April 13, 2018: […]
Akbar Ahmed’s Islamic Mirage II
The documentary Journey into Europe, the basis for a recent book, presents an “Islam which is very benign,” skeptically noted one audience questioner during a January 28, 2016, German embassy preview screening in Washington, DC. A previous review of the film’s sanitized treatment of Europe’s Islamic history thoroughly justified his disbelief, and the film’s latter […]
Italy: Half-naked statue covered with a sheet for Islamic conference
This Telegraph story is very sloppily written. “Conservative politicians seized on the case, claiming it was an example of Italy going too far to accommodate the feelings of immigrant communities.” That would suggest that non-Muslim Italians covered the statue in order to avoid offending Muslims. But then we get this: “‘I covered the statue but […]
The Battle for Speaker’s Corner
Is this a defining moment? I’ve lived in London for ten years now, and I had never heard of Speakers’ Corner upon my arrival. I knew nothing of its history and relevance, both past and present, until one Sunday I was cycling through and noticed the crowds and the speakers. One older lady on a […]
Arab League: “We strongly condemn attempts to link terrorism and Islam”
At the 29th Al-Quds Summit, the Arab League declared: We strongly condemn attempts to link terrorism and Islam. Until the Arab League openly rejects the overtly violent texts of the Quran and Sunnah, and condemns its member, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, for its mandate to destroy Israel, its words about terrorism are obvious deceit. The […]
France: Lesbians in suburbs heavily populated by Muslim migrants forced to hide their sexuality
France and the other nations of the West have long traditions of respect for human rights and of the equality of rights of all people. But now, with massive Muslim migration from countries that do not respect such principles, gays are now being forced back into the closet. Yet as this is happening, one hears […]
Canada: On Trudeau’s behalf, Muslim MP Iqra Khalid honours anti-Israel activists
“‘Land Day’ symbolizes the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) determination to “‘liberate’ ‘Palestine’ by wiping Israel off the map.” On April 14, 2018, the Palestine House held its annual commemoration of the “Land Day”…..The keynote speaker at the event was Palestinian Archbishop Atallah Hanna who is known of his support of Syria’s Assad regime and the Palestinian […]
US response to 1979 Iran hostage crisis was hampered by an “American inability to understand” Khomeini
One of the biggest ongoing problems of U.S. foreign policy is a failure to understand what we’re really up against. This problem goes back decades. In Theodore H. White’s America In Search of Itself, there is this telling passage about the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979: Of the negotiating effort, the most biting summary was […]
Spain: Man converts to Islam, plots to behead an “infidel” on video, commit jihad massacres
“In March 2015, the main leader of the cell, a Spaniard who had converted to Islam, proposed to kidnap and decapitate an ‘infidel’ whom he had already identified, film the killing and then broadcast the video online before fleeing to Syria….Members of the cell had also gone on a recce in Barcelona, the Catalonian capital, […]
745 known jihadis now in Germany, since 2017 regional governments have deported only 10
“There were no plots in Germany in 2014, and only two in 2015. In 2016, this increased eightfold. There is a straightforward reason for this: In 2015, Germany took in over 1 million refugees and 2016 saw a surge in plots involving refugees.” Yet there is still no reconsideration of the plan to bring in even […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Taqiyya About Taqiyya in BuzzFeed
Deception is Islamic, despite attempts to deceive you into believing otherwise. My latest in PJ Media: The establishment media is always ready to explain to us how, despite the ever-mounting body count of jihad warfare, Islam is entirely benign and teaches peace and tolerance. To pull off this legerdemain requires advanced skill in the art […]
Australia: Sleeping man feels “sharp pain in his neck,” wakes to see knife-wielding Muslima screaming “Allahu akbar”
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Not that this has anything to do with… An update on this story. “Father recounts the terrifying moment a burqa-clad Bangladeshi student staying at his house and ‘inspired by ISIS screamed “Allahu Akbar” as she stabbed him in the neck’ while he slept and his […]
Video: Q and A with Robert Spencer on “Whaddo You Meme??”
Over the last few days I’ve been busy filming scenes for David Wood’s boffo “Islamicize Me” project. Late last night Jon McCray from the “Whaddo You Meme??” YouTube channel and I, although a bit tired, took some time out to do a spontaneous livestream Q and A. It was fun.
Muslim from Indiana joins the Islamic State in Syria, keeps two sex slaves at home with his wife and kids
Why have we seen not just the Islamic State, but also Boko Haram and al-Shabaab take sex slaves? Because it is sanctioned in Islamic law. The seizure of Infidel girls and their use as sex slaves is sanctioned in the Qur’an. According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an […]
Islamic scholar Akbar Ahmed: Italy must remember its pluralist past
Akbar Ahmed has a sterling reputation as a “moderate” Muslim and thoughtful academic, but there is a sinister undercurrent to his new book Journey Into Europe: he calls for a “New Andalusia,” which to non-Muslims who have forgotten their own history conjures up the newly-minted historical myth of a paradise of peace and tolerance, under […]
A fine display of Islamic values
There is a practicing Muslim in Glasgow by the name of Shaykh Zoheeb Iqbal. He runs an organization called the Al Falaah Academy in Glasgow’s south side, an area heavily populated by Muslims. His organization helps deliver lectures and courses to universities. This is all fine and dandy if it weren’t for the character of […]
Russian Roulette of the West
While the West is busy hunting Russian “witches,” its sworn enemies devour it alive from within. In 1986, Georges Besse, the manager of France’s largest state company, Eurodif, arrived at his office as per usual. When he got out of his car, he was shot at point-blank range by unknown people on a motorcycle. Initially […]
Jamie Glazov: Facebook Bans Me For Reporting a Muslim’s Threat
Facebook has banned me for seven days. My crime is posting/reporting on my Facebook page a physical threat that was made to me personally on my own FB page by a member of the Religion of Peace. On Saturday, April 14, 2018, a certain Muhammad Irfan Ayoub started commenting on my page, rebuking me for […]
Pakistan: Muslims open fire on Christians leaving Sunday worship, two dead, five injured
If Christians had opened fire on Muslims leaving a mosque, which they would, of course, never do, there would be insistent and ongoing international coverage. But no one will take any particular note of this. It’s just another day in Pakistan. “At least 2 dead, 5 injured in attack on Christian community near church in […]
La Crosse Tribune’s Mike Tighe crows over cancellation of counterjihad event, says jihad is spiritual war
It’s the same thing every time: if someone who speaks the truth about the nature and magnitude of the global jihad, including John Guandolo and me, is invited to speak anywhere off the conservative reservation or is holding a public event anywhere, there are protests, defamatory “news” articles, and calls for us to be canceled.
