Given his track record, there is little doubt that de Blasio will apologize and provide better quality meals for New York City’s new privileged class. “New York Muslims raise concerns about substandard Ramadan meals,” by Umar A Farooq, Middle East Eye, May 8, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Earlier this month, New York […]
NYC: De Blasio threatened to close churches and synagogues permanently, but gives Muslims 500,000 meals for Ramadan
This is similar to what we see in Britain on a more or less daily basis: special treatment and special accommodations for Muslims. Britain is well on the way to establishing Muslims as a protected class with rights and privileges beyond those of ordinary citizens, and de Blasio has embarked on the same path. It […]
NYC Mayor de Blasio threatens to shut down churches and synagogues permanently, makes no mention of mosques
This is patently unconstitutional and unlikely to stand, but de Blasio’s omission is noteworthy. As he has assiduously courted support from Muslim advocates and Islamic groups, it is unlikely that the existence of mosques in New York just slipped his mind. He threatens those whom he knows are susceptible to threats, and not those among […]
NYC Mayor de Blasio uses counterterrorism plane to shuttle back and forth from his Canada vacation
Why not? It isn’t as if there is any terror threat to New York City that might require use of this plane, right? De Blasio made that threat a thing of the past by dismantling the NYPD’s counterterror surveillance program, thereby ending all resentment Muslims may have had toward the city — right? “De Blasio […]
Robert Spencer video: Why de Blasio ended NYC’s Confidential Mosque Informant Program
I appeared on John Cardillo’s Off the Cuff on Rebel Media the other day. Here is our conversation about New York City’s late, lamented Confidential Mosque Informant Program. You can see more of our conversation here.
New York City to spend $50,000,000 on “security infrastructure,” including 1,500 steel street barriers
“But we knew we needed long-term solutions, we needed permanent barriers.” This is the man who ended a program of mosque surveillance that included mosques attended by the last two jihad attackers in New York City, and he is talking about “long-term solutions”? His entire administration is about long-term vulnerability. “New York to install 1,500 […]
NYPD monitored jihad murderer Saipov’s mosque until Linda Sarsour convinced them to stop
It’s true. The NYPD dismantled the Demographics Unit in 2014, after Linda Sarsour led a campaign complaining that it was “Islamophobic.” And now we see where that leads. Get the full story of the consequences of this demonization of counterterror efforts in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe. Preorder here now. “NYPD Monitored Terrorist’s […]
De Blasio: “Last thing we should do is start casting dispersions [sic] on whole races of people or whole religions”
In other words, we’re not going to study the motivating ideology behind yesterday’s jihad attack. We’re going to pretend it isn’t what it is. We’re going to pretend it is not being spread in New York mosques. We’re going to pretend that Islam is a religion of peace. Sure, more people will get killed in […]
New York City subway posters affirm right of Muslim women to wear hijab
New York City’s virtue is now amply signaled, and it is interesting that the City authorities decided to mount this campaign in the subways, where a Muslima named Yasmin Seweid falsely claimed that she had been brutalized by Trump supporters for wearing hijabs. Actual incidents of harassment of hijab-wearing women are harder to come by. […]
NYC censored anti-terror handbook to appease Muslims, but it accurately predicted radicalization patterns
This is an illustration of the truth about what I said last Thursday at Truman State University: that charges of “Islamophobia” and “racism” are used to hinder legitimate counterterror efforts, thus paving the way for more jihad terror attacks. “The purge of a report on radical Islam has put NYC at risk,” by Paul Sperry, New […]
De Blasio “really angry” with Muslim hate crime hoaxer because it’s really Trump’s fault
“There is an obvious spike in hate crimes. We can’t have deniers telling us that the rhetoric of many people, including Donald Trump, didn’t lead to that.” De Blasio is enraged that this girl has cast doubt on the flimsy and fictional Leftist narrative that Trump has led to a spike in hate crimes. He […]
NYC: De Blasio administration promises Muslims it will “fight back” against Trump
National security? Preventing jihad terror attacks? Pah! Politically correct pandering is all that matters. “De Blasio Administration Promises Muslims It Will ‘Fight Back’ Against Donald Trump,” by Madina Toure, Observer, November 11, 2016: Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Nisha Argawal said the city will have to “wait and see” what kinds of policies President-Elect Donald Trump actually […]
After two jihad attacks in NYC in September, de Blasio names September 25 “Muslim Parade Day”
A Muslim slashed a New York cop with a meat cleaver on September 15. Another Muslim planted bombs in New York and New Jersey; one went off, wounding 29 people in Chelsea on September 17. In response, the city of New York is honoring all the contributions Muslims make to the city. Mayor Bill de […]
NYC Mayor: Islamic terror “vanishingly rare,” calls for more Muslim migrants
How rare is “vanishingly” rare? What level of jihad terror is acceptable as far as de Blasio is concerned? If people were being poisoned by candy bars, and the candy bar company dismissed the incidence of poisoned bars as “vanishingly rare,” would you buy those candy bars? De Blasio would rather see New Yorkers murdered […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: A Weekend of Coincidences
I wrote this yesterday afternoon before it was indisputable that the New York and New Jersey bombs were jihad. It stands as a record of the denial and willful ignorance of our authorities. In FrontPage today: It was a weekend of coincidences: acts declared not to be terrorism that just happened to look a great […]
NY governor contradicts NY mayor, says Chelsea blast was terrorism, but says no evidence of international terrorism
Cuomo may be implying that it was “right-wing extremism,” not jihad, but this really isn’t clear enough to go by. The only thing it establishes is that Cuomo is more realistic and honest than de Blasio. But this still doesn’t make it clear whether or not this was an act of jihad. If our leaders […]
NYC: Pressure cooker bomb resembling one used in Boston Marathon jihad massacre found 4 blocks from IED explosion
This doesn’t necessarily mean that jihadis planted the bomb. Maybe “right-wing extremists” have decided to copy jihadi methods. No information yet to go on. But the coincidence is striking. “Powerful Blast Injures at Least 29 in Manhattan; Second Device Found,” by Christopher Mele, Al Baker and Michael Barbaro, New York Times, September 17, 2016: A […]
NYC: IED explosion wounds 29, Muslims cheer on Twitter, de Blasio says “intentional,” but not “terrorism”
The mayor’s statement is absolutely incoherent. It’s “intentional” but not “terrorism.” All right. So this means the bomb in Chelsea was not an accident, but was put there deliberately in order to kill and maim. That seems to be the very definition of terrorism, but the mayor, a good friend of Islamic supremacists such as […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Just Who is in the “Perpetual Crosshairs of Bigotry”?
After the killing of an imam and his assistant in Queens last week, the media were full of stories about Muslims, in Queens, in New York City, all over the country, apparently terrified that yet another “hate crime” had been directed at them. The headlines all went like this: “Dread increases for Muslims.” “Fear among […]
New settlement protects Muslims from NYPD surveillance
What could possibly go wrong? New guidelines “include explicitly incorporating police policies against religious profiling.” Good. Because everyone knows that Muslims (27,000+ murderous terror attacks worldwide since 9/11 justified by their perpetrators by pointing to their scriptures) are no more likely than Jews or Christians (no murderous terror attacks worldwide since 9/11 justified by their […]
