Not long ago Robert Spencer and another speaker were attempting to elucidate, for an audience in New York, the ideology of Islam, that ideology that explains, without much trouble, the behavior of many Muslims, and the real attitudes of many more. Someone in the audience caused a stir, and while the security guards ran to […]
Censorship at Columbia and Princeton
Jihadis and their allies continue their Alinskyite strategy of marginalizing their opponents — and their thuggish attempts to silence them. And dhimmi university officials are all too happy to oblige them. Free Speech Death Watch Alert: “Free Speech Silenced at Columbia and Princeton,” by Pamela Geller in The American Thinker, November 24: Nonie Darwish, the […]
Pie-throwing roundup
Last Tuesday, while I was speaking at NYU, Leftist students created a diversion and threw pies at me and the other speaker, Elan Journo (they missed me, but got Journo on the shoulder). In brief: 1. This is assault. 2. This shows the utter intellectual bankruptcy of the Left. They can’t answer arguments, so they […]
Muslim countries trying again to criminalize criticism of Islam at the UN
They’re doing it, of course, under the cover of criminalizing “blasphemy,” but the real agenda here is to compel the West to adopt Sharia norms forbidding criticism of Islam, including analysis of the jihad terrorists’ motives and goals. This, of course, would leave us mute and defenseless before them. AP thinks that the free nations […]

Groucho jihad fails at NYU
Earlier this evening I spoke at NYU on a panel with Elan Journo. I had just started explaining the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism when a young man in the middle of the audience stood up and started yelling and refused to be quiet. When the security guards went over to start moving him out […]
Spencer: Caesar Obama
In my column in Front Page today I discuss the latest ridiculous encomium being heaped upon the President, and its ominous implications. The chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, Rocco Landesman, provoked ridicule when he said last week that “Barack Obama is the most powerful writer since Julius Caesar.” He didn’t mean that […]
Islamic countries pushing global “blasphemy” law
As noted here many times, such a law would criminalize all honest exploration of the Islamic motives and goals of the jihadis, thereby rendering us defenseless against them. What is odd here is that the Christian Science Monitor says that the U.S. is opposing this initiative. That is good news if it is true, but […]
Toronto imam who prayed for destruction of Infidels says that only Misunderstanders of Islam would take offense at that
Or as the great Shaidle puts it, “It’s all YOUR fault for being morons, you stupid infidels!” An update on this story. “Address on niqab not meant to be offensive: Imam,” by Charles Lewis in the National Post, October 23 (thanks to Kathy Shaidle): A Toronto imam said on Friday he did not intend to […]
Shocker: Hillary Clinton breaks with her boss, denounces “defamation of religion” laws
Finding courage Obama just had the U.S. at the UN consponsor with Egypt a resolution against inciting religious hatred. But apparently his Secretary of State is not on board, or not completely on board. “Clinton Denounces Proposed ‘Defamation of Religions’ Policies,” by Michelle A. Vu for the Christian Post, October 27 (thanks to Islam In […]
