New in PJ Media: The stabbing of Salman Rushdie has been the occasion for numerous people around the world to reaffirm their commitment to the freedom of speech, and that’s all to the good. I couldn’t help but notice once again, however, the stark contrast between the response to the attack on Rushdie and the […]
Texas: Muslim ‘inspired by a foreign terrorist organization’ murders Lyft driver, opens fire at police station
“He was inspired by the rhetoric and or/propaganda. He wasn’t directed to do this.” Police didn’t name the “foreign terrorist organization” that inspired Imran Ali Rasheed. Maybe it was some group of Congolese white supremacists that the FBI has cooked up. In the real world, however, one possibility is that Rasheed was inspired by the […]
Charlotte: Muslim convicted for jihad recruitment on America soil, a “threat we face daily,” says agent
Had the article below read: “Charlotte man convicted of trying to recruit backers for white supremacist war on US soil,” it would be the headline of every major newspaper. But it is about jihad terror, the biggest threat to free nations today, and so it is not given due attention, despite the alarming news that […]
Undercover FBI agent who urged jihadis to “tear up Texas” claims he didn’t know they were going to do so
This is the first time that the FBI has offered any explanation at all of some extremely strange facts: an undercover agent was in contact with the jihad terrorists who were targeting our AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest in Garland, Texas on May 3, 2015. He told them to “tear up Texas.” […]
FBI stonewalls, fights against turning over documents showing its role in jihad attack at AFDI free speech event
It has become abundantly clear in the course of the Trump/Russia investigation that the FBI is corrupt to an extent far beyond what anyone had hitherto suspected, and its failure to act upon reports it had received of the Florida school shooter before his attack is just the latest evidence of its abject incompetence. One […]
FBI, DOJ argue for dismissal of suit about their foreknowledge of Garland, Texas jihad attack
This case should not be dismissed. I was co-sponsor and co-organizer of this event and spoke at it, and was there when the jihadis began firing. And this case is bigger than Bruce Joiner, which is not to say that his case is not of cardinal importance. The FBI clearly knew the attack was coming […]
Security guard wounded in jihad attack at Muhammad cartoon event sues FBI, charges coverup
Good for Bruce Joiner. There are many, many unanswered questions about what happened at Garland, and about what the FBI was doing there. 60 Minutes ran a feature last March about the FBI’s curious role in the May 2015 Garland jihad attack at a free speech event co-organized by Pamela Geller and me. It was, […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Newsmax’s Malzberg: FBI Wanted Pamela Geller and Me Dead in Garland Jihad Attack
On Newsmax’s Malzberg show today, I discuss how the FBI knew of the Garland jihad plot beforehand, and not only did nothing to stop it, but actively encouraged it. I explain in more detail here.
FBI agent “didn’t try to stop” Garland jihad attackers — did FBI want Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer dead?
Although we were co-organizers of the event, neither Pamela Geller nor I appear, except in one still photo, in this 60 Minutes piece on the jihad attack at our Garland, Texas free speech event in May 2015. All they say is that “a self-described free speech advocate named Pamela Geller was holding a provocative contest.” […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Did the FBI Goad Jihadis Into Attacking the Garland Muhammad Cartoon Contest?
Over at PJ Media I discuss how the Daily Beast is trying to demonize the FBI and cover for jihad killers: Is the FBI one of the chief motivators of jihad activity? The Daily Beast thinks so, as do many others. Friday’s article about how an undercover FBI agent supposedly goaded the jihad terrorists who […]
