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

UK’s Independent reveals “How Muslim women are using makeup to get closer to their religion”

Jul 7, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Independent wants to make sure that you know that Muslim women are not “demure and oppressed.” And that’s just wonderful. Meanwhile, when does the Independent plan to run its feature on how Jewish women use makeup? How Christian women use makeup? How Hindu women use makeup? Etc. The answer in every case, of course, […]

Was Jihadi Really Inspired by Tommy Robinson and Robert Spencer?

Feb 24, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: I’ve been writing about the ills of jihad violence and Sharia-inspired oppression of women and others for nearly two decades now, so imagine my surprise when I woke up one morning to find myself guilty of inspiring a jihad attack. Yes, as far-fetched as it sounds, Lizzie Dearden of the […]

Independent claims Muslim who attacked cops with sword was inspired by Tommy Robinson, David Wood, Robert Spencer

Feb 10, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Lizzie Dearden of the Independent details here how jihad terrorist Mohiusunnath Chowdhury, whose hate and bloodlust we have covered a great deal here at Jihad Watch, says he learned from Tommy Robinson, David Wood and me. In this, Dearden echoes Chowdhury’s prosecutor, Duncan Atkinson, whose claim that Chowdhury was inspired by Robinson we reported yesterday. […]

UK: Independent’s Lizzie Dearden whitewashes Islamic identity of Muslim rape gang

Jul 19, 2018 1:13 pm By Robert Spencer

What makes this all the more extraordinary is that Dearden’s story is about how the Home Office knew about the Muslim rape gang activity in Rotherham as far back as 2002, but did nothing for decade, apparently for fear of being charged with “racism,” even though Islam is not a race (as fewer and fewer […]

The Free Tommy demo and the Muslim bus driver

Jul 16, 2018 9:32 am By Joshua Winston

Saturday’s Free Tommy Robinson rally in Whitehall in London was another heavily attended get-together. The speakers weren’t as bombastic, flamboyant, or as well-known as speakers from previous events, but you can’t have the same people all of the time. People have busy diaries and schedules, and it’s a good thing that the organizers are bringing […]

UK’s Independent falsely accuses Trump of trying to limit free speech, ignores real Islamic attempts to limit it

Jan 8, 2018 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The title of the Independent article below is misleading. It states: “Donald Trump suggests he wants US law to limit free speech in wake of publication of explosive new book.” Unfortunately, far too many people read little more than headlines, so in this case, they are left with the impression that Trump — due to […]

News From Mexico: “A Vibrant Muslim Community”

Oct 30, 2017 10:08 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

A new report in The Independent on a small group of Muslim converts in San Cristobal de las Casas, gives itself away with its title: “Mexico’s Vibrant Muslim Community Lives in the Maya Heartland”: A trip to Mexico’s indigenous Maya heartland showed me how a vibrant Muslim community had sprung up in this predominantly Roman […]

UK: Muslim leader fears anti-Muslim “backlash” after Muslim rape gang conviction

Aug 12, 2017 11:31 am By Robert Spencer

“It’s not a ‘Muslim issue’ but they are mostly Muslims. So are Isis – they might not represent what Islam says but you can’t deny they’re Muslims.” Ahad is ignoring the massive justification for this behavior within the Qur’an and Sunnah, as I detail here. This makes it overwhelmingly likely that he and his colleagues […]

UK’s Independent pleads that nothing be done to stop jihad terror after Manchester massacre

May 23, 2017 7:54 am By Robert Spencer

“We’re not actually equipped to do that much at all, other than to try to carry on, to not allow ourselves to be terrorised, to stop living our lives.” In reality, there is plenty that we can do. We can stop lying to ourselves and to each other about what is happening and why. We […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: UK’s Independent: ‘Allahu Akbar’ Is A Publicity Stunt, Not Jihad

Sep 1, 2016 4:01 pm By Robert Spencer

The media’s never-ending quest to exonerate Islam grows even more farfetched. My latest in FrontPage: Andrew MacLeod is a “visiting Professor at Kings College London and a former UN and Red Cross official who served in countries like Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others.” What sloppy writing. What countries are like Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, and […]

Independent: Muslim killers scream “Allahu akbar” to get publicity, not because they’re jihadis

Aug 30, 2016 12:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Andrew MacLeod is a “visiting Professor at Kings College London and a former UN and Red Cross official who served in countries like Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and others.” What sloppy writing. What countries are like Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan? “He has negotiated with warlords and terrorists.” He explains here that a Muslim who […]

Independent: UK converts to Islam face suspicion and prejudice

May 29, 2016 2:44 pm By Robert Spencer

This piece from February is yet another in a seemingly endless series of articles designed to make non-Muslims feel guilty about being suspicious of Islam. The full-length piece features a series of converts to Islam telling their sad stories of how they supposedly faced prejudice — in Britain, where Islam is chic and pandered to […]

Independent: Quran doesn’t sanction sex slavery, slaves have to consent

Feb 16, 2016 10:43 am By Robert Spencer

This is a standard-issue Islamic apologetic piece from the Independent, replete with the usual ingredients: a great deal of whining about “Islamophobes,” vicious ad hominem attacks against them, and a slyly selective presentation of the facts at hand, designed to mislead. Note also Mariam Hakim’s repeated equation of “Islamophobic extremists” with “Islamist extremists,” and “ISIS” […]

UK’s Independent: Muhammad had British values, so fight “extremism” by teaching more Islam in schools

Nov 3, 2015 5:28 am By Robert Spencer

This is just the sort of thing the addled Leftists of the Independent eat up by the truckload. But let’s look into some of the British values that Islamic tradition holds Muhammad as having taught: Women must cover everything but their face and hands: “‘O Asma’, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it […]
