U.S. intelligence warns that al Qaeda could be planning jihad massacres in three states for Monday
If it doesn’t come Monday, it will come sometime after that, especially if Hillary Clinton is elected President and continues Obama’s policies of denial and willful ignorance regarding the jihad threat. “Sources: U.S. intel warning of possible al Qaeda attacks in U.S. Monday,” CBS, November 4, 2016: …Sources told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat […]
Robert Spencer Video: Is It “Islamophobic” to Call 9/11 Hijackers “Islamic Terrorists”?
In this new video, I discuss two recent protests by Muslims against the labeling of the 9/11 hijackers as Islamic terrorists, and show how they’re part of ongoing efforts to intimidate Americans into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror.
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: When Are Islamic Terrorists Not Islamic Terrorists?
When they commit Islamic terrorism, of course. My latest in FrontPage: “Islamophobia” is running rampant in the heretofore bucolic town of Owego, New York, and Muslims are worried. Are marauding bands of “right-wing extremists” pulling hijabs off little old Muslim ladies and daubing swastikas on the walls of mosques? No, the “Islamophobia” in question appears […]
Muslims enraged that 9/11 monument in small New York town calls perpetrators “Islamic terrorists”
“The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier worries the wording could encourage hatred toward Muslims living in the area, painting all Muslims with the same brush.” This is an oft-used and tired talking point. How does identifying the motivating ideology of the 9/11 attackers paint all Muslims with the same brush? Does referring to the […]

“Lane reported that Yassin tweeted a list of town of residence and phone numbers of approximately 150 U.S. Air Force personnel with the following quote: ‘Rejoice, O supporters of the Caliphate State, with the dissemination of the information to be delivered to lone wolves … God said: “And slay them wherever you may come upon […]
Rochester, NY New Year’s jihad mass murder plotter converted to Islam in prison
He was, however, “radicalized” on the Internet, according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo doesn’t appear to consider even for a second the possibility that he could have been “radicalized” in prison by New York State-certified imams. Inconceivable! But shouldn’t the possibility at very least be investigated? “Cuomo: Suspect in Rochester New Year’s Eve […]
New York: Note left on vet’s car, “All of you Islamaphobes vets deserve to die”
This is similar to a note recently left on a soldier’s car in Georgia, and to a letter dropped through the mail slot at the home of a British soldier. In all three cases, one of the goals is to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Vet finds hateful […]
Lackawanna, New York Muslim arrested for aiding and attempting to join the Islamic State
These arrests are coming every day. We have this one and the Georgia and Florida jihadists (two in Florida), along with the one in Idaho, just over the last few days.

Saudi grad student who killed prof: “I feel like just waking up and destroying the world”
“He was all the time shouting in Arabic, shouting threats, insulting this country for no reason.” Was he a jihadi? This is the first public indication that I have seen that he harbored any destructive thoughts. The PC police will make sure that no one gets the idea that those destructive thoughts may have come […]
Former NYC prison guard who was blinded, nearly raped by al-Qaeda inmates warns against plan to try jihadists in city
Is anyone in D.C. listening, or are they too busy playing politics and putting the supposed symbolism of the trial over the array of obvious security concerns? Louis Pepe Update, and an update on this story. “Blinded Prison Guard: Don’t House Terror Suspects in NYC,” by Joseph Abrams for Fox News, November 16 (thanks to […]
Rochester hit-and-run driver: “The Muslims will fix this country”

Rochester, NY: Muslim intentionally tries to run down people with his car
Police are scratching their heads and wondering what Munir Muthana’s motive could possibly be. And of course, maybe it had nothing to do with jihad at all. Whether it did or not, I’m sure we will hear from authorities and the media that it didn’t. But this is — as far as I know — […]
New York: Methodist wife slits husband’s throat because he wasn’t religious enough — no, wait…
Pious Sheikh Naseem sounds like an abusive husband, but the main problem the wife had was that he wasn’t an observant Muslim. And her solution to that was to cut his throat. Why is it that this sort of solution to impiety only ever seems to occur to Muslims? “New Brighton wife tried to kill […]
Muslims threaten New York restaurant for serving alcohol
Yet another stealth jihad attempt to compel non-Muslims to change their behavior to accommodate Muslim sensibilities. “Spotted Piglet Hiccups: Boozy Breslin Clashes With Mosque,” by Meredith Bryan for the New York Observer, October 27 (thanks to Ed): The much-hyped, soon-to-open Breslin restaurant, situated in the 12-story Ace Hotel on Broadway and 29th, is giving members […]
Two New York men charged with trying to run weapons to Hizballah
It’s unclear at this point whether they are Islamic jihadists or just useful idiots. “‘Hezbollah’ dad tried to help thugs,” by Kati Cornell and Joe Mollica for the New York Post, October 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): Two men — including a married father of two from Queens — were hit with […]

Pah! “Stunning: Despite Plot, NYC’s Terror Funds Slashed,” by Marcia Kramer for CBS, October 10 (thanks to Pamela): NEW YORK (CBS) “• After facing one of the most serious terror threats since the 9-11 attacks, Department of Homeland Security officials are slashing a big […]
Mysterious explosion at Islamic school in Syracuse, New York
Maybe it was just a faulty gas jet. Maybe it was just a wiring problem. Could have been anything. But there have been some interesting stories over the years from Islamic schools in other countries: July 2009: Bomb kills nine at imam’s house used as Islamic school in Pakistan April 2007: 22 arrested for bombmaking […]
