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

Reza Aslan’s agenda: showing Hinduism and Christianity as violent, Islam as peaceful

Mar 9, 2017 7:07 pm By Robert Spencer

David Wood several years ago pointed out a feature of Reza Aslan’s work that, as time goes by, increasingly appears to be the central feature of all his work: he downplays or denies the violent aspects of Islamic teaching, while exaggerating or inventing violent elements in other religions. In No god but God, Aslan portrayed […]

Reza Aslan eats human brains, but it’s unlikely to help

Mar 7, 2017 6:02 pm By Robert Spencer

It is said that one justification among cannibals for cannibalism is that the virtues and powers of the person being eaten will pass to the eater. And so it is oddly fitting that Reza Aslan would feature himself on his CNN show eating human brain tissue; he is, after all, a profoundly stupid man, whose […]

Reza Aslan: Why he is not a Muslim

Feb 28, 2017 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

In this CNN piece, Reza Aslan purports to explain why he is a Muslim, and only ends up demonstrating that he is not a Muslim (although he is an Islamic apologist). Now, I can hear the chorus of outrage now through my office window: Muslim explains why he is a Muslim, bigoted “Islamophobe” says he […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Reza Aslan: A Muslim “Will & Grace” Will Cure “Islamophobia”

Jan 12, 2017 5:20 am By Robert Spencer

Victimhood? Most Islamic countries would murder Will. My latest in PJ Media: No matter how high the jihad body count rises, the Left clings to the notion that the only reason why anyone in America is suspicious of Islam or Muslims is because of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” But now the establishment propaganda media’s favorite Muslim, […]

Reza Aslan: A Muslim “Will & Grace” will cure “Islamophobia”

Jan 6, 2017 12:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“What changed people’s minds was ‘Will and Grace,’ was ‘Modern Family,’ was watching people who were gay on television being, you know, ‘normal,’” says the establishment propaganda media’s favorite Muslim, Reza Aslan, as he threatens to inflict upon us a self-righteous, fatuous, virtue-signaling Muslim family sitcom. Because, you see, “stories have the power to breakthrough […]

Reza Aslan claims that since 2002, right-wing terrorists have killed far more Americans than Islamic terrorists

Sep 17, 2016 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Media wonder boy Reza Aslan is behind the curve on this one: this particular talking point has already been debunked (not that he would care, or stop repeating it, if he knew). Back in June 2015, the New America Foundation published a study that garnered enthusiastic international publicity, as it purported to demonstrate that “right-wing […]

Robert Spencer in Front Page: Reza Aslan: Trump Is Popular Because of ‘Islamophobia’

Apr 12, 2016 12:37 pm By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage today I explore more lies and half-truths from everyone’s favorite Leftist media darling, Reza Aslan. It is abundantly clear now that Reza is in way over his head, and covers over his abject ignorance of basic facts by making things up and asserting them as fact while repeatedly insisting he is a “scholar,” […]

Reza Aslan: Trump is popular because of “Islamophobia”

Apr 9, 2016 1:46 pm By Robert Spencer

The adulation that the mainstream media heaps upon Reza Aslan is a singular demonstration of how superficial and biased the mainstream really is. For Aslan is no scholar, and if he were not a Muslim and a Leftist, his frequent howling errors of fact would have consigned him to media oblivion long ago. No non-Muslim […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Reza Aslan Wants to See a Muslim “All in the Family”

Jan 8, 2016 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage, I discuss Reza Aslan’s risible claim that “Muslims are never going to feel like a part of the American family until people start to make fun of them on TV.” Great idea! How about a show about a young man whose parents fled Khomeini’s Iran and left Islam, only to see their son […]

Reza Aslan wants to see a Muslim “All in the Family”; will he play Meathead?

Jan 6, 2016 11:14 am By Robert Spencer

“I’m waiting for a Muslim ‘All in the Family.’ Muslims are never going to feel like a part of the American family until people start to make fun of them on TV. That’s how minds have always been changed in this country.” Really? Can he give us a single other example of a group that […]

UC Riverside Magazine Gushes Over Celebrity Prof Reza Aslan

Oct 23, 2015 12:59 pm By Cinnamon Stillwell

UCR, the Magazine of UC Riverside, recently produced one of its periodic puff pieces on creative writing professor, self-declared Islam expert, and soon-to-be television host, Reza Aslan. The author, Vanessa Hua, is a former student and teaching assistant of Aslan’s who exhibits no objectivity whatsoever in lauding him as “a social media darling and a […]

Reza Aslan’s evening prayer

Oct 14, 2015 4:06 pm By James Beverley

Reza Aslan is known for his creative writing. I wonder if he puts his evening prayers to paper. Here is one prayer for his consideration: “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Allahu akbar. I seek forgiveness from Allah for all my sins and turn […]

Bill Maher, Richard Dawkins slam Left for giving Islam “free pass” despite jihad terrorism

Oct 5, 2015 2:09 pm By Robert Spencer

What is noteworthy about this is how selective and one-sided Maher and Dawkins are. They’re all upset about the Marxist anti-Semite Maryam Namazie being banned from speaking at a university because of her views on Islam, but have never said a word while for years Pamela Geller and I and others who tell the same […]

The mullahs’ academic cheerleaders: Meet the profs who love Obama’s Iran deal

Aug 11, 2015 1:28 pm By Robert Spencer

It isn’t surprising that Aslan and Cole would be cheerleading for this disastrous deal, since they are both Board members of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). NIAC has been established in court as a lobbying group for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Said Michael Rubin: “Jamal Abdi, NIAC’s policy director, now appears to push […]

Three fake “Islamophobic hate crimes” the media ran with

Aug 11, 2015 12:43 pm By Robert Spencer

We covered all these extensively at Jihad Watch when they happened; it is good, however, to see others beginning to take notice. Islamic supremacist groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they’re the currency they use to buy power and influence in our victimhood-oriented society, […]

Reza Aslan: US, Iran “more alike than they are different,” Iran “forward-thinking, modern and educated”

Aug 1, 2015 8:34 am By Robert Spencer

In this video, media darling Reza Aslan, a profoundly stupid man, recites from cue cards that are disconcertingly off-center, so that he is not looking at the viewer, but just a bit off to the side. Ineptitude, however, can be excused; subversion cannot. As you watch Reza Aslan trying to make you think that Iran […]

Reza Aslan hypes “Islamophobia”

Apr 29, 2015 4:59 pm By Cinnamon Stillwell

At an April 13 lecture at the University of California, Riverside, UCR creative writing professor and self-styled expert on Islam and the Middle East Reza Aslan employed biased sources, isolated statistics, and ad hominem attacks to blame critics of radical Islam for the alleged rise in “Islamophobia” in post-9/11 America. “Islamophobia: The Real Enemy” was […]

Steve Emerson, Reza Aslan, and the mainstream media: some errors are more erroneous than others

Jan 14, 2015 3:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Over the last few days, the mainstream media has been howling with glee over Steve Emerson’s gaffe on Fox News. Emerson said that in Britain, “there are actual cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims just simply don’t go in,” and “in parts of London, there are actually Muslim religious police that actually […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Top Anti-Muslim Hate Crime Hoaxes of 2014

Dec 29, 2014 11:21 am By Robert Spencer

In FrontPage today I discuss the growth industry of faking anti-Muslim hate crimes: On Christmas morning, a man drove up to the Islamic Cultural Center in Fresno, threw rocks through the windows, and then entered the center and destroyed things inside. The local ABC outlet, KFSN, reported Friday that “Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer says it is clear […]

Feminist blisters Reza Aslan for claiming women have equality in many Muslim countries

Dec 8, 2014 1:45 pm By Robert Spencer

Reza Aslan recently claimed that women enjoy complete equality in Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Turkey. I responded here. Feminists, however, remained silent, as is generally the case whenever they have an opportunity to stand against the oppression of women in Muslim countries. But now Aki Muthali, a feminist writer, has taken this barely literate charlatan […]
