US Muslim: “Cursed secular laws are worse than the laws of Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 10:31 pm

This is not just a view that Muslims who try to join the Islamic State hold. It is much more mainstream than that. But one wonders — where did this convert to Islam learn this in Wisconsin? Was he “radicalized on the Internet” — the all-purpose phrase that government and law enforcement officials use to […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 10:02 pm

Yazidi women bought back from Islamic State after being raped in public and sold to jihadis
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 05:46 pm

According to Islamic law, Muslim men can take “captives of the right hand” (Qur’an 4:3, 4:24, 33:50). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of […]

Escapee from Yarmouk says he saw Islamic State jihadis “playing with a severed head as if it was a football”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 02:45 pm

This casual, even gleeful, barbarity is likely calculated to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “‘I saw ISIS playing with a severed head as if it was a football. They killed children in front of their parents': Refugees in Yarmouk reveal atrocities they have seen since Islamic State took […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Boston Marathon jihadi shows wrongheadedness of Obama’s counterterror strategy
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 01:43 pm

In FrontPage today is my take on the Boston Marathon jihad massacre verdict: The guilty verdict came as no surprise to anyone, least of all Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s defense attorney, Judy Clarke, who told the court last month, “It was him.” Tsarnaev could now face the death penalty, and it would be richly deserved, given the […]

Wisconsin Muslim arrested at airport for trying to join the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 11:13 am

Joshua Van Haften is a convicted sex offender and apparently another convert to Islam who misunderstands his new, peaceful religion. Yet nary a mosque in the U.S. has any program to keep converts and other Muslims from getting the idea that Islam commands its adherents to wage war against unbelievers. Now, why is that? “Madison […]

Boston Marathon jihad murderer’s mom: “Americans are terrorists, my son is the best”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 09, 2015 09:42 am

Imagine praising a son who murdered people, including an eight-year-old boy in a horrific manner, for the crime of being American and watching a footrace. But this reaction is not surprising. Islamic supremacists always blame their victims. They never bear any responsibility for any of the atrocities they commit. It is always the Infidel’s fault. […]

By Raymond Ibrahim on Apr 09, 2015 08:26 am

As millions of Christians around the world were celebrating Easter Sunday, the Christians of the Muslim world were again under attack.  The April 2 Islamic jihad attack on a Kenyan school—where the Islamic murderers made sure to slaughter only Christian students, sparing fellow Muslims—was only the most spectacular attack. On Easter Sunday itself, as some […]
