U of Minnesota: Muslims enraged at Charlie Hebdo poster for free speech forum

U of Minnesota: Muslims enraged at Charlie Hebdo poster for free speech forum
The question is clear: are Americans going to stand for the freedom of speech and tell these offended Muslims that they’re just going to have to put up with being offended, as the rest of us do, or are we going to place cartoons of Muhammad off-limits, thereby submitting ourselves to Sharia blasphemy laws? “Poster […]

Feds overlooked Texas jihadi because “there are so many like him”
“There are so many like him that you have to prioritize your investigations.” But…but…it’s a tiny minority of extremists! “Texas Attacker Left Trail of Extremist Ideas on Twitter,” by Scott Shane, New York Times, May 5, 2015: WASHINGTON — Counterterrorism officials on Tuesday were studying the electronic trails left by two men killed by a […]

Robert Spencer in PJM: PEN members forget purpose of free speech

Robert Spencer in PJM: PEN members forget purpose of free speech
Over at PJM I discuss the strange spectacle of many members of PEN, which was founded to defend the freedom of speech, lining up in favor of Sharia censorship and submitting to violent intimidation: With every passing day I feel more like Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski: I feel like opening my office window […]

“Freedom of speech for criticizing Islam? There’s apparently no room for that in America.”
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 11:40 am

“Freedom of speech for criticizing Islam? There’s apparently no room for that in America.”
Brent Bozell articulately skewers the hypocrisy and cowardice of both the Left and the Right in regard to the defense of the freedom of speech. “‘Hate Group’ Blamed for ISIS Attack,” by Brent Bozell, May 6, 2015: Liberals claim to be the world’s boldest defenders of freedom of expression, which is, of course, nonsense. Here’s […]

Islamic State opens 5-star resort in Iraq
Hey, this is perfect timing! Now Bill O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Alisyn Camerota, Greta van Susteren and all the others who have been denouncing our “provocative” free speech contest in Garland, Texas can travel over to the Islamic State and defuse the volatile situation we have created by assuring the caliph (if he is still alive) […]

Islamic State claims Texas jihad attack: “What’s coming will be even worse”
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 08:08 am

Islamic State claims Texas jihad attack: “What’s coming will be even worse”
If only we hadn’t “provoked” them, right? Then they would all be studying computer science and chemical engineering and preparing to become the leaders of tomorrow. Note the description of the United States as “the defender of the cross.” Christianity offends them, people — better start converting to Islam now. You wouldn’t want to “provoke” […]

WSJ falsely claims AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin goes into hiding

WSJ falsely claims AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin goes into hiding
UPDATE: Bosch Fawstin wrote this on Twitter: “Despite a Dishonest Wall Street Journal headline story saying I’ve gone into hiding b/c I’ve gotten death threats, I’ve Not gone into hiding” What I wrote in the original post below about the craven capitulation of the media is only underscored by this. The headline above has been […]

Islamic State on Pamela Geller: “We will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter”
By Robert Spencer on May 06, 2015 06:48 am

Islamic State on Pamela Geller: “We will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter”
The media continues to excoriate Pamela Geller for daring to “provoke” the poor jihadis, as if the two Muslim gunmen who showed up at our AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest would have become fiercely patriotic stockbrokers if only we hadn’t shown those cartoons. It is therefore clear that if, God forbid, anything […]
