Syria: Obama-backed rebels persecute Christians, force them from their homes
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 07:53 pm

The “moderates” are behaving a great deal like the “extremists.” No one who doesn’t buy the establishment line should be surprised, as the distinction between the two in Syria was always arbitrary. “Syrian Christians Face New Threat From Rebel Alliance,” by Alison Meuse and Deborah Amos, NPR, July 3, 2015: Syrian Christians face new threats […]

Obama: “Ideologies are not defeated with guns”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 07:15 pm

1. Yes, they are. Cf. National Socialism. 2. The United States is not trying to defeat the Islamic State, or the global jihad in general, with “a more attractive and more compelling vision.” Instead, we supervised the installations of constitutions that enshrined Sharia as the highest law of the land in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

UK: Man carries Islamic State flag by Big Ben & Houses of Parliament, police refuse to arrest him
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 06:00 pm

Remember: quoting Winston Churchill in Britain can get you arrested. But carrying around an Islamic State flag? Well, it’s illegal to support the Islamic State, but this isn’t really support, now, is it? One wonders what the bemused dhimmis who run Britain today would think actually constitutes support. In any case, remember: opposing jihad terror […]

Iceland repeals blasphemy law in view of Charlie Hebdo jihad murders
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 04:45 pm

The Pentecostal church statement complained: “Repealing existing legislation on blasphemy is tantamount to legalising hate speech.” The problem with this is that “hate speech” is not an objectively established entity about which everyone agrees.

Boston Marathon jihad murderer files motion for new trial
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 03:43 pm

He confessed to the crime. He was convicted. Why is he asking for a new trial? Has he lost his faith in the idea that Allah will reward him for his jihad, and is hoping to avoid the death penalty? Or is he hoping to tie up more of the Infidel’s time and resources in […]

Islamic State murders two men for handing out anti-Sharia leaflets
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 12:21 pm

In the U.S., opponents of Sharia oppression of women, gays, ex-Muslims and non-Muslims are not killed. They’re just excoriated as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent folk. You see, we are much more advanced and progressive than the Islamic State. “Tied to a tree and shot at nightfall: ISIS releases chilling video of […]

Nigeria: Islamic State murders 13, burns 32 churches and 300 houses
By Robert Spencer on Jul 06, 2015 08:52 am

32 churches burned in one day, and the U.S. Catholic bishops forbid discussion of why this is happening, and the extent to which it is happening, for fear of harming their self-defeating and chimerical “dialogue” with Muslim leaders. As long as they maintain this suicidal gag order, they bear partial responsibility for jihad attacks such […]
