Ethiopia jails 18 Muslims for plotting to create an Islamic state in the country
By Robert Spencer on Aug 05, 2015 03:51 am

The Muslims who have been convicted are claiming that it was all unjust, a “kangaroo court,” that the government was railroading them for decrying its interference in religious matters. In other words, they are claiming victim status. What a new, bold, original strategy. “Ethiopia jails 18 Muslims over alleged terror,” Associated Press, August 3, 2015: […]

CAIR-linked Hamas demands jihad suicide attacks against Jews
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 03:26 pm

This call follows the same pattern that jihadis always follow: point to an atrocity (real or wildly exaggerated or fabricated outright) and claim that jihad is needed so as to exact revenge. The poor jihadis never start a fight with anyone, you see, because of the absence of the caliphate: only the caliph, according to […]

Malaysian mufti: “Islam is based on faith…Don’t make any remarks based on the intellect or logic”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 10:52 am

All religions are based on faith, but Islam is more actively opposed to the intellect and reason than the others. Contrast, for example, these two statements, the first from Christianity’s holy book, and the second from Islam’s: “Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope […]

Khamenei adviser: Inspectors’ “entry into our military sites is absolutely forbidden”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 10:25 am

The Iran deal is an unmitigated disaster. Not only does it allow Iran to proceed with its nuclear program, but by the removal of economic sanctions, it finances that program. Obama has betrayed and endangered the entire free world. That is and will remain his true legacy. Note also Velayati’s threat to Israel, that key […]

DHS warns: Jihadis could target airports, sensitive sites with drones
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 10:04 am

Not that the DHS called them “jihadis,” of course. The DHS appears to be very up on this threat from drones, but about who is operating them and why, and what their motives and goals are, they are completely in the dark, and willfully so. Consequently they will never be able to come up with […]

Muslim cleric: Jews paid doctors to “create and spread diseases”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 09:33 am

The idea that the Jews would scheme in this way is founded upon the Qur’an: “And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers.” (3:54) “Jews paid doctors to ‘create and spread diseases’ according to Islamic lesson in Al-Aqsa Mosque,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August […]

Sweden: 30 grenade attacks in 6 months in Muslim-dominated Malmö
By Nicolai Sennels on Aug 04, 2015 08:52 am

While the Swedish elite celebrates itself by calling the former Viking land a “humanitarian superpower” for letting in hundreds of thousands of Muslims within a handful of years, the country is falling apart. Recently there were four grenade explosions in Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city and famous for its high percentage of Muslim citizens, in […]

Islam: Fastest Shrinking Religion in the World (Part 3)
By Ibn Warraq on Aug 04, 2015 05:43 am

PART THREE: APOSTASY IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES. The very notion of apostasy has vanished from the West, where one would talk of being a lapsed Catholic or non-practising Christian rather than an apostate. There are certainly no penal sanctions for converting from Christianity to any other religion. In Islamic countries, on the other hand, the issue […]

DHS chief: Don’t call it “Islamic extremism,” it has nothing to do with Islam
By Robert Spencer on Aug 04, 2015 05:18 am

Johnson has said this before, on more than one occasion. And despite manifesting an abysmal ignorance of the contents of the Qur’an, Johnson claims to have read it, and that it reminds him of quintessential American values. More proof that he hasn’t really read it. Graham’s point is excellent: “Even more disturbing (and once again, […]
