Swedish bishop wants to remove crosses from church and mark direction of Mecca to make it more inviting for Muslims
By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 07:10 pm

How wonderful and generous and ecumenical and multicultural this is. Watch for mosques everywhere to remove their mihrabs and install crosses so that Christians will feel comfortable praying there. This is what a society and culture in the midst of suicide looks like. “Bishop wants to remove Christian symbols in the Seamen’s Church,” translated from […]

Carson calls for revocation of Hamas-linked terror organization CAIR’s tax-exempt status
By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 06:50 pm

They demanded he drop out of the race. They’re a 501c3 organization, and such organizations are not supposed to intervene in campaigns either on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate. Clearly the gang of thugs at Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, is in violation of the law […]

Nigeria: “Boko Haram marked me for death because I converted to Christianity”
By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 06:40 pm

What about the fears of non-Muslims over jihad terrorism and the frequent Islamic supremacist boasts of imminent conquest? The good archbishop doesn’t seem to have addressed that, for some odd reason. “Archbishop of Canterbury Urges More Interfaith Dialogue To Ease Fears Of Muslim Community,” by Donna Rachel Edmunds, Breitbart News, October 4, 2015 (thanks to […]

Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid slanders Ben Carson, lies about Islam
By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 04:46 pm

Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid is, as Pamela Geller calls him, “a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy.” He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 12:16 pm

“He was very cruel with me, as if he wasn’t my son. He said I’m an infidel and don’t fear God, and that I legislate against Islam in parliament. My efforts to get him back failed.” “O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred […]

By Robert Spencer on Oct 04, 2015 11:19 am

“New South Wales state police said the mosque in the western Sydney suburb of Parramatta – close to the scene of the double shooting on Friday afternoon – was raided with the consent of religious leaders.” Do police obtain the consent of drug kingpins before raiding drug dens?

“The government has largely failed to stop more than 250 Americans who have traveled overseas to join or tried to join terrorist groups, including the Islamic State group, a new congressional study concluded on Tuesday.” Why was it the government’s responsibility? Why isn’t it the responsibility of Muslim communities in the U.S.? Why does not […]
