Palestinian Authority: Jerusalem Wine Festival “an affront to Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 03:39 pm

The principle is always and everywhere the same: when you’re in a Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And when you’re in a non-Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. “Jerusalem Wine Festival – ‘An affront to Islam,'” by Dalit Halevy, Arutz Sheva, August 31, 2016: […]

Kerry: Jihadis “define a great religion Islam in a way that doesn’t reflect that religion. They steal it, hijack it.”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 03:14 pm

Kerry repeats this yet again without explaining it. In reality, the Islamic State’s beheadings (47:4), sex slavery (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30), subjugation of Christians (9:29), global imperative (8:39) and more are all based upon the Qur’an. Indeed, everything the Islamic State does is scrupulously based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. But Kerry doesn’t feel […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 03:02 pm

Iran has little time left to trample on Obama. How far will they go? My latest in PJ Media: Last week, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sent four vessels to “harass” a U.S. warship near the Strait of Hormuz.

Islamic State names Pope “enemy number one” for being a “non-believer”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 02:36 pm

What a shame that these two, who should be such good friends, have fallen out. The Pope should travel to Raqqa now, open up the Qur’an, and explain to the caliph and other Islamic State leaders how they are misunderstanding the peaceful religion of Islam. Then they can begin a harmonious “dialogue,” and peace will […]

French mayor vows to continue burkini ban: “If you don’t want to live the way we do, don’t come”
By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 01:04 pm

The Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, says this is an “inflammatory statement.” What is inflammatory about it, exactly? The West should admit large numbers of people who don’t want to live the way we do? Should the Saudis do that as well — admit large numbers of people who have no […]

UK Christian clergy told not to wear clerical collars in public for fear of ISIS jihad attack
By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 12:28 pm

Much of the UK’s Christian clergy, as well as its government, can stand up and take a bow for this one. It was they who implemented and applauded immigration policies that make it easy for Islamic State jihadis to get into Britain. It was they who stigmatized opposition to mass Muslim migration as racism, bigotry […]

By Robert Spencer on Aug 31, 2016 08:49 am

Authorities remain spectacularly incurious about how this convert to Islam, and so many other converts, got the idea that his new religion commanded him to commit treason and murder. “FBI: Detroit suspect fantasized about deadly attacks,” by Robert Snell, The Detroit News, August 29, 2016: Detroit — An American Muslim who allegedly bought illegal grenades […]
