By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 05:28 pm

It’s likely that what the ever-clueless Daily Mail, the worst paper in the Western world, means by “burka” is actually a niqab, as the latter are far more common in Britain and are often referred to as burkas by people who don’t know one from the other.

By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 01:58 pm

Where did Mohammed Dauhoo get the idea that this was acceptable behavior? Could it have been from the accounts of the life of the man for whom he was named, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam? Few things are more abundantly attested in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad’s […]

By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 01:46 pm

“Sentencing Alanezy, Mr Justice Gilbart said there was no excuse for the attack but people had to take responsibility for their safety when on nights out.” This is indeed so, since the British government has filled the country with young Muslims such as Yaqoob Alanezy.

By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 01:09 pm

“The disgraceful stance came to light when a member of the public complained about death threats posted to an online forum which called for homosexuals to be ‘burned, decapitated and slaughtered.'” Yet this “anti-discrimination watchdog” refused to pursue the case, writing: “The remarks must be seen in the context of religious beliefs in Islam, which […]

Germany: Muslim group sets up Islam information stand at Christmas market
By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 12:29 pm

Ahmadiyya Muslims are peaceful but its spokesmen are often some of the most arrogant, mean-spirited, and obnoxious of all Muslim spokesmen — and that’s a field crowded with imperious and condescending individuals: think Qasim Rashid, Harris Zafar, and Kashif Chaudhry. Here in Rüdesheim they arrogantly intruded upon a Christmas market, setting up an information booth […]

“Kiemunki requested a police investigation to quell claims that a blog post she wrote claiming that all Muslims are terrorists was racist.

By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 10:46 am

No disciplinary action will be taken against Samiya Butt. To take any action would be “Islamophobic” and incompatible with British values. “‘CONFLICT OF INTEREST’ Woman who works for Government’s counter-terrorism unit posts backing for extremists online,” by Ben Lazarus, The Sun, November 27, 2016 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): A WOMAN who works for the […]

Tunisian President: “Tunisia is determined to prove that Islam is not incompatible with democracy”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 10:31 am

This will be a tall order, given that the only stable, functioning democracy that has ever existed in a majority-Muslim country was in Turkey, and that one was founded as a direct and explicit rejection of political Islam, and is being slowly and steadily dismantled by an authoritarian ruler who believes in political Islam. So […]

European Commission top dog: “We must distinguish between Islam and terrorism”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 03, 2016 10:09 am

Great idea! Now if we can just convince the terrorists themselves to do this. “No religion would do that,” the soldier said, pointing to the badly vandalised church. “They’re terrorists.” Why virtually everyone feels the need to cover for and burnish the image of Islam remains unexplained, but superficially this soldier, and Ján Figeľ, seem […]
