Italy: Muslim who threatened to “roast non-believers on skewers” arrested
By Robert Spencer on Apr 25, 2017 10:40 pm

Mouner El Aoual should be taken immediately to Pope Francis, who would explain to him that true Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. How fortunate we are to have imams such as Francis to explain it all for us. Now if they could only convince the Mouner El […]

New York Times comes out for Leftist thuggery against dissenters on campus
By Robert Spencer on Apr 25, 2017 02:52 pm

The thrust of the argument here is that to shut down voices that the Leftist establishment considers odious — which includes mine, although I am not mentioned in this article (no, I am not Richard Spencer) — is aiding the oppressed to have a voice that they are usually denied. This is an argument for […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 25, 2017 11:19 am

“A main reason for the trip is to try to strengthen relations with the 1,000-year-old Azhar center that were cut by the Muslim side in 2011 over what it said were repeated insults of Islam by Francis’s predecessor, Pope Benedict.” What did Benedict say?

Sweden: Muslim rapes 14-year-old, won’t be deported, has ADHD, doesn’t understand “no”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 25, 2017 10:37 am

This is what a society committing suicide looks like. Most Swedish men by now would think it wrong to do anything about this, for it would be racist and “Islamophobic.” This Google Translate is a bit rough, but the meaning is clear enough. “Forced 14-year-old to sex-rape for rape because he has ‘suspected ADHD’ and […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 25, 2017 06:03 am

“Under Sharia law in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death.” But those in the West who call attention to the persecution of homosexuals under Islamic law are excoriated by gay rights activists as racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” Perhaps they don’t believe that things like this are really happening. Well, they are. “Iran Arrests More Than 30 […]

By Christine Williams on Apr 25, 2017 05:21 am

In a panel discussion in Toronto on the “Finality of Prophethood”, Nadvi called Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam a “false prophet” who abrogated the jihad in contradiction to an explicit hadith by Mohammad who said the the jihad will continue to the end of time.
