Robert Spencer in FrontPage: No No-Go Zones? Really?
JANUARY 20, 2015 9:52 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER15 COMMENTS
In FrontPage today I examine Fox News’ notorious apology, and the need for it: The Leftist media and Islamic supremacist groups have been doing a victory dance ever since Saturday night, when Fox News issued an apology for statements made on the air by terror expert Steve Emerson and others about Muslim no-go zones in Britain and […]

Germany: Soap brand withdrawn for being insulting to Muslims
JANUARY 20, 2015 5:20 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER42 COMMENTS
You might have expected the soap bottle to feature a Muhammad cartoon, but no. The soap is called 1001 Nights, and “the packaging, which Aldi said was intended to evoke the exotic Orient, depicted a Turkish-style mosque with dome and minarets, together with a lantern and a set of prayer beads.” So what, you ask? […]

42% of French believe media shouldn’t publish Muhammad cartoons
JANUARY 19, 2015 11:16 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER59 COMMENTS
This is an odd article, since it leads off with “a French newspaper shows that the majority of the country’s citizens are in favor of greater limitations on freedom of speech,” but then says that 42% of French citizens believe that newspapers should publish cartoons of Muhammad, and 50% believe in limits on free speech. […]

UK jihadi linked to Paris jihad murderers can’t be deported because he “has right to family life”
JANUARY 19, 2015 3:54 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER62 COMMENTS
Shattered, supine Britain is extremely solicitous of the human rights of jihadis like Baghdad Meziane, who would murder thousands of British non-Muslims if he could. British authorities are far tougher on counter-jihadis, whom they have moved energetically to demonize and drive out of the public discourse. And so the British political and media elites will […]

Pamela Geller: Charlie Hebdo Butchery Motivated Dallas Protest
JANUARY 19, 2015 2:01 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER9 COMMENTS
Here is a terrific piece about the AFDI Free Speech Rally in Garland, Texas last Saturday. Merrill Hope writes: “The grassroots came out en masse to rally with American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) president Pamela Geller, who spoke on behalf of free speech.” There is an increasingly yawning gap between the people and our “representatives.” […]

Chechnya: 800,000 Muslims protest Muhammad cartoons; protests also in Iran, Pakistan, Ingushetia, elsewhere
JANUARY 20, 2015 9:41 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER10 COMMENTS
They’re not protesting against the murder of twelve cartoonists for the crime of drawing Muhammad. They’re protesting against the cartoons. And these protests are growing worldwide. If the mainstream narrative about Islam were true, we would at least see some Muslim demonstrations somewhere against the murder of the cartoonists. There have been none. But the […]

Niger: Muslim mobs torch 45 churches in Muhammad cartoon riots
JANUARY 20, 2015 12:41 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER39 COMMENTS
Where are the Muslims not just condemning this, but developing and instituting programs in mosques and Islamic schools to teach against the beliefs and assumptions that give rise to it? Certainly non-Muslims aren’t doing anything to call them to account — remember: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally […]

The visual portion of this video is a bit subpar, but the audio is very good, and so far this is the only video of the speech that I gave that has surfaced. I speak starting at the 8:44 mark. Alternate video of Pamela Geller’s speech can be found here. This video thanks to Kymberly.

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 5 New Signs that the Jihad Against the West Is Just Getting Warmed Up
JANUARY 19, 2015 3:01 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER26 COMMENTS
In PJ Media I discuss some signs that the jihad against the West is just getting started: In a new video, an Islamic State jihadi proclaims: I say to all French people who think that the Islamic State won’t arrive in Europe, with God’s help, we will arrive in Europe. We will expand across all […]

UK plea to imams to fight “extremism” draws charge of “Islamophobia”
JANUARY 19, 2015 1:27 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER63 COMMENTS
It is painfully obvious that all too many Muslims in the United Kingdom believe that Islam has nothing to do with “British identity.” They have no interest in “British identity.” They consider themselves part of the umma, the worldwide Muslim community, and that is the only earthly entity to which they owe allegiance. This has […]
