FEBRUARY 25, 2015 10:27 AM BY ROBERT SPENCERLEAVE A COMMENT
This was the third time the exhibit was closed. Organizers are persistent, however, and are searching for a different venue. Step back for a moment and remember: these are just cartoons. The world continues to bow to violent intimidation, which only ensures that it will get more violent intimidation. Show that you will not submit: […]

Ohio: Muslim charged with aiding jihadis, laundering money for jihad
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 7:29 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER8 COMMENTS
Yet another misunderstander of Islam in the U.S. I trust that Qasim Rashid is on his way to Columbus as we speak, so as to explain to Abdirahman S. Mohamud (who has developed such an admirable zebiba in service of Nothing To Do With Islam) that the U.S. Constitution is the most Sharia-compliant Constitution on earth, […]

How is it that the Islamic State has propagandists among Muslims in Spain at all? How is it that this entity that has nothing to do with Islam continually proves itself to be so popular among…Muslims? “Spain Breaks Up ISIS Recruitment Ring Targeting Young Women,” by Dan Kedmey, Time, February 24, 2015: Spain has detained […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Why Obama Won’t Call the Jihadis Islamic
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 2:23 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER69 COMMENTS
An attempt to explain the mystery, over at FrontPage: Barack Obama aroused controversy over his affinity with Islam yet again in February 2015, when a photo surfaced from the U.S.-African Leaders’ Summit in August 2014, showing Obama passing by a group of African delegates with his right index finger raised in a gesture strongly reminiscent […]

Islamic State kidnaps at least 90 people from Christian villages in Syria
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 12:44 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER50 COMMENTS
Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or enslaving them, as well as killing them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them […]

Kerry: Pakistan has “vigorous commitment to take on and defeat violent extremist groups”
FEBRUARY 25, 2015 9:33 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER10 COMMENTS
Joke of the Day. Kerry won’t name them and Pakistan won’t fight them. But there goes $3.4 billion more American taxpayer dollars, frittered away for smiles and promises. How much of it will end up in the hands of the Islamic jihadists Kerry is afraid to identify as such, as so much of it has […]

Daily Caller: “The U.S. Constitution is in fact the most Shariah compliant constitution on Earth”
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 7:05 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER38 COMMENTS
Once again the Daily Caller gives space to the relentlessly dishonest and viciously arrogant Ahmadi Muslim apologist Qasim Rashid to proselytize for Islam and spread disinformation about the aspects of Islam about which non-Muslims should be aware and concerned. Rashid has long and ever-growing record of spreading falsehoods and inaccuracies about Islam — and when […]

Jordan furious over Pentagon leak on secret anti-Islamic State training camp
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 4:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER19 COMMENTS
“Either the official made a mistake or is deliberately leaking information to put the administration’s plans for Syria in a better light in an attempt to defuse criticism that the administration has bungled efforts to aid Syrian rebels” — in other words, playing politics yet again instead of dealing with the jihad threat in any […]

Lebanon: Top Sunni authority files judicial complaint against satirist for defaming Islam
FEBRUARY 24, 2015 11:50 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER12 COMMENTS
Apparently mocking the Islamic State is, for these Lebanese Sunni clerics, defaming Islam — a telling admission in itself. In any case, the increasingly frequent calls for self-censorship from Barack Obama and the Leftist elites are in service of this: the enforcement of Sharia blasphemy laws. If the current regime gets its way, those laws […]
