FEBRUARY 23, 2015 10:19 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER36 COMMENTS
Hey, everyone knows that jihadis just need jobs, and then the peaceful, noble souls will lay down their Kalashnikovs and pick up their burger flippers, and these “immigrant resettlement assistants” were getting Muslims jobs — so what’s the big deal? So the job was as a warrior for the Islamic State — details, details! “Sweden’s […]

FEBRUARY 23, 2015 9:38 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER21 COMMENTS
“‘This case demonstrates the need for vigilance and swift action to counter the false allure of violent extremism,’ U.S. Attorney Stephanie Yonekura said in a statement.” That allure will continue, however, since American authorities are determined to ignore and deny what makes it so alluring in the first place, rather than be honest about it […]

So what are they going to do now? What if they decide to wage jihad in France, since they’re being prevented from waging it in the Islamic State? “France bans six from travel to join ISIS,” Al Arabiya, February 23, 2015: French authorities confiscated the passports of six individuals to prevent them from travelling to […]

This is rich: a Swedish convert to Islam who appeared on Swedish television to warn Swedes about the dangers of “Islamophobia” is now waging jihad for the Islamic State. Who will be the first American expert on “Islamophobia” to join him? Maybe we should start a pool, with the person who picks the winning name, […]

Islamic State attacks Christian villages, captures dozens, burns churches
FEBRUARY 23, 2015 10:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER24 COMMENTS
Many people invoke the destruction of churches by the Islamic State as evidence that it is not Islamic, as the Qur’an appears to forbid such activity: “Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory. [They are] those who […]

Saudi Arabia: Man sentenced to death for insulting Islam, ripping Qur’an
FEBRUARY 23, 2015 9:22 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER32 COMMENTS
In the enlightened West, we don’t have blasphemy laws. If someone expresses what Leftists and Islamic supremacists think of as insulting Islam here, the only thing that happens is that you’re excoriated as a racist and bigot, and shunned by all decent folk. Clearly a much more progressive way of doing things. Anyway, will any […]

UPDATE: I’ve been informed that Murray Watson has left the priesthood. (Thanks to Richard) ———- It’s Salon, and so of course it’s saying that the Qur’an is not the problem. Whenever there is a story in the mainstream media about the Qur’an or Islam, you can be sure that it will be assuring us that […]

Al-Azhar Sheikh who justifies Qur’anic anti-Semitism calls for Islamic reform
FEBRUARY 23, 2015 4:27 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER18 COMMENTS
Al-Tayeb’s call for reform here is not genuine. He has shown himself over the years to be a doctrinaire literalist: he has justified anti-Semitism on Qur’anic grounds; called for the Islamic State murderers of the Jordanian pilot to be crucified or have their hands and feet amputated on opposite sides (as per the penalty in […]
