Robert Spencer in the Daily Caller: Is The Islamic State Islamic? Of Course It Is
In the Daily Caller today I discuss the ongoing and stupid controversy over whether or not the Islamic State is Islamic. Is the Islamic State (ISIS) Islamic?

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Glenn Beck to NRA: It’s Norquist or Me
Finally, someone stands up and says what needed to be said years ago. My piece in FrontPage today: Glenn Beck has declared that he will leave the National Rifle Association (NRA) if Republican Party kingmaker Grover Norquist remains on the Board of Directors. This is long overdue: it has now been over eleven years since […]
UK: Three Muslim teens arrested on way to join Islamic State
Not that this has anything to do with Islam. But that leads to the question: if the Islamic State really has nothing to do with Islam, why does it have this unprecedented appeal among young Muslims in the West?

Feeding Christians Propaganda Against Jews by Christine Williams Sabeel Ecumenical Liberal Theology Center states that its mission is to support the “oppressed” Palestinians of the “indigenous Church,” but it is a main artery of anti-Israel propaganda that feeds Christian Churches globally.

South Africa: Muslim students demand that Jewish students be expelled from university
The Durban University of Technology’s Student Representative Council issued a statement referring to Israel as an “apartheid state.” This is the antisemitic poison that is found on university campuses all over the world these days.

Islamic State quotes Qur’an in vow to blow up White House, conquer Rome and Spain
“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” That’s Qur’an 9:111, the justification for suicide attacks.

1,400 British non-Muslim children were gang-raped and brutalized by Muslims in one city alone, and “several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.” And here we see police bosses telling officers not to […]

Toronto Star: Mainstream Islam must do more to prevent extremist violence
Dow Marmur is rabbi emeritus at Toronto’s Holy Blossom Temple. In this column he repeats a sentiment that non-Muslims have expressed many, many times before.
