Vatican officially recognizes the “State of Palestine”
MAY 13, 2015 10:01 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER2 COMMENTS
There is no “State of Palestine” at this time. This is part of the ongoing pressure upon Israel to create one. Creating one will be a great victory for the global jihad force, as a “State of Palestine” will inevitably be a new jihad base for renewed attacks against what remains of Israel. Events will […]

Islamic State in Nigeria targets Catholics: 100,000 homeless
MAY 13, 2015 8:40 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS
One might think that this ongoing persecution would be a worthy topic of discussion in the Church in America. One would be wrong. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is so committed to “dialogue” with Muslims that it is willing to gloss over uncomfortable truths in pursuit of that dialogue: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists […]

NSA chief: Islamic State’s ideology “increasingly resonating” with Muslims in US
MAY 13, 2015 7:27 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
The U.S. government’s official position is that the Islamic State’s ideology has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, and that the Muslims who join it know and care little or nothing about their religion, and that the overwhelming majority of Musims reject and are repulsed by its understanding and practice of Islam. And now Mike […]

CNN: “Star Wars” is more Islamic than the Islamic State
MAY 12, 2015 6:03 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER41 COMMENTS
I was all set to take out more garbage — i.e., answer still more media lies and distortions, but in this piece, “‘Star Wars’ or ISIS: Which is more Islamic?,” (CNN, May 12, 2015), author H. A. Hellyer, a non-resident fellow at the Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World at the Qatar-funded Brookings […]

Duke Prof Bruce Lawrence: Pamela Geller a “free speech jihadi”
MAY 12, 2015 5:20 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER69 COMMENTS
Let’s be clear on who we’re dealing with here. Bruce Lawrence is emeritus professor of Islamic studies at Duke University. In 2013 he was reported as saying that Islam “has no connection with terrorism and the propaganda of the forces which are trying to link Islam with terrorism is baseless.” In 2005, he said that […]

Jeffrey Tayler in Salon: “The left has Islam all wrong”
MAY 13, 2015 9:28 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER4 COMMENTS
It’s an ongoing puzzle: Salon, which routinely excoriates Pamela Geller and me as “bigoted” “Islamophobes,” even more frequently allows Atlantic writer Jeffrey Tayler to tell the unpopular and unwelcome truths that Salon otherwise lambastes us for telling; see, for example, here and here. One can only speculate as to the provenance of this editorial inconsistency. […]

Pakistan: Islamic State jihadis murder 45 Ismaili Shias in jihad attack on bus
MAY 13, 2015 8:17 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER2 COMMENTS
The Ismailis provoked them by being Ismailis, you see. How dare they poke them in the eye in such a way? Didn’t they realize that their being Ismaili was offensive to these jihadists? They have no one to blame but themselves. So goes the reasoning of those who blame us for the jihad attack on […]

Canada: Jihad plotter would “explain Islam” to undercover cop
MAY 12, 2015 11:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER10 COMMENTS
How did Jahanzeb Malik get the idea that what he was doing in plotting jihad mass murder had anything to do with Islam? After all, all non-Muslim authorities assure us that jihad terror is completely distinct from Islam. Yet here is Jahanzeb Malik thinking that he can teach about Islam. The cognitive dissonance is enormous. […]

UCLA Prof Khaled Abou El Fadl Condemns ISIS, But Does He Condemn Stealth Jihad? By Cinnamon Stillwell and Adelle Nazarian Given the apologias for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria’s (ISIS) barbarism from the ranks of Middle East studies, it was encouraging to find the University of California, Los Angeles hosting the recent lecture, […]

Brooklyn: Muslims plead guilty to aiding jihad terror group al-Shabaab
MAY 12, 2015 2:56 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER7 COMMENTS
This is the group that carried out the Westgate Mall jihad massacre and the recent jihad massacre at Garissa University College in Kenya. How many more supporters does this group have in the U.S.? Is anyone trying to find out the answer to that question, or would that be “Islamophobic”? “Somali natives plead guilty to […]
