Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid whitewashes Muhammad’s support for torture
DECEMBER 11, 2014 12:35 PM BY ROBERT SPENCERLEAVE A COMMENT
Qasim Rashid is a relentlessly disingenuous writer. Previously he has whitewashed the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s sanction of beating disobedient women; lied about the nature of Sharia; and called […]

Qatar allows money to flow to Islamic State, other jihad terrorists
DECEMBER 11, 2014 4:29 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER11 COMMENTS
Qatar also funds the Brookings Institution, which wields enormous influence in Washington foreign policy circles — and in part explains why the foreign policy establishment is so willfully ignorant and unwilling to deal realistically or honestly with the jihad threat. “Qatar allows money to flow to ISIS, other terrorists: report,” by Guy Taylor, The Washington […]

Islamic jihadis murdered seven people every hour in November 2014
DECEMBER 11, 2014 3:15 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER10 COMMENTS
The victims were murdered by people who believed themselves to be acting in accord with the texts and teachings of Islam, at a time when Western leaders and mainstream media demand that everyone believe that this has nothing to do with Islam, and brands you a “bigot” and a “racist” if you dare think otherwise. […]

“Palestinian” superhero “Gaza Man” takes on the Jews
DECEMBER 10, 2014 4:23 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER43 COMMENTS
What a great idea. What superpowers will Gaza Man have? Maybe he can fly with Hamas’ rockets and make sure they murder the maximum number of Israeli civilians. Then he can fly (without an airplane, of course) to the UN and whine at the General Assembly about how Israel is killing “Palestinian” civilians — grabbing […]

Islamic State poaches international aid for Syrians
DECEMBER 10, 2014 3:33 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER12 COMMENTS
Aid agencies are effectively aiding the Islamic State’s jihad. It is unlikely in today’s political climate that this will cause them to reconsider the giving of the aid in the first place. “Islamic State Poaches International Aid for Syrians,” by Maria Abi-Habib, Wall Street Journal, December 10, 2014: GAZIANTEP, Turkey—Islamic State militants have been seizing […]

Biden tried to lecture Hirsi Ali about Islam
DECEMBER 11, 2014 6:14 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER58 COMMENTS
Even though Ayaan Hirsi Ali was raised a Muslim in a Muslim country, and Joe Biden has almost certainly never opened a Qur’an, Biden believed he knew more about Islam than she did. Why? Because her opinion of the religion was negative, and the possibility that such a view could have any merit whatsoever is […]

Malaysia: Islamic scholars say playing guitar and piano against Islamic law
DECEMBER 11, 2014 4:13 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER14 COMMENTS
This is why Cat Stevens gave up music when he became Yusuf Islam, although his return to music suggests that these prohibitions can be set aside for purposes of dawah. In any case, this prohibition is not limited to Malaysian Islamic scholars, as it is founded on the hadiths below. It is consistent with the […]

Was French hostage swapped for detained jihadists?
DECEMBER 10, 2014 4:42 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER9 COMMENTS
This will only encourage more hostage-taking, as jihadis will see the chance to free their imprisoned comrades in exchange for Western hostages. But the fact that a policy is foolish, wrongheaded and counterproductive has never stopped Western governments from pursuing it in the past, so why should France start now? “Dangerous trade-offs: Was French hostage […]

UK: Muslim 19-year-old charged with two terrorism offenses
DECEMBER 10, 2014 4:02 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER15 COMMENTS
A glimpse of Britain’s glorious multicultural future. If this is Syed Choudhury’s Twitter account, he is an open supporter of the Islamic State. If it is the account of some other Syed Choudhury, British officials should drop plans for their next “outreach” meeting and devote some resources to watching him very closely. Note his tagline, […]

Senate torture report is propaganda bonanza for Islamic jihadists
DECEMBER 10, 2014 3:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER48 COMMENTS
Of course. And those responsible for releasing it must have foreseen this, and allowing their desire for political gain to overwhelm any residual sense of responsibility they might still have felt to protect American citizens. “Senate Torture Report Is Propaganda Bonanza for Islamic Militants, Feds Say,” by Mike Levine, ABC News, December 9, 2014: The […]
