Algerian Muslim leader: Turn all churches into mosques
MAY 14, 2015 10:43 AM BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM4 COMMENTS
According to Abdel Fattah Zarawi, the Muslim leader of the Salafi party, also known as the Free Front of Algeria, any and all Christian churches remaining in the north African nation must be closed and reopened as mosques. Although the closure, destruction, or transformation of Christian churches into mosques is nearly as old as Islam […]

Islamic State deputy possibly killed in strike on mosque that US denies happened
MAY 14, 2015 9:09 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER8 COMMENTS
The Iraq ministry of defense says Abu Alaa al-Afari was killed while at a mosque. The U.S. denies having struck a mosque. And “there have been many previous announcements from Baghdad during its long struggle against the Islamist militants which have not been subsequently borne out.” Also, the Iraqis say that the top man, the […]

Afghanistan: Taliban gunmen murder seven anti-Taliban Muslim clerics
MAY 13, 2015 11:39 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER6 COMMENTS
These clerics provoked them, you see. They were needlessly provocative. They should have just gone along with what the Taliban wanted. Didn’t they realize that they were offending the Taliban? How offensive! “Gunmen kill seven in attack on Muslim council in Afghan south: police,” Reuters, May 13, 2015: LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Gunmen opened […]

Pamela Geller “following in the steps of those Sons of Liberty in the Boston Tea Party of 1773″
MAY 13, 2015 10:29 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER13 COMMENTS
Brilliant piece, and no doubt provocative to the cowards who control the public discourse today — not that they will do anything but heap more opprobrium upon Pamela Geller and others who are fighting to defend freedom. Those who say “Yours was a gratuitous event that was needlessly provocative” don’t realize that Islamic supremacists are […]

Vatican officially recognizes the “State of Palestine”
MAY 13, 2015 10:01 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER139 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 […]

Raymond Ibrahim: U.S. State Dept. Invites Muslim Leaders, Denies Christians
MAY 14, 2015 10:40 AM BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM4 COMMENTS
Late on the evening of May 8, Newsmax TV announced that pressure from Americans acquainted with Sister Diana Momeka’s visa rejection has just caused the State Department to reverse its decision and permit her entry into the United States. Until then, however, she and others were barred. After inviting a number of foreign religious leaders, mostly Muslim, the U.S. […]

Italy: Muslims disrupt Catholic procession with insults and threats
MAY 13, 2015 11:55 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER77 COMMENTS
The Catholics must have provoked them. “Apparently understanding the procession to be a provocation, a group of Muslim youth from the Islamic Center began hurling verbal abuse and threats at the passing procession.” If only they weren’t so…Catholic. If only they wouldn’t stop needlessly provoking the Muslims by…not being Muslims, then things like this wouldn’t […]

Geller, Wilders, Spencer “fighting the West’s battle for freedom”
MAY 13, 2015 11:01 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER24 COMMENTS
But as those who are excoriating us for “provoking” Muslims with this contest are cowed and intimidated into total submission, they can console themselves that at least they were never “provocative.” “What Good Is Free Speech If You Can’t Speak Freely?,” by Jerry Newcombe, Christian Post, May 13, 2015: By now, gallons of ink have […]

VDH: Jihadists have “already cut a huge swath out of American free speech”
MAY 13, 2015 10:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER22 COMMENTS
“Apparently there is no longer a First Amendment as our Founders wrote it, but instead something like an Orwellian Amendment 1.5, which reads: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press — except if someone finds some […]

Jeffrey Tayler in Salon: “The left has Islam all wrong”
MAY 13, 2015 9:28 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER52 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. […]
