Won’t you take me to…Hymietown?

By

After Hamas-linked CAIR has enlisted that noted apostle of sensitivity and mutual respect, Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson, in its latest (and most frenzied) smear campaign against me, Roger L. Simon and Andrew C. McCarthy weigh in: From “Real Blog War: CAIR Goes After Robert Spencer,” by Roger L. Simon at Pajamas Media, August 9: Actually, I […]

Spencer: Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero not a religious freedom issue

By

In Human Events this morning I explain why the Ground Zero mega-mosque has nothing to do with religious freedom: After the New York City Landmarks Commission voted unanimously last Tuesday to deny landmark status to 45 Park Place, thus clearing the way for the construction of an Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, New York […]

Spencer: Closed for Business

By

In FrontPage this morning I discuss the closing of the 9/11 mosque in Hamburg, and the prospective opening of the 9/11 mosque in New York: On Monday, authorities in Hamburg, Germany announced that they had finally shut down the Taiba mosque, which as the Al-Quds mosque in 2001 was a meeting place for several of […]

Somalia: Islamic supremacist group bans three Christian aid agencies

By

Islamic spokesmen in the West routinely assure us that Islam doesn’t restrict religious freedom or the freedom of conscience — and that would include proselytizing. Yet Islamic groups in Muslim countries constantly seem to Misunderstand Islam in this way. Islamic Tolerance Alert from Somalia: “Somali militant group bans 3 aid agencies,” from AP, August 9 […]

NYC Gubernatorial hopeful Lazio: Now that we know Con Ed owns part of the site, let’s pull the plug on the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero

By

This is simple common sense, since the mosque developers have once again been shown to be operating under false pretenses. But common sense has, of course, been in short supply lately among New York politicians. “Lazio: Let’s pull plug on mosque,” by Chuck Bennett and Isabel Vincent in the New York Post, August 9: GOP […]

“The notion that the mosque controversy is a battle over religious freedom is utterly bogus”

By

“And it glosses over New Yorkers’ entirely legitimate concerns.” “Mosque nanny,” from the New York Post, August 8: […] The notion that the mosque controversy is a battle over religious freedom is utterly bogus. And it glosses over New Yorkers’ entirely legitimate concerns. Nor is there a question of whether the mosque should be forced […]

Whoops: Al-Qaeda infiltrates UK’s Muslim “anti-terror summer camp”

By

If these people can’t distinguish peaceful Muslims from potential jihadists, how can Western authorities expect to do so? And the answer, of course, is that they don’t. They aren’t even trying. We are simply supposed to accept on faith that someone like the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, for all his dishonesty, is a “moderate.” An […]

The Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero is making people talk about Islam

By

While vexing to many, the mega mosque set to be built two blocks from Ground Zero has produced one interesting but unintended consequence: like the 9/11 strikes a decade before it, the “9/11 mosque” is also creating a stir, is making people think and talk — about Islam. Consider: Before the Islamist strikes of 9/11, […]

Muslim couple from UK gunned down in Pakistan in honor killing

By

A different twist in this one: the prospective in-laws and their son were murdered. “British couple gunned down in Pakistan in suspected honour killing after calling off marriage,” from the Daily Mail, August 9 (thanks to all who sent this in): A British couple who flew to Pakistan to settle a row over their daughter’s […]
