In Human Events today I ask why we aren’t hearing anything from the mainstream media about Molly Norris: It should be front-page news in every newspaper in the country: Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris has given up her job, her home, and even her identity because of death threats for Islamic supremacists. That Islamic jihadists can […]

Spencer: Truth On Trial
In FrontPage today I discuss the Wilders trial: How imperiled is the freedom of speech? Take this passage from Slate magazine: “In 2004, filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered after making anti-Muslim remarks, as was the anti-immigrant politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002. Why is there so much anti-Muslim rhetoric in the Netherlands?” If Slate flipped […]
New Jersey Muslim who worked in nuke plants spoke openly of jihad warfare
Why didn’t he get fired? Investigated? Arrested? Well, what’s to be concerned about a harmless Misunderstander of Islam working in a nuclear plant? “Worker Spoke of Jihad, Agency Says,” by Scott Shane in the New York Times, October 4: WASHINGTON — A New Jersey man accused of joining Al Qaeda in Yemen spoke openly of […]
Why is Reza Aslan taken seriously?
Reza Aslan is a Muslim writer who has been shown to play fast and loose with the facts before. On ABC’s “This Week” this past Sunday, a pointless exercise in whitewashing jihad from which most of what I said was edited out, Aslan said to me, “No one is taking you seriously.” Well, heavens to […]
Daisy Khan claims to have been threatened — why the double standard?
“Robert Spencer has his right to speech. But someday he will slip up, he will visit a place that doesn’t honor such infidel ‘rights.’ And what a day they will have with him. You’ve heard of head cheese and blood pudding? See, modern hip Muslims like me like to be look different than everybody else […]
U.K.’s Telegraph: “Geert Wilders’ trial suspended after he attacks judge!” Wait… what?
The Telegraph is usually better than this, and does a great deal of useful reporting on stories related to the Islamization of Britain. But the choice of words to describe Wilders’ demand that a biased judge be replaced is so very ironic here, considering that his own life is in danger over words and a […]
Abject failure: Group inspecting private religious schools “to ensure they prepare pupils for life in modern Britain” approved of schools mandating niqab for preteen girls
“All three schools have been approved by education watchdog Ofsted, which inspects private faith schools to ensure they prepare pupils for life in modern Britain and ‘promote tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions’.” But, of course. The burden of “tolerance and harmony” is never to be evenly shared, nor efforts reciprocated. British society is […]
Indonesia: Message of Islamic supremacist hatred survives premature detonation of bicycle bomb targeting police
“This action is certainly retaliation for our enemies–the allies of Satan–who brutally murdered and executed our mujahidin brothers and put them into the hands of police. We are mentally and spiritually prepared to defend our holy religion. This holy bomb blast is intentionally designed to kill you–all infidels. We will hunt you down, even if […]
Drone strike on Pakistani frontier targets eight German-based members of “Jihad al-Islami”
They were looking to “slay and be slain in the cause of Allah” for the promise of that never-ending Oktoberfest in the sky (Qur’an 9:111), but wound up having to skip over the first part. In all seriousness, though, this report only underscores the severity and depth of the threat currently facing Europe, wherein the […]
German-based cell in latest European jihad plot recruited from same Hamburg mosque where 9/11 plotters met
The Taiba mosque was just the “gift” that kept on giving. Not in the English sense of the word, but the German meaning: “poison,” freely functioning for far too long as a center (a mecca, if you will) of jihadist indoctrination and planning. Where were moderate Muslims to challenge its toxic influence on their Religion […]
