Hey, kids! Why just seek asylum from your virtually uninhabitable homeland when you can be the reason it’s that way? Well, there’s also the famine, but the al-Shabaab jihadists’ official position remains that the famine doesn’t exist. It’s just a tad dry out. An update on this story. “Extradited terrorist suspect appears in US court,” […]

Russian authorities arrest jihadists building fertilizer bomb in suburban apartment
And you wondered what in the world your apartment neighbors were cooking. “Russian security forces foil Islamist terror plot to bomb train,” by Alissa de Carbonnel for Reuters, August 16 (thanks to Twostellas): Russian authorities have foiled a plot by militants who were building fertiliser bombs in a suburban apartment and planning to attack a […]
Iraq: Gunmen in military uniforms pull 7 Sunnis from mosque and execute them
“The men were all members of a militia created during the height of the sectarian conflict of Sunnis who used to be aligned with al-Qaida but later turned on them.” Even if the jihadists eliminate everyone else, they’ll always have each other. Lacking an outside enemy against whom to make common cause, and a figurehead […]
Malaysia: Misunderstanders of Islam demand law against apostasy
Muslim spokesmen such as Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz assure us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy, despite Muhammad’s words, “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.” If al-Marayati, Bassiouni and Eteraz and others like them were sincere, they would be working to ensure that Malaysia enacts no anti-apostasy […]
Marxist antisemitic “antijihadist” from One Law For All responds feebly to Spencer’s rebuttal of their false charges
The Leftist dhimmi blog Harry’s Place, which dabbles dilettanishly in counter-jihad poses while seldom missing an opportunity to denigrate and defame genuine counter-jihadists, has not surprisingly signed on to the Marxist antisemite Maryam Namazie’s One Law For All hit piece on me, Pamela Geller, SIOA and SIOE. Now they have published a response from one […]
The AFDI Threats to Freedom Index
In “The AFDI Threats to Freedom Index” at Big Government, August 15, Pamela Geller unveils a new initiative that she and I have put together: a list of the organizations that represent the largest threats to freedom in America today: Freedom is more embattled in America today than ever. My group, the American Freedom Defense […]
Spencer: GOP Candidates Must Declare Opposition to Sharia
In Human Events this morning I discuss the plethora of pro-Sharia candidates and hopefuls. Can’t we have a few more pro-freedom, anti-Sharia candidates? Texas Gov. Rick Perry has set many a heart a-flutter by joining the hunt for the Republican presidential nomination, but not so fast: Hard-Left advocacy journalist Justin Elliott of Salon hailed Perry […]
West to Hamas-linked CAIR: “Nuts!”
West’s reply here recalls my own reply to Hamas-linked CAIR a few years ago when they tried to strong-arm the YAF into cancelling a speech I was giving. It is not surprising that Hamas-linked CAIR would characterize the response of the heroically defiant McAuliffe as “baseless rhetoric and schoolboy insults.” I can’t think of a […]
Iraq: Kurdish mullah says female genital mutilation is obligatory in Shafi’i Islamic jurisprudence, blames “Jewish” conspiracy against it
Is this guy some kind of Islamophobe? We have often quoted the Shafi’i jurisprudence manual Umdat al-Salik (The Reliance of the Traveler), here on many matters, including female genital mutilation, noting problems with the most common English translation. Enterprising amateur apologists have turned up in the comments section to claim that it’s just one book […]
U.S.: Pattern of bombings in Iraq “eerily similar” to last Ramadan
And a web posting praised the attacks against “Shiites, Christians, and the apostate Awakening Councils,” where apostasy is punishable by death under Islamic law according to Muhammad’s own command. Now, now. Escalation of jihadist attacks during Ramadan? War against unbelievers and apostates? There’s got to be some kind of “underlying cause” for all this. A […]
