But remember: to examine the murderous ideology that inspires such attacks would be “Islamophobic.” “Nine killed in attack on mosque,” from AFP, August 9: Pakistan’s troubled south-western city of Quetta, focus of a surge in sectarian bloodshed, was hit by its second attack in two days as gunmen shot dead at least nine people outside […]

Utah: Self-described “Islamist jihadist” who threatened Mormons and Catholics arrested
He was arrested for drug possession, and apparently not for the threats. It isn’t even clear that he is a Muslim, given his use of the word “Islamist,” which Muslims don’t commonly use. He may be someone who admires the violence that jihadists perpetrate and wants to emulate it, or to think of himself as […]
France deports Tunisian Muslim for threatening reporters
How odd. It’s hard to imagine what this “36-year-old from a Paris suburb” could have had against reporters, since most mainstream media reporters are eager to downplay and obfuscate news of Islamic jihad activity, and to smear and defame those working against jihad violence and Islamic supremacism. Perhaps Niraj Warikoo and Patricia Montemurri of the […]
Syria: Muslims kidnap Christian priest who was negotiating for release of other hostages
Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or killing them, as well as enslaving them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: “As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them […]
Jammu and Kashmir: Armed Muslim mob of 20,000 attacks Hindus, burns Hindu shops and homes
The attacks began right after Eid prayers. The police came late, and did little or nothing to rein in the mob. Here is a press release from VHP International Working President Dr Pravin Togadia, “J&K Kishtwad Hindus Must get Justice, 1990 will not be allowed to repeat: Says VHP,” slightly edited for clarity, from Sanghmarg, […]
Robert Spencer to debate two Muslim leaders today, Leftists and Islamic supremacists in fury over failure to shut down event
At last, a relatively even-handed news story about my notorious appearance at a conference where I will debate two Muslims today. The Catholic News Agency puts the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News to shame. “Catholic radio host defends Islamic scholar’s debate choice,” from the Catholic News Agency, August 9: Ypsilanti, Mich., Aug 9, […]
Jihad group releases video to recruit Muslims in Minnesota for jihad in Somalia
“This is the real Disneyland. You need to come here and join us!” “FBI: Al-Shabaab Released Video To Recruit Minn. Men For Jihad,” by Bill Hudson for CBS Minnesota, August 8 (thanks to all who sent this in): MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — It’s well documented that foreign terror groups have been working to bring in new […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood says that its protests are peaceful — but evidence mounting of torture and weaponry at its Cairo sit-ins
What a surprise. “Egypt’s Islamists Turn Violent,” by Bel Trew in Foreign Policy, August 8: “They stamped on his face,” said his cousin, Aly al-Masry, 20, who told Sabet’s story from his bedside as he drifted in and out of consciousness. “He has three stab wounds, a bullet hole through his leg and stick marks […]
Syria becoming new center of the global jihad
This New York Times piece claims that the West, by not arming the Syrian rebels quickly enough, missed an opportunity to keep the insurgency from falling completely under the control of Islamic jihadists. But you can see how well that worked in Libya, where we armed the rebels for the same reason, and ended up […]
Richard Dawkins under fire as “racist” for daring to point out that Muslims have won few Nobel Prizes
All the world's Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, though. — Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) August 8, 2013 You can attack someone for his opinion. But for simply stating an intriguing fact? Who would guess that a single Cambridge College . . . — Richard […]
