Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Barack Obama’s Half-Clocked Tale of Islamophobia
In PJ Media today I discuss how, as usual, Obama has assumed that Americans are bigots before the contrary facts were in about Ahmed Mohamed’s suspicious-looking device and uncooperative behavior. Ahmed Mohamed, 14, a freshman at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas, had a mind for gadgetry and a great idea: he would build his […]
Muslim migrant mob screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to break through Hungarian border
Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE.

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Pope Karl I
In FrontPage today I discuss how the Pope has blamed the refugee crisis on…capitalism. September 16, 2015: Did Karl Marx become Pope on March 13, 2013?

Texas: Muslim student arrested for bringing clock that looked like bomb to school; Obama invites him to White House

Indonesian jihad terror convict: jihadis are misunderstanding Qur’an and Hadith
Laskar Jihad was burning down churches. “The hadiths clearly say that Prophet Muhammad condemned such actions and it made me think that what I was doing was wrong,” said Jumu Tuani. “It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from […]
Yemen: Islamic jihadists torch Roman Catholic church in Aden
Did the church hold a Muhammad cartoon contest? Did the church tell people that Islam was not actually a religion of peace after all? Will Pope Francis and the U.S. Catholic bishops issue an apology to the jihadist attackers for the effrontery of having a Roman Catholic church in Aden, which constituted an obvious obstacle […]
