They beheaded him when their ransom demands were not met. This is all according to Islamic law. Here is a salient passage on this issue from a Shafi’i manual of Islamic law: When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph considers the interests … (of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner’s […]

DHS Secretary: “Right-wingers” pose same threat as Islamic jihadists
This is not true by any measure. The much-publicized “study” from last summer that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a domestic threat than Islamic jihadists has been exploded even on its own skewed terms by the Orlando jihad massacre: it was based on the claim that right-wingers had killed more people […]
Why 17-Year-Old Mayar Mohamed Mousa Had to Die
Mayar Mohamed Mousa, a 17-year-old girl, died the other day in a hospital in the province of Suez in Egypt while undergoing female genital mutilation surgery. Don’t wait for Obama to repeat her name and to say that she could have been one of his daughters. If she had died while having a back-alley abortion because her […]
Clinton’s fear of a clash of civilizations in avoiding the jihadist threat to homeland security
The deputy chairman of police and general security in Dubai recently gave Americans advice on who not to vote for. Lt. Gen. Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, warned that a Donald Trump victory would provoke a “clash of civilizations”, a term that has been referenced by Hillary Clinton. Clinton has been under the microscope for her stance on the war […]
FBI top dog “confused” about Orlando jihadi’s motive because he supported both Sunni and Shia jihad groups
“The lie in the government goes like this: ‘Sunni and Shia hate each other and don’t work together.’ That is wrong on so many practical levels.” So said former FBI agent John Guandolo, and he was right: Shi’ite Iran funds Sunni Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as other Sunni jihad groups. As the old […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Hannity on the Orlando jihad massacre
Last night I appeared on Fox News’ Sean Hannity Show discussing the Orlando jihad massacre and the politically correct willful ignorance that led to it happening.
Video: Furious Obama defends his refusal to name the enemy: “What exactly would using this language accomplish?”
“What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the Pact of Umar
In this tenth segment of my Basics of Islam series, I discuss the legendary Pact of Umar, and what it reveals about the status of Jews and Christians in Islamic law.
Wife of Orlando jihad mass murderer knew of his jihad plans
But she didn’t go to the police. Why not? This is an inculcated attitude. Hamas-linked CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper recently claimed that “law enforcement authorities have repeatedly stated that they have tremendous cooperation from the Muslim community.” But Hamas-linked CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding, as it has more than once advised Muslims not to cooperate with […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Law Enforcement ‘Never Guessed’ Gay Club Would Be Targeted by Jihad
The politically correct willful ignorance that dominates our response to the jihad threat has lethal consequences. My latest in PJ Media: While Omar Mateen was casing other gay clubs to determine where he wanted to commit jihad mass murder, law enforcement officials had no idea a jihadi might ever consider such targets. On Sunday, the […]
