“Before the verdict, Cottrell told the court the matter ‘set a dangerous precedent for the state’, saying the video was a form of free speech. ‘It was aimed at a tenet of a religion, not a whole class of people,’ Cottrell said.” Indeed. If Blair Cottrell, Christopher Shortis and Neil Erikson had made a video […]

NYC: Muslim college student who lied about being attacked by Trump supporter pleads guilty
I’m just glad she is still alive. When her hoax was first revealed, her father shaved her head and paraded her bald publicly at a court hearing. This was a glimpse into the dangers she was facing at home, and the possibility that she could be the victim of an honor killing. The Leftists who […]
Al-Qaeda rebrands itself as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, a “moderate” alternative to the Islamic State
The astonishing aspect of this is that mainstream Western analysts will fall for it. After all, they have gotten behind the idea that the Muslim Brotherhood is “moderate” because it doesn’t usually resort to violence in order to further its goal of implementing Sharia. The fact that the Brotherhood and groups such as al-Qaeda and […]
McMaster sparked a row with the Israeli delegation at a White House meeting on Hizballah
Why Trump keeps McMaster on is a mystery. But clearly the General has won the day, and turned the President from his earlier resolve to confront the jihad threat realistically. The denial and willful ignorance regarding the motivating ideology of the threat, which has prevailed now for sixteen years, continues. It is the pathway to […]
Robert Spencer: NH Mosque Preaches Jihad, Police Chief Cries “Islamophobia”
Will ignoring and denying a problem make it go away? My latest in FrontPage: A controversy has erupted over a mosque in New Hampshire that an investigator contends is preaching jihad. Instead of investigating, however, the local police chief has doubled down, claiming that the charges are just “Islamophobia.” Is he really willing to bet […]
Supreme Court votes for national security, upholds Trump travel ban
A win for common sense and national security.

“The left is trying to use Charlottesville as its Reichstag Fire moment — a chance to shut down all dissent”
The freedom of speech is deeply imperiled, and most Americans don’t even know this is happening, or why the freedom of speech is so important. “Stifling free speech, one Pamela Geller-Robert Spencer-Michael Savage at a time,” by Cheryl K. Chumley, Washington Times, September 12, 2017: Conservatives of the country, take note: Voices are being squelched. […]
Leftists at George Washington University try to smear conservative group with fake “Islamophobic” posters
“Brown said ‘this cheap trick’ was already attempted and ‘foiled’ back in 2007, ‘when leftists attempted to smear GW YAF’s name, but ultimately failed.’” Not only was it tried in 2007, but it was tried with exactly these posters. Today’s Left-fascists at GWU can’t even come up with original defamation. “Young America’s Foundation strongly urges […]
Dubai man jailed for insulting Islam on Facebook loses appeal
In the enlightened West, people aren’t arrested or jailed for criticizing Muhammad. They’re just excoriated as racist, bigoted Islamophobes, and shunned by all decent people, and concerted efforts are made to deny them access to all means of communication. Everyone the world over agrees that Muhammad, alone of all human beings, must never be criticized. […]
Pope Francis on 9/11 anniversary: Religions “cannot desire anything other than peace”
In addition to what is noted below, Ahmed al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Cairo’s al-Azhar, thanked Pope Francis for his “defense of Islam against the accusation of violence and terrorism.” Pope Francis has also said that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.” After Islamic jihadists […]
