France has, after all, been open to the world. It has welcomed millions of other, non-Muslim migrants — refugees from the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, Portuguese workers in the 1950s, Italian miners throughout the 20th century, and more recently, Latin Americans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Christians from black Africa and the Caribbean, Hindus, Buddhists, even Americans […]

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” ban shows intersection of Islamic and #MeToo sensibilities
The bans on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” ironic in this age of gangsta rap lyrics full of violent rape imagery and open and unapologetic misogyny, are being rolled back here and there after listener outcries, but they’re still instructive. They show an intersection of Sharia sensibilities with the harsh and angry puritanism of some radical […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Huffington Post Enraged: UN Pick Heather Nauert Has ‘Relationship’ With Me?
HuffPo offers its usual distortions and hysteria against a Trump nominee. My latest in PJ Media: President Trump has chosen Heather Nauert to replace Nikki Haley as the United States ambassador to the United Nations, and the Huffington Post is in a fine froth. It tapped the intrepid Rowaida Abdelaziz to write a hit piece […]
French Interior Minister says Strasbourg jihad murderer was being watched in a “relatively serious manner”
Clearly they weren’t watching him seriously enough. “In any case, French security forces have said it would be impossible to keep an eye on all 12,000 listed for suspected Islamist views or even the 4,000 considered ‘problematic.’” This is exactly in accord with the jihadi plan. As I explain in detail in my book The […]

Trump administration places Pakistan on list of worst violators of religious freedom
The Trump administration has put Pakistan “on its annual list of worst offenders for nations that it says infringe on religious freedom,” largely because of its infamous blasphemy laws. The high profile case of “Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who was recently acquitted of blasphemy but has been unable to leave the country due […]
Saudis hold “International Conference on Islamic unity” and “perils of exclusion” in city where non-Muslims banned
Rejecting hatred, extremism, “all forms of discrimination,” exclusion and division is good, right? Not when such words are manipulated by stealth jihadists, far-Leftists and hate-filled Black Lives Matter revolutionaries. And an even starker reminder of this nefarious manipulation has now occurred in Saudi Arabia. This international group of Islamic leaders isn’t assembling to figure out […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Strasbourg
Cherif Chekatt reminds Emmanuel Macron that climate change is not the only threat France faces. My latest in FrontPage: Emmanuel Macron, France’s youthful wunderkind, Europe’s poster child for globalism and socialism, has been absorbed lately with furious protests and riots over a confiscatory new tax he placed on gasoline in order to fight what he […]
Egypt: Muslim mob screaming “Allahu akbar” attacks Christians, forces closure of church
“The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches.” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). Islamic law also forbids Christians to repair existing churches. “Koum al-Raheb church closed, Copts attacked,” by Nader Shukry, Watani International, December 10, 2018: The police has caught an unspecified number of Copts and Muslims in the village of Koum al-Raheb […]
