We get a steady stream of hate mail, but we also occasionally receive messages like this one, which I publish with the sender’s permission because it is a welcome indication that, contrary to appearances, the Justice Department is not entirely compromised and in thrall to deceptive Islamic supremacists: Subject: Thank you from an avid reader […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Islamic tolerance and contributions to civilization
Last Wednesday night, April 13, I spoke in Ottawa. The full video is forthcoming but in the meantime, here is my response to a questioner who detailed a long list of Islam’s alleged contributions to civilization, and its reputed history of tolerance. Video thanks to Vlad Tepes.
Cruz: “Patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized” — Hamas-linked CAIR outraged
“‘It’s really beyond belief that you have one of the leading presidential candidates calling for law enforcement to target religious communities totally based on the fact that they are of a particular faith,’ said Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the [Hamas-linked] Council on American-Islamic relations [sic].” Meanwhile, significant segments of Hooper’s religious community worldwide are […]
Columbus, Ohio’s Nazareth Restaurant, site of jihad terror attack in February, is going strong
Back in February there was yet another jihad terror attack on American soil: a Muslim named Mohammad Barry entered the Nazareth Restaurant & Deli in Columbus, Ohio and began slashing patrons with a machete.

Hungarian PM: “Europe is not free. Because freedom begins with speaking the truth.”
This is a historic speech. Viktor Orban is a champion of freedom amid the enveloping darkness. “We must therefore drag the ancient virtue of courage out from under the silt of oblivion. First of all we must put steel in our spines.” Luminous and lapidary words shining like a spotlight out of the gloom. Here […]

The Islamic jihad against Christendom started before anyone ever heard of a Crusade
A welcome bit of truth amid the enveloping propaganda. “Tracing the roots of Islamic jihad,” by James A. Lyons, Washington Times, March 10, 2016 (thanks to Jim): In an earlier column in these pages, “Reforming Islam,” I documented the need for Islam to experience an internal reformation. This is not just a question of abstract […]

Netanyahu: “The words of the U.N. secretary general give a tailwind to terrorism”
“The Palestinian murderers do not want to build a state — they want to destroy a state and they say that out loud. They want to kill Jews wherever they are, and they say that out loud.” Good to see a political leader finally telling the truth about this. “Netanyahu Chides Ban Ki-moon for Settlement […]
Cruz: “If you wage jihad against us you’re signing your death warrant”
A bit more realism than what is coming out of the Oval Office tonight. Even calling it “jihad” is a departure from the prevailing fantasies. “‘President Cruz’ ad promises: ‘If you wage jihad against us you’re signing your death warrant,’” by Carmine Sabia, BizPac Review, December 6, 2015: Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz released a […]
