The trial of James McConnell for calling Islam “heathen” and “satanic” is one of the low points of modern British history. How many imams have called Judaism, Christianity, or Hinduism “heathen” or “satanic” without suffering any consequences? If McConnell had been an atheist who called Christianity “heathen” and “satanic,” or “stupid” and “evil,” or some […]
Turkey: Erdogan to form new monitoring agency to restrict social media activity and combat ‘fake news’
“Fake news” according to whom? Why, according to Erdogan, of course. Just as in the U.S., what Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg and the Google thugs consider “fake news” from their far-Left perspective is banned, buried, erased, silenced. Biden’s handlers are likely taking notes from Erdogan in this and ready to make this social media […]
UK: Labour Party to vote against ‘Freedom of Speech’ bill, says it will embolden ‘hate speech’
Another small episode in the long, slow, lingering death of Britain. Who decides which people are “harmful to public interest”? Who appoints the tribunal that determines who can speak and who cannot? That this bill is necessary, and that it causes any controversy at all, shows yet again that Britain is in its death throes […]
Tennessee: After two-year investigation for criticizing Islam, DA cleared by Board of Professional Responsibility
Freedom of speech? What’s that? If Northcott had said likened being a Christian to being part of the KKK or Aryan Nation, do you think he would have been investigated for two years? Of course not. He would have been made chairman of the local Critical Race Theory implementation board. “Tennessee D.A. investigated for comments […]
Muslim World League top dog: ‘The terrorist attack on Samuel Paty has nothing to do with Islam’
“Already, in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, certain actions were prejudicial to the religion and to the very person of the Prophet. But he always remained indifferent, because the Koran says ‘not to turn around in front of these people.’” Reality: Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something […]
Sweden: Authorities Are Punishing Me for Criticizing Islam
In 2017, I was reported by a snitch after comments I made in a closed Facebook group calling Islam a fascist ideology and Muhammed a pedophile. In Sweden, we have a law prohibiting incitement against an ethnic group; Islam is regarded as an ethnic group, but I was lucky and got acquitted, so the […]
France: 11 Muslims convicted of threatening and tormenting teen who criticized Islam online
Such is the fate of anyone who insults Islam: torment or death. This is not due to “extremism”; Islamic law mandates death for “blasphemers.” Unlike any other religion, insulting it leads to open calls for violent retribution. This story of Mila has been ongoing for over a year, and shows how relentlessly brutal some Muslims […]
India: Muslim organizations push ‘Prophet Muhammad Bill’ to criminalize insults to Islam
This kind of initiative is heading West. “Maharashtra: Muslim organisations want special law to punish ‘insults’ against Muhammad, even when 295(a) was brought for the same reason,” OpIndia, July 7, 2021: Muslim religious groups like Raza Academy and Tahaffuz Namoos-e-Risalat Board and Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) have reportedly been pressurised the Maharashtra state government to […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Islamophobia and the Threat to Free Speech
With Kyle Shideler on a Center for Security Policy webinar. Order my new book, Islamophobia and the Threat to Free Speech, here. The freedom of speech and expression is one of our most important and cherished American principles. Yet it is everywhere under attack. On college campuses, by students and administrators alike.

New York Times: ‘A French Teenager’s Anti-Islam Rant Unleashed Death Threats’
The New York Times, like the rest of the establishment Left’s propaganda organs, is committed to concealing crimes done in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, and does all it can to absolve Islam of all responsibility for those misdeeds. This headline is a particularly piquant example of how it is […]
