Kecia Ali, associate professor of religion at Boston University, has called me the “Grand pooh-bah of the legion of American Islamophobes.” Grand pooh-bah! Do I get a hat with horns? But seriously, what is this charge of being an “Islamophobe,” and where did it come from? I oppose jihad terror, and the Sharia subjugation of […]
London police visit mosques to encourage reporting of “perceived hate crimes”
The police are working with “Tell MAMA, a discredited ‘anti-Islamophobia’ group that lost government funding in 2013 after exaggerating statistics to further their cause.” It is unlikely that the London police know or care how many “anti-Muslim hate crimes” are actually faked by Muslims themselves in order to gain coveted victim status and deflect counter-terror […]
“Robert Spencer looks like an anti-Semitic parody cartoon” — Richard Spencer
“Robert Spencer looks like an anti-Semitic parody cartoon.” — Richard Spencer White supremacist Richard Spencer is in the news again, as the Governor of Florida has hysterically declared a state of emergency in advance of Spencer’s speech in Gainesville. Whenever Richard Spencer is in the news, my Twitter feed and email box fill up with […]
New Jersey: Muslim claims his wife won’t leave home alone because of “Trump’s anti-Muslim hysteria”
Here is still more trumped-up victimhood propaganda. It’s much more likely that the only real reason why Fakhruddin Ahmed’s wife might not be able to leave the house is because he hasn’t given her permission to do so. Islamic law stipulates: “The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home…because of the hadith related […]
Steve Bannon: Robert Spencer “one of the top two or three experts in the world on this war against fundamental Islam”
Stephen K. Bannon, former Trump Administration Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor, said in 2016 that I was “one of the top two or three experts in the world on this great war…against fundamental Islam.” Now, in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe (pre-order here), I tell the story of how and why anyone would […]
UK: Muslim accuses sanitation worker of “racism” for following council policy
Always, everywhere, even in the most trivial of matters, come the claims of victimhood. Watch for this incident to show up in the victimhood group TellMamaUK’s list of “Islamophobic” incidents. “Binman is accused of racism by irate resident for following council policy and not picking up rubbish from the road – and is abused even […]
Gavin McInnes on Robert Spencer’s Confessions of an Islamophobe: “Postjudice, not prejudice”
Here is Gavin McInnes on my forthcoming book, Confessions of an Islamophobe, which you can preorder here: “This book proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Islamophobia is not based on an irrational fear of Islam, but a rational concern. Robert Spencer eloquently and definitively proves that concern about Islam is based on postjudice, […]
Toronto District School Board’s dangerous ‘Islamophobia’ definition shows why Canadians oppose M-103
“The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) issued a guidebook for ‘Islamic Heritage Month’ that includes a definition of ‘Islamophobia.’ As pointed out by B’nai Brith Canada, the definition was disturbingly broad, including defining ‘Islamphobia’ as ‘fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or towards Islamic politics or culture.’” Dislike of Islamic politics.

AP: Praying the Rosary is “Islamophobic”
This morning Christine Douglass-Williams brought you a report here at Jihad Watch on this Roman Catholic “Rosary to the Borders” event in Poland. Noteworthy also is how the Associated Press covered the event: “some felt,” the AP intoned, that the event “had anti-Muslim overtones.” Why? Because “the event also commemorated the huge 16th-century naval battle […]
Woman taken off plane after demanding dogs be removed claims she was taken off plane because she’s Muslim
Jihad Watch reported on September 28 about this incident: a woman got on an airplane, saw dogs on it, and demanded they be removed because she had, she said, “life-threatening allergies.” When she could not produce documentation of that fact, she was herself removed from the plane. “She was later arrested and charged with disorderly […]
