As the Washington Post noted at the height of the controversy over his “clock,” Ahmed was showered with support from “Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton and Google co-founder Sergey Brin,” while “Tweets, think pieces and daytime TV segments were dedicated to dissecting how Ahmed’s situation typified racism and Islamaphobia [sic] in America,” […]
Robert Spencer Video: Is It “Islamophobic” to Call 9/11 Hijackers “Islamic Terrorists”?
In this new video, I discuss two recent protests by Muslims against the labeling of the 9/11 hijackers as Islamic terrorists, and show how they’re part of ongoing efforts to intimidate Americans into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror.
After meat cleaver jihad attack and jihad bomb, New York launches ad campaign against “Islamophobia”
A Muslim slashed a New York cop with a meat cleaver on September 15. Another Muslim planted bombs in New York and New Jersey; one went off, wounding 29 people in Chelsea on September 17. In response, the city of New York is launching a campaign against jihad terror, calling on Muslims to institute honest, […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Re-Education of Reverend Daisy Obi
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has just upheld a lower court’s ruling that the Rev. Daisy Obi, a 73-year-old pastor originally from Nigeria, and a Somerville landlord, must not only serve six months in jail for pushing a Muslim tenant, but must “enroll and attend an introductory course on Islam.” The original story was […]
Dallas Morning News: “Islamophobia” leads to high cholesterol, obesity, and cancer
Now we know why Ahmad Khan Rahami had packed on a few pounds: it wasn’t the fried chicken he was peddling pre-jihad, it was “Islamophobia.” Goleen Samari is a postdoctoral research fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, and one wonders if they accept this level of “scholarship” from her. Here the Dallas Morning […]
Robert Spencer: After Muslim stabs non-Muslims in Minnesota mall, Minnesota Muslims play the victim
Over at the Geller Report I explode the latest exercise in spurious Muslim victimhood: A Muslim stabbed ten non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that […]
The “Islamophobia” Lie
As we learned this past Saturday night of yet another violent attack perpetrated by a devout Muslim against innocent people, this time at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, that left nine people with knife wounds, an appropriate question to ask might be… How much of this garbage is the American public supposed to […]
Muslim wanted for bombs in NYC and New Jersey sued police, claiming they persecuted him for being a Muslim
He went from claims of victimhood to jihad; usually the trajectory is jihad first, then claims of victimhood. Will this revelation lead to claims that the “Islamophobia” of the Elizabeth, New Jersey police department led him to become “radicalized” and take up jihad? “EXCLUSIVE: Wanted New York and New Jersey bomb suspect sued his local […]
Reza Aslan claims that since 2002, right-wing terrorists have killed far more Americans than Islamic terrorists
Media wonder boy Reza Aslan is behind the curve on this one: this particular talking point has already been debunked (not that he would care, or stop repeating it, if he knew). Back in June 2015, the New America Foundation published a study that garnered enthusiastic international publicity, as it purported to demonstrate that “right-wing […]
Trump: “People who warn about radical Islamic terrorism are not Islamophobes”
Trump is challenging the sacred dogmas of the political and media elites in a way no candidate has in decades. That is why he so frightens and enrages them. “Trump says Clinton’s bodyguards should ‘disarm immediately’ and ‘see what happens to her,’” by Sean Sullivan and Jenna Johnson, Washington Post, September 17, 2016: …At the […]
