What backlash? Muslims attacked? Mosques burned? Laws passed barring Muslims from entering airports? No. Actually, there has been no backlash at all: “violence against Maine’s estimated 6,000 Muslims has not been a serious problem.” So where’s the backlash? Why, one Muslim says that “the anger and hostility displayed nationally during the political campaign season eventually […]
Wichita Islamic Society nixes Hamas-linked speaker after congressman objects
Would the Wichita Islamic Society have canceled this Hamas speaker if Congressman Pompeo hadn’t blown the whistle? And now it is, predictably enough, playing the victim: “Madi says they were worried about reports of planned protests outside the mosque by ‘heavily armed’ individuals.” “Wichita Islamic Society nixes Hamas-linked speaker after congressman objects,” by Lauren Seabrook […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: ‘We’re All Muslims Deep Down,’ Says … Boston Police Commissioner
In PJ Media today I discuss how the Boston Police Commissioner has taken pandering to diazzying new heights. Also, don’t miss Hugh Fitzgerald’s take, here.

Denmark: Imam says adulterous women should be stoned to death, mosque openly supports the Islamic State
“There have been numerous unsuccessful political attempts to close Grimhøj Mosque down…” Why were they unsuccessful? It should have been shut down long ago.

In FrontPage today I discuss the remarkable falsehoods Barack Obama purveyed at the Islamic Society of Baltimore yesterday. When Barack Obama visited the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of Baltimore on Wednesday, he said: “The first thing I want to say is two words that Muslim Americans don’t hear often enough: Thank you.” While Obama has been […]
Mosque Obama visited under FBI surveillance since 2010: one of its members plotted to blow up a federal building
Obama is the President of the United States. He must know all this. That he could plead ignorance of it is inconceivable. So in light of it, why did he go? And when he went, why did he not bother to include even a word about how the Muslims in the U.S., who he thinks […]

Obama at Islamic Society of Baltimore: “Muslim Americans keep us safe”
The apotheosis of the Muslim victimhood myth. FBI hate crime statistics show that the hysteria over “Islamophobia” is unfounded, but that matters not at all to Barack Obama. “Obama rebuts anti-Muslim rhetoric in first U.S. mosque visit,” by Kevin Liptak, PJ Media, February 3, 2016: (CNN)Seeking to rebut what he views as perilous election-year bombast […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Obama visits Muslim Brotherhood-tied mosque
In PJ Media today I discuss why this was the wrong thing to do: After seven years of pandering to and appeasing the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, Barack Obama will mark the crowning moment of his presidency: today he will — for the first time as president — visit a mosque in the United States. […]
