“It found the Salafi-jihadist groups shared nearly identical ideologies and said challenging their interpretation of Islam was critical to defeating them.” I couldn’t agree more that their ideology has to be challenged. But challenging it on spurious grounds will prove futile. Pretending that they’re misunderstanding the Book of Peace and the peaceful teachings of Muhammad […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Muslim Murders Police Official, Authorities Rush to Defend…Islam
In FrontPage today, I chronicle just another day in the suicidal West. Last week a fifteen-year-old Muslim, Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad, went to a police station in New South Wales and shot dead a civilian police employee, Curtis Cheng. After the murder, the young murderer was, according to an eyewitness, “dancing joyously.” Outside the station, […]

Many people complained that they could not hear this talk in the version I posted yesterday. So here is an enhanced audio version, with hearty thanks to Vlad. On August 13, 2015, I was the keynote speaker at the annual convocation of the North American Lutheran Church in Dallas, Texas. I spoke about the global […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Muslim persecution of Christians — the speech the U.S. Catholic Bishops don’t want you to see
UPDATE: I have swapped out the original video embedded in this post for one with improved audio. On August 13, 2015, I was the keynote speaker at the annual convocation of the North American Lutheran Church in Dallas, Texas. I spoke about the global Muslim persecution of Christians. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sends […]
UK: 14-year-old Muslim told teacher, “You are on my beheading list”
“It is clear that he had been radicalised by Isis propaganda accessed by him over the internet.” How clear is it, really? How long are Western authorities going to persist in this delusion without ever asking themselves why the moderate, peaceful Muslim that they assume prevails in their countries is completely unable to withstand the […]
Cameron to “Barack”: “Every religion has its extremists, but…biggest problem…is the Islamist extremist violence”
When you’re too politically correct even for a self-deluded and compromised dhimmi such as David Cameron, you’ve really gone round the bend. “Barack,” said Cameron chummily, “you are quite right, that every religion has its extremists, but we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that […]
University of Chicago gets $100 million donation to study global conflict
This is how the foreign policy establishment reinforces itself, and keeps applying the same failed policies over and over again: it’s lucrative to do so, the mainstream media never offers a challenge, so what’s the downside? “If you build a bridge, insurgents blow it up so the government won’t be successful. Cash subsidies to poor […]
Obama serves up cliches and falsehoods as his anti-ISIS strategy
Over at PamelaGeller.com I dissected Obama’s grand strategy for defeating the Islamic State. Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Comments interspersed below. “Remarks by President Obama at the Leaders’ Summit on Countering ISIL and Violent Extremism,” United Nations Headquarters, September 29, 2015: PRESIDENT OBAMA: Good […]
Video: Obama calls for “rejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror”
OK, great. But what about the Muslims who equate Islam with terror? Obama called on Muslims to reject “those who distort Islam to preach intolerance and promote violence.” So when he is going to call upon mosques and Muslim organizations in the U.S. to back up their condemnations of the Islamic State with genuine programs […]
Putin to those who supported “Arab Spring” in Middle East: “Do you realize what you have done?”
“Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?” No, they don’t realize what they have done, and […]
