The knifeman who stabbed three people yesterday and was only identified as a “Southerner” turns out to be a Muslim migrant from Afghanistan. He apparently chose his victims randomly, but the cops say his motives are “unknown,” and they are not treating the incident as terror-related. No amount of covering up is enough, evidently, for […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Relax: California Muslim with IEDs in Car Has ‘No Ties’ to Terror Orgs
Go back to sleep. Who doesn’t drive around with IEDs in the car? My latest in FrontPage: If Saleh Ali hadn’t been pulled over by a traffic cop for having an expired vehicle registration, the consequences could have been explosive. Lt. Adam Hawley of the Brea, California police department said: “During the traffic stop, the […]
Max Abrahms, “one of the world’s leading experts on terrorism,” claims jihadis are “ignorant about Islam”
Establishment counterterror analyst Max Abrahms once agreed to debate me on the question of whether or not the Islamic State is Islamic, but then lost his nerve and backed out, leaving behind a smokescreen of ad hominem attacks to mask his cowardice. And here we see how he would have fared if that debate had […]
Germany: Muslim migrant strikes woman in the face, has “obvious mental illness,” is admitted to psychiatric clinic
This Muslim migrant “struck a nearby woman in the face with his fist, saying the words, ‘That comes from Satan.’” What could this possibly be but more of the global outbreak of mental illness? No doubt German authorities are confused by the fact that the man said, “That comes from Satan.” Is he a Satanist? […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part III)
I used to wonder if the Dalai Lama was deliberately trying to pretend that the real Islam was all those nice things — peaceful, tolerant — he claimed, in the hope that if enough Muslims heard this repeated by enough Infidels, it would change their behavior; Muslims pleased to hear themselves described as such would […]
Nigeria: Muslims kill abducted Red Cross worker, Red Cross says “no religious law” justifies harming other hostages
Is the International Committee of the Red Cross really sure that “there is no ideology or religious law that could justify doing any harm” to the remaining Red Cross workers being held by the jihad terrorists of Boko Haram? What about the religious law that is derived from the book that says these things? “And […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part II)
At the same gathering, the Dalai Lama insisted that “India is the only country where different religions have been able to co-exist.” This was a bizarre remark, but the Dalai Lama is given to strange remarks. First, could he have forgotten that all over the Western world, people of different confessions have coexisted peacefully? Or […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part I)
There seem to be two Dalai Lamas when it comes to Islam. The first Dalai Lama, like that other expert on Islam Pope Francis, knows that authentic Islam is opposed to terrorism, that Islam is all about peace, and that any Muslim who engages in violence for that very reason can not be a “genuine […]
Robert Spencer Video: Bicyclists Murdered by ISIS Were Victims of the Left’s Fantasy World
In this new video, I discuss Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan, who were murdered by Islamic State jihadis while bicycling through Tajikistan. They were victims of Left’s fantasies, such as the idea that evil is a cultural construct and Islam is a religion of peace.
Disgraced Cardinal Praised ISNA and “True Islam”
“We know what Islam is and we know what lessons Islam is going to teach all of us,” former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick declared reassuringly on May 31, 2015, at Crystal City, Virginia’s Hyatt Regency Hotel. McCarrick’s comments before an Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) interfaith conference recall how this now disgraced Catholic clergyman led […]
