The One-Way Street of Islamic Tolerance by Paul Weston What constitutes religious bullying these days? Some would suggest crucifying Christians in Syria, burning down churches in Egypt or kidnapping Christian girls in Nigeria might adhere to the description of bullying, or at the very least failing to adhere to the guidelines related to Inculcating Inter-Faith […]

Robert Spencer at PJ Media: 5 New Signs of the West’s Myopia About the Jihad Threat
In PJ Media today I explore the latest in willful ignorance and myopia: In Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Kenya, Somalia and elsewhere, Islamic jihadists are more aggressive and audacious than ever – but the denial about who they are and what they hope to accomplish is thicker than ever. Counter-jihadists are in the position reminiscent of […]
“Middle East security analyst”: rise of global jihad “has nothing to do with Islam”
How could a “radical interpretation of Islam” have “nothing to do with the religion”? How is it that these groups that uniformly explain and justify their actions on the basis of Islam have nothing to do with Islam? How is it that a group that calls itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant and […]
UK: Muslim accepted to study medicine goes to Iraq to wage jihad
Here is yet more indication that the idea that poverty causes terrorism, albeit universally accepted, is a myth. The Economist reported back in December 2010: The ranks of high-profile terrorism suspects also boast plenty of middle-class, well-educated people. The would-be Times Square bomber, Faisal Shehzad, boasts an MBA and is the son of a senior […]
Robert Spencer in Truth Revolt: The Left’s Hypocrisy About ‘Right-Wing Terrorism’
Over at Truth Revolt I expose the latest attempt by Leftists and Islamic supremacists to deflect attention away from the grim reality of Islamic jihad. In covering the killings in Las Vegas by Jerad and Amanda Miller this week, mainstream media commentators once again displayed their hypocrisy and double standard regarding Islamic terrorism and terror […]
Robert Spencer at Catholic.com: Islam and Sex Slavery
Over at Catholic.com I discuss the frequently-repeated claims that Boko Haram is violating Islamic law: One thing we know about Boko Haram, the Nigerian terrorist group that has appalled the world by abducting and enslaving 300 schoolgirls, is that what it has done is completely contrary to the tenets of Islam. Or at least that’s […]
Robert Spencer at PJ Media: 5 Falsehoods and Fantasies in Obama’s West Point Speech
Over at PJ Media I explore the latest in Obama’s fantasy-based analysis: 5. “We have to focus not just on rescuing those girls right away, but also on supporting Nigerian efforts to educate its youth.” This proceeds from the common assumption that only ignorant people engage in terrorism, and so all that anyone needs to […]
Dallas: Hamas-linked CAIR sponsors “Walk Against Islamophobia”
Hamas-linked CAIR was a co-sponsor of this event, but it doesn’t really want to end “Islamophobia” at all. “Islamophobia” is its bread and butter. The organization even has a new “Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia,” directed by Corey Saylor, who has already begun attempting to harass and intimidate pro-freedom groups. Hamas-linked CAIR wants and […]
EU and UK: Stabbing and beheading while praising Allah is not “religiously inspired terrorism”
A small detail in EuroPol’s report “European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report 2014” underlines the cowardice of the EU and the UK when it comes to confronting Islamic terrorism: European Union (EU) Member States reported no terrorist attacks specifically classified as religiously inspired terrorism for the 2013 period. However, in at least two attacks, […]
UK: Muslim cleric praises Boko Haram’s kidnap of schoolgirls
This is the Britain that Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron have made. Why has Mizanur Rahman’s sermon “sparked fresh outrage”? Why is anyone upset about it at all? After all, I was banned from Britain for saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for […]
