Why is Islam taboo?
This article seems to proceed from the false assumption that jihad violence and Islamic supremacism have no basis or justification in Islamic texts and teachings, but otherwise it makes a very important point: obviously there is a problem that has something to do with Islam. Why is it forbidden to discuss it? Why can there […]
Robert Spencer: Building Bridges Between Christians and Muslims: A Case Study
In PJ Media this morning I recap the story of how the Roman Catholic bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, Robert McManus, barred me from speaking after getting pressure from the media and Islamic supremacists. This story has free speech implications far beyond this particular case. More here. Here is the petition that is circulating asking Bishop […]
Worcester bishop: “Spencer’s talk about extreme, militant Islamists…might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims”
Bishop Robert McManus of Worcester, Massachusetts canceled my scheduled address to this Catholic Men’s Conference on March 16 after pressure from an Islamic supremacist who is an open “friend and supporter” of a convicted jihad terrorist.

While Christians face escalating persecution from Muslims in Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia and elsewhere, the Catholic Church temporizes, ignores the victims, and plays at “dialogue” with Islamic supremacist groups whose announced intent is to “build bridges” with non-Muslims. Such bridges are really just proselytizing mechanisms to convert them to Islam, not an attempt to […]

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29 […]

Polio virus found in Egypt linked to Pakistan
Last summer, a Pakistani Muslim cleric said that polio vaccinations were un-Islamic. More recently, the Taliban was murdering people who were administering the polio vaccine in Pakistan. And this is the fruit of their quest for Islamic purity. “Officials: Polio virus found in Egypt linked to Pakistan,” from AFP, January 22 (thanks to Patrick Poole): […]
#MyJihad: “As we ascend in this new era under the Global Khilafah we smell our victory over the west”
A new jihad document has appeared on the web: The Global Islamic Civilization — Power Of A Nation Revived (thanks to Pamela Geller). It contains a closely argued Islamic case for jihad warfare; will the “moderates” in the U.S. who claim to reject this understanding of jihad address and refute it on Islamic grounds? Don’t […]
