Charlie Hebdo memorial vandalized in Paris four times in two weeks By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 07:43 pm
Here is yet another indication of the fact that the killers of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, not their victims, enjoy significant support among Muslims in Paris. What are French authorities doing about that? Are they demanding that Muslim leaders in France begin to institute programs in mosques and Islamic schools teaching against the idea that […] Read in browser »
Islamic State jihadis complain that “the Syrians do not know anything of the Islamic religion” By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 06:54 pm
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson just said that to call the Islamic State Islamic would be “dignifying them as occupying some form of Islam.” And so here we see the cognitive dissonance clearly: the Islamic State is impatient with Syrians whom they claim know nothing about Islam, and non-Muslim authorities in the West (and Muslim authorities […] Read in browser »

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was reduced to stammering tautologies when George Stephanopoulos asked him why the Administration won’t call the Islamic State Islamic: “Now I have to say, when I travel around the country and meet with Muslim leaders in this country in these engagements that I have, they all tend to say pretty […] Read in browser »
As Somali jihadis threaten Mall of America, U.S. importing 800 Somalis a month By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 05:14 pm
And of course no attempt is made to determine if they are members of jihad groups or hold jihadi beliefs. That would be “Islamophobic.” Hey, what could possibly go wrong? “Somali Islamic terrorists threaten attack on Mall of America; we are bringing in over 800 Somali refugees a month right now!,” by Ann Corcoran, Refugee Resettlement […] Read in browser »
Islamic jihadists threaten Mall of America in new video By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 04:15 pm
Even the threat serves the purpose of fulfilling the command to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). “Mall of America threatened in purported al-Shabaab video,” by Mary Divine, Pioneer Press, February 21, 2015: A masked man in a purported al-Shabaab video urges followers to use the 2013 Nairobi, Kenya, […] Read in browser »

How did there come to be so many misunderstanders of Islam in Australia? “Sydney Siege: 18 Warning Calls Before Attack,” Sky News, February 22, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett): A national […] Read in browser »
UK: Muslim former Cabinet member gave official posts to Islamic supremacists By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 08:45 am
Britain can’t seem to kill itself fast enough to suit British authorities. “Islamic ‘radicals’ at the heart of Whitehall,” by Andrew Gilligan, the Telegraph, February 22, 2015: Entryism, the favourite tactic of the 1980s’ Militant Tendency, is when a political party or institution is infiltrated by groups with a radically different agenda. Since Militant’s Trotskyites […] Read in browser »

How did these “four people” get into Sweden, and what are they doing there that brings benefit to the Swedish people? Was any attempt made to determine their sentiments regarding jihad, or would that have been “Islamophobic”? “Four detained in Sweden for funding IS: report,” AFP, February 17, 2015 (thanks to Money Jihad): Swedish police […] Read in browser »
Brigitte Bardot on trial again for insulting Muslims By Robert Spencer on Feb 22, 2015 08:02 am
It is increasingly difficult in the “free world” to state unpopular truths — and if the forces of “peace” and “tolerance” and “liberalism” get their way, before too long it will be completely impossible. There is an ongoing effort to impose Sharia blasphemy laws upon the West, and all too many Westerners are happy to […] Read in browser »
