Gawker laments AFDI’s legal victories for the freedom of speech
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 08:49 pm
This article actually provides a helpful overview of the many freedom of speech victories we have won in U.S. courts, rolling back unconstitutional restrictions on speech and attempts to restrict the freedom of speech only to the anti-Israel, pro-jihad Left. But Hannah Block-Wehba is crestfallen by these victories, not recognizing that a victory for the […]

Bosnia: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” opens fire at police station, killing one officer
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 06:35 pm
Bosnia, you know — where all the Muslims are moderates and you’re a greasy Islamophobe if you dare suggest otherwise. How did this misunderstanding of Islam get into pro-American, moderate, peaceful Bosnia, of all places? Did Nerdin Ibric somehow get hold of “Islamophobic” writings? “Gunman carries out ‘terrorist’ attack on Bosnian police station,” DW, April […]

Boston Marathon jihad murderer’s mother-in-law: Islam was his “obsession”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 05:37 pm
Not that the bombings had anything to do with Islam. This kind of testimony shows up the mainstream view of the political and media elites for what it is: a cynical and duplicitous attempt to keep Americans ignorant and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the threat posed by the global jihad. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 01:04 pm
Whether or not the caliph Ibrahim, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is dead, the Islamic State is moving forward to establish itself as a genuine and viable state. Even in doing so, however, they can’t help but emphasize their thirst for blood. “PHOTO: First ‘Official’ Birth Certificate For ISIS,” by Sam Prince, Heavy, April 26, 2015 (thanks […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 12:50 pm

Radio Iran: Islamic State’s caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is dead of injuries from airstrike Pentagon denies hit him
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 12:40 pm
Now al-Baghdadi is supposed to have been killed in the airstrike that the Pentagon denies even injured him. This is very strange: it would be a major success for the airstrikes if al-Baghdadi were wounded or killed in one, so why the denial if it happened? And if it didn’t happen, where are these stories […]

Raymond Ibrahim: The Islamic Genocide of Christians: Past and Present
By Raymond Ibrahim on Apr 27, 2015 12:29 pm
Last Friday, April 24, we remembered how exactly 100 years ago the last historic Muslim caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, tried to cleanse its empire of Christian minorities — Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks — even as we stand by watching as the new caliphate, the Islamic State, resumes the genocide. And in both cases, the atrocities […]

By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 12:07 pm

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander: Saudi Arabia “following in the footsteps of Israel and the Zionists”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 11:41 am
If you’re an Islamic supremacist, anyone who dares oppose you is a Zionist, even if he is actually another Jew-hating Islamic supremacist. “Iran Revolutionary Guard chief: Saudi Arabia following in footsteps of Israel,” Jerusalem Post, April 27, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett): Saudi Arabia is a betrayer who is “following in the footsteps of Israel […]

Six PEN members protest award to Charlie Hebdo
By Robert Spencer on Apr 27, 2015 07:21 am
“If PEN as a free speech organization can’t defend and celebrate people who have been murdered for drawing pictures, then frankly the organization is not worth the name,” Mr. Rushdie said. And for once, he is right. PEN is supposed to oppose censorship and defend the freedom of speech — except, apparently, when to do […]
