By Robert Spencer on Jun 25, 2015 08:42 pm

Leading Muslim body calls airing of Muhammad cartoons “odious terrorist act”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 25, 2015 07:45 pm
A lack of perspective and common sense that increasingly afflicts not just al-Azhar, but the entire world. Just for the record: drawing or publishing or displaying cartoons is an innocuous act by any objective standard. Murdering people who do those things — that’s an odious terrorist act. “Key Muslim body Al-Azhar condemns ‘sick’ Mohammed cartoons,” […]

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Insincere Apology
By Robert Spencer on Jun 25, 2015 07:20 pm
How can a jihadi repent for his jihad? My latest in FrontPage: “Tsarnaev apologizes for Boston Marathon bombing,” trumpeted the Boston Globe Wednesday, and certainly the young jihad murderer talked a good game: “I would like to apologize to the victims and the survivors,” he said. “I am sorry for the lives I have taken, […]

Nigeria: Sharia court sentences two to death for blasphemy against Muhammad
By Robert Spencer on Jun 25, 2015 07:11 pm
In the free and enlightened West, we don’t kill people for blaspheming Muhammad. We just assassinate their character and call them “racists,” “bigots” and “Islamophobes,” and imply that Islamic jihad murderers are justified in stalking and hunting them. It is wonderful to live in the free world. “Kano Sharia Court Sentences Two To Death For […]

Pakistan’s government won’t abolish blasphemy law because it “fears the reaction of extremists”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 25, 2015 01:22 pm
All over the world, the principle is being reinforced: terrorism works. To get what you want, threaten violence, and the “free world” will jump to comply with your wishes. And Archbishop Coutts’ brother bishops in the U.S. are pursuing an illusory and self-defeating “dialogue” even to the extent of silencing those voices that speak honestly […]

Strategies of Denial Revisited (Part I)
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jun 25, 2015 11:10 am
Six years ago I delivered a talk I titled “Strategies of Denial.” As it did not appear at Jihad Watch but at another site, New English Review, many who come here may not have seen it. And since what I noted at that time does not date, I am taking the liberty of reprinting it […]

Are fake virus warnings a new method to disrupt free speech?
By marc on Jun 25, 2015 09:24 am
This has been driving me nuts: Avast, an Anti-Virus product that I have in the past recommended, has been flagging JihadWatch.org as having malware, with warnings such as “Infection Blocked,” “Avast WebShield has blocked a harmful web page or file,” and “A threat has been detected.” Of course, this is not true. There is no virus. […]

By Raymond Ibrahim on Jun 25, 2015 09:07 am
Note: The following represents some of the persecution Christians experienced at the hands of Muslims during the month of April, 2015 alone. After reading this, ask yourself how Western media, politicians, and other foolish talking heads would react if Muslims experienced the same sort and amount of persecution at the hands of Christians or in […]
