Georgia Muslim gets 15 years for trying to join the Islamic State; wrote “one of my greatest desires is to kill Zionists” By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 06:48 pm
Leon Nathan Davis III is from Jimmy Carter Georgia, not Stalin Georgia. “One of my greatest desires is to kill Zionists and bring down Israel and the United States of America,” he said then. But now he sobs: “I love my country and I am an American.” As Muhammad said, “war is deceit” — or […] Read in browser »
Florida Muslim arrested in Islamic State WMD plot; wanted to “destroy America” and “cook American[s]…in cages” By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 05:31 pm
Harlem Suarez is presumably a convert to Islam. Like many other converts to Islam, he has the idea that his commitment to his new religion requires him to commit treason: “We will destroy America and divide it into two. We will raise our black flag on top of your White House and any president on […] Read in browser »
AFDI’s free speech suit against MBTA heads to the Supreme Court By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 03:54 pm
Our battle to defend and protect the freedom of speech continues, while most Americans have no idea how seriously it is imperiled. “MBTA’s Rejection of Anti-Jihad Ads Heads to Supreme Court,” American Freedom Law Center, July 28, 2015: Yesterday (July 27, 2015), the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC), filed a petition in the U.S. Supreme […] Read in browser »
Raymond Ibrahim: U.S. State Dept. Bars Christians from Testifying about Persecution By Raymond Ibrahim on Jul 28, 2015 03:39 pm
[Muslim Persecution of Christians: May, 2015] During the height of one of the most brutal months of Muslim persecution of Christians, the U.S. State Department exposed its double standards against persecuted Christian minorities. Sister Diana, an influential Iraqi Christian leader, who was scheduled to visit the U.S. to advocate for persecuted Christians in the Mideast, was denied a […] Read in browser »
Fierce fighting between Chadian army and Islamic State in West Africa By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 01:59 pm
Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State last February, and changed its name to the Islamic State in West Africa in April. Now it threatens Chad as well as Nigeria. “Fierce fighting erupts between Chadian army and Boko Haram,” AFP, July 28, 2015: Heavy fighting pitted the Chadian army on Monday against insurgents from […] Read in browser »
Somali jihad-martyrdom bomber held German citizenship By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 01:31 pm
“The official, who wished to remain anonymous, said that the bomber held German and Somali citizenship. Spiegel reports that the man lived in Bonn in North Rhine-Westphalia before returning to Somalia.” He was probably let into Germany as a refugee, and even if he was an adult at the time, no attempt whatsoever was made […] Read in browser »
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Muslim Moderates Rally Against Terror in Ireland! By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 11:02 am
All fifty of them. My latest about Western wishful thinking in FrontPage: Everyone has been waiting for this for years, and at last it has happened. The historic happening took place in Ireland, a nation hitherto not distinguished for standing in the cultural vanguard, but all that will change now, thanks to a rally hosted […] Read in browser »
Obama’s 50 “moderates” trained in $500 million program to fight the Islamic State have disappeared in Syria By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 10:50 am
It’s bad enough that $500 million was wasted on this boondoggle, with Republican Congressional approval. It’s bad enough that this lavishly funded program could only attract fifty “moderates” willing to be trained to fight the Islamic State. But now those fifty have compounded the ludicrousness of this entire endeavor by vanishing in Syria. Did they […] Read in browser »
“Jihadi John” flees the Islamic State By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 10:13 am
Apparently Mohammed Emwazi has gotten too high-profile, too “controversial,” for the Islamic State, so they threw him under the bus. What cowardice. Either they believe what he was doing was right, in which they should have stood by him, or they think what he did was wrong, in which case they should come out and […] Read in browser »
Toronto Jewish community on alert after threats by hooded men taking photos of synagogue By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 09:32 am
Jihadis? Non-Muslim Leftists? No way to be sure at this point, but the scream of “F–k Jews” suggests Islamic anti-Semitism more than just opposition to Israel. However, the hatred of Jews that these men harbor almost certainly derives from “Palestinian” jihad propaganda, which is rooted in the jihad imperative to “drive them out from where […] Read in browser »
Pope Francis appeals for release of two bishops and priest abducted by Muslims in Syria By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 09:13 am
The Pope has said that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence,” so why doesn’t he go to Syria himself and initiate a “dialogue” with the Islamic State, during which he can explain to them how they are misunderstanding the Qur’an and Islam? That will fix […] Read in browser »
“Preach hate against UK and it’s fine – attack halal meat and end up in court” By Robert Spencer on Jul 28, 2015 08:16 am
As Britain rushes to suicide, the black comedy continues: “He maintained he wasn’t motivated by any racial prejudice he just wanted to highlight the cruelty involved.” What race is halal meat? What race is Islam? Does the fact that most Muslim in Britain today are non-white mean that halal meat is not barbaric and doesn’t […] Read in browser »
