The invasion of Europe and America By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 08:04 pm
“What are Muslims fleeing? Shariah law?” Good question. “The invasion of Europe and America,” by Pamela Geller, WND, August 23, 2015: Europe is on the verge of descending into utter chaos. Reuters reported that “thousands of migrants stormed across Macedonia’s border on Saturday, overwhelming security forces who threw stun grenades and lashed out with batons […] Read in browser »
Islamic State desecrates saint’s bones after bulldozing 1,600-year-old church By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 07:29 pm
Saint Elian, also known as Saint Julian of Emesa, was a Christian who was martyred in 284AD. But the Islamic State, over 1,800 years later, wants to make sure his bones don’t tempt anyone to idolatry. More on this story. “ISIS dig up and desecrate saint’s bones after bulldozing 1,600-year-old Christian church,” by Nick Gutteridge, […] Read in browser »
Islamic State blows up temple in Syria’s Palmyra By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 07:06 pm
Besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to destroy the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that the destroyed remnants of ancient non-Muslim civilizations are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: Many were the Ways of Life […] Read in browser »
France train attack shows impossibility of tracking all Islamic jihadis By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 06:58 pm
There are many more Islamic jihadis than authorities like to admit, as they like to pretend that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and to ignore and downplay the appeal that the Islamic State has for so many young Muslims in the West. Certainly the Islamic State is trying to overwhelm law […] Read in browser »
France train jihadi was “very devout” Muslim, father shocked by attack By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 04:41 pm
His father is shocked! shocked! that his boy could have done such a thing, but a neighbor gives a clue: “He and his brother were very devout; they dressed like Afghans and all that, but I can’t believe this.” Then there is the local mosque where he was a “regular.” Has anyone looked into what […] Read in browser »
France train jihadi who trained in Islamic State “dumbfounded” by terror accusations By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 04:16 pm
War is deceit, said Muhammad, and it looks as if Ayoub El Khazzani has taken those words to heart. He says he just happened upon a rifle (what a surprise!) and decided to commit a robbery, which apparently he planned to do by shooting people first and then leisurely relieving the corpses of their valuables.

Islamic State has Damascus in its crosshairs By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 03:41 pm
“For the most part, fighting in areas of Damascus has not reached the downtown section, though it does spill over there on occasion. That happened last Thursday, when a mortar shell landed in the heart of Damascus, killing six inhabitants.” “Islamic State has Damascus in its crosshairs,” by Avi Issacharoff, Times of Israel, August 22, […] Read in browser »
Islamic State ambushes, kills up to 50 Iraq troops By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 03:30 pm
Nothing to be concerned about: “The operations in Anbar are going according to plans…” Did al-Karhout get that line from the Pentagon? In any case, in other news, “in Baghdad, three separate bombings killed at least eight people and wounded 23.” Good thing the Islamic State is losing, as Obama and other Western officials assure […] Read in browser »
Iran’s Supremo: U.S., Israel conspiring against the Qur’an By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 10:50 am
Obama hardest hit. After all his pandering to Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic groups in the U.S., all his fantastic praise of the nonexistent Muslim role in building the United States, all his appeasement and accommodation of Iran, this is what he gets. “Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urges Islamic unity against real enemies: U.S. and Israel,” by […] Read in browser »
Hamas-linked CAIR: Denial of service over hijab sign of “fossilized policies” By Robert Spencer on Aug 23, 2015 08:35 am
“Citing the reason for the action, the company known as Advance America said it requires all customers to remove any hoods, hats, sunglasses and other head coverings as part of its safety policy.” But safety must fall by the wayside, you see. Concern for safety is a “fossilized” policy. Advance American needs to come up […] Read in browser »
