Video: Obama calls for “rejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 04:16 pm
OK, great. But what about the Muslims who equate Islam with terror? Obama called on Muslims to reject “those who distort Islam to preach intolerance and promote violence.” So when he is going to call upon mosques and Muslim organizations in the U.S. to back up their condemnations of the Islamic State with genuine programs […]

Bethlehem monastery torched by Islamic jihadists
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 03:07 pm
Why did the Muslims torch the monastery? Were the monks drawing cartoons of Muhammad? Did they “talk about extreme, militant Islamists” in a way that “undercut the positive achievements that…Catholics have attained in…inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims”? Or were they targeted merely for the crime of being Christians, as jihadis will eventually target every Christian […]

Putin to those who supported “Arab Spring” in Middle East: “Do you realize what you have done?”
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 02:47 pm
“Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?” No, they don’t realize what they have done, and […]

New U.S. Army patch for fight against the Islamic State closely resembles Muslim Brotherhood logo
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 02:34 pm
That’s fitting in Barack Obama’s America, since he so indefatigably aided the Brotherhood when they took power in Egypt and continued to do so even after they were toppled, and since the Brotherhood is a chief competitor to the Islamic State in wanting to establish a caliphate of its own. It’s also a fitting symbol […]

Islamic State jihadis deride “coconuts”: Muslims who participated in interfaith activities with Pope
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 02:16 pm
Given the nature of the Islamic State, this condemnation must be seen as a death threat. In any case, it indicates why we don’t see more sincere Islamic reformers: their lives are threatened by hardliners. And the cartoon of the Islamic State slashing the “Coexist” symbol is a candent illustration of the futility and fatuousness […]

Russia, Iraq, Syria, and Iran to share intelligence about the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 11:32 am
Obama and the French and the others in the Western coalition are merely carrying out cosmetic strikes against the Islamic State. Russia is now acting with Iran and its client regimes in Baghdad and Damascus to do something genuine to fight the Islamic State.

Afghanistan: Islamic jihadists murder nine with attack on sports match
By Robert Spencer on Sep 28, 2015 08:16 am
Accounts differ as to whether what was being played was volleyball, cricket or soccer. Probably they were murdered because they were so impious as to be playing a game instead of devoting themselves to serving Allah. “Afghan militants attack sports match in Paktika,” BBC, September 28, 2015: At least nine people have been killed in […]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Should Not Be President
By Andrew Harrod on Sep 28, 2015 07:36 am
“Sharia law is for Muslims. So if there is a Muslim majority state then it has to be run by Sharia,” stated basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with surprisingly little public controversy in a September 23 interview. This statement and other elements from Abdul-Jabbar’s biography only accentuated reservations concerning a Muslim president recently raised by Ben […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Obama Throws Christian Refugees to Lions
By Raymond Ibrahim on Sep 28, 2015 07:28 am
The fate of those Iraqi Christians who had fled from the Islamic State only to be incarcerated in the United States has finally been decided by the Obama administration: they are to be thrown back to the lions, where they will likely be persecuted if not slaughtered like so many Iraqi Christians before them. Fifteen […]
