France: Islamic State-inspired Muslim who beheaded boss found dead in cell
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 10:58 pm
The death has been ruled a suicide. Did Yassin Salhi realize he had given his life over to the service of evil? Or was he just anxious to meet the houris? “ISIS-inspired Frenchman who beheaded his boss is found dead in jail cell,” by Sasha Goldstein, New York Daily News, December 22, 2015: One less […]

French police foil jihad terror attack in Orleans
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 07:58 pm
Europe’s new normal. There will be many, many more such plots, many, many more such attacks, until they become a daily occurrence. Europe’s solution? Bring in huge numbers of Muslim refugees, among whom there are certain to be more jihad killers. “French police foil terrorist attack in Orleans: Interior Minister,” Reuters, December 22, 2015: Toulouse, […]

Pennsylvania: Muslim teen indicted for aiding the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 07:50 pm
“Aziz pledged allegiance to ISIS in June 2014, agents said, and made online threats to kill non-Muslims and to behead President Obama in the White House. He also discussed buying women held captive by ISIS.” Not, certainly, from his local moderate mosque! But don’t be concerned: no doubt John Kerry and the U.S. Conference of […]

By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 07:31 pm
An Appeals Court wisely strikes down a longstanding attempt by the federal government to do what it should never be doing: deciding what is acceptable speech and what isn’t. “Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Finds First Amendment Applies to Trademarks and Rules that ‘Disparaging’ Cannot Be Used to Deny Expressive Trademarks Like ‘Stop Islamisation of […]

Saudis shut down camel urine shop: owner was selling his own urine
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 12:21 pm
Some hadiths depict Muhammad touting the medicinal benefits of drinking camel urine. This one also shows him in his full compassionate, merciful glory: “The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they […]

University of San Diego prof, students protest “Islamophobia” by wearing yellow Jewish stars labeled “Muslim”
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 12:06 pm
The implication here is that “anti-Muslim rhetoric” — that is, public discussion of the jihad threat and what can be done about it — leads inexorably to the demonization of Muslims and ultimately to genocide. This is ridiculous, overheated rhetoric that only hinders the prospects of any genuine discussion of the salient issues, and that […]

Algerian Army marching drill: Kill, slaughter, and skin the Jews
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 11:44 am
Pamela Geller‘s observation is apposite: “This video gives the lie to the idea that the “Palestinian” conflict is all about land. If it were, Algeria, far away geographically from Israel, wouldn’t consider the Jews its prime enemy. This video also shows how relentlessly Jew-hatred is inculcated into people in Muslim countries: the young men marching […]

Video: Ex-Muslim compares “Islamophobia” to the persecution of ex-Muslims in Muslim countries
By Robert Spencer on Dec 22, 2015 11:24 am
“Islam silences us in the East by threatening some of us, arresting some, persecuting others, and killing apostates, but in the West Islam is trying to silence us using this weird term: Islamophobia. Islam is a set of doctrines, we have the right to criticize it like any other doctrine, it’s a set of ideas […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: People Are The Same The Whole World Over
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Dec 22, 2015 11:13 am
Nine years ago I wrote about President Bush’s dreams of creating a Light Unto the Muslim Nations in Iraq (you may remember that $2 trillion dollar, decade-long campaign in Iraq, and how wonderfully it all turned out): “The sentimentalist in the White House contents himself with bromides about how people everywhere ‘love freedom’ and that […]
