By Robert Spencer on Dec 30, 2015 09:17 pm
The Belgian King’s impassioned plea to Belgians to eschew “Islamophobia” appears to have failed, and the poor dears, having been “provoked” and “poked in the eye” beyond endurance, are lashing out with jihad mass murder attacks. “‘Isis terror cell’: Two members arrested in Belgium on suspicion of planning Christmas holiday attacks,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, […]

By Robert Spencer on Dec 30, 2015 07:39 pm
Surprised? Don’t be.

Turkey: Muslims chase Santa Claus, he converts to Islam after discovering it’s a religion of peace
By Robert Spencer on Dec 30, 2015 12:34 pm

Santa Claus, who stands here for Christianity and the Christian West, is debauched, celebrating the birth of Jesus by “wearing red clothes and drinking alcohol.” He is also hostile, thinking Turks are “barbaric,” but when he learns that Islam rejects “barbarism and violence,” […]
