Pakistan Army chief: terrorism will be eliminated in 2016
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 07:45 pm
Yes, Raheel Sharif is a laughable fantasist, but he isn’t really all that different from all the Western leaders who insist that Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. “2016 to be year of terrorism elimination, says COAS,” News International, January 2, 2016: RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD: The Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), General Raheel Sharif, […]

FBI offers $5,000 reward after bacon found at Las Vegas mosque
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 07:30 pm
What is noteworthy about this story is not — horror of horrors! — the bacon at the mosque. That is obnoxious and stupid, but that’s all it is: no one was hurt, no one was intimidated, no one was threatened. What is noteworthy here is the furious dhimmi overreaction of the FBI. $5,000? For some […]

Islamic State threat prompted New Year’s Eve closings of Munich train stations
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 07:09 pm
The whole world on edge. The Qur’an commands Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60), and the cowed and frightened West is showing that it’s working. “Suicide attack threat prompted Munich train station alert,” by Frederik Pleitgen, Ben Brumfield and Margot Haddad, CNN, January 1, 2016: (CNN)Police in Germany said Friday a […]

France: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” tries to run down soldiers guarding mosque
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 06:51 pm
This was initially reported, predictably enough, as an attack on the mosque itself, as if some greasy Islamophobe had been behind the wheel. The reality is less surprising but more inconvenient for mainstream media mythmaking. “Valencia: a North African shouting ‘Allah Akbar’ rushes 4 military personnel outside the mosque, according to witnesses (update),” translation of […]

Colorado: Muslim workers fired after walking off job over prayer dispute, Hamas-linked CAIR steps in
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 03:05 pm
“There has been a desire among some employees to go in larger groups of people to pray. We just can’t accommodate that. It backs up the flow of all the production. We’re a federally inspected, USDA inspected plant. We have to ensure food safety. We have to ensure the products we produce meet consumer expectations.” […]

Rochester, NY New Year’s jihad mass murder plotter converted to Islam in prison
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 02:25 pm
He was, however, “radicalized” on the Internet, according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo doesn’t appear to consider even for a second the possibility that he could have been “radicalized” in prison by New York State-certified imams. Inconceivable! But shouldn’t the possibility at very least be investigated? “Cuomo: Suspect in Rochester New Year’s Eve […]

Kashmir: Muslim mobs carrying Islamic State flags stone security personnel after Friday prayers
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 02:07 pm
“Over the last few months, stone-pelting and the resultant clashes have become a routine affair on Fridays at Nowhatta after the prayers.” Once again, one might almost get the crazy idea that all this had something to do with Islam, were it not for our betters kindly informing us that it ain’t so. “Violent clashes […]

Jerusalem: Qur’an-toting Muslim teen girl tries to stab Jews, is arrested, tries again two weeks after release
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 01:54 pm
She packed a Qur’an and knives in her backpack. On her second try, she prayed in the Al-Aqsa Mosque before going out to look for someone to stab. It’s a good thing we have John Kerry and David Cameron and the U.S. Catholic Bishops and all the rest of them telling us that this has […]

Video: Muslim murders two, wounds five in Tel Aviv bar, BBC says motive unclear
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 10:33 am
“It was not immediately clear what motivated the shooting.” Seriously? With Muslim clerics exhorting “Palestinians” from mosque pulpits to murder Jews, the BBC can’t find a motive? The denial of the jihad threat has long ago passed the ridiculous stage. “Tel Aviv shooting: Two dead, Israeli police say,” BBC, January 1, 2016: Two people have […]

Turkey’s Erdogan: Hitler’s Germany exemplifies effective presidential system
By Robert Spencer on Jan 01, 2016 10:19 am
It is inconceivable that any Western leader would favorably cite Hitler in any context, but in Turkey, citing Hitler doesn’t bring instant opprobrium. Mein Kampf became a bestseller when it was published there in 2005, and Hitler remains popular. Also, a former classmate says Erdogan used to carry a copy around when he was a […]
