Former Indonesian President: Pay Muslims to stop being jihad terrorists
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2016 01:42 am
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is working from the assumption that poverty causes terrorism. The New York Times reported in March that “not long after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001…Alan B. Krueger, the Princeton economist, tested the widespread assumption that poverty was a key factor in the making of a terrorist. Mr. Krueger’s analysis of economic […]

Australia to cancel citizenships of up to 110 Muslims who’ve joined the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Apr 08, 2016 01:05 am
Common sense. All Western states should do this. Those Muslims from the West who go to fight with the Islamic State have declared war on their home countries. They are not citizens of them; they are citizens of the umma. All Western states should do this, but few if any will follow Australia’s lead. “Citizenships […]

UK: Muslim medical student was recruiter for the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 10:05 pm
“In 2008, he began his studies in medicine at the University of Medical Sciences and Technology (UMST) in Khartoum, Sudan.” What? But John Kerry and Marie Harf and so many others tell us that poverty and lack of opportunity cause terrorism. How did this young medical student get interested in jihad? “It was during his […]

No notion of superiority among men or women in Islam, says Pakistan’s first lady
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 09:49 pm
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and […]

Egypt: Muslim cleric calls Christians “criminal, aggressive, and oppressive”
By Raymond Ibrahim on Apr 07, 2016 04:44 pm
Dr. Yassir al-Burhami, Egypt’s premiere Salafi, was once again videotaped inciting hate for and violence against the nation’s Christians, the Copts—including by decrying the notion of giving them their full human and civil rights: “When you cooperate with a criminal, aggressive, oppressive, infidel minority, you attack the rights of the majority [Muslims].” He went on […]

Raymond Ibrahim: Revive Clear Thinking and the Jihad Dies
By Raymond Ibrahim on Apr 07, 2016 04:42 pm
Because it is my field of study, one would expect I’d have much to say immediately after jihadi attacks of the sort that recently occurred in Brussels (35 killed), or San Bernardino (14 killed), or Paris (130). Ironically, I don’t: such attacks are ultimately symptoms of what I do deem worthy of discussion, namely, root […]

Russian prof becomes “fascinated with Islam,” takes family to the Islamic State
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 12:36 pm
Where did Andrey Karasik get the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam? Everyone knows that’s completely false. Maybe John Kerry or Pope Francis could send someone over to the Islamic State to try to find poor Karasik and explain the true, peaceful Islam to him. “University professor fascinated with […]

Sweden: Muslim bought components for Boston-style pressure cooker bomb
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 12:15 pm
He wanted to join the Islamic State but was prevented. So apparently he decided to wage jihad in Sweden. I’ve warned many times that Muslims from European countries (and the U.S.) who are prevented from going to Iraq and Syria may decide to kill Infidels at home — and here we are. “Trainee Teacher Bought […]

Paris: Police arrest “lonewolf gunman” after shots fired
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 12:02 pm
Reports aren’t clear, so it is possible that this “lonewolf gunman” is not an Islamic jihadist, but that is unlikely. Nor is it likely that he is really in any genuine sense a “lone wolf”; rather, he is almost certainly a warrior of the global jihad. The “gunmen” who are plaguing France these days are […]

SFSU students shout down Jerusalem Mayor: “Long live the intifada!”
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 11:37 am
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!” — that is, Israel must be completely destroyed. “Long live the intifada!” — that is, they approve of the numerous recent stabbings of Israeli citizens by “Palestinian” Muslims. Here is yet more fascist opposition to the freedom of speech on a U.S. campus. “San Francisco […]

Islamic State kidnaps over 300 Syrian workers
By Robert Spencer on Apr 07, 2016 11:17 am
The Syrian cement company workers must have done something to provoke the poor dears, right? Maybe they drew Muhammad in the cement? Surely they must have done something to poke them in the eye. Or is the West going to have to admit at some point that the Islamic State wants to terrorize non-Muslims for […]
