By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 11:52 am
In the U.S., if you don’t think a mosque is an exact equivalent to a church or a synagogue, you’re a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Meanwhile, in January in Russia, an imam was arrested as weapons and explosives were found in his mosque.

By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 10:54 am
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (Qur’an 5:82).

UK columnist: Labour’s Jew-hatred is cynical bid for Muslim votes
By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 10:39 am
I’m sure this is true of many in the Labour Party, but it is also clear that among at least some Labour politicians, their Jew-hatred is sincere and deeply felt. In any case, this is the new Britain. This Jew-hatred in the Labour Party is a scandal today; tomorrow it will be taken for granted, […]

UK: Muslim Labour Party pol says Israelis “drink Gaza’s blood”
By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 09:48 am
Aziz was suspended, but only after his vile propaganda came to light.

And as soon as this media firestorm dies down, they will do nothing about it again. “UK Labour politician says Israelis ‘drink […]

By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 09:21 am
Mubashir Jamil has been prevented from traveling to Syria. So what if he decides to wage jihad right in Luton or elsewhere in Britain? If he does, British authorities will congratulate themselves that at least they always hounded and persecuted counter-jihadis, and so cannot be considered “racist.” “Luton man appears in court over Syria ‘violent […]

Florida: Muslim plotted to bomb synagogue during Passover
By Robert Spencer on May 02, 2016 05:28 am
Yet another convert to Islam somehow gets the idea that his religion commands him to commit acts of violence and hate Jews. Is anyone looking into who converted this man, and where? “Sources: FBI foils terror attack at Aventura synagogue; 1 arrested,” WSVN, May 1, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller): AVENTURA, Fla. (WSVN) — Federal […]
