How could they do that, except with one of those weapons that Obama and Kerry assure us they’re never going to get? What were they called again? “Iran Threatens to Destroy Israel in ‘Less Than Eight Minutes,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 23, 2016: A top Iranian commander has claimed that the Islamic […]

Islamic State executioner was refugee in UK who turned to jihad after 17 days of sermons at local mosques
By Robert Spencer on May 23, 2016 03:58 pm
“In a further insult to the UK, Elsheikh was given shelter here aged just five when his Communist supporting parents fled Sudan and claimed asylum.” Very unwise of the British authorities to be taking in Communists, but that is beside the point. “His devastated mother last night disowned her son and revealed how he became […]

Unfortunately for Michel, Belgium and the West, all too many Muslims consider this to be precisely a war between the West and Islam. And the West’s response to this challenge is hamstrung by the refusal to acknowledge that fact. “We are not at war with Islam: Belgian PM,” from Iran’s state-run Ahlul Bayt News Agency, […]

By Robert Spencer on May 23, 2016 02:41 pm
Islamic apologists routinely claim that violent Qur’an verses have no validity beyond Muhammad’s time, but this story illustrates that this is not the mainstream view in Islam.

UK’s Cameron: Trump’s Muslim immigration ban “very dangerous thing to say”
By Robert Spencer on May 23, 2016 01:21 pm
But Cameron said nothing about the danger of letting in large numbers of Muslim immigrants with no possibility of screening out jihadis from among them. That, as far as he is concerned, is no problem at all, and who cares if people die in jihad attacks? “UK’s Cameron says ready to meet Trump, pans ‘very […]

Let’s see. The last time the U.S. armed Libyans, the arms fell into the hands of al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Will it be any different this time? Why, no. “U.S. backs arming new Libyan government to fight Islamic State,” by W.J. Hennigan and Tracy Wilkinson, Los Angeles Times, May 16, 2016: The U.S. government […]
