Orlando jihad mass murderer “quite religious,” regularly attended mosque
By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2016 09:56 pm
The single factor that unifies virtually all jihad terrorists — devout observance in Islam — is the one most commonly discounted and dismissed by mainstream analysts.

Trump: Obama should resign, Hillary withdraw over refusal to say “Radical Islam”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 12, 2016 07:05 pm
Jihad killing is not “radical” but mainstream in Islam: all the mainstream sects and schools of jurisprudence teach the responsibility of the Muslim community to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers.
