Mateen checked Facebook during his jihad massacre to see if he was trending
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 09:49 pm
Omar Mateen seems to have been quite concerned about his place in jihadi history, and relaxed enough about the length of time he had before law enforcement showed up that he had time to check Facebook and call his jihadi wife. More on this story. “Orlando gay nightclub gunman Omar Mateen searched ‘Pulse Orlando,’ ‘shooting’ […]

By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 06:03 pm
The Obamoid FBI is apparently much more worried about “Islamophobia” than potential jihad mass murder. “Orlando gunman Omar Mateen watched ISIS beheading videos, sources say,” by Michael Isikoff and Jason Sickles, Yahoo News, June 15, 2016: FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Omar Mateen watched Islamic State terrorist videos — including some showing brutal beheadings — and […]

2013: Orlando jihadi threatened to kill sheriff & his family, FBI dismissed threat
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 05:43 pm
Is there anything the clueless and compromised Obamoid FBI would deem worthy of investigation as a jihad terror threat? “2013: Orlando Terrorist Threatened To Kill Fla. Sheriff And His Family, FBI Dismissed Threat,” by Christian Datoc, Daily Caller, June 17, 2016: In 2013, Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen allegedly threatened to kill a Fla. sheriff’s deputy and […]

Wife of Orlando jihad mass murderer, who knew about attack, has fled
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 05:28 pm
She knew about his plans to commit jihad mass murder and did not alert authorities. He called her during the attack and, while he was in the act of murdering Infidels, told him she loved him. She should have been arrested immediately. Now she has fled. Her Taliban-supporting father-in-law almost certainly knows where she is, […]

NY Times’ David Brooks: Find out how much jihad has to do with Islam by reading…The Varieties of Religious Experience
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 03:30 pm
David Brooks writes: “How much is religion involved in jihadism, or psychology, or politics?…For clarity on that question, it helps to start with William James’s classic work, ‘The Varieties of Religious Experience.'” I might have suggested a different book. How about the Qur’an? When one opens the Qur’an to answer the question “how much is […]

Paul Ryan threatens to sue Donald Trump if he tries to enact temporary ban on Muslim immigration
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 03:06 pm
Paul Ryan and the Republican establishment seem determined to do two things: to elect Hillary Clinton President of the United States this November, and to make sure that nothing impedes the huge influx of Muslim migrants into the U.S. Yet San Bernardino shooter Tashfeen Malik had passed five separate background checks from five separate US […]

New York Times: Only “fringe interpretations of Islam” justify violence, “mainstream majority view is peaceful”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 02:32 pm
Max Fisher, now of the New York Times, here spends 1,764 words purportedly to explain what the phrase “radical Islam” means and why it is controversial, and devotes nary a single one of them to exploring the Qur’an, or the teachings and example of Muhammad, or the doctrines of the various schools of Islamic jurisprudence […]

Is the Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi dead (again)?
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 11:43 am
“ISIS have been accused of covering up the death of its talismanic leader in a desperate bid to prevent morale collapsing among its fighters.” Maybe the caliph is dead. But he has been severely wounded and/or dead before: Islamic State’s caliph al-Baghdadi said to be severely injured, flees to Syria July 5, 2014 Several months […]

Video: Robert Spencer on the global outbreak of mental illness
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 07:59 am
In this new video, I expose how mainstream media and law enforcement officials consistently mischaracterize and dismiss Islamic jihad attacks as manifestations of mental illness. I taped this just days before the Orlando jihad massacre, but it applies to Omar Mateen as well, as he has been widely described in mainstream media reports as mentally […]

“We need more Orlando’s”: Craigslist ad praises 9/11, tells San Diego gays “You’re next”
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 07:25 am
A threat of mass murder couched as an imperative of moral cleansing. That’s classic jihad rhetoric. As far as Islamic jihadis are concerned, homosexual activity is wrong, but mass murder of gays is a righteous act that is pleasing to Allah. “Craigslist ad threatens Orlando-style massacre in San Diego,” by Emily Thode and Melissa Mecija, […]

Iran files lawsuit against US at International Court of Justice in the Hague
By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 07:12 am
Hizballah is Iran’s proxy and has been since its inception, so the court ruling is entirely justified. But Iran, knowing that the Obama administration hastens to do its bidding, is pressing that advantage in every way it can. “President Rouhani: Iran Files Lawsuit against US at Hague,” Iran’s Fars News Agency, June 16, 2016 (thanks […]

By Robert Spencer on Jun 17, 2016 07:01 am

My latest in FrontPage: Judicial Watch reported Wednesday that police in a New Mexico border town arrested a woman they described as an “Islamic refugee” who was “in possession of the region’s gas pipeline plans.” This was, it said, the latest in “a number of stories in the […]
