Islamic State executes eight people, crucifies their dead bodies
By Robert Spencer on Apr 04, 2016 07:19 pm

By Robert Spencer on Apr 04, 2016 02:36 pm
This footage went far and wide (warning: it’s graphic), and was trumpeted everywhere, as you can see below, as evidence of “Islamophobia.” And so yet again we see that an “anti-Muslim hate crime” was perpetrated by…a Muslim.
