The Difference Donald Trump Has Made Donald Trump is so passionately loved — and fanatically hated — partly because he has changed the course of the United States, both domestically and internationally, for the first time since before World War II. Some believe that he has upset the world order that has prevented a third world war, and risks plunging the […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer The Jihad Terrorist in New York City You Heard Nothing About My latest in PJ Media: While the New York Police Department zealously guards Mayor de Blasio’s infamous “Black Lives Matter” street graffiti in front of Trump Tower, other, more serious endeavors continue that, if the city had a rational mayor, might actually have a better claim on the NYPD’s time and resources. Those include Islamic […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer India: Muslim cleric rapes 9-year-old girl, her family pressured to drop legal complaint and marry her to him Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Virginia: Islamic scholar serving life sentence for recruiting for jihad ordered released while he pursues appeal “Al-Timimi argued that prosecutors overstated his influence with those who traveled to Pakistan, and that he was punished for unpopular speech rather than criminal conduct.” Interesting defense. It may have been true in 2005 that jihad recruitment was “unpopular speech,” but nowadays Leftists would cheer al-Timimi on. The real “unpopular speech” today is opposition to […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Australia: Despite police crackdown, Muslim network openly spreads jihad ideology, may recruit for jihad groups This jihadi network received unfavorable attention from the media and police years ago, yet it is still operating. Australian officials’ failure to implement a zero tolerance policy has enabled it to continue its activity. As long as this official diffidence continues, these jihadist organizations will inevitably proliferate further, while continue to intimidate anyone who warns […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Pakistan establishing diplomatic missions in Africa amid ‘rising radical Islamic terrorism’ Pakistan has been playing a double game and it is doing it again. The country has long been known as a sponsor of jihad terror activity; its new alliances in Africa are a cause for concern, given recent trends in many African countries. Ever since the fall of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Christine Douglass-Williams UK: Three former cops investigated over inquiry into Muslim rape gangs that failed over fear of ‘racism’ accusations These police officers are just fall guys. They’re not responsible for the political culture that made authorities cower in fear of being smeared with charges of “racism” and “Islamophobia” for doing anything about these predators. In Rotherham, British officials “described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought as racist; […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer Turkey: People smugglers advertise fake ‘cruises’ on Facebook, offering to ship migrants to Italy for $6500 The hijra into Europe continues. Even during the coronavirus lockdown, hordes of illegal Muslim migrants have arrived in Britain from France via the English Channel. Migrants have also swarmed into Italy and overwhelmed the Island of Lampedusa. And who is to blame? Western globalist leaders who were voted in by people who were and largely […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Christine Douglass-Williams Is Sudan Next? After the United Arab Emirates’s agreement both to recognize Israel and to normalize relations with it, there has been much excited talk about which Arab state would be the first to follow suit. Bahrain, Oman, Sudan, Morocco have all been mentioned. In mid-August, most bets were on Bahrain, or seemed to be; a week later, […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Massachusetts: Muslim migrant gets 18 months for keeping classified documents pertaining to US missile defense What did he plan to do with this material? No one would have dreamed of questioning whether Ahmedelhadi Yassin Serageldin should really have the security clearance that allowed him access to these documents in the first place. That would have been “Islamophobic.” “Engineer gets prison for illegally keeping defense secrets,” Associated Press, July 23, 2020 […] Read more 2020-08-20  •  Robert Spencer
