My latest in FrontPage: The far-Left rioters who attempted to topple the statue of Andrew Jackson in Washington, DC’s Lafayette Square several weeks almost certainly know nothing whatsoever about him. What they were told in the Antifa […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Muslims enraged at Kanye West for ‘making a mockery’ of Islam by naming shoes after Islamic angels There is nothing wrong with protesting this and registering one’s objection to it. Behind all such protests, however, is the reality of jihad violence. Many Western companies have acceded to these demands and given the protesters what they wanted not because they were worried about boycotts or declining sales, but because of the genuine possibility […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan: Married Muslim with four children kidnaps 15-year-old Christian girl, cops refuse to help victim’s family “Saneha’s family fears that their daughter will be added to the growing number of Christian girls who, after a kidnapping and forced conversion to Islam, are married to Muslims.” In February 2020, Morning Star News reported that “a high court ruling in Pakistan validating the marriage and forced conversion to Islam of a 14-year-old Christian […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Pakistan: Muslims beat teenage Christian girl for refusing to convert to Islam The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Notes On Normalization and That Sale of F-35s Here are some developments connected to the announcement of the agreement between the UAE and Israel to “normalize” relations 1. Someone in the Emirates – a proud parent, perhaps? – has posted a video of a young Emirati girl playing the Israeli national anthem, “Hatikva.” It is being interpreted hopefully – by both Emiratis and […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Hugh Fitzgerald India: Muslim rapes 10-year-old girl who is forced to marry him, then he divorces her Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam by Muhammad’s example. The rape doesn’t matter; any guilt the rapist thereby incurs is expiated by the marriage itself. And divorce of prepubescent girls is provided for in the Qur’an: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their period is three […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Philippines: Muslims murder 14 people in jihad suicide bombings in front of grocery store and computer shop These attacks happen so often, in so many countries around the world, that most people are inured to them. They’re just the way things are. That’s one of the main reasons why they keep happening. “Twin bombs in Philippines kill at least 14, blamed on Islamic State-linked rebels,” Associated Press, August 24, 2020: Muslim militants […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Austria: Muslim migrant attacks Jewish leader with baseball bat The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. The Jews in the Qur’an are called the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer Leading Saudi Journalist Defends the UAE-Israel Agreement (Part 2) In yesterday’s article about Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed, we saw that the senior Saudi journalist believes that the Palestinians should be free of attempts by Arab states to dictate what they “must” do. Similarly, he thinks that the policies of Arab states should not be held in thrall to what the Palestinians want, but should be […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Hugh Fitzgerald Muslim offers Christians $1,000 to convert to Islam, $6,000 for a whole family Mian Kashif Zameer Chohadary is getting indignant responses to his video, but it really isn’t anything out of the ordinary at all. The whole superstructure of dhimmitude in Islamic law is designed to make sure that Christians and other non-Muslims engage in “willing submission” to the Muslims and “feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29). They are […] Read more 2020-08-25  •  Robert Spencer David Horowitz Freedom Center P.O. Box 55089, Sherman Oaks California 91499-1964 United States
