Circumstantial Evidence
APRIL 22, 2015 10:50 AM BY JOSEPH ZAALISHVILI4 COMMENTS
It’s strange, but I, like probably many freedom fighters, have to prove to the left and liberals that Islam is violent. This is so even though every day many Muslims try to prove it by committing acts of terrorism, killing and torturing innocent people just because they are not followers of Islam. For me, it […]
SC Muslim teen, Islamic State supporter, plotted to murder U.S. soldiers
APRIL 22, 2015 12:16 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER18 COMMENTS
The cognitive dissonance is enormous. We are constantly told, and the mainstream media and political elites reinforce it daily (as it is so weak it needs reinforcing), that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. All the Muslim groups in the U.S. condemn it — and yet there is a steady stream of […]

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: The Brownshirts Are Back. And They’re In Our Universities.
APRIL 21, 2015 1:41 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER34 COMMENTS
Over at PJ Media, I ask why we must keep repeating the mistakes of history. It is not news that virtually all American universities are decidedly leftist institutions. Few Americans, however, are aware of how inhospitable they have become to free inquiry and free discourse, and how hostile they are to anyone who stands up […]

APRIL 22, 2015 10:47 AM BY RAYMOND IBRAHIM1 COMMENT
On the Ethiopians who were killed in Libya, and why we should expect more to come. NRO note: This weekend ISIS released a new video showing some 30 Ethiopian Christian men being beheaded in Libya for refusing to convert to Islam (or to pay a tax for refusing to do so).

AFDI free speech victory: NYC MTA must run ad about Islamic Jew-hatred
APRIL 21, 2015 9:13 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER29 COMMENTS
It is good that we keep winning these free speech battles. It is not so good that we have to fight them at all: it indicates how poorly the importance of the freedom of speech is understood today, and how much public officials take for granted as axiomatically true what is actually the libeling of […]
Pentagon denies that Islamic State’s caliph has been wounded
APRIL 21, 2015 1:59 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER22 COMMENTS
So the claim that he has been wounded turns out to be yet another false report from the mainstream media — doubtless a projection of their wishful thinking, since the Islamic State is so very inconvenient to them, posing a daily challenge to their narrative that Islam is a Religion of Peace that has been […]
