DECEMBER 20, 2014 1:14 PM BY ROBERT SPENCERLEAVE A COMMENT

New York legislator gets Islamic State-style threat
DECEMBER 20, 2014 10:01 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER9 COMMENTS
The Arabic writing above “Aaron Wieder” says “Harun,” which is Aaron in Arabic and suggests that the threatener was not just someone who saw the Islamic State beheadings on the news and thought they were cool. This could be a genuine jihad threat, or it could be someone who thinks it is fun to terrorize […]

Al-Ghamdi is actually correct when he says: “No one is saying that it is not allowed for a woman to cover her face, but I am saying that it is not obligatory and I have evidence in jurisprudence of this.” A hadith has Aisha recount that Muhammad said to a woman: “‘O Asma’, when a […]
North Carolina public high school proselytizing for Islam in vocabulary lessons
DECEMBER 19, 2014 6:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER60 COMMENTS
“We discovered that the vocabulary lesson was taken directly from a state-adopted supplemental workbook published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.” This kind of thing is happening all over the country — partly because national textbook companies are promoting this proselytizing material.

“The Gaza war left more than 2,100 Palestinians dead, according to Palestinian and U.N. officials. On the Israeli side, 66 soldiers and six civilians were killed.” The mainstream media routinely repeats those casualty figures, which are dubious anyway (“according to Palestinian and U.N. officials” is your tipoff for that), in order to imply that the […]
Islamic State releases graphic images of man’s hand being amputated for theft
DECEMBER 20, 2014 12:10 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER11 COMMENTS
The purpose of releasing such images is twofold: it “strikes terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), and it demonstrates to Muslims that the Islamic State is carrying out Islamic law in its fullness, including this: “The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they […]

DECEMBER 19, 2014 8:04 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER55 COMMENTS
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” So said Barack Obama at the UN on September 25, 2012. Why did he say this? Because he was blaming a video about Muhammad for the murderous jihad attacks on September 11, 2012 in Benghazi. In that same speech, he called the […]

Pakistan grants bail to Mumbai jihad massacre mastermind
DECEMBER 19, 2014 3:44 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER23 COMMENTS
“The order came just a day after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said there would be no differentiation between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ Taliban.” Which side is Pakistan on? That’s obvious. And they’ve got the jizya train rolling in from Washington to bankroll them. “Pakistan court grants bail to Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, man behind 26/11,” Express News […]
