Would Asif Masood have received this leniency if he had announced that he had converted to Christianity? Of course not. But probably what clinched the deal for him was that he claimed that he had been subjected to “harassment and threats.” In today’s Abject Britannia, that is the gold standard. Asif Masood has suffered from […]
Austria passes law on Islam, banning foreign funding and requiring imams to speak German
FEBRUARY 25, 2015 3:34 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER21 COMMENTS
“We want a future in which increasing numbers of imams have grown up in Austria speaking German, and can in that way serve as positive examples for young Muslims.” Are they unable to recruit for jihad in German? This measure is largely cosmetic, but at least it is something, rather than nothing at all, which […]
UK: 27% of Muslims have “some sympathy for the motives behind the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris”
FEBRUARY 25, 2015 2:12 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER31 COMMENTS
These polls are of only limited value, as people generally tell pollsters what they want to hear.

“The plan would promote an Islam ‘faithful to the values of the Republic,’ Cazeneuve said.” Good luck with that, Cazeneuve. There has never been such an Islam. Will you and Dalil Boubakeur be able to invent it? Let’s just say you will face stiff opposition. “French Govt Unveils a Plan to Promote Dialogue With Muslims,” […]
FBI: NY jihadis “violated the true tenants of their faith”
FEBRUARY 25, 2015 2:55 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER50 COMMENTS
“The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Diego Rodriguez. They violated some tenants?
