What happens after Islamic conquest?
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2018 02:44 pm
Constantinople fell to the warriors of jihad on May 29, 1453. Usually after reporting that, Western historians turn their attention away. But in my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I detail what happened next. The Byzantine scholar Bessarion wrote to the Doge of Venice two months after the conquest, in […]

Pakistan: Muslim candidate for National Assembly says it is forbidden in Islam to vote for women
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2018 01:19 pm
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and […]

Facebook flags Declaration of Independence as “hate speech”
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2018 12:38 pm
This highlights the authoritarianism of Facebook’s speech police. Facebook routinely flags posts that are critical of jihad terror and Sharia oppression as “hate speech”; in February 2017, referrals to Jihad Watch from Facebook dropped by 90% in a single day and have never recovered. The “hate speech” label is a tool of powerful in order […]

Sweden: Man fined $342 for posting satirical cartoon about child marriage in Islam on Facebook
By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2018 12:01 pm
“The district court is of the opinion that the speech expresses a clear contempt for people of the Muslim creed. It implies that Muslims would generally be pedophiles and that pedophilia would be part of the religion of Islam.” How would anyone get such an idea? Maybe from the fact, as recorded in Islamic tradition, […]

By Robert Spencer on Jul 05, 2018 11:20 am
It appears as if Swedish authorities are determined to ensure that Sweden commits national and cultural suicide, as aren’t going to allow anything to turn them from this determination. “Dental hygienist Bernt Herlitz loses in Labor Court – convicted and must pay half a million,” translated from “Tandhygienisten Bernt Herlitz förlorar i Arbetsdomstolen – döms […]

The Two Faces of Suhaib Webb
By Noor al-Amriki on Jul 05, 2018 10:12 am
Some people in this world are very good at playing the game. Some people are unbelievably talented at presenting themselves in the exact way that draws as much positive attention, while making the very idea of negative attention anathema to those that idolize them. A simpler way of saying this might be to say that […]

Hugh Fitzgerald: How the Media Reported Trump v. Hawaii
By Hugh Fitzgerald on Jul 05, 2018 09:59 am
The reporters did themselves proud. Start with a visit to a Muslim neighborhood. Interview a proud new Muslim-American and presumed Striver, who is now overcome with sadness at the cruel news, and then go from there, interviewing other Muslims who are “just as devastated” by the decision in Trump v. Hawaii: Ali Alsubai got the […]

Professor: Sharia Marriage is No Bed of Roses for Women
By Andrew Harrod on Jul 05, 2018 09:32 am
Contemporary Islamic apologists such as Georgetown University Professor John Esposito, his protégé Dahlia Mogahed, and political activist Linda Sarsour constantly whitewash sharia as benign and pro-women. In this context, Georgetown University law Professor Lama Abu-Odeh provides a refreshingly critical outlook on sharia and women, as shown by her June 21 discussion of sharia at Washington, […]
