Why Is Donald Trump Doing This?
I have never met Donald Trump, and probably never will, but I have known him all my life.
I have never met Donald Trump, and probably never will, but I have known him all my life.
As a movement today the Left is frankly authoritarian, intolerant of dissent, and increasingly intent on demonizing and destroying its opponents, rather than engaging them in rational debate.
Hate crime is a booming business in America today: both Leftists and their Muslim allies are making as much of use of hate crimes as they possibly can in order to discredit President Trump and his supporters, as well as foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression, as racist, redneck, violent yahoos who deserve no place in the public square.
We can only hope that with the departure of these failed State Department officials, their failed policies will be swept out along with them.
Our long national nightmare didn’t end on January 20.
The Left is increasingly authoritarian, increasingly determined to suppress all opposing points of view, and increasingly sold out to the jihad force.
On January 6 at St. Mary’s Cathedral, the Scottish Episcopal Church’s cathedral in Glasgow, a passage of the Qur’an was read out denying that Jesus is the Son of God, a core tenet of Christianity.
The Mirror reported Sunday that the Muslim who “gunned down 39 people and injured 69 with a machine gun in an Istanbul nightclub ‘screamed Allahu Akbar’ during massacre.”
Christmas takes place today amid heightened security all over Europe and North America. And this year’s tense and nervous Christmas is just the beginning: get used to it, because Christmas is going to be like this for many years to come.
The establishment media has been running a series of stories since the election with the not-so-hidden subtext that Trump’s policies regarding Muslims will only make the global jihad worse.
The Daily Caller reported Thursday that “the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) considers the Orlando nightclub shooting, an ISIS-inspired attack that left 49 dead, a right-wing plot, along with the shootings of police officers by anti-white terrorists.”
This latest jihad attack on American soil vindicates President-elect Trump on Muslim immigration.
Fidel Castro is finally dead, and the old despot has left us with a parting gift: another demonstration of just how out of touch the American Left really is.
The “Hamilton” fiasco, with self-righteous Leftist cast members of the hit Broadway show berating Vice President-elect Mike Pence from the stage, brought to mind another New York event from 44 years ago, when entertainers – at least some of them – had a vastly different idea of their place in American culture.
[the_ad id=”81586″] Robert Spencer here. Pamela asked me to contribute a Bob Dylan post for tonight’s Friday Night Music entry, in honor of his Nobel Prize for Literature, and since Bob Dylan lyrics are essentially the Greek chorus for my life, I am happy to oblige. One of the ironies of this Nobel Prize selection,…
These tweets are shocking. I fell off my chair. Of course, the great irony here is this: who has done more to corrupt both morally and intellectually the subject matter of the jihad doctrine and the real root causes of the jihad threat? Who is been more of a disgrace than the high-minded and elite…
A Muslim stabbed ten non-Muslims in a Minnesota mall, and you know what that means as far as the mainstream media is concerned: Muslims are victims. Hamas-linked CAIR has been quick to claim victim status, whining about an anti-Muslim “backlash” that seldom, if ever, materializes after Islamic jihad attacks. And Minnesota’s governor is calling for…
UPDATE from Pamela Geller: “I have, for some time, been aware of the sleazy, fraudulent behavior of the Shoebats. Their material is unreliable and, in many cases, untrue. Their attacks and false accusations against other counter jihadists (myself included) in the past were unforgivable. But I did not publicly denounce them because this is a…
This is the rogue state to which Obama has given billions and enabled it to get nuclear weapons. Treason is too mild a word for what he has done. “The most dangerous anti-American force isn’t ISIS, it’s Iran,” by Robert Spencer, New York Post, July 30, 2016: The greatest threat to national security today…
The 28-page section of the 9/11 report detailing Saudi involvement in the September 11, 2001 jihad attacks have finally been released (albeit with substantial portions still redacted), and it is now clear why one President who held hands with the Saudi King and another who bowed to him worked so hard all these years to…
The Islamic State (ISIS) attack in Medina shows once and for all that ISIS is not Islamic, right? After all, how could a Muslim group, much less a self-styled “caliphate,” set off a bomb in the city of Muhammad himself? That proves that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, no? That’s what many Muslims…
Here is something you rarely see — an objective and balanced report on Robert Spencer’s recent talks in Canada. Spencer is, as always, nails it — brilliant, bold and brave. Needless to say, Islamic supremacists and their lefist lapdogs were spitting bullets. “Political Islam critic Robert Spencer’s Calgary talk: Smeared by lefty media, welcomed by…
Our colleges and universities around the country are factories that turn out leftist bots rather than clear-headed young people capable of critical thinking. Here is one particularly nasty example: Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, a small school with a large appetite for left-fascism. My colleague Robert Spencer explains: “Spencer: Saint Anselm College – Most…
The left is peddling this lie at Obama’s instruction: “Statistics Show White Supremacy is a Bigger Threat to the U.S. Than Radical Muslims” This patently false claim is part of the ongoing Big Lie campaign to try to downplay and minimize the jihad threat. It first surfaced in June, and in wake of the Oregon…
Platitudes, self-righteousness, distortions, tortured reasoning, self-promotion — that’s right, it’s another major speech by Barack Obama. Mind you, while the sharia-compliant president was bloviating at the UN, another major city in Afghanistan fell to the Taliban and the House Committee on Homeland Security released a blockbuster report that called the thousands of foreign fighters who…
Pope Benedict spoke honestly about Islam. Now it has come to light that he was being undermined by a shadowy cabal that wanted to install Cardinal Bergoglio — the present Pope Francis — as Pope and “modernize” the Catholic Church. One thing they’ve certainly succeeded in doing is ending all resistance to the global jihad…
Hamas-linked CAIR announced in a press release that it “today announced the renewal of its ‘Share the Quran’ campaign in response to Republican candidate Ben Carson’s false claim that Islam is ‘inconsistent’ with the Constitution.” Great idea! I’m all for the public’s having a better understanding of the Qur’an. People will read the Qur’an and…
This is big international news today — but my colleague Robert Spencer was saying it over a month ago. “Scholars catch up to Spencer, realize ancient Qur’an challenges Islam’s origins,” by Robert Spencer, Jihad Watch, August 31, 2015: “Fragments of the world’s oldest Koran, found in Birmingham last month, may predate the Prophet Muhammad and…
Once again, my colleague Robert Spencer tells truths that the media and political elites won’t tell. His latest book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS is out today, and it is must-reading for anyone who is tired of the lies pumped out by the Obama administration and the enemedia. To know the enemy and defeat…
Teen Vogue is just that: a magazine for teenage girls. Articles featured on its front page today include “Justin Bieber and Sam Smith Are Already Listening to Tori Kelly’s New Album, and You Should Be, Too”; “The 35 Coolest Back-to-School Backpacks”; “7 Desserts That Require No Baking At All”; “The Complete Guide to Washing Your…
My colleague Robert Spencer explains what’s at stake: “Je Suis Pamela Geller,” by Robert Spencer, FrontPage Mag, May 8, 2015: I was standing next to Pamela Geller just after our American Freedom Defense Initiative/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest ended last Sunday in Garland, Texas when one of our security team ran in…
My colleague Robert Spencer exposes yet another Islamic deceiver posing as a moderate: “Egypt’s Mufti: Jihad terrorists are misunderstanders of Islam and Qur’an,” Robert Spencer, April 10, 2015: Here is the Grand Mufti of Egypt with yet another disappointingly deceptive piece about how jihad terrorists are misunderstanding Islam — a point that everyone seems to…
The articles come almost daily now: Muslim (and non-Muslim) authorities assuring us that what the Islamic State and other jihad terrorists do — mass murders, beheadings, rapes, destruction — has nothing do with Islam, despite the jihadis’ quotations of the Qur’an and screams of “Allahu akbar.” And every day, mainstream outlets such as Newsweek here…
Note from Pamela Geller: Earlier today, Secretary of State John Kerry heralded the Saudi clerics’ “fatwa against terrorism” as if it were some magic wand that would validate Kerry’s absurd remarks on how Islam is a religion of peace. This is Saudi Arabia’s contribution to Obama’s phantom coalition. The Sauds want the infidel to fight…
Boston, London, Paris: The Goal of the “Islamophobia” Hysteria RealizedBy Robert Spencer In the last few weeks, Islamic jihadists have murdered three people and wounded 260 at the Boston Marathon, brutally murdered a British soldier on a London street, and critically wounded a French soldier in a copycat attack on a street in Paris. And…
Thuggery Wins Again by Robert Spencer Maybe in this cowed and cowardly age, the denouement was inevitable: on Wednesday night, the Great Neck Synagogue on Long Island canceled a speech by Pamela Geller that had been scheduled for Sunday. This was after Islamic supremacists, led by one Habeeb Ahmed of the Nassau County Human Rights…
Will the Pope Be A Prophetic Voice?By Robert Spencer We have seen Pope Francis exemplify Christ’s extreme humility. Will he also imitate Christ and the Biblical prophets in challenging the powerful and rebuking the unjust? It created an international sensation when the new Pope washed a Muslim woman’s feet during Maundy Thursday mass. Numerous Leftists…
The Spiritual Journey of Magdi Allam by Robert Spencer The highest-profile convert to Roman Catholicism in recent memory, Magdi Cristiano Allam, has left the Catholic Church. Allam, who was baptized in the Vatican by Pope Benedict XVI on Easter day 2008, explained that what “more than any other factor drove me away from the Church”…
The Jihad Against Gays By Robert Spencer In response to San Francisco officials’ self-defeating hostility to AFDI’s jihad truth ads, Pamela Geller devised a brilliant new ad campaign for that city, calling attention to Muslim persecution of gays. Theresa Sparks, the transgender head of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, falsely claimed that Geller was…
Why I Am Not A Conservativeby Robert Spencer Many years ago, when I interviewed the great avant-garde saxophonist Charles Gayle, I asked him about bitter criticism he had received for his tendency to preach a pro-life message in the middle of his concerts. “Yeah,” he said with some amusement, “they always call me ‘right-wing.’ Man,…
Nidal Hasan’s courtroom jihadBy Robert Spencer It doesn’t seem to have occurred to anyone that Nidal Malik Hasan (I will not dishonor the U.S. Army by referring to him as “Major Hasan”), the Army psychiatrist who murdered thirteen people at Fort Hood on November 5, 2009 in the name of Islam and jihad, might still…
Why Jews and Christians Must Unite In Defense Against the Global JihadBy Robert Spencer Sunday night in Los Angeles I had the great honor of receiving the Shushan Award for Righteous Gentile from the Creative Zionist Coalition, a noteworthy new group dedicated to the defense of Israel. At a time when Leftist Christians are rushing…
Countering Muslim Disinformation By Robert Spencer According to Islamic supremacist hate groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), no one would have any problem with Islam if it weren’t for bigoted non-Muslims who irresponsibly “link Islam to terrorism” – and this link, they claim, gives rise to acts of violence against Muslims….
Who’s An Authority? by Robert Spencer The Roman Catholic diocese of Worcester, Massachusetts invited me last June to speak at their Catholic Men’s Conference this coming March 16; however, under pressure from the Boston Globe and Islamic supremacists in the area, the diocese has canceled my appearance. I am planning to buy an exhibitor’s table…
Debating Islamic supremacistsBy Robert Spencer TNN reported Monday that “a group of scholars who are also members of the powerful All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has invited controversial author Salman Rushdie to debate on Islam and the Prophet’s life. This is a significant change of position from the general Muslim view which has…
Washington Post Publishes Muslim’s Sly Case Against Free SpeechBy Robert Spencer Ahmadi spokesmen like the strutting Qasim Rashid and the execrable Harris Zafar, the author of a recent Washington Post op-ed, carry water for the same Islamic supremacists who would cheerfully slit their throats if they were back in Pakistan, and instead target those who…
The Monstrous Moral Inversion of the “Islamophobia” Industry by Robert Spencer A steady stream of articles appears about the “Islamophobia” industry, a supposedly well-coordinated, well-funded band of bigots, hatemongers and racists who are doing their utmost to disrupt what would otherwise be a peaceful and harmonious welcoming of Muslims into the United States and other…
“Islamophobia”: Causes and Remedies by Robert Spencer Imagine a political analyst in 1940 who studied the low opinion that Americans had of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, and concluded that the problem was not the genocidal anti-Semitism, the international aggression, or the vile racist ideology, but bad press. Imagine further another analyst who pointed out…
Anwar al-Awlaki on Capitol Hill and the Problem of “Extremists” and “Moderates”By Robert Spencer In 2002, PBS produced a documentary on the life of Muhammad, Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet. I wrote in a National Review article at the time that the documentary presented an “attractively packaged, sanitized version of Islam.” It features Islamic apologist…
Jihad with a Human FaceBy Robert Spencer Pamela Geller has described the new #MyJihad ad campaign from by the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an “insult to our intelligence,” and that it certainly is. In one of the CAIR ads, a hijabbed woman lifts a barbell while explaining, “My Jihad is to stay…
