Why don’t we see more genuine Islamic reform? This story illustrates one reason why.

When conservatives attack Leftists, the Left circles the wagons and defends its own, no matter what they’ve done. But when Leftists attack conservatives, the establishment Right eagerly plays circular firing squad and throws its own under the bus.

Wikipedia has some limited value if you want to get some facts about Tiberius Caesar or Henry Agard Wallace or Leon Spinks, but on contemporary issues it has — like virtually everything else — a pronounced hard-Left, pro-jihad bias.

Universities today, it bears repeating, are no longer institutions of higher learning in which views are freely debated and accepted or rejected on their merits, but centers of hard-Left indoctrination and recruitment. Professor David Palumbo-Liu and his followers at Stanford are just one small example of that fact.

Arthur Wagner, a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party that opposes Angela Merkel’s suicidal influx of Muslim migrants, recently gained headlines (as well as crowing and accolades from all the usual infiltrators, saboteurs, and dhimmis) by converting to Islam. But then he revealed why he had answered the call of Allah.

We hear a great deal about how the Muslim community in the U.S. rejects and abhors jihad violence, yet the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the most influential Muslim group in the U.S., routinely distributes fliers telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement.

Recently Ivan Balhatchet, the British National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on honour violence, was asked by a former police officer why there had not yet been a single conviction for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the entire United Kingdom, despite there having been tens of thousands of cases of it recorded since 1985. Balhatchet’s response unwittingly revealed the priorities of Theresa May’s “diverse,” shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain.

If the Mayor of Palermo, Italy, Leoluca Orlando, is any indication, Europe has already happily turned off the light switch and celebrated the impending darkness.

For years now, I have been calling for a realignment of our international alliances, which are still based upon fighting the Cold War, in light of the reality of the resurgent global jihad. At last, we have a President of the United States who is taking steps to do just that.

For the people of Iran, have the man and the moment met?

Leftist activist Linda Sarsour is openly pro-Sharia, and so it should come as no surprise that her response to recent charges that she downplayed and dismissed charges sexual assault at the Arab American Association while she was its executive director has been down the line with Sharia principles.

This is a call for genocide of the Jews.

These kinds of attacks on mosques are stupid and never justified. But the prosecution of this case only underscores the fact that when it comes to jihad attacks, authorities have lost all sense of proportion.

Is Dalhousie University experiencing a wave of anti-Muslim hate crimes perpetrated against vulnerable and pious Muslimas by racist, redneck, beer-swilling, xenophobic, bigoted, “Islamophobic” yahoos? Not quite. The Postmedia News story goes on to say that “no such incidents have been reported to authorities.”

“These people cannot and will not engage on the level of ideas. They come in and they pack the event and then they leave so that nobody that wants to be here can be here. This again shows that these people are afraid of free discourse.”

One of the strangest, but unfortunately predictable, results of the fascist disruption of my event in Stanford University last week was new evidence of how deeply opposed the academic Left really is to the freedom of speech and free discourse.

American college campuses are on the forefront of the new fascism. It’s vicious, ugly and frightening. Americans better get ready for what’s coming. They aren’t just coming for Robert Spencer, my colleagues and me, they are coming for you. This tactic of filling a room with thugs and goons and immediately staging a walkout is now standard operating procedure.

The British supermarket chain Tesco is getting heat for a Christmas ad featuring hijabbed Muslimas, and Muslim “reformer” Maajid Nawaz is enraged – not at Tesco, but at those who are complaining about the ad.

Is Sayfullo Saipov really flouting Allah’s commands by thinking that “kill them wherever you find them” means “kill them wherever you find them”?

A controversy has broken out over a Maryland housing development that advertised and sold homes only to Ahmadiyya Muslims. Predictably, those who object to this are being accused of “Islamophobia.”

I’m “kind of on the side of free speech”? That’s like being “kind of pregnant.”

Here is still more trumped-up victimhood propaganda.

“But he became religious during his second year and gradually grew more orthodox. Arman was no longer playing soccer, basketball and video games with friends. He was spending more time at the mosque.”

“Confessions of an Islamophobe is an indispensable guide to how American leftists from Linda Sarsour to Bernie Sanders have joined forces with the Islamic enemies of women, gays, Jews, Christians, and other infidels, in an unholy alliance against America and its freedoms.”

The New York Daily News reported Friday that professional victim and dishonest Islamic apologist Haroon Moghul is set to speak at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan.

Islam a feminist movement? In reality, the Qur’an taught that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience.”

Yes, after another article defaming us in another Leftist publication, PayPal dropped both the American Freedom Defense Initiative and Jihad Watch. And yes, after a huge outcry, PayPal reinstated both. But that was just a minor setback for the Left-fascists: the Left’s post-Charlottesville all-out assault against the freedom of speech is continuing.

This is Thelonious Monk, a true American original, on piano, playing his incandescent classic “Straight, No Chaser.”

The jihadis will keep killing people because they hold to an ideology that tells them they will receive rewards in this world and the next for doing so.

Another fake study – this time from the UN.

Two news items this week show us once again what the establishment media and almost all political authorities in the free world are determined to deny: jihad terrorism really is all about Islam.

If anything had happened to Pamela Geller, we can be sure that the talking heads would have looked soulfully into the cameras and said, Well, she had it coming. It’s a sign of how much our respect for the freedom of speech, and understanding of its importance, has degenerated since the days of Rushdie.

It’s time to begin to keep track of the victims of “Islamophobia.” Not the victims of anti-Muslim hate crimes that all too often turn out to have been faked by Muslims themselves, but the real victims of “Islamophobia.”

A few recent news items show how far Islamic blasphemy laws have advanced in the West.

The Catholic Church has come a long way since the days of Pope Callixtus III, who vowed in 1455 to “exalt the true Faith, and to extirpate the diabolical sect of the reprobate and faithless Mahomet in the East.”

If jihad is simply a a word of truth spoken in front of a tyrant, why have thousands upon thousands of Muslims worldwide joined violent jihad groups? Why are there any violent jihad groups at all? Why is this misunderstanding of jihad so widespread?

Ellison was, as will come as a surprise to no one familiar with his career, lying.

Not much has been heard from the imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the former public face of the Ground Zero mosque initiative, since Pamela Geller and her team of patriots defeated that project.

This is what the British police are concerned about in the wake of the jihad massacres in Manchester and London: bacon.

Theresa May said it herself after the London jihad attacks. “It is time,” she declared, “to say enough is enough.” Great idea, Prime Minister. Enough is enough: it’s time for you to do the decent thing and resign.

“The month of Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah.”

Once every foe of jihad terror is demonized and silenced, who will be left to speak out in resistance?

Do Linda Sarsour’s feminist friends and allies simply take everything they say at face value?

The New York Times has finally deigned to cover the violent, fascist war on the free speech against those who the left oppose But Times glosses over all that, not surprisingly, since the Times itself is a flagship of the Leftist establishment, and a cheerleader for any effort that marginalizes and silences dissenting voices.

The Left is evil. And they will stop at nothing.

Here we go again. If President Trump’s National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, wields influence over the President, and if his characterization of the President’s upcoming trip to the Middle East is to be believed, Trump is now set to repeat all the mistakes that his last two predecessors made in dealing with the global jihad threat.

“The far right thrives on global networks. They must be fought online and off,” writes Julia Ebner in the Guardian. By “far right” she means, of course, Pamela Geller and me.

Now it’s “Islamophobic” to notice that a jihad killer screamed “Allahu akbar” after committing mass murder.

What is it about converts to Islam? Why do so many of them get the idea that their new religion commands them to commit treason and mass murder?

The Huffington Post must be getting nervous that too many people are discovering the truth about what Islamic texts really say.
