Robert Spencer’s latest in PJ Media:
“Everybody must get stoned,” Bob Dylan said, but despite the fact that she has been accused of committing an offense for which Islamic law prescribes stoning, the one person to whom Dylan’s words do not apply is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Even the most hardline Muslim clerics worldwide are almost certain to remain silent about Omar’s alleged adultery, even in her home country of Somalia. The reason why is clear: she is simply too useful to their larger cause.
Roger L. Simon noted Tuesday that “going back to Somalia would definitely spellbig trouble for Omar….To wit: ‘Somalia’s Islamist group al-Shabaab has publicly stoned a woman to death in a town in the south for cheating on her husband, an official told Reuters.’”

The video also shows pepper spray being shot through an open door at a group seated on the floor while one man holds up his hands.
