This controversy has been raging for over a week now. I had been inclined to let it pass by without comment, but what it reveals about the state of the freedom of speech in Britain, and the prospects for large-scale reform of Islam, can’t be ignored. Maajid Nawaz is a politician in Britain and a […]

True to form for a mainstream media story, there is no indication in this Canadian Press article that Chiheb Esseghaier is a Muslim, much less an Islamic jihadist. There are numerous quotations of him referring to “God,” leaving the uninformed reader with the possibility that he could be a deranged “right-wing Christian extremist.” His previous […]

The Akal Takht, pictured above, is in Punjab. It is the center of temporal authority for Sikhs. So this is not coming from some “extremist fringe” of “Islamophobes.” “Sexual Exploitation Of Sikhs and Others in England Worries Akal Takht,” from the Hindustan Times, January 29: AMRITSAR SAHIB (January 29, 2014)—The Akal Takht, the highest temporal […]

These Muslims somehow have gotten the Islamophobic idea that democracy and secularism are incompatible with Islam. They must be misunderstanders of Islam. In any case, it sure is a good thing that Britain barred Pamela Geller and me from entering the country. If we had gone there, Muslims might have grown enraged by our “Islamophobia,” […]

Note how Umarov grew more religious and…became a jihad terror leader. Note that Ibragimova refers to her foes as “nonbelievers.” We see this again and again: jihad terrorists are devout and observant Muslims. Yet the religious motivation is the one thing that Western analysts have deemed unimportant. “I Met the Black Widow Suicide Bomber,” by […]

Didn’t this Muslim cleric realize that Islam is tolerant and peaceful? How did he come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly? “Cleric, students charged with ‘athesist’ [sic] blogger’s murder,” from AFP, January 29 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Bangladesh police have charged seven students of an elite university and a cleric over the murder of […]

“What’s this fear that’s struck us suddenly? They’ll kill Jews? Today?” — Shimon Peres No, those rockets are to send origami floating peacefully in the Israeli skies. “’170,000 Rockets Aimed at Israel,’” by Tova Dvorin for Israel National News, January 29: Israel’s Chief of Military Intelligence, Major General Aviv Kohavi, painted a clear and graphic […]

Uh, yeah. They’ll kill Jews. Today. This could only have been said by someone who has no conception of the nature of the jihad ideology, and of the significance of the epigraph from Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan al-Banna on the Hamas charter: “Israel will arise and will remain until Islam eliminates it.” The establishment of […]

Pakistan has in the past funneled to the terrorists themselves the money it received from the U.S. to fight terror. What safeguards are in place now to make sure that doesn’t happen again? Why, none. To ask for any accountability from Pakistan would be “Islamophobic.” “US to keep funding Pakistan after pullout,” by Wajid Ali […]

Islamic supremacists continue to blame the Christians of Egypt for the toppling of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood regime — and this has heated up again with Morsi on trial. “Cairo, Coptic Orthodox church attacked. One dead,” from Asia News, January 29 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Cairo (AsiaNews) – A group of armed men yesterday […]
