Good. Neither do I. Bring our troops home. All of them. Now. Yesterday. “Karzai sees no good in US presence in Afghanistan,” from Dawn, February 3 (thanks to Lookmann): WASHINGTON: Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in an interview published on Sunday that he saw no good in America’s presence in Afghanistan. The Afghan leader referred […]

This is a result of Muhammad’s exoneration of his favorite wife, Aisha, who was suspected of adultery. Allah gave him a revelation requiring four male witnesses to establish such a crime: “And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony – They […]

This is not a member of the Taliban. This is a member of Parliament — i.e., one of the “moderates” that we are expending blood and treasure to support. “Afghan Lawmaker Abdul Sattar Khawasi: ‘Jihad Is Legitimate Against The U.S., And Silence Against The U.S. Is An Act In Violation Of Religion,’” from MEMRI, January […]

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike at their necks…” — Qur’an 47:4 An update on this story. “Nigeria: death toll rises in Boko Haram attacks,” by Carey Lodge for Christian Today, February 1 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): The number of fatalities resulting from attacks in Nigeria on 26 January has risen to at […]

Watch for the worldwide protests against this desecration — no wait, there won’t be any, because it is perfectly fine for Islamic jihadists to desecrate the Qur’an in the cause of Islam. “Don’t pick up Quran in Pakistan, it could be a bomb,” from the Associated Press, January 31 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): […]

The idea that the Coptic Christians in Egypt welcomed the Arab troops as liberators in the mid-seventh century is a staple of Islamic apologetics today, and (not surprisingly, given the abysmal state of academia today) is generally accepted among historians. However, it has always had weak foundations, and is actually yet another example of a […]

They’re all just Infidels. “Suspected Filipino rebels set off bomb; 12 wounded,” from The Associated Press, February 1: MANILA, Philippines — A homemade bomb that was likely set off by Muslim rebels in the southern Philippines on Saturday wounded 12 people, including six soldiers and two television journalists, the military said. The blast happened near […]

Targets? Within America? But I thought the Iranians were all moderates now, and loved us. In any case, the “destroyed from within” part looks as if it is proceeding apace. “Iranian commander: We have targets within America,” by Reza Kahlili for the Daily Caller, February 1: A top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards boasted Saturday […]

The Joint Terrorism Task Force is involved, strongly suggesting that this was not a spurned lover getting revenge or some such, but a pious Muslim enacting the justice of Allah against a gay establishment that he deemed immoral. We have seen Muslims attacking bars, nightclubs and the like the world over in order to stop […]

It’s “a bold film on myths about Quran” — a “jihad against terrorism.” You’d think that peaceful Muslims would be glad to see this addressed — certainly I myself am interested to see how Ajaz Khan makes a case that “Quran has been misinterpreted to give birth to terrorism,” since jihad terrorists routinely quote chapter […]

The last paragraph of this story manifests the typical mainstream media slant. Reuters does not mention that the Malay Muslim sultanate was making war against the Siamese during the war between Siam and Burma, and that Thailand conquered it in that context. That makes it Thai by a right of conquest that has been universally […]
