We
have seen the principle reinforced again and again: wherever Islamic
law and Western law conflict, it is Western law that has to give way.
And so here, despite claims from Islamic groups in the West that they
have no interest in bringing Sharia to the West, we see a Muslim sheikh
in Germany call […]

Not
to worry, San Franciscans! The San Francisco City Council has come out
firmly against “Islamophobia,” issuing a resolution denouncing Pamela
Geller and our American Freedom Defense Initiative ads denouncing Sharia
oppression of gays. Al Qaeda will see and be gratified, and let San
Francisco live to another windy day! All is well! Party on! […]

This
is the heart of the matter: “Shame on Brandeis, a Jewish university,
for aiding and abetting the atrocious maligning of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
Hirsi Ali speaks of unhappy things, things that civilized men don’t want
to hear, and that savages don’t want you to hear. That is all the more
reason that universities and […]

News recently
emerged that “the Obama administration is imposing sanctions on an
Egypt-based group that has claimed responsibility for attacks against
Egyptian officials, Israeli interests and foreign tourists in Cairo and
the Sinai peninsula. The State Department said Wednesday
[4/9/14] it has designated Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis a ‘foreign terrorist
organization.’” While ostensibly a laudable move, some—many in
Egypt—think this […]

Over
at Gatestone institute (via RaymondIbrahim.com) appears my latest
monthly installment of Muslim persecution of Christians — the “Christmas
edition”: As happens at Christmas every year throughout the Muslim
world, Christians and their churches were especially targeted—from
jihadi terror strikes killing worshippers, to measures by Muslim
authorities restricting Christmas celebrations. Some incidents follow:
Iraq: “Militants” […]

Fresh
from addressing the Annual Awards Banquet of the Oklahoma chapter of
the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, Saudi-funded
academic John Esposito says makes some Pinocchio-like claims in an
interview with NewsOK: “‘Islamophobia’ as I define it is not about
people who have a kind of good fact-based criticism of the Islamic
religion. There’s nothing […]

The
historian Jeffrey Herf has written a trenchant letter to the president
of Brandeis University over its capitulation to Hamas-linked CAIR over
the honorary degree to Ayaan Hirsi Ali. What Herf describes as his
experience here in being accused of “Islamophobia” is exactly the same
experience that everyone has if he or she speaks honestly […]

“Turkey’s
EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has called for a halt
to racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic political discourse ahead of the
European Parliament elections in May.” This is akin to the ongoing
attempt by the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to
intimidate the West into criminalizing criticism of Islam. For by
“Islamophobic […]

It
has often been noted that Facebook has a pronounced Leftist bias, with
counter-jihad and pro-Israel posts and pages often being deleted, while
Islamic supremacist and openly jihadist material remains untouched. Now,
with this Muslim Advocates Annual Gala, we begin to see more clearly
why that kind of thing happens. “Facebook Exec to Headline Muslim […]

Here
yet again we see the phenomenon that we have seen so many, many times:
Islamic supremacists cannot handle the slightest criticism. Nor can they
defend their own actions, or take responsibility for them. So instead,
they try to shut down their critics forcibly. This condemnation of the
Armenian Genocide resolution is another manifestation of […]
