This
article epitomizes the willful ignorance and self-imposed blindness of
the British intelligentsia regarding Islam. The BBC says below that “men
in Niger are allowed to have four wives under a local interpretation of
Islamic law.” A local interpretation of Islamic law? Oh, so the Qur’an
is local to Niger, now? The Qur’an says: “And […]

The
Pakistani blasphemy laws are a tool for the persecution of Christians
and an ongoing human rights abuse. But the International “human rights
community” is indifferent — after all, no “Islamophobia” is being
committed, so all is well. “Illiterate Christian Couple Sentenced to
Death in Pakistan for ‘Blasphemous’ Texts,” by Leah Marianne Klett,
Gospel Herald, […]

“Federal
authorities are investigating whether he was recruited or radicalized
online.” But this investigation will be clumsy and perfunctory at best,
because when, say, local mosque officials tell the feds that nobody knew
this guy, nobody ever saw him, except one time to castigate him for his
“extremism,” and that further probing would be “Islamophobic,” […]

Either
all of Israel is illegitimate (which may be what Obama thinks) or the
“settlements” are on Israeli land by UN declaration and the right
recognized for all nations victorious in war throughout history — except
Israel in 1948 and 1967. Once again the U.S. supports “Palestinian”
jihad propaganda — and what did it get […]

It
is unusual to see the slick pseudo-moderate Tariq Ramadan, who is so
skillful at manipulating credulous Infidels into thinking that he is the
very model of the modern moderate Muslim when actually he has never
called for any genuine reform or rejection of any Sharia provision,
including jihad warfare against Infidels, so openly lapse […]

Professors
Rabab Abdulhadi and Joanne Barker met with Leila Khaled of the Marxist
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the jihadist Sheikh
Raed Salah of Hamas. But relax: “Responding to charges a professor
engaged in Mideast politics on the taxpayer dime, San Francisco State
University officials offered bland reassurances that the school
investigates […]

Rapidly
re-Islamizing Turkey hands down a Sharia-inspired ruling. These are the
kinds of laws that the purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth want to
bring to the U.S. The jailing of the Muhammad video producer, and the
calls in the wake of the Muhammad video riots in mainstream media
outlets for self-censorship of material that may […]

A
small detail in EuroPol’s report “European Union Terrorism Situation
and Trend Report 2014” underlines the cowardice of the EU and the UK
when it comes to confronting Islamic terrorism: European Union (EU)
Member States reported no terrorist attacks specifically classified as
religiously inspired terrorism for the 2013 period. However, in at least
two attacks, […]

For
those who are interested in political violence, the enormous difference
between Left and Right wing terrorism shown in the chart here is also
interesting. From EuroPol’s report “European Union Terrorism Situation
and Trend Report 2014“: Significant increase in arrests for religiously
inspired terrorism from 159 in 2012 to 216 in 2013.

He
is charged with destroying records. He also brought dinner to the
bombers on the night of the attack. If the charges are true, he clearly
approved of what they had done. What could have motivated him to support
the mass murder of innocents? Could it be the belief system and
ideology that no one […]

I
have worked as a psychologist with these kind of people. One of the
things I discovered as a prison psychologist was that you find that the
most religious Muslims are among the most violent ones. Via 10News.dk,
translated from Ekstrabladet: This weekend the gang member Ahmed Syria
from the group Black Army crossed the […]

Sweden
takes in hundreds of thousands of Muslim immigrants and refugees these
days, which is why the country has one of the fastest growing
populations in the Western world. The police are depending on Muslim
sharia patrols to control riots, and the Swedish government has cut down
the army to a ridiculous size that makes it impossible […]

This story from ABC.net.au
says that the arrested people had so much methylamphetamine on them
that clearly they were major dealers. It identifies them by name as Ziad
and Rabih Jneid, but doesn’t identify them further. However, an earlier
version of the story that now resolves to the link below had a very
different headline: […]

Islam
permits Muslim husbands to abandon their wives to rapists in order to
save their own lives—so says Dr. Yassir al-Burhami, vice president of
Egypt’s Salafi party, the nation’s premiere Islamist party since the
Muslim Brotherhood was banned. Burhami’s fatwa, or Islamic decree, is
not altogether surprising. Earlier the Salafi sheikh said that, although
a […]

This
is the Britain that Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron have
made. Why has Mizanur Rahman’s sermon “sparked fresh outrage”? Why is
anyone upset about it at all? After all, I was banned from Britain for
saying that Islam “is a religion and is a belief system that mandates
warfare against unbelievers for […]

How
did it come about that the “publicly-funded political adviser” to the
mayor of Tower Hamlets would threaten street violence over an
investigation of his camp’s voter intimidation and questionable
vote-counting? This is, after all, Great Britain, which has a proud
tradition stretching back hundreds of years of free and fair elections,
unaccompanied by intimidation […]

In
FrontPage today I discuss how Obama identified terrorism as the
greatest threat we face, while having forbidden discussion of what
exactly that terrorism is. Barack Obama gave the commencement address at
the United States Military Academy at West Point on Wednesday, and piled absurdity upon absurdity. “For the foreseeable future, the most direct threat […]

This
is right on the money: “It’s very telling that their vandalism is
anti-Semitic. The vandalism demonstrates yet again the desperate
insecurity and authoritarian tendencies of the foes of the U.S., Israel
and freedom. The supporters of Hamas-tied CAIR and the Palestinian jihad
cannot answer our arguments or refute our assertions. They cannot
debate so […]

While
the BDS movement and Pink Floyd’s execrable Roger Waters tried to
intimidate the Stones into cancelling their stop in Tel Aviv, one artist
was clear-sighted and noble, and encouraged them to go there. “Rolling
Stones’ Ronnie Wood: Dylan told us to come to Israel,” by David Brinn,
Jerusalem Post, May 27, 2014: Ronnie Wood, […]

Kuwaiti
politicians say that ”wearing a bikini is not a personal choice or a
matter of personal freedom,” but rather ”an assault on local values and
sense of decency and modesty.” Wearing one runs counter to “the precepts
of Islam.” And that’s that, in Kuwait, and increasingly in the West as
well, courtesy of terrified […]
