They
are marking the Christians’ homes with a ن, a nūn for Nasara, which is
the Qur’an’s word for Christians: Nazarenes. Probably they are doing
this so that they can know from which houses to demand the jizya, the
tax that the Qur’an demands that the subjugated People of the Book pay
in the Islamic […]

Will
Muslim spokesmen denounce this call as un-Islamic, or remain silent
about it? I’m betting the latter, in light of passages like these that
make it clear that the Islamic State’s call is in complete accord with
the Qur’an and Islamic law: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor
the Last Day, nor hold […]

Yes,
in fact, they are slogans. When Hamas starts sounding like Baghdad Bob,
shaking its fist and issuing thunderous warnings to the Israelis, you
know the jihadists are very, very afraid. Note also this: “Asked why
Hamas was unwilling to stop the rocket fire that drove the Israeli
cabinet to vote for the ground operation, […]

Yesterday
on my regular appearance on Michael Coren’s Sun TV show, Michael and I
discussed the Muslim employee at the British Tesco supermarket who
refused to ring up ham and wine for a customer during Ramadan, and what
Canadian Muslim convert Andre Poulin (Abu Muslim) about Muslim efforts
to convert non-Muslims in the West.

Now
wait a minute. What about the Arabic-speaking Christians who are
joining the IDF in increasing numbers? Are Hamas’s rockets so
sophisticated that they can distinguish not only Jews from Arabs, but
Arabs who are loyal to the Jewish state from those who are aligned with
the jihad? Now that’s impressive indeed! And isn’t Fawzi […]

The
advocates of stoning are universally described as “extremists,” but
they can and do claim that they are simply implementing Islamic law. The
caliph Umar, one of Muhammad’s closest companions, maintained that the
punishment of stoning for adultery (this story doesn’t specify the
method of punishment, but the outcome of the punishment is the same […]

The
IDF said that “the aim of the operation is to protect Israeli lives and
crush Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip.” But the Obama
Administration has called upon Israel to restrict its operation to
destroying the tunnels. So don’t be surprised if some State Department
official or other to calls upon Israel to withdraw […]

“The
hard-hitting report may fuel tensions in England’s second city and
raise questions about whether Britain has taken adequate steps to expose
and uproot Islamism.” No, it hasn’t. Quite the contrary: it has abetted
and encouraged Islamic supremacists by allowing their stigmatization of
foes of jihad terror to become official British government policy —
hence […]

In
FrontPage today I explain how recent actions against Israel show the
failure of earlier episodes of the “peace process”: The wreckage of
earlier Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts – the Camp David Accords,
Oslo, the Road Map to Peace and all the rest – was on particularly vivid
display this week. Reuters reported Monday that “at […]

The
new “caliphate” of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi—the Islamic State, formerly
“ISIS”—recently made clear that it means to follow in the footsteps of
the original caliphate of Abu Bakr al-Sadiq (632-634), specifically by
directing its jihad against fellow Muslims, in Islamic parlance, the
“hypocrites” and “apostates,” or in Western terminology, “moderates.”
This came out in the […]

The
IDF said that “the aim of the operation is to protect Israeli lives and
crush Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip.” Does the Obama
Administration not want Israel to crush Hamas? This demand for an action
narrowly focused on the tunnels would suggest that. “US: Restrict Gaza
operation to precise action against tunnels,” by […]

Those
who have issued these threats support the people who murdered Shahbaz
Bhatti and believe that they should go free. He was, after all, an
Infidel who was interfering with the implementation of Sharia blasphemy
laws in Pakistan. As far as they are concerned, he deserved what he got.
“Main Suspect in Bhatti Murder in […]

This
bizarre and paranoid fantasy is based on the fact that the Islamic
State declared that it would “fight Israel only after it has finished
with the infidels.” The moderate Palestinian Authority knows that any
jihad group worthy of the name would first direct its efforts against
“the most intense of the people in animosity […]
