“Savir told the magistrate Cornell wanted to be addressed by his Muslim
name, Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, and to have access to a prayer mat and a
clock in jail so he could continue his religious practices.” Yet “the
FBI said in court documents filed last week that Cornell planned to
‘wage jihad’ by attacking the […]

Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him”
(Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law
according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. This is still
the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and
Shi’ite. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most renowned and prominent
Muslim […]

This shows the incoherence of the French understanding of the jihad
threat. Prime Minister Valls says that the jihad was created by France’s
“ethnic apartheid.” But these soldiers were in the French military — is
it also beset by “apartheid”? Anyway, the source says: “Our concern is
not former soldiers… It’s preventing the phenomenon of […]

The mainstream media is running hard these days with the absurd idea
that Sharia no-go zones in Europe are the “Islamophobic” fabrication of
Fox News or Steve Emerson. This despite the fact that the New York
Times, Newsweek and the New Republic, hardly conservative outlets, have

Valls has been more forthright than most Western leaders in identifying
the foe as “radical Islam,” but here he shows that he is just as
clueless as the rest of them when it comes to knowing the root causes of
Islamic terror. Valls shares the paternalistic assumption that
virtually all Western leaders hold: that Islamic […]

The Chicago Tribune reported in 2004 that the U.S. arm of the Muslim
Brotherhood “helped establish the Muslim Students Association.” The
Muslim Brotherhood, according to a captured internal document that names
the MSA as one of its arms in the U.S., is dedicated in its own words
to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, […]

“In a statement released
Tuesday,
the union said there should be protection for ‘prophets’ and urged
Islamic countries to submit a draft law to the UN calling for defamation
of religions to be outlawed.” You’ll notice that the International
Union of Muslim Scholars isn’t saying that there should be protection
for the freedom of speech […]

On Fox and Friends this morning, Elizabeth Hasselbeck had this exchange
with Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Jarrett answers
Hasselbeck’s question, “why won’t the President say Islamic extremism or
radical Islam?,” by pointing out that there are other forms of
terrorism, and that the U.S. is working with some Muslim countries
against terrorism. Neither is […]

Pamela Geller points out that last night in his State of the Union
address, Barack Obama once again rejected any possibility that his
administration would address the true nature and magnitude of the jihad
threat: Last night in his State of the Union address (full transcript
here), Barack Obama said this: As Americans, we respect […]

The Islamic State has called for jihad attacks against Infidel
civilians, and we see them increasingly — in Israel, Europe and the U.S.
But authorities are content to wave their hands and insist it has
nothing to do with Islam, which means they have no clue as to the motive
of these attacks and don’t […]
