“Islamophobia has declined among other groups but has increased among Muslims.” Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. “We find that over time, Islamophobia has declined among other groups but has increased among Muslims,” the latest scaremongering report […]
“We will never Live as Dhimmis”: The Stealth Cultural Jihad in America
I recently came across the title of an Arabic book, “We will never live as Dhimmis” (lan naish zimieen), written by a Lebanese Christian, Amin Naji, in 1979. A Dhimmi is a Christian or Jew living in a region overrun by Muslim conquest who was accorded a protected status in exchange of a poll tax […]
Dalia Mogahed: “They don’t need you to save them from Islam. They need your respect.” (Part Three)
Of course, we have examples of “honor killings,” such as those of Amina and Sarah Said, murdered for, among other things, not wearing the hijab, and many other killings of Muslim girls for being “too Westernized,” which includes, of course, not wearing the hijab. And Mogahed’s phrase about wearing a hijab “if a family member […]
Dalia Mogahed: “They don’t need you to save them from Islam. They need your respect.” (Part Two)
Mogahed did not become a chemical engineer, nor go into business, for both of which she trained, and either of which might have been taxing. Instead, she went into the business of being a Muslim. First, she polled Muslims for Gallup. Now she polls Muslims for her Muslim advocacy group (what she calls her “think […]
Dalia Mogahed: “They don’t need you to save them from Islam. They need your respect.” (Part One)
“They [Muslim women] don’t need you to save them from Islam. They need your respect.” Thus claims Dalia Mogahed here. The latest iteration of the so-called “Muslim ban” was upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling, leading many critics to call the decision a triumph of legal technicalities over principle. In this third […]
Why the War on ‘Islamophobia’ Distracts Us from Legitimate Terrorism Concerns
John Esposito, the Saudi-funded director of Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative, is on a mission to convince the world, one academic conference at a time, that “Islamophobia has metastasized” as a “social cancer in America.” Speaking alongside his protégé, Dalia Mogahed, Bridge Initiative Senior Fellow Engy Abdelkader, and others at the September 22 “Islamophobia in Focus: […]
Robert Spencer in Front Page: Dalia Mogahed: Mainstreaming Islamic Oppression
In FrontPage today I discuss Sharia advocate Dalia Mogahed’s recent appearance on the Daily Show, where she endeavored to explain why Islamic oppression of women is, hey, really cool. Dalia Mogahed, formerly Barack Obama’s adviser on Muslim affairs, appeared on Trevor Noah’s sinking-like-a-stone Daily Show last week, to explain to a worshipful Noah and an […]
Muslim former Obama adviser: “white male Christians” commit most terror attacks
This claim is the new mantra of the politically correct: it was recent repeated by Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings, among others. It does not, contrary to Mogahed’s claim, come from the FBI. It derives from a widely-heralded study that was published last summer by the New America Foundation, claiming […]
Obama adviser: “When we ask people what can Muslims do to help themselves, one of the most frequent responses is for them to unify and another is for them to follow Islam and make it a greater and more authentic part of their lives”
I wrote here about Obama adviser Dalia Mogahed’s pro-Sharia appearance on a Hizb ut-Tahrir television show in Britain. Now, in “Does Sharia Law Promote Women’s Rights?” in FrontPage (October 20), Cinnamon Stillwell reveals even more about the deceptions, half-truths and soothing fictions about women’s rights under Sharia that Mogahed and Nazreen Nawaz peddled on that […]
“You can’t teach the Ten Commandments in public schools. But teaching the five pillars of Islam is A-OK.”
A few weeks old, but still current — the stealth jihad to whitewash Islam and propagate it in the public schools still continues. “Schoolhouse Shariah,” from Investor’s Business Daily, September 24 (thanks to Allyson): Multiculturalism: California’s educrats have put out new rules for teaching Islamic studies to seventh-graders in public schools, and they are as […]
