“Because You Asked: What’s the Difference Between Taqiyya and Tawriya?”: An ATP Report Production – in this episode, Anni Cyrus explains the details of different ways that lying is allowed and advocated under Sharia.
Mubarak Deceived Israel as Muhammad Deceived Infidels?
Today at Hudson NY (via RaymondIbrahim.com) I discuss how some learned Muslims actually exonerate former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, arguing that he was only following Muhammad’s sunnas of deception: In light of ousted president Hosni Mubarak’s ongoing trial, Western readers may be surprised to learn who some of Mubarak’s staunchest defenders are: Salafi Muslims, that […]
U.S. Muslim leader explains how Fort Hood jihadist misunderstands Islam
Here is that rare thing, an attempt to show with specific Qur’anic citations how an Islamic jihadist is misusing the Qur’an and misunderstanding the true, peaceful teachings of Islam. Usually those who assert such things are extremely vague about just how Islam and the Qur’an are being misused. Unfortunately, however, this is written by Salam […]

Taqiyya: Why Iran can’t be trusted
Mamoun Fandy doesn’t discuss the Koranic roots of taqiyya (3:28; 16:106), which make this something that is sometimes used by Sunnis as well as Shi’ites, and he seems to continue to be a bit naive about trusting Iran, but this is nevertheless an unusually full discussion of a concept that the mainstream media usually ignores […]
Raymond Ibrahim on the Fort Hood jihadist: “While the media wonders…why he did it…the fact is his behavior comports well with certain Islamic doctrines”
Our old friend Raymond Ibrahim explains the Islamic doctrines in play in Nidal Hasan’s jihad at Fort Hood, and the cost of ignoring them. “Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood: A Study in Muslim Doctrine,” by Raymond Ibrahim for Pajamas Media via Middle East Forum, November 18: One of the difficulties in discussing Islam’s more troubling […]
Wyoming: Muslims say Fort Hood jihadist misunderstood Islam
And they add that both Muslims and non-Muslims can misunderstand Islam, usually by taking verses of the Koran that mandate violence against unbelievers “out of context.” This excuse is very, very tired at this point, but the obvious rejoinder from reporter Baylie Evans should have been this: Then what are you doing in your mosque […]
Detroit Muslim leaders: Fort Hood attack had nothing to do with Islam
“Islam opposes such actions as committed by Maj. (Nidal Malik) Hasan. The Qur’an considers human life sacred.” Well, evidently one man’s sacred is not another man’s sacred: “And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight […]
Toronto imam who prayed for destruction of Infidels says that only Misunderstanders of Islam would take offense at that
Or as the great Shaidle puts it, “It’s all YOUR fault for being morons, you stupid infidels!” An update on this story. “Address on niqab not meant to be offensive: Imam,” by Charles Lewis in the National Post, October 23 (thanks to Kathy Shaidle): A Toronto imam said on Friday he did not intend to […]
Correct Understander of Islam explains to non-Muslims how jihadists Misunderstand Islam
Here yet again we see an Islamic scholar explaining to non-Muslims how jihad is essentially a benign concept. Yet for some reason mosques in America don’t seem to be hosting Dr. Mukhtasar Syamsuddin and asking him to explain the same thing to them. For some reason Dr. Mukhtasar Syamsuddin doesn’t seem to be reaching out […]
