Corrupted Scriptures and those who read them
In my comments on Daniel Pipes’ article on Allah and God yesterday, I wrote this: It is not actually Islamic doctrine that, as Pipes says, “Moses and Jesus introduced mistakes to the Word of God.” Their followers did that.

Muslim Man Sues Homeland Security
I have been doing a great deal of speaking around the country, and that means I have been doing a lot of flying.

Murdock: Bombers doing far worse to Quran
Syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock (thanks to Mackie) notes the hypocrisy of the ongoing Qur’an-abuse controversies: Associated Press reports, among others, document how militant Islamists treat Shiite shrines with all the deference the SS showed synagogues in the 1940s. “¢ June 1, 2005: A suicide bomber blasted the funeral of Mullah Abdul Fayaz, a moderate cleric, […]

Fitzgerald: First Thoughts On the Bush Speech
The President is speaking about Iraq, and Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald has some initial impressions: I have been watching someone on television positively hallucinating about “winning” some “war on terror” by sticking it out in a country called “Iraq” where there are citizens who think of themselves as “Iraqis” and who are […]
