Go back to sleep, everyone. Nothing to be concerned about here. The new PA PM is a “pragmatic former university administrator.” Probably he’s a gentle cuddly fellow, a lot like his fellow university prof and jihad supporter Sami Al-Arian. I’m sure that when he shouts “Death to America! Death to Israel!” he does it with […]

The noxious article with the title above is here. Waiting for the Guardian’s companion piece, entitled “Global Islamic violence, intimidation, and irrationality are feeding the cancer of Islamophobia”? Don’t hold your breath. You see, that too is the fault of the democratic nations. In the Western press, as in the Muslim press, the Islamic world […]

In Australia, evidently, the poor dhimmis can’t even make the suggestion that there is a Tiny Minority of Extremists That Has Hijacked The Religion of Peace. One must accept, however mountainous the evidence to the contrary, that all Muslims in Australia can readily accept and have readily accepted the Australian way of life. If you […]

I’ll believe this when I see it, but I’m heartened to see the President actually appearing to take steps toward something I have been advocating for several years, and that should have begun many years ago, as soon as Washington began to receive evidence that the global jihad was being financed by oil money. But […]

Great idea, Khamenei. After all, why should Infidels bear all the burden? From GulfNews, with thanks to Sr. Soph: Tehran/Cairo: Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called yesterday on Muslims worldwide to provide money to the Palestinians during his talks with the Islamic radical Hamas movement, state television reported. “We must make a plan so […]

I commend the courage of the Shams editors, but anyone could have foreseen this outcome. From GulfNews, with thanks to Sr. Soph: Riyadh: A Saudi newspaper was shut down on Monday following the printing of some of the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as part of a campaign for more action against Denmark, where […]

This applies even if your name contains “Allah” within it, as in “Callahan.” “What’s your name?” “Harry Callahan.” “What??? Callahan???? You have insulted Islam!!! You must die!!!!!” “Feel lucky, punk?” “Yahoo!Mail bans Allah and Dirty Harry handles,” from The Register, with thanks to Richard: Yahoo! is banning the use of allah in email names – […]

That’s from Cameron Cardow in, of all places, the Ottawa Citizen (thanks to Laurent). Speaking of the destruction of the Western artistic heritage, it is also useful to consider that little or nothing of what fills galleries and museums in the West would even have been produced in the first place if earlier jihads had […]

“UN faults Israel for halt in funds to Palestinians,” from Reuters, with thanks to Report: JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The U.N. envoy to the Middle East raised objections on Monday to Israel’s decision to withhold tax funds from the cash-strapped Palestinian Authority after a Hamas-led parliament was sworn in. Special Envoy Alvaro de Soto called the […]

Bishop Fisichella really seems to understand the dimensions of this problem — far better than most: “Not only is the destiny of Christian minorities living in the Muslim world at stake, but everyone’s freedom…” “Vatican: Leading Bishop Condemns Silence Over Anti-Christian Violence,” from AKI, with thanks to Twostellas: Rome, 20 Feb. (AKI) – A leading […]

Note the affirmations that this ruling is in accord with Islamic law and is binding on Muslims. Now would be a good time for the Muslim groups that have condemned cartoon violence to condemn this fatwa also. “Court issues fatwa on cartoonists,” from AFP, with thanks to Twostellas: AN Islamic court in India has issued […]

A newly revealed aspect of the Internet jihad. From the Tampa Tribune, with thanks to Twostellas: When Stacey Turmel placed an order online with Davida, an English motorcycle accessory company, she was looking for protective gear with style and comfort. But after plunking down $255 for a two-tone Deluxe Jet helmet, she found herself dragged […]

I am writing this from a stagecoach station in the Midwest, waiting for my connecting coach back to Secure Undisclosed Locationville; I’ve just arrived back in the United States by express transatlantic kayak from the Netherlands, where I have been for the last four days. I had the honor of being one of the speakers […]

From the American Thinker, more on the interconnectedness of jihad and terrorist organizations. Here’s what the documents tell us: On February 26th, 1993 the first world trade center was attacked by al-Qaeda and the EIJ[Egyptian Islamic Jihad] (really two organizations that cooperated in 1993 and eventually merged). A month later an official from EIJ was […]

From Frontpage Magazine I was ten years old when my home exploded around me, burying me under the rubble and leaving me to drink my blood to survive, as the perpetrators shouted “Allah Akbar!” My only crime was that I was a Christian living in a Christian town. At 10 years old, I learned the […]

From the Washington Times: Joint Chiefs of Staff planners have produced a 27-page briefing on the war on terror that seeks to explain how to win the “long war” and says Islamic extremists may be supported by 12 million Muslims worldwide. Military planners worry that al Qaeda could win if “traditional allies prefer accommodation.” Al […]

From AP: ISLAMABAD, Pakistan “” Pakistani security forces arrested hundreds of Islamic hard-liners, virtually sealed off the capital and used gunfire and tear gas Sunday to quell protests against caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Authorities in eastern Pakistan had banned protests after riots killed five people in two cities last week. Elsewhere in the Muslim […]

From the Australian: ISLAMIC leaders are disturbed Prime Minister John Howard has singled out the Muslim community as extremist and unwilling to becoming part of mainstream Australia. Mr Howard believes some Muslims migrating to Australia are bringing problems such as jihadist views and conservative attitudes to women not encountered with other immigrant groups. The Prime […]

Well, that works for me, too. From AP Osama bin Laden promised never to be captured alive and declared the U.S. had resorted to the same “repressive” tactics used by Saddam Hussein, according to an audiotape purportedly by the al-Qaida leader that was posted Monday on a militant Web site. The tape appeared to be […]

Flemming Rose speaks So, over two weeks we witnessed a half-dozen cases of self-censorship, pitting freedom of speech against the fear of confronting issues about Islam. This was a legitimate news story to cover, and Jyllands-Posten decided to do it by adopting the well-known journalistic principle: Show, don’t tell. I wrote to members of the […]
