D’Souza: If they want Sharia, let ’em have it!

Dec 30, 2007 7:16 am By Robert Spencer

In “Why the Left Hates Democracy,” my longtime sparring partner Dinesh D’Souza expresses his attachment to the democratic principle: an attachment so strong and unyielding that he says, If they want Sharia, let them have it! So why does the left hate democracy in the Muslim world? The reason is simple. Muslims are socially conservative […]

Who will mourn Aqsa Parvez?

Dec 29, 2007 10:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Khalid Hasan and I may have our differences, but I wholeheartedly applaud his courage and clear-sightedness in writing this in the Daily Times (thanks to all who sent this in): The most shameful part of the Aqsa tragedy lies in the online and offline rumours that those who consider themselves “rightly guided” have been circulating.

Assuming I’m an evil idiot…

Dec 29, 2007 8:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Hot on the heels of Why Can’t Muslims Debate? Part 1 and Part 2 comes this: Why Can’t Leftists (and Their Islamic Allies) Respect Those Who Disagree With Them? There is a tendency among those on the Left to assume that everyone with a point of view different from theirs is an idiot, as well […]

Osama: “We will not recognize even one inch for Jews in the land of Palestine as other Muslim leaders have”

Dec 29, 2007 6:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Osama bin Laden emerges from his hideout in this undated file photo Even a dog can walk around in the daylight. But not Osama bin Laden. “Blood for blood, destruction for destruction.” Blah for blah.

Khamenei: Today the Iranian nation is the standard-bearer of Islamic unity in the world

Dec 29, 2007 6:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Some Sunnis might beg to differ. But it is abundantly clear, particularly given Iran’s aid to Hamas and the Taliban, that this is how the mullahcracy has been trying to position itself. “Islamic unity is the lesson of Ghadir: Leader,” from the Tehran Times (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist): TEHRAN — Supreme Leader of the […]

Falsehood and provocation

Dec 29, 2007 9:49 am By Robert Spencer

A couple of housekeeping notes: 1. People say false things about me rather frequently — attributing to me statements I have never made, and positions I have never held. I suspect that this is because it is easier to dismiss a straw man than to deal with what I actually say. Usually these are better […]

India: Tensions high after pork found in mosque

Dec 29, 2007 9:04 am By Robert Spencer

Outrage. This reminds me of a story from about 1990 or 1991. There was a big Gay Pride march in a major American city. Afterward, I was talking to a couple of Catholic seminarians whose seminary was along the road the marchers used, and they said that marchers had slipped condoms through the mail slot […]

Ali Eteraz offers an easy fix

Dec 28, 2007 2:17 pm By Robert Spencer

Ali Eteraz at Pajamas Media suggests that if the U.S. would drop Musharraf and support an independent panel investigating the killing of Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistanis would wake up to the evils of political Islam and vote pro-American: An independent panel will likely conclude that it was the terrorists that killed Ms. Bhutto and not […]

Dinesh D’Souza flogs his dead horse

Dec 28, 2007 12:38 pm By Robert Spencer

In a piece entitled “Who’s Afraid of Benazir Bhutto?” (thanks to James), which seems to be about whether the jihadists or Musharraf killed Bhutto, my old debating partner Dinesh D’Souza revisits the disastrous thesis of his last book: that America’s immoral society has created the global jihad, as a reaction by beleaguered proponents of traditional […]

“In Shariah, democracy is un-Islamic. Our movement is completely against what you call democracy”

Dec 28, 2007 7:51 am By Marisol Seibold

Much better to leave it to a Tiny Minority of Extremists to wield all legislative, executive, and judicial power, eh? This story appears to precede Bhutto’s assassination yesterday, but is nonetheless highly relevant to yesterday’s events. “Taliban leader warns against using religion for electoral gains,” by Iqbal Khattak for the Daily Times: BANNU: A senior […]
