“Costa Rica hoped to encourage peace talks on Feb. 5 when it recognized a Palestinian state – a key demand on the part of the Palestinians.” Sure. Just give them everything they want and maybe there will be peace. To recognize a “state” that has not renounced territorial claims on the rest of Israel, and […]

Bridge for sale: Deobandis say “terrorism” is un-Islamic

Feb 26, 2008 1:13 am By Marisol Seibold

That’s nice. But two missing links render such condemnations of “terrorism” hollow: One is the matter of armed jihadist activity: The question of when and whether it is legitimate to use violence to further Islamic causes is left untouched. The other is the definition of innocents. We’re expected to supply our own cultural definition of […]

Australia jihadist: “The student understands. I tell him what Allah said and he can then decide.”

Feb 26, 2008 1:07 am By Marisol Seibold

Inherent in that statement is a challenge to prosecutors to examine the Qur’an, ahadith and Sira themselves and confront the passages that call for open-ended warfare to effect the conversion, subjugation, or death of unbelievers. It would be great if such an examination of Islamic texts and teachings were actually to take place, but Benbrika […]

Harvard gym submits to Islam

Feb 25, 2008 9:28 am By Robert Spencer

“We live together in one community, it only makes sense for everyone to compromise slightly in order for everyone to live happily.” Sure. But the ideology you are accommodating is itself uncompromising, and supremacist. “To accommodate Muslim students, Harvard tries women-only gym hours,” by Abbie Ruzicka in the Daily Free Press (thanks to Writer Mom): […]

They hate us for our immorality, right?

Feb 25, 2008 8:38 am By Robert Spencer

In the mainstream media’s never-ending quest to ignore or downplay the jihad imperative within Islam, and to attribute the present global jihad to some other factor or factors — any factor, as long as it’s external to Islam — few farragos have been as ridiculous (or as successful in bamboozling those aching to be bamboozled) […]

Feb 25, 2008 7:56 am By Robert Spencer

Give me Bugs any day They suggest that the Danish cartoonists drew the cartoons to mock the Muslims’ weakness, but by Allah, they’ll show them. They’ll kill those cartoonists for love of Muhammad.

Blogging the Qur’an: Sura 17, “The Night Journey,” verse 1

Feb 25, 2008 7:21 am By Robert Spencer

Muhammad’s famous Night Journey (Isra and Miraj) is the basis of the Islamic claim to Jerusalem as an Islamic holy city. The only thing the Qur’an has to say about it is this the first verse of sura 17, which says that Allah took Muhammad from “the Sacred Mosque” in Mecca “to the farthest [al-aqsa] […]

“˜Misinterpretation of Islam “” root cause of terrorism”

Feb 24, 2008 7:54 pm By Robert Spencer

That Proper Interpretation of Islam which will allow for Muslims to coexist peacefully with non-Muslims as equals on an indefinite basis, without implementing any endeavor to impose Sharia, continues to be the great unicorn in which everyone believes but no one has actually seen. It would be great for the Pakistani authorities to reform the […]
