ACLU, CAIR ask for Congressional hearings on monitoring of California mosques

May 29, 2008 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

CAIR’s Corey Saylor asks: “Has faith moved from a personal choice to probable cause?” He asks this, mind you, about apparent surveillance of The Islamic Center of San Diego, where, according to the article, “two of the 9/11 hijackers worshiped in early 2000.” He asks this, mind you, as a member of a “civil rights” […]

Fitzgerald: UNRWA and the “Palestinian” “refugees”

May 29, 2008 9:09 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

“Reform in UNRWA”? UNRWA is at this point a wholly-owned subsidiary of the PLO, or the “Palestinian” Authority, or of the Arab League, or of the two slightly-diverging branches of the PLO, the Fast Jihadists of Hamas and the Slow Jihadists of Fatah, who share the same ultimate goals but differ only on tactics and […]

Merkel’s party in Germany: Only Christians from Iraq, please

May 29, 2008 8:25 am By Robert Spencer

The clear subtext here is that Christians will assimilate better into Germany than Muslims will. The addition of Mandaeans and Yazidis also suggests that there is a tacit recognition, among the CDU at least, that Muslim refugees bring with them a program of supremacism and a challenge to non-Muslim societal structures. This statement, then, is […]

Cardinal Tauran: “Sometimes you should like religious authorities to be more outspoken about violence in the name of religion. But Muslims believe the Qur’an is the divine word of God, so it is a problem”

May 29, 2008 8:18 am By Robert Spencer

The Cardinal’s point is well-taken, and one we have made many times here: violent jihad and Islamic supremacism are deeply rooted in the Qur’an, so the only way Muslims could possibly reject them would be to reject Qur’anic literalism — and that is extremely unlikely. And unfortunately, when he says, “There is no worldwide authority […]

Keith Olbermann: anti-jihadists are the “equivalents of jihadists”

May 29, 2008 7:00 am By Robert Spencer

Recently Pamela Geller, Charles Johnson and Michelle Malkin pointed out that a new Dunkin’ Donuts ad featured Rachael Ray wearing a Palestinian kaffiyeh. What’s wrong with that? People in the Middle East, including Arabic-speaking Christians, wore it long before the establishment of the State of Israel and the invention of the “Palestinian” nationality. But there […]

Church of England: UK will be “Islamic nation” in 2038

May 28, 2008 5:05 pm By Robert Spencer

“This progress has been enthusiastically assisted by this government in particular with its hard-line multi-cultural dogma and willingness to concede to virtually every demand made by Muslims.” “Religious trends and our religious future,” from the Church of England News (thanks to LGF): If recent reports of trends in religious observance prove to be correct, then […]

CAIR Board Chairman: War on Terror is war against Islam

May 28, 2008 12:39 pm By Robert Spencer

There is a great deal of whining victimology in this article. I have not reproduced below the material about the disproportionate percentage of Muslims in European prisons. There is in the article, of course, no consideration at all of the possibility that they might commit crimes at a higher rate than the general population, out […]

“The Palestinians are in the refugee camps because the Arab nations want them in refugee camps in order to perpetuate political hatred against Israel”

May 28, 2008 12:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Eliot Engel speaks truth to power. “US congressmen demand UNRWA reform,” by Etgar Lefkovits for the Jerusalem Post, May 27 (thanks to Louis): A group of bipartisan US congressmen is urging reform in UNRWA, the UN body that deals exclusively with Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and calling for alternative solutions to the containment of […]

May 28, 2008 11:40 am By Robert Spencer

That’ll do it, all right. Here is yet another update from our bulging “Not Just Al-Qaeda” files: “Jamaat-e-Islami Leader: We Are Fighting For Islamic Revolution In Pakistan,” from the MEMRI Blog, May 27 : Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami leader Muhammad Hussain Mehnati has said that his party is fighting for an Islamic revolution in Pakistan.

The naive New Republic

May 28, 2008 10:41 am By Robert Spencer

The New Republic shares this naivete with many, many analysts in the West. From “Dangerous naivety” in The Spectator, May 28 (thanks to Mick): The New Republic has published an article by Peter Bergen and Paul Cruickshank which claims that al Qaeda is unravelling because former supporters are turning against it, and that as a […]

Muslim woman wages Internet jihad in Belgium

May 28, 2008 8:55 am By Robert Spencer

Guess who Belgian authorities ought to see this as sedition, for Malika El Aroud would certainly want to see Sharia come to Belgium, and non-Muslims and women subjugated. And she is working for that end by agitating for jihad. “Al Qaeda Warrior Uses Internet to Rally Women,” by Elaine Sciolino and Souad Mekhennet for the […]

Fitzgerald: A tribute to Fouad Ajami

May 28, 2008 8:52 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

Al-Sistani, who doesn’t want jihad against the Americans for the “time being,” was, some will recall, “nominated” in print by excitable Tom Friedman, always-ready-to-declare-his-latest-enthusiasm Tom Friedman, grand-simplifier Tom Friedman, as a suitable candidate for a Nobel Prize for Peace. That neither latest, nor greatest, of a long succession of friedmanian ludicrous remarks (not too ludicrous […]

Muslim workers complain to EEOC after firings for refusing to wear uniforms

May 28, 2008 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

Have you ever noticed how many of these things happen in Minneapolis? The Sharia cab controversy, the Target checkout personnel refusing to handle pork, the publicly-funded Islamic school, and now this. The Muslim Brotherhood — the Muslim American Society — was behind the cab controversy. Might it be behind these other things as well? “Muslim […]

Australian Muslim group cries “racism” after Islamic school rejection

May 28, 2008 7:45 am By Robert Spencer

A couple gazillion people sent me the story yesterday about the Australian council’s refusal to allow an Islamic school. I didn’t put it up, since council officials insisted that the refusal had nothing to do with resisting Islamic supremacism or preserving Australian culture. “The proposed development was flawed on environmental and planning grounds” — surmountable […]

Honor killing in Germany: she wanted to live like other German girls

May 27, 2008 7:53 pm By Robert Spencer

She wanted to live like a German, as did Hatin Sürücü. And so again, the same question that was asked when Hatin Sürücü was murdered: “How many more women have to die before this society wakes up?” “Honor Killing Victim Wanted to Live Like other German Girls,” from Spiegel (thanks to all who sent this […]

50,000 to 100,000 U.S. Muslims in polygamous families

May 27, 2008 7:35 pm By Robert Spencer

“Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said that a minority of Muslims take second wives, and that Islamic scholars would differ on whether one could do so while living in the United States.” He didn’t say anything about obeying American law. Sharia Alert: “Some Muslims in U.S. Quietly Engage in Polygamy,” […]
