UK: Muslim “youth” walks free after “mistaken” attack on priest
It was a “mistake,” not a jihad. Cut Babul Islam some slack. After all, I mistakenly beat someone up just the other day. Mistakes will be made. “Youth walks free after gang attack on priest,” by Suzy Austin in Metro.co.uk, June 24 (thanks to Shirley): A drunken teenager who beat up a priest walked free […]
Anti-dhimmitude in Oz: Attorney General rejects Muslim request to legalize polygamy
A morsel of cultural self-defense. “No recognition for polygamous marriage: A-G,” from Australia’s ABC News, June 25 (thanks to all who sent this in): The Federal Government has rejected calls from two Muslim leaders to recognise polygamous marriage. The President of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, Keysar Trad, says women should be allowed to […]
Michigan: Hizballah defendant rejects Jewish judge
…but is rebuffed, I’m happy to say. “Mich. man: Judge can’t be fair because he’s Jewish,” from AP, June 24 (thanks to all who sent this in): DETROIT (AP) “” A judge rejected a Lebanese-born defendant’s request that he remove himself from a case involving terrorism because the judge is Jewish.

Bawer: The Times, It Ain’t a-Changin”
Bruce Bawer has a thought-provoking piece in Pajamas Media today, “The Times, It Ain’t A-Changin’,” about what we have pointed out here many times: that “just as it once did with the dangers of Stalinism and Hitlerism, the New York Times is doing its best to whitewash the threat of Islam.” That’s why we call […]
Spencer: George Orwell meets the OIC
In Human Events today I discuss the latest developments in the Islamic world’s war on free speech (news links in the original): “We sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed.” That sounds like the statement of a victor in a war, dictating terms to the vanquished. […]
Spencer: Free Speech Dies at the UN
In FrontPage today I discuss the death of free speech at the UN Human Rights Council (news links in the original): The war against free speech is advancing rapidly: Associated Press reported Thursday that “Muslim countries have won a battle to prevent Islam from being criticised during debates by the UN Human Rights Council.” Council […]

“It’s part of a systemic — and very effective — campaign to ethnically cleanse the area of any non-Muslims.” Islamic Tolerance Alert. “Iraqi Christians are targets of cleansing, committee told: One in three a refugee, but Chaldo-Assyrians want to remain in country,” by Jennifer Green for The Ottawa Citizen, June 18 (thanks to Nicolei): Muslim […]
Iraqi research group says poverty causes women to become suicide bombers (which is why there are so many female Haitian suicide bombers)
Jihad Watch reader Nicolei, who kindly sent this in, comments: “The Iraqi Christians are just as poor if not worse off than the Iraqi Muslims. Yet the Christians don’t resort to suicide bombings. Have the Muslims ever wondered why the ‘evil Zionists and Americans’ had not or could not recruit any of the poor Christian […]
“I am in favour of his death”
Sharia Alert: “Afghanistan: Death penalty call for man who spread Koran translation,” by Syed Saleem Shahzad in AKI, June 23: Islam of course carries the death penalty for any number of “transgressions,” but one wonders if Muslims ever ask themselves why it is that so many would-be reformers and organizations are bent on “reinterpreting” their […]
Iraq: U.S.-allied pol opens fire on U.S. troops, kills 2
I have pointed out many, many times that there is no reliable way to distinguish jihadists from peaceful Muslims. Here is yet another indication of that. But the implications of this remain unexplored, in Iraq and domestically. “U.S.-allied Iraqi politician opens fire on U.S. troops, killing 2,” by Mohammed Al Dulaimy and Hannah Allam for […]
Bill Warner: Measuring Mohammed and Dhimmitude
The superb analyst Bill Warner measures our dhimmitude: If you are willing to do some math that is no harder than counting how many apples you have in your shopping cart, you can measure the core of Islamic political doctrine found in Mohammed’s biography, the Sira, a sacred text. What is surprising is that once […]
Muslims’ Danish-Dutch boycott designed to bring about “universal law that prohibits the defamation of any prophet or religion”
Buy these products! The goal of the boycott, you see, is a “universal law” forbidding “defamation of religions” — which in practice will mean forbidding honest discussion of the jihad and Islamic supremacism. “Boycott campaign moves ahead, issues new poster,” by Linda Hindi for Jordan Times, June 20 (thanks to Diana West): AMMAN – The […]
“Not a soul appears to have said, ‘Brother, you know this stuff ain’t sanctioned by the old Koran.'”
In writing about the Khawaja trial in Canada, Christie Blatchford exposes with a single observation the utter intellectual vacuity of the “Islam Is A Religion Of Peace That Has Been Hijacked By A Tiny Minority Of Extremists” idea: “Not a soul appears to have said, ‘Brother, you know this stuff ain’t sanctioned by the old […]
Jihadists hit Israel with rockets, breaking “truce”
Well, that took even less time than usual — making it even clearer than it was already that the truce offer itself was just an attempt to buy a respite for the jihadists and get Israel to put its guard down. “Rockets hit Israel, which says truce broken,” from AP, June 24 (thanks to the […]
“World events are forcing us to look beyond our comfort barriers”
“A closer look at Islam,” by Joe Sarnicola in The Citizen, June 21: About 20 people gave up a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon to learn more about Islam at the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Ontario Thought Police: Maclean’s mag “contributing to Islamophobia and promoting societal intolerance towards Muslim, Arab and South Asian Canadians”
This weaselly, mealy-mouthed statement from the Thought Police comes from April 9, but I just saw it today, and so although I don’t usually post archived material, I believe it provides important background on what the Thought Police are thinking as they close in on free speech. “Commission Statement Concerning Issues Raised By Complaints Against […]

Canadian jihadist: “The kuffar [infidels] are treacherous and understand only death and destruction”
A bit of projection there. This guy was plotting to attack civilian targets in London, including possibly a night club and power grids, and he says that unbelievers understand only death and destruction.”Khawaja lived for jihad, Crown alleges,” by Colin Freeze in the Globe and Mail, June 23 (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist): OTTAWA “” […]
