Jul 30, 2008 1:07 pm By Robert Spencer

They did “exactly what you would do if you had a nuclear weapon on a Scud or a Shahab-3 or other missile, and you wanted to explode it over the United States.” “U.S. Intel: Iran Plans Nuclear Strike on U.S.,” by Kenneth R. Timmerman for NewsMax, July 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): […]

Jul 30, 2008 12:50 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhammad said: “Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).” However, he also said, “A woman was tortured and was put in Hell because of a cat which she had kept locked till it died of hunger.” […]

Afghan charged with blasphemy faces death if convicted, vigilante murder if acquitted

Jul 30, 2008 12:24 pm By Robert Spencer

The Qur’an, according to traditional Islamic theology, exists and can exist only in Arabic. Its Arabic language is essential to its character. Translations have long been forbidden, but they are allowed for purposes of da’wah — Islamic proselytizing. Muslims themselves produce translations into almost all of the languages of the world. But Zalmay’s translation, according […]

Banning all religions the only solution to combatting radical Islam?

Jul 30, 2008 9:50 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Reacting to the recent poll which revealed some “disturbing” things about the UK’s Muslim youth, and instead of having the guts to simply lay the blame where it belongs, Ms. Marrin thinks the only remedy is to ban all religous groups, including Christian schools. “To beat extremism we must dissolve religious groups,” by Minette Marrin […]

Rand declares new strategy to defeat al-Qaeda!

Jul 30, 2008 9:13 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Basically, to replace the term “war on terror” with “counter-terrorism.” More silly semantics. “New strategy ‘can beat al-Qaeda,’” from the BBC, July 29: Al-Qaeda can be defeated if the US relies less on force and more on intelligence and policing to find its leaders, a leading US think-tank says. In a new report, the Rand […]

UK: play director fears “offending” Muslims

Jul 30, 2008 8:21 am By Raymond Ibrahim

While the director of the National Theater revels in offending Christians, he is ultra careful not to offend Muslims. What’s worse, he offends Christians by introducing extra-scriptural material (such as Jesus being “a bit gay”), which is offensive for the simple reason that it is not warranted and misrepresentative of Christianity; that is, it has […]

Fitzgerald: A tribute to James K. Glassman

Jul 30, 2008 7:35 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

“This is an effort that requires credible Muslim voices to work effectively “” especially voices of those, like Fadl, born Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, and known as Dr. Fadil, whose story was told recently by Lawrence Wright in the New Yorker. Fadl helped build the Al Qaeda ideology and now repudiates it for its wanton violence.” […]

Fitzgerald: “Islamism” and Islam

Jul 30, 2008 7:08 am By Hugh Fitzgerald

“Islamism” is not a helpful invention. Apostates from Islam, Wafa Sultan and Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Ibn Warraq, treat it dismissively. It represents an attempt to somehow appeal to Muslims — that is, to those who are thought of as “moderate” possibly because they remain largely ignorant of the texts of Islam, or because they […]

Marriage, blackmail, rape: Al-Qaeda’s methods for recruiting female suicide bombers in Iraq

Jul 30, 2008 6:23 am By Marisol Seibold

Here, al-Qaeda is exploiting the injustices of Sharia law — including the subjugation of women, and the danger of reporting a rape without four witnesses — and the culture it creates to trap women into doing their bidding to advance the cause of imposing Sharia in Iraq.

Call for whitewashing Islam to be taught as a compulsory subject in universities

Jul 30, 2008 5:33 am By Robert Spencer

The call comes from Malaysia, but it is in response to the “Western media’s misrepresentation of Islam.” Only in the eighth paragraph do we get any hint of the possibility that Muslims, and not just the Western media, might be responsible for some of the negative perceptions non-Muslims have of them. But the key element […]

Hirsi Ali seeks police protection in US

Jul 29, 2008 4:30 pm By Robert Spencer

She’s seeking it from the Dutch government. But if the American government had any sense of what it is really up against in this conflict against jihadists worldwide, and who the real warriors are against those jihadists, Hirsi Ali would get protection from the U.S. “Netherlands: Former MP Hirsi Ali seeks police protection in US,” […]

Amidst carnage, “Holy War leader” calls for “inter-Palestinian dialogue”

Jul 29, 2008 1:05 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Trying to pull taqiyya on seasoned veterans of taqiyya. Regardless, Hamas and Fatah — one nationality, one language, one religion (the one that “counts,” anyway) — continue persecuting and killing each other, all for the whole world to see, while, of course, accusing Israel of being the real oppressive force. “Islamic Jihad: inter-Palestinian dialogue only […]

UK: poll results finding that 1/3 of Muslims support murder in the name of religion are a result of “vague” and “misleading” questions, which were “willfully misinterpreted,” say Muslims
