India: Muslims protest shrine deal, one dead, fifteen injured

Aug 31, 2008 6:50 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Insolent Hindus dare to not only annex their own former lands from Sayf al-Islam, but use them for mushrik worship. According to the strictest reading of “sharia,” Hindus aren’t even worthy of dhimmi status, so imagine the effrontery. “Muslims protest after IHK shrine deal,” from Daily Times, August 30: One killed, 15 injured as forces, […]

Pakistan: “Suicide attacks an attempt to defame Islam”

Aug 31, 2008 9:19 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Now if that was the case, surely all the haters of Christianity living in the West would be detonating themselves on a daily basis while screaming “Jesus is great!” — you know, to “defame” Christianity. For some reason or other, instead of defaming Christianity by killing themselves in its name (which doesn’t seem very logical), […]

Ramadan, high food prices, and the eating habits of “warriors”

Aug 31, 2008 8:16 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Ramadan is nearly upon us. As this story notes, aside from confronting daily violence, Muslims across the world are broke and will have a hard time with escalating food prices. How exactly that relates to Ramadan, not sure. If anything, now that Muslims will be eating at least fewer total meals, one would assume they […]

Blogging the Qur’an: Suras 41, “Explained in Detail,” and 42, “Consultation”

Aug 31, 2008 7:50 am By Robert Spencer

According to Muhammad’s first biographer, Ibn Ishaq, sura 41 was revealed to Muhammad after Utba bin Rabi’a, a chieftan of the pagan Quraysh, offered Muhammad a series of proposals to “which if he accepts in part, we will give him whatever he wants, and he will leave us in peace.” Utba approached Muhammad and reminded […]

Italian museum displays crucified frog sculpture, Christians riot, demand restrictions on free speech — no, wait…

Aug 31, 2008 7:27 am By Robert Spencer

The Pope asked them to take the thing down. They refused. That’s the end of the matter. There will be — and I know I’m really going out on a limb here — no riots, and no Christian bodies dictating to the museum or anyone else about “red lines that should not be crossed.” But […]

Pakistani writer: Suicide attacks in Pakistan unjustified

Aug 31, 2008 7:16 am By Robert Spencer

Why does he condemn suicide attacks in Pakistan? Because it’s wrong, and forbidden in Islam, to kill innocent people. So far so good — but then it turns out that he seems to think that such attacks in Afghanistan, against American forces, are just fine. They aren’t innocent, you see. And it is upon this […]

Aug 31, 2008 12:04 am By Marisol Seibold

The extremely low age of marriage for girls — after the example of Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha — doesn’t help, either.

Australian Arab leader defends blood libels

Aug 30, 2008 9:32 am By Robert Spencer

How could he not do so? The idea that Allah cursed the Jews and transformed some of them into apes and pigs is thrice repeated in the Qur’an: 2:63-66, 5:59-60, and 7:166.
