Clearly the Copts’ plight in Egypt is becoming better known, internationally; yet it is still obvious that the world outside still seems to view it as something of a “sectarian” split, where Copts and Muslims are equally “to blame.” While this may sound plausible, it defies Islamic theology (not to mention Christian), as well as […]

Uzbekistan: War on Terror must not be seen as War on Islam
Method-as-Entity Alert. “War on terror must not be interpreted as confrontation with Islam – Uzbek foreign minister,” from Interfax, September 29: Tashkent, September 29, Interfax – Tashkent has insisted that combat against terrorism should not be transformed into Islamophobia. Speaking at a coordinating ministerial session of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), Uzbek Foreign […]
UK Muslim sues supermarket for making him carry beer on a forklift
This appears to be part of an effort to force the store to stop carrying alcohol altogether — which illustrates the supremacist element in Muslim demands for accommodation. Muhammad laid curses not only upon those who drank alcohol, but those who distributed it and transported it also; however, only recently have Muslims in the West […]
Obama goes to war against freedom of speech
“See those Islamophobes, Barack? It’s time to call out the Thought Police!” By now a gazillion sites have posted this from the State of Missouri’s site, “Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement.” What interests me most about it is the eerie parallel between the Obama camp’s activity here and […]
Slapstick Jihad triumphs again at the UN Human Rights Council
Comments by David G. Littman (representative to the UN of the Association of World Education and the World Union of Progressive Judaism): Once again, Egyptian Counsellor Amr Roshdy Hassan cowed into conformism all the Members of the Human Rights Council by using slapstick jihad ad hominem attacks on NGOs in order to combat truth. This […]
U.K.: High-ranking Tory says party would cancel legal status for sharia courts if elected
There are many promising pledges in this interview, if only the party will stand with her and follow through on them. “Conservatives would ban sharia courts, says shadow minister,” by Jon Swaine for the Telegraph, September 28: A Conservative government would ban sharia courts and impose a tough crackdown on Islamic extremism, the shadow security […]
U.K.: Islamic cleric warns of more attacks over Jewel of Medina after publisher was firebombed
An update on this story. “Radical Islamic clerics warn of further attacks after publisher is firebombed,” by John Bingham for the Telegraph, September 28: Hardline clerics said that further attacks would be “inevitable” if publication of the novel, The Jewel of Medina, goes ahead as planned next month. Police moved in to arrest three men […]

Rand Simberg says that the symptoms correspond to those caused by radiation poisoning. “Pirates die strangely after taking Iranian ship,” by Andrew Donaldson for the Times of Johannesburg, South Africa, September 28 (thanks to LGF): A tense standoff has developed in waters off Somalia over an Iranian merchant ship laden with a mysterious cargo that […]
Winning the lottery
It’s Sunday afternoon. Relax. Enjoy this short. It has been floating around for awhile, but it still retains its punch. (Be forewarned: there are a couple of vulgarities in it.) And note the YouTube comments on it about the “hoax” of the war on terror — as if there aren’t people like these men in […]
Malaysia proposes convention on Islamophobia in U.S
The country that only recently had a fit because a concert performer was deemed “too sexy,” that seized Christian books and arrested Americans who promoted Christianity, and that refuses to allow people the freedom to renounce Islam — yes, this same nation wishes to educate Americans about “Islamophobia” and “religious tolerance.” More on this story. […]
Syrian Foreign Minister on car bomb: the Zionists did it
As I predicted here. “Syrian FM: Israel has most to gain from terror attack,” by Roee Nahmias for Ynet News, September 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Saturday in response to the fatal attack in Damascus that “Israel is one of those who have the most to […]
UK: Are women submitting to sharia courts voluntarily?
The UK’s logic seems to be that, since both parties are willing to abide by the decision of a third part, in this case, the sharia court, and all parties concerned are doing so willingly, then it’s legal. But, as this report points out, what of those veiled Muslim women in Britain who know no […]
Over one million European Christians kidnapped and enslaved by Muslims
Robert Davis’ book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800 has actually been out for several years, but I keep getting sent the press release below about it, and since it contains valuable information that is largely forgotten amid all the historical whitewash, I thought it would […]
UK: Al-Qaeda actively recruiting prisoners for the “jihad against Britain”
Perfect candidates, too, since their “training” can be deemed nearly complete. More on radical Islam’s appeal to “mischievous” men here. “Al-Qaeda bid to recruit inmates,” by David Leppard for Times Online, September 28: AL-QAEDA terrorists have targeted 800 Muslim criminals they want to recruit for their “holy war” against Britain, say prison probation officers. The […]
EU terror chief says “political correctness” is “hampering campaign against militant Islam”
While the French commissioner feels things have already gone “too far in blaming the Muslim communities.” “Don’t be soft on Islam, says EU terror chief,” by Jason Burke for the Guardian, September 28: Europe’s anti-terror chief has launched a stinging attack on the political correctness that he says is hampering the campaign against militant Islam.

America as the last man standing
“In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?” Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, chairman Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem (which I hope to be attending). The speech was sponsored […]
Blogging the Qur’an: Suras 49, “The Chambers,” 50, “Qaf,” 51, “The Winnowing Winds,” and 52, “The Mount”
The late Medinan sura 49 begins with Allah telling the believers how to behave in the presence of Muhammad (vv. 1-5). One may wonder why a perfect and eternal book that contains religious and ethical instruction that is valid for all time would contain a section that applied only to people who lived in the […]
Wilders: “You have almost lost Europe. I think it’s one minute to 12:00.”
Yesterday I interviewed Geert Wilders, the courageous Dutch politician who produced Fitna, and I hope soon to put the interview up here. Meanwhile, he appeared on the Glenn Beck show, explained to him — as I have said so many times — that there is no moderate Islam, and “scared the living pant crap” out […]
UK: Nine-year-old girl rescued from forced marriage
The wonders of multiculturalism. Muhammad, of course, consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine and he was in his fifties. And in this, as in everything else, he is considered exemplary in Islam — an “excellent example of conduct” according to Qur’an 33:21. Therefore British authorities will be seeing more and more of […]
