Jihadists using Google Earth
Google grows increasingly irresponsible, partisan, and — as this story shows — dangerously naive. “We’re not the bad guys: Google Earth boss,” by Stephen Hutcheon for the Sydney Morning Herald, January 31 (thanks to David): The head of Google Earth has hit back at those who claim that the free virtual mapping program is to […]
Fitzgerald: Ian Buruma, Geert Wilders, hatred, and ignorance
Ian Buruma, who has been given to some remarkable pronouncements on Islam, published on Friday a remarkable article in The New York Times on Geert Wilders. The article, “Totally Tolerant, Up To A Point,” was intended essentially to blacken the name of Geert Wilders, to present him — for likening the Qur’an to Mein Kampf […]
Pakistan: Muslim clerics call for Christian’s death after purportedly “blasphemous” text message
Who said sharia can’t be “modernized?” This story shows how its ability to harass and intimidate can be extended to all manner of previously unforeseen scenarios and new media! “Christian activist’s life in danger after arrest on blasphemy charges,” by Qaiser Felix for AsiaNews, January 30: Islamabad (AsiaNews) — The life of Hector Aleem, the […]
Beware of CAIR!
CAIR’s Honest Ibe Hooper in happier days We’ve been warning about CAIR for years, while CAIR has used its trademark intimidation and smear tactics to marginalize and silence its critics. But now at last the truth is coming out. “Beware Of CAIR,” from Investor’s Business Daily, January 30 (thanks to Ruth King): Homeland Security: You’d […]
Wilders is right: “The truth of the matter is ‘Fitna’ is simply reflecting how radical Muslims think and act, inspired and encouraged by the Koran.”
Prosecuted for speaking the truth Dr. Sami Alrabaa, an ex-Muslim, is a professor of Sociology and an Arab/Muslim culture specialist. Before moving to Germany he taught at Kuwait University, King Saud University, and Michigan State University. “Wilders Prosecution is a Welcome Opportunity to Expose Islam,” by Dr. Sami Alrabaa at Canada Free Press, January 31: […]
Hamas: Tony Blair “stupid” for asking it to recognize Israel and renounce violence
Not schmart He is stupid to think that Hamas will ever sincerely do this, but his stupidity is shared by most policymakers today, as Hugh explains here. This kind of stupidity stems directly from an ignorance of the Islamic doctrines of jihad and Islamic supremacism. “Hamas: Blair’s statements ‘stupid,’” by Roee Nahmias for Ynet News, […]
Fitzgerald: The Ill-Founded Assumptions of Obama’s Address To Muslims
The notion that America managed, under Bush, to lose some kind of special place in the affections of the Muslim world — a special place that it possessed because America “had no colonial legacy” — is the kind of thing you read in the cheesiest potted summaries of the postwar period (“because, boys and girls, […]

Roseanne Barr for the jihad!
Friend of jihadists Blithely ignorant of or indifferent to the probability that her jihadist friends would stone her to death if they had the chance, Roseanne Barr (via the New York Post) wants Bruce Springsteen to come out for the jihad at the Super Bowl. (And as addled as he is, he just might.) BRUCE […]
“I believe in…uh…nothing in particular”
“If you go to an Anglican Church service you expect to hear an Anglican service.” Uh, yeah. Unless the dhimmis are in the driver’s seat, such that now Christians can’t even be Christians in a Christian worship service. Absurd Britannia Alert: “Silenced Christian soldiers: Sandhurst chaplain bans Creed ‘so services won’t offend minority religions,’” by […]
Iran: Obama wants to talk because the U.S. has failed
Gholam Hossein Elham with the Thug-In-Chief: Gloating Gholam Hossein Elham can see this clearly. The mullahs can see this clearly. Does the President and his advisers really believe that Obama’s offer to talk to Iran can be seen as anything other than a declaration of weakness and failure? “Iran says Obama’s offer to talk shows […]
UK: Muslim population rising 10 times faster than non-Muslim population
“The implications are very substantial. Some of the Muslim population, by no means all of them, are the least socially and economically integrated of any in the United Kingdom … and the one most associated with political dissatisfaction.” The implications of this are more substantial than that. Among the Muslims in Britain are a substantial […]
Spencer on PJTV
Yesterday here in Los Angeles I appeared on Pajamas TV, discussing some recent developments in the global jihad with Roger L. Simon. Subscribe to watch! And yes, those are my pajamas.

The first three are here: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 In the 1720s the German professor Johann Heinrich Schulze (1687–1744) showed that certain silver salts, most notably silver chloride and silver nitrate, darken in the presence of light, not heat as some scholars had previously believed (the process […]
Genocide dreams from Riyadh
From “Heaven@Zionists.com,” with an IP address tracing to Riyadh in our Friend and Ally Saudi Arabia, comes this gem — just in from the Hate Mail Bag: It was always my wish to turn my body into deadly shrapnel against the Zionists and to knock on Heaven’s doors with the skulls of Zionists.

Father Zakaria Botros on CAIR’s radar
“This stuff is in your own books!” It’s not enough that al-Qaeda has called Fr Zakaria Botros “one of the most wanted infidels in the world,” issuing a 60 million dollar bounty on his head, or that popular Arabic magazines call him “Islam’s public enemy #1“; now, as expected, CAIR is getting in on the […]
UK: Convert and Misunderstander of Islam gets life sentence for botched jihad attack

CIA convert to Islam accused of multiple rapes
Not, of course, that there’s anything about Islam that might have encouraged this sort of behavior. If guilty, he was probably the sort of man that was already inclined to raping, regardless of religious affiliation . The question here, however, is: did converting to that one religion that treats women as inferiors on the one […]
