Jihadists kill nine government troops in southern Philippines

Jun 28, 2009 9:39 am By Marisol Seibold

When asked about the attack, the spokesman for the Moro Islamic Liberation Front took advantage of plausible deniability, saying “Our forces on the ground have autonomy. They can do whatever they want but it’s not sanctioned by the entire organization.” That tends to defeat the purpose of having an organization, unless the whole point is […]

Jun 28, 2009 4:58 am By Marisol Seibold

For most people, the intent to set off bombs in the first place is kind of a red flag. An update on this story. “Terror suspect’s fate could hinge on how much he knew about bombing plot,” from the Canadian Press, June 26: BRAMPTON, Ont. “” The fate of the only man to have pleaded […]

CNN journalist asks: “‘Punished mercilessly’ ““ Is this Islam?”

Jun 28, 2009 12:02 am By Marisol Seibold

There are two distinct, but converging forces at work that make the answer “yes.” The first is the despotism inherent in Sharia, or Islamic law. A kinder, gentler Sharia remains a theoretical construct of apologists and revisionist historians; it would require a syncretism of Sharia with the values found in a Western liberal democracy — […]

Germany: Accused jihadi denies Islamic jihad exists

Jun 27, 2009 12:55 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Belgium: Third of Moroccans feel Muslim, 7% Belgian

Jun 27, 2009 12:35 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Maybe that helps explain why years back jihadis saw Belgium as fertile ground for recruiting. “Belgium: Third of Moroccans feel Muslim, 7% Belgian,” from Islam in Europe, June 26: More than a third of Moroccans in Belgium feel Muslim first, barely 7% identify with the Belgian nationality. Nevertheless, the majority is Belgian, according to a […]

Uganda: Threats, expulsions for Christian couple

Jun 27, 2009 12:24 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

“Aleti Samusa … converted to Christianity; her family immediately kicked her out of their home.” Yes, one of those (all too common) stories. “Uganda: Threats, expulsions for Christian couple,” from Compass Direct News, June 26: Hostilities evident in Muslim area where missionaries were slain. NAIROBI, Kenya, June 26 (Compass Direct News) — When a young […]

UK: Muslim cop wins £11,000 payout for remarks that “left him feeling hurt, humiliated and depressed”

Jun 27, 2009 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine if you had £11,000 — over $18,000 — for every remark that left you feeling “hurt, humiliated and depressed.” Lots of failed actors, rejected suitors and American Idol contestants would be very rich people today. And do you think this chap would have been awarded $18,000 if he had been a non-Muslim police officer […]

Thug-In-Chief: “We are surprised at Mr. Obama. Didn’t he say that he was after change? Why did he interfere?”

Jun 27, 2009 6:07 am By Robert Spencer

Obama said of the protesters in Iran: “Their bravery in the face of brutality is a testament to their enduring pursuit of justice. The violence perpetrated against them is outrageous. In spite of the government’s efforts to keep the world from bearing witness to that violence, we see it and we condemn it.” But even […]

Iran’s Guardian Council praises “cleanest” election ever

Jun 27, 2009 2:07 am By Marisol Seibold

Oh, really now. Sure, they’re lying, but either way one takes the statement, it speaks volumes about the nexus of corruption and the Orwellian alternative reality that Islamic Republic upholds with deadly force. “Guardian Council praises ‘cleanest’ vote,” from Agence France-Presse, June 26: AFP – Iran’s electoral watchdog insisted on Friday that this month’s disputed […]

Interfaith dialogue: Senior mufti in Mecca says Shi’ite clerics are infidels

Jun 27, 2009 1:03 am By Marisol Seibold

And the Saudi establishment and others have been silent. One oddity is worth noting: Does the outrage of being treated as an “infidel” by a rival Islamic denomination ever cause the victims to question whether this dhimmitude thing is such a good idea? Or are they just anxious to reclaim their right to be the […]

Al-Qaeda on missionary killing: “With grace from Allah, we were able to assassinate him, kill him, and purify the land of Mauritania from his criminal presence”

Jun 27, 2009 12:04 am By Marisol Seibold

But dawah, or Islamic proselytizing all over the world is quite alright, of course: The most fundamental double standard in Islamic law — the one which generates all others with respect to believers and non-believers — is the rule that Islam has a right to propagate itself and other religions do not. The various forms […]

The Whitewashing of Soraya M.

Jun 26, 2009 2:51 pm By Robert Spencer

While Iranian-American protesters packed streetcorners in Westwood last Saturday afternoon in support of the revolution currently playing out in […]

Pakistan: Christian woman beaten and detained for “blasphemy”

Jun 26, 2009 1:42 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

“The Muslim women allegedly became angry and began to beat her. Some men then locked her in a room. Muslims announced from mosque loudspeakers a plan to punish Bibi by blackening her face and parading her through the village on a donkey.” Her great crime? She reportedly declared that “Our Christ is the true prophet […]

CAIR: Muslims to offer Qurans to 100,000 American leaders

Jun 26, 2009 12:21 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

No word, however, as to which “translation” will be used. Will it be one that is faithful to the original Arabic, or will it be an annotated/edited version that “smooths over” the Koran’s more violent, intolerant imperatives? “U.S. Muslims to Offer Qurans to 100,000 American Leaders,” from The Examiner, June 26: WASHINGTON (Map) – Major […]

Hizballah on Iran: “There are riots and attacks in the streets that are orchestrated from the outside in a bid to destabilise the country’s Islamic regime”

Jun 26, 2009 8:40 am By Robert Spencer

His blaming of the West is nothing new or original, but it is interesting that he seems to believe that the protests are aiming at toppling the Islamic regime, not just installing a different President within the same Sharia system. “Hezbollah accuses West of fomenting Iran turmoil,” by Rana Moussaoui for AFP, June 24 (thanks […]

Islamophobophobia and The Stoning of Soraya M.

Jun 26, 2009 6:12 am By Robert Spencer

Islamophobophobia: John Derbyshire coined the term to refer to his distaste for those (foremost among them me) who study how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam in order to justify terrorism and Islamic supremacism, and make recruits among peaceful Muslims. As far as John is concerned, we only do that because we’re […]
