“Democracy and the current system of education must be changed otherwise this war that is yet to start would continue for long.” Note the heavy reliance upon Islamic terms and concepts, and the insistence on representing the purity of Islam. Won’t Honest Ibe Hooper or some other “expert” go to Nigeria and explain to this […]

“Dear fellow Jews, what is so hard to understand about ‘we hate your guts, and will continue to kill and maim you’?”
“It has been said that a definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. Certainly, there can be no better explanation for Jews, and particularly liberal Jews to keep trying new ways of currying favour in the eyes of the Islamic world.” “Islam just isn’t into us,” […]
Summer camp in Gaza: Koran studies and reenactment of the kidnapping of Israeli soldier
But they sincerely want peace! And doesn’t the distribution of the Koran lead anyone to note that the rest of the camp activities are at variance with the teachings of the Book of Peace? “Gaza campers stage ‘Schalit abduction,’” by Yaakov Katz for the Jerusalem Post, Jul 27 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): Children in Hamas […]
More Honor Killings In The West, Yet No Outrage?
In Human Events this morning, Pamela Geller notes the general indifference to the recent spate of honor killings in the West: […] These are the victims of Western apathy and silence, and it’s only getting worse. Almost no one in the dinosaur media talks about honor killing. All those loud mouthed charlatans talk big when […]
Fitzgerald: Saint Sadat was not so saintly
The Coptic issue was under the supervision of President Abdel Nasser. After his death, president Sadat insisted on handing out the Coptic issue to the state security service because he believed that the Copts were dangerous to Egypt’s security. “From this time onwards, the persecution and humiliation of the Copts took priority for the state […]
Ezra Levant being sued by the same Muslim who sued Mark Steyn
Islamic supremacists can’t handle free speech. They can’t abide any negative talk about Muhammad and Islam, even if that negative talk consists essentially of quoting other Islamic supremacists in their use of the Qur’an and Sunnah to justify violence and that same Islamic supremacism. Sharia norms dictate that a dhimmi who speaks ill of Muhammad […]
Islamic group called “Education Is Sin” starts riot in Nigeria
They’re opposed to Western education as being against Sharia norms: the group wants to “clean the (Nigerian) system which is polluted by western education and uphold Sharia”h all over the country.” Imagine the quips, the digs, and the New York Times analyses if there were a Christian group calling itself “Education Is Sin.” This one, […]
Nigeria: Self-described “Taliban” attack police in northern states
Sharia is already in place in northern Nigeria, but even that is not enough. It never is, because Sharia is a package deal (lest one pick and choose from Allah’s own law). Thus, concessions toward it only set a precedent for more, and generate perpetual tension (and often violence) over how much Sharia is “enough,” […]
U.K. lawmakers urge gov’t to talk to Hamas “moderates”… wherever they are
“Moderate” doesn’t mean they’ll recognize Israel. Nor does it mean they’ll back off on the implementation of Sharia. It just means that, in some intangible sense, they don’t come across as being as bad as the next Hamas jihadist. Beyond that, faulty assumptions and unrealistic expectations abound. Did anyone really think not talking to Hamas […]
Muslim mob targets Christians for building church
The classic dhimmi laws forbid Christians to build new churches or rebuild old ones, and even today, when those laws are not fully observed in the Islamic world, it is devilishly difficult for Christians to get permits to build new houses of worship and to repair old ones — even in secular Turkey and the […]
Palestinian Authority official crows that Arafat deceived the world when he condemned terror
After all, war is deceit. “PA’s Dahlan: Arafat deceived the world,” by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook for Palestinian Media Watch, July 26: Dahlan: “Arafat would condemn [terror] operations by day while at night he would do honorable things” Dahlan: “Resistance [terror] is our right, a legal right” for Palestinians “in the proper place and […]
Saudi beauty queen wins without showing her face
The great beauty Who said there was no fun in Islam? Oh yeah, Khomeini said that. Well, he never experienced the Queen of Beautiful Morals contest! If only Bert Parks could have lived to see this! Sharia Alert from the Kingdom of the Two Holy Places: “Saudi beauty queen wins without showing her face,” from […]
New York convert to Islam “was yearning to become a Muslim jihad fighter”
This LA Times story ponders how Bryant Vinas, a convert to Islam who gave Al-Qaeda ops information on the New York subways, ended up with Al-Qaeda when he wasn’t in touch with the “jihadist pipeline.” We learn that he was “yearning to become a Muslim jihad fighter,” but how he came to this yearning is […]
Hamas to force Gaza women to cover hair
“Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit — for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear. We cannot disguise hostility towards any religion behind the pretence of liberalism….I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who […]
Michael Savage was banned from Britain so they wouldn’t appear to be banning only Islamic jihadists
Never mind that Islamic jihadists are actually the only group that wants to destroy British society and institute a system that institutionalizes discrimination against women and non-Muslims, and extinguishes the freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. One wouldn’t want to look as if one were picking on them. Absurd Britannia Update: “US shock jock […]
Chechnya: Five reported dead in suicide bombing
The bomber was attempting to enter a concert hall — a venue that would soon fall into disuse under Sharia law, in imitation of Muhammad’s own hostility toward music. “‘Five dead’ in suicide bombing in Grozny,” from Agence France-Presse, July 26: Five people were killed Sunday in a suicide bomb attack in the centre of […]
UK: Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand cleanser
It would be refreshing if British authorities treated this as a public health issue rather than one of multiculturalism, but at this point one can expect nothing. “Muslims refuse to use alcohol-based hand gels over religious beliefs,” from the Daily Mail, July 25 (thanks to all who sent this in): Some Muslims have refused to […]
Fitzgerald: “A Muslim doesn’t look to peace, security, education, work, or the love of any other number of things as his ultimate goals”
–˜A Muslim doesn’t look to peace, security, education, work, or the love of any other number of things as his ultimate goals,” al-Amriki said. “˜Instead, a Muslim is always working and striving to please the one true Creator.– — from this news article The problem is that many of those who now are our rulers, […]
Islamic groups lose appeal to silence journalist…in Texas
Ahmed Rehab and CAIR won their battle against free speech, but seven Islamic organizations in Texas were not successful in theirs. Nonetheless, one thing of which we can be certain is that they will not give up in their attempts to compel American non-Muslims to conform to Sharia norms prohibiting “insults” to Muhammad and Islam […]
Pakistan drags feet on Waziristan offensive
As long as they refuse to move troops from the border with India, they have the handy excuse of insufficient manpower. And the West looks inclined to buy it. “Delayed offensive wears at Pakistan’s antiterror credibility,” by Ben Arnoldy for the Christian Science Monitor, July 24: Peshawar, Pakistan — Doubts are mounting that the Pakistani […]
