Egyptian Muslim Council: Building a church is a sin against Allah
The dhimmis, or non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state, according to a manual of Islamic law endorsed by Al-Azhar University in Cairo as reflective of Sunni orthodoxy, “are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property.” Among these Islamic rules: they “are forbidden to build […]
Rifqa Bary: “My father was very intent on making sure that his children, and especially me, were raised deeply in the faith of ‘Original Islam’ which was taught at the Noor Center”
Rifqa Bary‘s lawyer John Stemberger just held a press conference and released these two pdfs. One is Rifqa’s own statement, and the other details the jihadist ties of the Noor Islamic Center in Columbus, Ohio, the mosque of Rifqa’s parents. I was on the conference call, and heard Stemberger make the case that Rifqa’s parents […]
Muslim father threatens to kill daughter for leaving Islam; Muslims claim victim status
This is, of course, how Islamic groups in the U.S. have reacted to every act of violence and every threat that any Muslim has issued in recent years: they’ve raised fears of a non-existent “backlash” and claimed they’re being persecuted, rather than address the root causes of the violence and brutality within their own community. […]
Florida: Muslim girl sits for Pledge of Allegiance. Non-Muslim girl asks her why she doesn’t act proud to be an American. Guess who got suspended.
UPDATE: It has just come to my attention that school officials say Heather Lawrence lied about this incident (thanks to Sanjay). The larger questions remain. ————- “But whether standing up or not, this issue’s not about the pledge of allegiance or anything else. This is about bullying and it’s about discrimination.” So says Ahmed Bedier, […]
Fitzgerald: Why America’s “reputation” among Muslims has “taken a hit”
–The problem here, however, is that when it comes to Islamic jihadists, virtually anything short of full capitulation is perceived as arrogant, uncaring or insulting. Any resistance to the jihad agenda is immediately cast as a grievous insult that must be redressed– You are partially right, but the mistake you keep making is that these […]
Saudi lawyer wants apology for Motoons
Sure, as soon as you apologize for jihad “It should be a clear, public and unconditional apology for the offence and harm caused by their newspaper,” Yamani said. I think that he and the Organization of the Islamic Conference and other Muslim groups and spokesmen should issue a clear, public, and unconditional apology for the […]
“In our epoch of intellectual jihadism, this honest book is essential to understand the challenges of the twenty-first century”
My ninth and newest book, The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran, will be out September 21 from Regnery Publishing. Here are some advance reviews of the new book: “Robert Spencer incarnates intellectual courage when, all over the world, governments, intellectuals, churches, universities and media crawl under a hegemonic Universal Caliphate”˜s New Order. His achievement […]
Pull my finger: Jihadist who blew himself up on Saudi prince’s private jet hid explosives in his anus
There may have been, uh, dry runs for this sort of thing. “Saudi tightens security to protect oil plants,” from GulfNews, August 31 (thanks to Iraq the Model): KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia has tightened security at oil facilities after the country’s anti-terror chief, Deputy Interior Minister Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, escaped a suicide attack, […]
Somalia: Muslims murder convert from Islam to Christianity
“Rev. Lorenz is then quoted in a local television station report saying that if a Muslim leaves his religion and does not return to Islam in a couple of days, then he must be killed. He claims that someone showed him the verse. There is no such verse, Rev. Lorenz. In every faith, apostasy is […]
Question of the day
Yesterday, when I posted this particularly entertaining bit of hate mail, some people asked me to post more. Well, even though there are some regular hate emailers whose emails I never even see, since their messages are programmed to go directly into the Trash file, I still receive plenty — so here is the Question […]
Good luck with that: Russian president asks Muslim clerics for help to counter jihadists
Medvedev refers to the jihadists’ “unorthodox views on Islam,” indicating that like his counterparts in the West, he believes that Islam is a Religion of Peaceâ„¢. Yet the relative peacefulness of the Islam in the Caucasus was a product of cultural accommodation, not theological reform. Medvedev would no doubt be quite surprised — as surprised […]
Is the death penalty for apostasy in the Qur’an? Yes it is, sweet little Rifqa
Salam al-Marayati of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, a thoroughly unpleasant character with whom I have appeared on many radio shows (on which he invariably likens me to Osama bin Laden, although I have never flown any planes into buildings, beheaded anyone, or exhorted anyone to do so), attacks Rifqa Bary, the seventeen-year-old girl who […]
Fitzgerald: “No, it’s not, sweet little Rifqa” or, The Obscene Condescensions of Salam Al-Marayati
“In an exercise of intellectual honesty it would have been appropriate to link to Salam Al-Marayati’s entire column instead of selecting one quote then launch into a rant. It would have been even more appropriate if Al-Marayati’s latest column on Rifqa Bary, your most recent ‘Let’s-Save-the-Muslim-Teen-Girl-From-the-Bloodthirsty-Muslims’ poster child (Mmm, it’s always teen girls, isn’t it?), […]
UK shame: Lockerbie bomber freed to grease oil deal
So he murdered a few Infidels. Who cares? Lockerbie Bomber Update: “Lockerbie bomber ‘set free for oil,’” by Jason Allardyce for The Sunday Times, August 30 (thanks to Sr. Soph): The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for […]
“are you from the tribe that the all mighty turned into monkeys & pigs?”
A choice morsel from this morning’s Hate Mail Bag. What is he on about? He is referring to the passages in the Qur’an in which Allah curses Jews and transforms them into monkeys and pigs (2:62-65; 5:59-60; 7:166). Feel the compassion, feel the mercy: are you from the tribe that the all mighty turned into […]
Denmark: “All the Danes and Jews must die”
23 families have been forced to move out of an apartment complex because of one other family, identified only as “Lebanese,” that subjected them to “harassment, violence and threats” on a “daily basis,” including their children “throwing rocks and spitting at other families in the building’s playground area. When they were told to stop, their […]
Fitzgerald: Salam al-Marayati, loyalty, and patriotism
“Executive Director Salam Al-Marayati is the newest blogger for the popular website The Huffington Post. Here is an excerpt from his first blog: “˜As Muslims, when we take an oath of citizenship or allegiance, it is tantamount to making an oath with God: “And be true to your bond with God whenever you bind yourselves […]
Palestinian jihadists fire another rocket, shells into Israel
But…but…they sincerely want peace! “IAF strikes Gaza smuggling tunnel after Qassam attack,” from Haaretz, August 30 (thanks to all who sent this in): Israel Air Force planes struck a tunnel in the northern Gaza Strip early Sunday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a Qassam rocket into the western Negev early Saturday. The rocket hit […]
Iran wants talks with Muslim states on Iraq
“I want you to arrange a meeting with the heads of the Five Families. This war stops now.” Oh, the Sunnis hate the Shi’ites, And the Iranians hate the Saudis, And the Syrians hate the Iraqis, And everybody hates the Jews. But during National Umma Week, National Umma Week, It’s National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-while-our-hearts-curse-them-umma Week. Be nice […]
