Ayatollah Mohammad Imami-Kashani says that the Islamic Republic of Iran is founded upon Islam. So this bloody and repressive regime is an example of what Islamic law brings to a country? Surely then the Ayatollah Mohammad Imami-Kashani must be a misunderstander of Islam! For if Iran really were built upon Islam, it would be peaceful […]

Detroit: Muslims at funeral of jihadist imam call for an end to jihadist violence, Islamic supremacism — no, wait…
Actually they were calling for “justice,” by which they mean that the shooting of Luqman Abdullah was an act of injustice. They’re trying to shift attention away from the jihadist violence allegedly being plotted at the Masjid al-Haqq, and onto the supposed excess of the FBI reaction. “Muslims call for justice at funeral for lslamic […]
Raided Detroit mosque: “we ain’t no jihadist overthrow organization”
Do you think this sympathetic article would have been written this way about a Christian church whose pastor was killed in a gun battle with the FBI? “Slain mosque leader mourned,” by Charlie LeDuff for The Detroit News, October 31 (thanks to James): Detroit — The brotherhood of the Masjid Al-Haqq mosque gathered for Friday […]
Thailand: “More than 3900 people have died in shootings, bomb blasts, beheadings and crucifixions” since 2004
This AFP story departs from ordinary mainstream media practice by actually identifying the Thai jihadists as “Islamic,” and adds a final paragraph that is, well, killer: more than 3900 people (but apparently fewer than 4000), it says, have been killed “in shootings, bomb blasts, beheadings and crucifixions” since the jihad in Thailand began in 2004. […]
Brother-on-brother Islamic honor killing in Seattle
Here is yet another variation on the honor killing theme, coming hot on the heels of the New York woman who tried to kill her husband because he was insufficiently Muslim. In this variation (thanks to Block Ness), a Muslim from Afghanistan beats his brother to death for repeating an insulting remark about his wife. […]
Caught: Muslim father who attempted honor killing in Arizona
Note the egregious, completely gratuitous attack on Rifqa Bary and defense of Islam at the end of this story. The mainstream media continues to feel itself compelled to run interference for Muslims as a group whenever a Muslim behaves badly — a courtesy they never accord to other groups. An update on this story. “Muslim […]
New York: Methodist wife slits husband’s throat because he wasn’t religious enough — no, wait…
Pious Sheikh Naseem sounds like an abusive husband, but the main problem the wife had was that he wasn’t an observant Muslim. And her solution to that was to cut his throat. Why is it that this sort of solution to impiety only ever seems to occur to Muslims? “New Brighton wife tried to kill […]
African-American Muslims denounce Detroit jihadists, pledge deeper cooperation with FBI — no, wait…
In reality, they’re complaining about the “demonizing” of Muslims. What did you expect? “African-American Muslims question leader’s death,” by Niraj Warikoo for the Detroit Free Press, October 29: The death of Luqman Ameen Abdullah – the Muslim leader shot dead Wednesday by FBI agents after he allegedly first opened fire – was mourned and criticized […]
Clinton to Pakistanis on Al-Qaeda top dogs: “I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are, and couldn’t get to them if they really wanted to”
Challenging them on Al-Qaeda, but not on women’s rights But of course the Pakistani authorities say they’re doing all they can. As they did all through the years in which they were funneling American anti-terror money to the jihadists they were supposed to be fighting. “Clinton Challenges Pakistanis on Al Qaeda,” by Mark Landler in […]
Spencer: Detroit Jihad
Another jihad arrest, and more non-cooperation from Muslim leaders. My column in Front Page this morning: Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the imam of Detroit’s Masjid Al-Haqq (Mosque of Truth), was killed Wednesday in a shootout with FBI agents. The agents were trying to arrest him on charges of conspiracy, receipt of stolen goods, firearms offenses and […]
