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 […]
Somali women flogged for not wearing socks
Sharia Alert: A system such as Sharia, with insufficient (or mostly absent) limitations on power, lends itself to even more imaginative abuses than are explicitly stated in the letter of the law. “Somali women beaten for violating Islamic law, officials say,” by Mohammed Amiin Adow for CNN, October 29: (CNN) — Militants who control parts […]
Ah, that explains it: OIC initiated the Goldstone Report
The egregiously pro-jihad and anti-Israel Goldstone Report turns out to have been initiated by the Organization of the Islamic Conference — which explains why it was egregiously pro-jihad and anti-Israel. The OIC, don’t forget, is the chief foe of the freedom of speech around the world today, and is making a concerted effort to criminalize […]
Muslims threaten New York restaurant for serving alcohol
Yet another stealth jihad attempt to compel non-Muslims to change their behavior to accommodate Muslim sensibilities. “Spotted Piglet Hiccups: Boozy Breslin Clashes With Mosque,” by Meredith Bryan for the New York Observer, October 27 (thanks to Ed): The much-hyped, soon-to-open Breslin restaurant, situated in the 12-story Ace Hotel on Broadway and 29th, is giving members […]
Son of jihadist Detroit imam caught in Canada; two other jihadists still at large
“Abdullah beat children with sticks at his Detroit mosque, the complaint claimed, and was trained with his followers in the use of firearms, martial arts and swords.” Imagine the national media frenzy if that sentence were about a Catholic priest or an evangelical pastor. But this story will get media notice only because Abdullah was […]
Somalia: Islamic supremacists murder Christian woman for refusing to wear veil
“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state in our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That’s why the United States government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab […]
Muslims assault news photographer outside Detroit mosque where imam called for “offensive jihad”
Detroit imam and Misunderstander of Islam called followers to “offensive jihad”
Saying of agents: “Deal with them, deal with them the way, the way they supposed to be dealt with. … It’s not that complicated, man.” Unlike, apparently, the doctrine of Islamic jihad which, according to all the mainstream authorities, he has gotten wrong, wrong, wrong, despite being an imam and teacher of Islam. More on […]
Iraq arrests over 60 security force members — including 11 senior officers — over Baghdad bombings
The arrests “[seem] to confirm what many people have suspected – that the security forces are susceptible to infiltration by insurgents or are just not up to the job.” “Police arrested over Iraq bombing,” from BBC News, October 29: Iraq has arrested more than 60 security force members, including 11 senior officers over Sunday’s twin […]
Spencer: UN Aids Jihadis
In Human Events this morning I discuss yet another strange new initiative in that land of strange new initiatives, the UN: That they have broken up several major jihad plots in recent weeks is a tribute to American intelligence gathering and law enforcement. To them must go the credit for the fact that the U.S. […]
Detroit imam, “highly placed leader of a nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group,” killed in FBI raid
“The case involves the Joint Terrorism Task Force and prosecutors from the national security unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office.” Nonetheless, stand by for outrage and cries of victimhood from Islamic groups, regardless of what the evidence against this imam contains. “Leader of Detroit mosque killed, 11 charged in FBI raids,” by Paul Egan for […]
