Canada: “Muslim convert thirsty for knowledge” pleads guilty to role in terror group
He was a “Muslim convert thirsty for knowledge,” and yet he ended up with the wrong crowd — you know, the violent jihad crowd.

Danish paper caves to Muslim intimidation, apologizes for publishing Motoons
No apology from me Several years ago I was speaking somewhere and someone in the audience challenged me for having the notorious caricature of Muhammad with his bomb in his turban, above, on the sidebar of this website.

Japan offered to hide Bamiyan statues, but Taliban asked Japan to convert to Islam instead
As far as the Taliban is concerned, the Bamiyan Buddhas were worthless trash from the jahiliyya period of Afghanistan — the time of pre-Islamic ignorance. “Japan offered to hide Bamiyan statues, but Taliban asked Japan to convert to Islam instead,” from Japan Today, February 27 (thanks to Twostellas): WASHINGTON — Japan offered to hide Afghanistan’s […]

Iran equips airports with body scanners
I’ll bet you thought body scanners were un-Islamic. After all, didn’t the Fiqh Council of North America just say so? And yet here they are being installed in, of all places, the Islamic Republic of Iran — here is the Fars News Agency story (thanks to Block Ness). Should the Islamic Republic of Iran be […]
Qaddafi calls for jihad against Switzerland because of minaret ban
Who would have thought that the legendary Libyan “strongman” would turn out to be a Misunderstander of Islam?

Egyptian Muslim cleric: “Brothers, we pray to Allah that we be terrorists, if terror means Jihad for the sake of Allah”
Recently there was some controversy over whether Joseph Stack’s flying an airplane into a building in Texas ought to be called “terrorism.” CAIR was complaining that only Muslims are ever labeled terrorists, which of course is patently false, but in any case I think the whole discussion was based on false premises. Anyone can apply […]
Islamic preacher who called Jews ‘filth’ to speak at London university
Will the Islamophobia never end? But seriously, how could King’s College allow this? Has multiculturalism and political correctness rotted their judgment to such a degree that a Muslim preacher can say anything and do anything and still receive their approval? Or are they themselves antisemitic enough — as Leftists increasingly tend to be — to […]
“I Should Have Read My Islamic Marriage Contract”

Time magazine runs story on human rights in Egypt with no mention of Copts’ or women’s rights
No, this story is all about the Muslim Brotherhood — presented as an innocent party with no nefarious agenda. Just pious, disenfranchised, moderate folks.
