Muslim charged with threatening to kill Rep. Eric Cantor: “Remember Eric . . . our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given. You are a liar, you’re a Lucifer, you’re a pig”
Leboon identifies himself as a Shi’ite Muslim — and certainly his vicious antisemitism is in keeping with Islamic attitudes toward Jews (cf. Qur’an 5:82, 5:59-60, etc.). “Phila. man charged with threatening GOP’s No2 in Congress,” by Joseph A. Slobodzian for the Philadelphia Inquirer, March 29 (thanks to Pamela): A Northeast Philadelphia man has been charged […]
Muslim students call for removal of “year of Our Lord” from diplomas at… Trinity University
It’s a private school that retains a “covenant” relationship with the Presbyterian Church. But nonetheless, “the year of Our Lord” is an affront to “diversity.” While these enterprising students are at it, how about “Trinity” University? They probably didn’t name it after the river that traverses eastern Texas. And just for grins, what of “San […]

Taliban actively training child suicide bombers
The intrepid mujahedin, bravely outsourcing the jihad to children. “New West Point report details meticulous training Taliban kids go through at Pakistani terror school,” by James Gordon Meek for the New York Daily News, March 28: WASHINGTON – Pakistani terror camps are teaching children the three R’s: reading, ‘riting and rage. Taliban suicide schools dotting […]
Indonesia: Crucifix could be “porn” under new law
The terminology was carefully chosen by the Sharia-inclined parties pushing this law. After all, what kind of person, they could ask, would object to curbing pornography? What kind of religious group would object? They can thus seize upon objections to portray their opponents as perverts and savages to an inattentive audience that projects their own […]
Indonesia’s largest Muslim organization rules in favor of underage marriages
Just the other day, they also ruled that Sharia takes precedence over civil law. That paves the way for rulings like this, which uphold Muhammad’s example above those pesky modern Indonesian laws about child welfare and human rights. “NU rules in favor of underage marriages,” by Muhammad Nafik and Andi Hajramurni for the Jakarta Post, […]
Baghdad: Islamic supremacists have “closed music stores, prohibited the mixing of the sexes, banned wedding parties, imposed the Islamic hijab on women and murdered gay men”
Noting that Islamic law forbids musical instruments will bring you swift charges of “ignorance” and “Islamophobia,” but the “militiamen” in Iraq who believe that music is un-Islamic are not ignorant “Islamophobes”: Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” […]
Two explosions in Moscow subway kill 20+; officials suspect suicide bombers
If the Russians are correct that these were suicide attacks, this would be yet another indication that aiding the Iranian jihad is not winning the Russians any points with the Chechen jihadists. “Twin Subway Blasts Kill at Least 20 in Moscow,” by Clifford J. Levy in the New York Times, March 29 (thanks to all […]
Good news: Minnesota school district working on complaints of anti-Muslim incidents with Hamas-linked group that has publicized fake anti-Muslim hate crimes
CAIR filed the complaint. School district officials uncritically and compliantly turned to CAIR for help. None appear to have dared to question (and probably none even thought to question) the veracity of the reports themselves, despite the Hamas-linked CAIR’s track record of publicizing fake hate crimes. “School leaders, CAIR meet over complaints,” by Dave Aeikens […]
