No good deed goes unpunished: two Christian aid groups in Afghanistan suspended on suspicion of proselytizing
The Afghan Constitution guarantees religious freedom within the bounds of Sharia. A few years ago Abdul Rahman, a convert from Islam to Christianity, was put on trial for his life for apostasy — so as to show bemused Westerners what “religious freedom within the bounds of Sharia” really means. And now this. “2 Christian aid […]

Pandering doesn’t work: Obama’s approval numbers dropping in Muslim countries
Obama’s principal adviser on Muslim matters, Dalia Mogahed, reports: “U.S. has made little headway among Arabic-speaking Muslims under Obama, Gallup finds,” from The Daily Caller, May 30. She ascribes the drop to Obama’s failure to follow through on his pandering: The country where Obama delivered his high-profile speech to the Muslim world is also the […]
Sanity in Italy: Asylum for jihadist imam revoked

An update on this story. “Italy: Minister revokes imam’s political asylum,” from AKI, May 28 (thanks to all who sent this in): Varese, 28 May (AKI) – Italy’s interior minister Roberto Maroni revoked the political asylum granted to a radical Islamist preacher after […]
“The un-terrorist case”: Trial of four Muslims accused of plotting to bomb NY synagogues and shoot down military planes will not focus on whether they were members of jihad terror group
This is, of course, settled policy: manifest Islamic jihad activity is classified as something else, and the larger connections and implications ignored or denied outright. The most common explanation for why authorities do this is that they fear a backlash against innocent Muslims if the jihad angle of these cases were to be highlighted, and […]

Dhimmi Brits allow Islamic hate preacher to enter UK
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss: the previous government blocked freedom fighter Geert Wilders from entering Britain (although that ban was eventually overturned). This one is allowing in hate-filled Islamic supremacists. Dhimmitude in Britain: “Muslim preacher of hate is let into Britain,” by David Leppard for The Sunday Times, May 30 (thanks […]
Late to the party, Bangladesh gets around to banning Facebook over Motoons
“Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” was a couple of weeks ago, Pakistan has already lifted its ban (partially, anyway), and Bangladesh hurries to show that it hates free speech too. Note that AP’s headline again refers to Muhammad as a “prophet” without qualification, as if we’re all Muslims now — and as is common mainstream media […]

Clueless NYC mayor backs Islamic supremacist mosque at Ground Zero
Bloomberg, like so many, is confused. He assumes a priori that Islam is simply a religion like Judaism and Christianity, and thus that it can fit easily into the American civic framework the way Judaism and Christianity do. He seems to have no idea whatsoever of the political and supremacist aspects of Islamic teaching, and […]

Jihad Watch reader LazyBuddha, who kindly sent this in, summarizes: “A 23 year old ‘immigrant’ punches a 78 year old woman in the face and kills her. He gets 22 months!!

Cantoni): New York, 29 May (AKI) – Three United Nations human rights experts have called on the Pakistani Government to […]
Islamic cleric in Sweden instigated suicide attack on U.S. embassy in 2004

South African paper that published Motoon: “We regret the offense caused by the cartoon and the pain experienced by many Muslims around the country.”
Honestly: Pain? If a cartoon is that much of a source of emotional suffering — especially compared to the crimes committed daily by what we’re told are “hijackers” and “misunderstanders” of Islam — your priorities are seriously out of order, to say the least. And that again proves the point of Zapiro’s cartoon, pictured above. […]
