Deportation proceedings dropped against ex-Muslim “son of Hamas”
In his book Son of Hamas, Mosab Hassan Yousef says, “I am the son of a people who have been enslaved by corrupt systems for many centuries” (p. 248). One of those corrupt systems, in his view, is the Israeli government: “I was a prisoner of the Israelis when my eyes were opened to the […]
Fitzgerald: Panetta, Amore, e Fantasia
On Fox News, Leon Panetta, the present Director of the C.I.A., spoke about Anwar Al-Awlaki, the Muslim with American citizenship who, though born and raised in the United States, now from his perch in Yemen inspires other Muslims to commit acts of terrorism against Americans. Panetta noted that Al-Awlaki “had declared war on the United […]
Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America forbids Muslims to aid American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
For to do so would be “helping others in sin and transgression.” The Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America says on its website: “AMJA recognizes that human brotherhood is the basic principle that should govern the relations between all peoples and nations. Therefore, the pursuit of peace and goodwill between all nations should be a […]
Indonesian lawmaker says government supporting Islamic supremacist vigilantes
“The organisation is now part of the conflict management strategy the Indonesian military exercises to maintain its power.” Yes, in modern, moderate Indonesia! “Indonesia army behind Islamist thugs, lawmaker says,” by Presi Mandari for AFP, June 30: JAKARTA (AFP) – An Indonesian lawmaker on Wednesday accused the security forces of secretly supporting Islamist vigilantes as […]
New addition!
I’m happy to say that with this morning’s mail, I was just able to add the book on the right (heh) in the photo above to my shelf of books that I’ve written, cowritten, and edited. It is, of course, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America by Pamela Geller with Robert Spencer […]
Iraqi Christians ask Baghdad government to defend minority rights
This will be an uphill battle, because the Baghdad government has pro-Sharia constituencies that are far more numerous and powerful than the Iraqi Christians. “Iraqi Christian Leaders Call on Baghdad Government to Defend Minority Rights,” from Al-Bawaba via AINA, June 30: On Saturday, the CSI co-sponsored 2nd All-Iraqi Christian Leadership Conference issued an eight-point appeal […]
Spencer interview: “The problem of jihad has been drastically misdiagnosed by the authorities, leading to numerous policy errors”
I was recently interviewed by Folks Magazine’s founder and editor-in-chief, U. Mahesh Prabhu. The whole interview is here, along with some prefatory material that embarrassingly praises me overmuch, but if you can get past that, the interview may be of some interest — although I see in retrospect that I was a bit terse. Here […]
Spencer: The Honor Killing of Aqsa Parvez
In Human Events yesterday I discussed the recent life sentences given to the father and brother of Aqsa Parvez. They murdered her for Islamic honor: Muhammad Parvez and his son Waqas murdered Aqsa Parvez, Muhammad’s daughter and Waqas’s sister, on December 10, 2007, because she wasn’t behaving the way a good Muslim girl should. Last […]
Panetta: Jihadist cleric has “declared war” on the U.S.
In these remarks Panetta continues the atomization of the global jihad that is essentially official Obama Administration policy. He will recognize that Anwar al-Awlaki has declared war on the U.S., and that al-Qaeda has declared war on the U.S., but he and others in the Administration and the State Department establishment will neither acknowledge nor […]
Misunderstander of Islam involved in jihad plot at JFK Airport pleads guilty to lesser charge
The mastermind of this jihad plot was a cargo handler at JFK Airport — because no one would dream of preventing Muslims from taking such sensitive jobs around airplanes, or even questioning them about their beliefs and loyalties before hiring them. That would be “Islamophobic,” and who cares if one of these jihad plots ultimately […]
Muslim FBI informant ostracized by Muslim community in U.S.
One would have thought that the Vast Majority of loyal, patriotic American Muslims would celebrate Mahmoud Omar as a hero. Why don’t they? Why does a man who helped the FBI against jihadists say, “I lost my people. I lost my religion”? And why don’t authorities ask that question, and seek answers to it? “From […]
Afghan police bust factory making demon rum
Non-Afghan anti-moonshining police “O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside in order that ye may succeed. Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of strong drink and games of chance, and to […]
Sudanese police arrest models after fashion show
More fashion jihad, although this one seems to be directed more at the mixing of the sexes than at the fashion show itself. What fun they will have in Paris. Sharia Alert: “Police arrest models after fashion show,” from Reuters, June 28 (thanks to Block Ness): KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudanese police briefly detained more than […]
Telegraph recycles Gaza war photo to distort today’s reality
Pro-jihad mainstream media bias is universal and relentless. And the Telegraph is one of the more modest offenders. “Telegraph Caught Recycling Gaza War Photo to Distort Today’s Reality,” from Honest Reporting, June 29 (thanks to Andy Infdl): Why does the Daily Telegraph choose to reuse an image from the 2009 Gaza conflict to inaccurately portray […]
Slow day for Muslim outrage: Muslims find “Christian fashion show” to enrage them
The fashion show was “Christian” in the sense that it was held in a Christian village. Hamas would make sure that Christians would abide by Islamic Sharia norms. “Wherever there are Christians there’s moral decline.” Sharia Alert: “Christian fashion show angers Muslims,” from the Irish Sun, June 28 (thanks to Twostellas): A fashion show held […]
French PM to Muslims: “You should stand in the front line against this hijacking of the religious message”
It is true that Muhammad in a hadith says that women should cover everything but face and hands. The face veil is on shakier Islamic ground. Nonetheless, Fillon’s appeal is likely to fall on deaf ears, as do all such appeals from non-Muslim leaders. “French PM urges Muslims to reject ‘hijacked Islam,’” by Elizabeth Pineau […]
UK: Innocent couple dies in house fire in botched honor killing
The honor murderers got the wrong house. In any case, here is yet more evidence of the broad tolerance for honor murders in Islamic communities in the West. “Innocent couple died ‘after wrong house was fire-bombed in bungled honour killing,’” from the Daily Mail, June 29 (thanks to Ray): An innocent couple died in a […]
US, UK indifferent to Iraq’s jihad against gays
Here is yet more evidence of the welcoming attitude toward Sharia, even in its most draconian aspects, on the part of Western governments. “US and UK failing to take Iraq’s gay pogrom seriously: Both countries deny any Iraqi state involvement in anti-gay militias, but LGBT supporters suggest otherwise,” by Paul Canning in The Guardian (Comment […]
Irked Turks close airspace to some Israeli flights
Still summoning faux outrage and fanning the flames of war, trying to isolate Israel for defending itself from the Jihad Flotilla: “Turkey closes airspace to some Israeli flights,” by Suzan Fraser for Associated Press, June 28 (thanks to JCB): ANKARA, Turkey – Turkey has closed its airspace to some Israeli military flights following a deadly […]
