…Again. Once was bizarre enough, but then again, the man is a qualified authority on bizarre behavior. “Gadhafi gives lesson on Islam to young Italians,” by Nicole Winfield for the Associated Press, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): ROME — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a lesson on Islam and copies of […]

“The mosque developers are tax deadbeats,” to the tune of $224,270.77
Remember, this group could qualify for taxpayer-supported public financing. Looks like they need to pony up a little taxpayer support of their own. Still more on this story. “Mosque big owes 224G tax,” by Isabel Vincent and Melissa Klein for the New York Post, August 29 (thanks to all who sent this in): The mosque […]
Waiter-turned-millionaire Ground Zero mega-mosque developer El-Gamal has a history of thuggishness
The thuggish, in-your-face aspect of the desire to build a mosque at Ground Zero has by now been amply documented: belying their claims to be building it only to affect reconciliation and peace, mosque leaders have smeared all opponents of the mosque as racists and bigots and refused all entreaties to put their mosque elsewhere. […]
Oh, waiter: Ground-Zero Gamal won’t answer questions about his real estate dealings
The thug who lost his cool yesterday, snapping at the press and acting as if he had something to hide, apparently has a lot to hide. Why would the Ground Zero mosque proponents employ what is, by all appearances, the worst possible man to conduct a supposedly open and transparent fundraising process? Obviously, it should […]
FBI: Hate crimes against Muslims rare
This is why they have to fabricate them. Remember: the thuggish Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has actually trumpeted fake anti-Muslim hate crimes in the past, in order to use them to score political points. They did this again just weeks ago in Georgia. CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case, has claimed […]
Awkward: Mosque developer, imam clash in front of press over media access
And El-Gamal loses his cool, which seems to happen an awful lot, in a pattern going back many years. Gamal was apparently caught off-guard here, and clearly acted as though he had something to hide. “Mosque Meeting in Disarray,” by Sumathi Reddy for the Wall Street Journal, August 28 (thanks to all who sent this […]
“Your tax dollars at work”: Ground Zero mega-mosque could get public financing
As if you didn’t already know you have a personal stake in the outcome of this project. Imagine, as a New York taxpayer, a piece of your daily labor being appropriated to enable its construction. When developers get a break that’s made possible with public money — say, for a football stadium — there is […]
Afghanistan: Jihadists in U.S. Army uniforms attack NATO base
Quoth Muhammad: “War is deceit.” “Insurgents attack 2 bases in east Afghanistan,” by Rahim Faiez for the Associated Press, August 28: KABUL, Afghanistan – Insurgents wearing U.S. Army uniforms launched pre-dawn attacks Saturday on a major NATO base in eastern Afghanistan and a nearby camp where seven CIA employees were killed last year in a […]
Italy: No tax revenues to mosques
“Politicians from the ruling coalition cite radical imams, polygamy and failure to uphold women’s rights by Muslims immigrants as obstacles to recognising Islam as an official religion in Italy.” All eminently reasonable concerns. Meanwhile, the standard response from “moderates” would be to insist these issues have nothing to do with Islam, but are in fact […]
Nigeria “Education Is Sin” jihad group suspected in targeted killings of three police officers
Western education, that is. Islamic education, fine. “Nigeria killings raise fears of Muslim sect’s return,” from The Associated Press, August 27 (thanks to Twostellas): MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — The targeted killing of three police officers in northern Nigeria has investigators worried a radical Muslim sect may be making a violent comeback. Two state police commissioners told […]
Canada jihad terror suspects worshiped at same mosque in Montreal
How is it that they attended this mosque, and so were apparently reasonably observant Muslims, and yet misunderstood Islam so as to think it had something to do with terrorism? Were they influenced by anything they heard at this mosque? What is being taught at this mosque? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? “Two terror […]
Muslim Brotherhood emerging as backer of Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
What a surprise: the group dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within” has connections to the “moderate” Ground Zero mosque. “Mosque’s Saudi Patron,” from Investor’s Business Daily, August 26: Islamofascism: New dots are emerging from the probe into who’s behind the Ground Zero mosque, and the radical Muslim Brotherhood […]
Secret supporter of Spencer wants Muslims to stab him
This odd one came through Facebook. This “secret supporter” of mine is going to encourage Muslims to attack and stab me. Of course, the overheated rhetoric of Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacists is directly responsible for this and a similar message Pamela Geller received from the same person. Contrary to this message, we do […]
How about that: Muslims in Canadian jihad plot were apparently really swell guys
Educated, well off, respected in the community. Decent fellows. Then, if poverty and lack of education didn’t cause their jihad, there must be something else. And gee, this is always so awkward: if those factors can’t explain it, there must be something else. Something else, something else… ill-fitting shoes? Radio station renege on its promise […]
Islamophobes fear uptick in violence on key Ramadan dates — no, wait, Somalis do
And certainly they’ve seen enough jihad to detect a pattern or two. But when we say it, we’re Islamophobes. Or in the mind of Daisy Khan, “metastasized antisemites!” “Somalia fears key Ramadan dates will bring more attacks,” from the Mail & Guardian, August 27 (thanks to Twostellas): Mogadishu’s battered civilian population is bracing itself for […]
The allegedly compassionate, the purportedly merciful: Pakistani Taliban threaten attacks on flood aid workers
It’s just plain bad for business to have non-believers, who are the vilest of creatures per Qur’an 98:6 — the Qur’an being Allah’s own words to a believing Muslim — engaged in acts of mercy. Folks might stop and reconsider whether they’re really so vile. Can’t have that; no “good Samaritans” need apply. It must […]
Jihad Watch: Hotter than Hot Air
Jihad Watch is continuing to experience a sharp rise in readership, as you can see from the graph above. When Jihad Watch reader James sent me this comparison, I was shocked, since Hot Air, of course, is a very, very well-traveled site. Click on the graph to enlarge it and go to the Site Analytics […]
Iran bans pet ads, brands dogs “unclean”
Of course, so did the prophet of Islam: “Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, […]
Britain braces for new jihad attacks as 800 “radicalized” prisoners are released
So what is being done now to make sure that no more prisoners are “radicalized” while incarcerated? What’s that? Nothing at all, you say? To do something effective about it would be “Islamophobic,” you say? Well, then, by all means cease and desist! Death before political incorrectness! “Britain faces new terror wave,” by Duncan Gardham […]
Muslim relief organizations discriminating against Christian refugees in Pakistan
No doubt these relief organizations are acting this way because they’re enraged by the “Islamophobia” kicked up by opponents of the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero. If it weren’t for all that “Islamophobia,” the lion would lie down with the lamb, Obama and Sarah Palin would run on the same ticket, and Pakistani Muslims […]
