Texas: “Arlington woman” sentenced to 10 years for car chase, pipe bombs
That “Arlington woman” would be one Kimberly al-Homsi, the Muslim woman who has been picked up for highly suspicious behavior at Dallas Love Field, and who shut down a Fort Worth highway for five hours after leading police on a chase that yielded a cache of pipe bombs when a patch of ice finally stopped […]
Texas Board of Education passes resolution challenging pro-Islamic bias in textbooks
What is often lost in this discussion is the idea that the Board has the right and duty to exercise quality control over the content of its textbooks, and it would be reasonable for any such body to be concerned about bias, double standards, and agenda-driven statements in those books. The problem that responsibility is […]
Sharif El-Gamal, thuggish developer of Ground Zero mega-mosque, to address banquet of Hamas-linked CAIR
The waiter-turned-millionaire developer (a transformation not yet satisfactorily explained) Sharif El-Gamal has said that “when you beat up someone physically you get exercise & stress relief,” and he has a history of run-ins with the law. And now he shows us yet again how “moderate” the entire Ground Zero mosque initiative really is: he is […]
Thug-In-Chief: U.S. staged 9/11 to assure Israel’s survival
And he held up a copy of the Qur’an, which should have been a cue to every “moderate” Muslim leader in the U.S., from Feisal Abdul Rauf to Honest Ibe Hooper, Brave Ahmed Rehab, Salam al-Marayati and the rest of the rogue’s gallery to explain how Ahmadinejad, with his vicious antisemitism and genocidal aspirations, is […]
Turkish general confesses to burning down a mosque, blaming it on non-Muslims
In Cyprus in 1974. This is reminiscent of how CAIR and others have not hesitated to stoop even to fabricating “hate crimes.” They want and need hate crimes against Muslims, because they can use them as weapons to intimidate people into remaining silent about the jihad threat. “Retired general confesses to burning mosque to fire […]
Aafia Siddiqui sentenced to 86 years for attempted murder of U.S. soldiers and FBI agents
First, she was “mentally ill,” and now she says she’s not. Then again, the insanity defense didn’t work out, anyway, and so turned out not to be useful. An update this story. “Pakistani Woman Sentenced to 86 Years for Trying to Kill Americans,” by Chad Bray for the Wall Street Journal, September 23 (thanks to […]
Somalia: Radio staff walk out over jihadist demands
These members of the media refused to provide a mouthpiece for propaganda. There’s something you don’t see every day. An update on this story. “Somali radio reporters walk out after Islamist takeover,” from BBC News, September 23: Somali journalists have walked out of a radio station recently seized by Islamists in the capital, Mogadishu. The […]
Philippines: Moro Islamic Liberation Front wants a “state within a state”
The demand for full independence has changed, but little else has. They have simply gone from wanting full autonomy to govern the area as a separate Islamic state to wanting to do the same thing while remaining part of the Philippines. If anything, the revised set of demands would create a win-win situation for the […]
Islamic accommodations in Washington state jails: Power plays and priorities
Additional thoughts on this story: Regarding uniforms, and Muslim inmates’ complains about bans on “certain religious clothing”: Of all places, the social equalizer that uniforms provide is essential to attempting to keep the peace in a jail. The last thing one ought to want in a place where no one wants to be, but they […]
Maryland: Muslims whine about “Islamophobia,” refuse to address jihad terrorism and Islamic supremacism
If Muslims really wants to cure “Islamophobia,” here is an easy way. They can: 1. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts. 2. Renounce definitively not just “terrorism,” but any intention to replace the U.S. Constitution (or the constitutions of any non-Muslim […]
Philadelphia Muslim admits marrying and impregnating underage girls in Egypt
Why did he bother to marry these girls? In accord with Islamic imperatives derived from Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha. “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with ‘Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till […]
Washington state: Muslim inmates suing jail, saying they’re prevented from practicing their religion
Yet a prosecutor says that “the jail offers Muslims meals without pork and allows them to pray together and perform ritual cleansing.” So possibly this is an attempt to gain special status and special privileges for Muslim inmates in this jail. “Muslim inmates suing Pierce County Jail,” from AP, September 23 (thanks to Twostellas): TACOMA, […]
Prostrate France: “What we want is, firstly, for al-Qaeda at some point to at least put some demands on the table”
Not “What we want is, firstly, is to inflict so much damage on al-Qaeda that they will never take French hostages again.” “France asks al-Qaeda for demands over Niger hostages,” from the
UK: Six men arrested for burning Qur’ans
Is burning a book illegal in Britain? Would someone who burned a Bible be arrested? I think probably not, because British authorities know that no Christians would go ape and start killing innocent people if someone burned a Bible. That means that most likely these men were arrested because Muslims are likely to commit acts […]
India: Muslims attack Hindu procession, injuring 50
“Plenty of stones were pelted continuously on the procession, acid bulb and burning objects were also thrown.” Islamic Tolerance Alert from India: “Ganesh procession attacked for one hour in Borsad, 7 murthy broken, 30 injured,” from
Egypt: Copts see Muslims gearing up for mass violence against Christians
Serious provocations to “sectarian violence” — i.e., jihad. “Egyptian Coptic Church Accused of Stockpiling Weapons,” by Mary Abdelmassih for AINA, September 21 (thanks to all who sent this in): (AINA) — A new wave of defamation by Islamists against Coptic Pope Shenouda III and the Coptic Church is seen by many observers as a serious […]
Australia: Accused Misunderstander of Islam tried to convert fellow prisoners to Islam
How odd, that the one thing that we know has nothing ever to do with any terror plotting anywhere by anyone — Islam — seems to figure into so many terror plots. “Terror accused tried to ‘convert prison inmates to Islam,’” by Emma O’Sullivan for Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s ABC News, September 23: The Victorian Supreme […]
Muslim cleric calls for beheading — who cares? Christian pastor says he will burn Qur’an — international outcry!
In “Australian Muslim Cleric Calls for Beheading — Who Cares?,” September 23, Larry Elder (thanks to Kristian) points out the glaring double standard: What happens when an Australian Muslim cleric calls for the beheading of a Dutch politician? Not much. What happens when an American pastor no one ever heard of threatens to burn a […]
Spencer on Molly Norris: A Fugitive from Jihad
In Front Page this morning I discuss the sad case of Molly Norris, the “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” cartoonist, who has gone into hiding: […] This is the sort of case that the President of the United States should be talking about. As he wrung his hands about the prospect of Muslim rioting over Qur’an-burning, […]
