Along with Chad, which is 53% Muslim, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Who will these child soldiers in Sudan and Yemen be fighting against?

Senior Hamas leaders attend massive Islamic Jihad rally where exiled leader’s message states: “the slogan of all should be that Israel must be wiped out of existence”
But no, really, they want peace! Only on their exact terms, and only after they have everything they think they are entitled to have. So they are interested in “peace,” but under the same conditions that Hitler’s Germany and Imperial Japan were: peace as a last resort just as soon as they’ve run out of […]
Rauf refuses Saudi prince’s call to move Islamic supremacist mega-mosque away from Ground Zero

Maldives: Police arrest Muslim marriage celebrant who mocked foreign couple as “swine” and “infidels”
Here is the video about which Marisol wrote here. The marriage celebrant has now been arrested. One does wonder, however, how many other marriages he has celebrated.

Discrimination, inbreeding tagged as causes of Islamic jihad terror
Maybe jihadis are motivated by the Qur’an’s injunction to Muslims to slay the idolaters wherever they find them (9:5) and to war against and subjugate Jews and Christians (9:29)? Pah! It’s discrimination! It’s inbreeding! The mainstream media and government authorities continue their never-ending search for the real cause of Islamic jihad terrorism, because the one […]

German government moves to criminalize forced marriages
The problem, of course, is predominantly found in Muslim communities.

Melkite Archbishop Cyril Bustros: “Al-Quds, which should be a house of prayer for all nations, has become in the hands of the Zionists a den of thieves where innocents and whoever claims a right and justice is killed.”

Accused D.C. jihadist had at least one accomplice
At least one accomplice — he may have had more. So many Misunderstanders of Islam!

Raymond Ibrahim: Islamic supremacists in Egypt project their crimes on the Copts

Saudi Prince comes out against Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero
Prince Alwaleed is the unfathomably rich Saudi prince who owns part of Fox News, and whose check to New York City after 9/11 was famously returned by Rudolph Giuliani after he made remarks suggesting that he thought America’s foreign policy was to blame for the attacks. He also funds pseudo-academic propagandist John Esposito’s Prince Alwaleed […]
Malawi: “Howling” Muslim students attending a Catholic school tear up New Testaments and throw them in the street
Funny, there will be no Christian riots. No streets blocked and piles of tires burned in faraway places. No protests to the U.N. to impose itself on other nations to stop criticism of Christianity. That proves it can be done: insults protested, but allowed to pass non-violently. Imagine that. Or is self-control just for the […]
Somalia: Two teenage girls shot dead in public by jihadists for “spying”
It has been observed in the media before that jihadist groups like the Taliban, al-Shabaab, and the former Islamic Courts Union in Somalia bring “law and order” and work quickly to “resolve” cases that take longer in other court systems. The catch, of course, is living under brutally arbitrary tyranny with due process subject to […]
Niger: Muslim groups urge boycott of vote on constitution that would separate powers of Islam and state
Sharia is a comprehensive set of laws designed to address every facet of human existence.

Not so much if you continue with the observation that Sharia’s existence as a […]
Maldives: Non-Muslim, Western couple mocked by Muslim “minister” as “infidels” and “swine” at their wedding
Where would he get that sort of thing? Well, the Qur’an, which calls unbelievers the “vilest of creatures” (98:6), and even portrays them as apes and swine (2:63-66, 5:59-60, 7:166). “Unwitting Western couple mocked as ‘infidel’ and ‘swine’ by ‘minister’ during foreign language wedding ceremony at luxury Maldives resort,” from the Daily Mail, October 29 […]
