Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches or the repair of existing ones. The Muslims who attacked the church undoubtedly had that in mind: once it was destroyed, it would stay that way. But if nothing else, the army seems to have calculated that leaving matters there would reward and embolden the Tiny Minority […]

U.K.: Muslims who savagely beat, slashed face of religious education teacher were under surveillance as jihad suspects
And they did wage their jihad, as a pack of cowards outnumbering one unarmed man. An update on this story. “Men who beat up RE teacher were terrorist suspects,” by Duncan Gardham for the Telegraph, May 25: The Security Service had placed a listening device in a car driven by one of the men as […]
Shi’ite imam found guilty of plotting to bomb JFK Airport in New York
The U.S. Attorney scolded Imam Kareem Ibrahim for being a Misunderstander of Islam. It is unlikely that she ever stopped to wonder how and why an imam, a man who had dedicated his life to understanding Islam and obeying its tenets, would get it all so drastically wrong. “Jury convicts JFK airport bomb plot suspect,” […]
Arab Springtime for Hitler: Egyptian group announces intent to form Nazi party
“My dog’s got no nose.” “How does it smell?” “Awful!” Something tells us this is not about the Autobahn. Or Volkswagens. They promise rapid development, but there would be other forms of command economies to propose if they wanted them: something else has made them choose the Nazi brand identity. And it wouldn’t be the […]
Pakistan: Jihad/martyrdom bomber murders 24, “resentment all around very high” over bin Laden killing
The killing of Osama bin Laden has “angered Pakistan.” Which side are they on, again? “Bomber kills 24 in Pakistan; U.S. military mission trimmed,” by Kamran Haider for Reuters, May 26 (thanks to Ima): ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A suicide bomber killed 24 people in Pakistan on Thursday in the latest militant attack since the death […]
Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood leader says they will apply Sharia once they come to power
But remember: Clueless Clapper, the director of National “Intelligence,” said they were a “largely secular” group. More from the man featured in this story, including his retraction of a statement he made in that one. “Brotherhood leader: We shall apply Islamic sharia,” by Khalaf Ali Hassan for AlMasry AlYoum, May 25: The Muslim Brotherhood would […]
Pakistan: Muslims desecrate Christian tombs, gang-rape Christian woman
While the authorities look the other way. And why do they look the other way? Because they agree with the attackers that Christians may be brutalized, in view of their rebellion against Muhammad and Allah. “Anti-Christian violence in Faisalabad: tombs desecrated, young woman gang-raped,” from Asia News, May 26 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Faisalabad (AsiaNews) […]
Prosecution in Wilders Sharia trial recommends that he be found not guilty of inciting hatred
“Prosecutors say Wilders’ remarks are critical of Islam which is not the same as inciting hatred against muslims themselves.” At last, some common sense. But there is no certainty that it will prevail; if it had entered into these proceedings at any point before this, Wilders wouldn’t be on trial now. “Find Wilders not guilty […]
Kosovo: Muslims enraged by jihadist persecution of Christians worldwide statue of Mother Theresa
Islamic supremacist persecution of Christians in Egypt, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Indonesia? No problem. A statue of Mother Theresa? Now that’s going too far! “Kosovo Muslims Resent New Mother Teresa Statue,” by Petrit Collaku for Balkan Insight, May 26 (thanks to Twostellas): Muslims in the western town of Peja are far from happy with the town […]
Good news from Canada
Attempts to railroad Israel into a “land-for-peace” scam hit a snag. “On Israel, Harper stands alone at G8 summit,” by Doug Saunders for the Globe and Mail, May 26 (thanks to Dumbledoresarmy): It was meant to be, as Barack Obama described it in London with his British counterpart beside him, another unified mission to storm […]
Washington state: Anti-Muslim note left on car in English and Arabic, Hamas-linked CAIR pushing “hate crime” investigation
Arabic-speaking racist Islamophobic bigoted redneck yahoo Grain of salt alert: what ignorant racist Islamophobic yahoo helpfully pens his hate note in both English and Arabic? The fact that he left a word out of his English version opens the possibility that the note was penned by an angry Coptic Christian or some other native Arabic-speaking […]

“Good women are obedient….As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34 Facebook is shutting down groups that aren’t Leftist and/or Islamic supremacist, including our own SIOA group.

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood leader says next government will be Islamic
Sobhi Saleh has somehow missed the memo about how the “Arab Spring” heralds a new flowering of the freedom of speech, equality of rights for women, and other notions of human rights that have no place in Islamic law. “Brotherhood leader: Next govt to be Islamist,” by Hany ElWaziry for AlMasry AlYoum, May 25: A […]
Spencer: Egypt comes out for Hamas
In the lead article at Front Page this morning I discuss the significance of this story: In one of the clearest signs yet that the “Arab Spring” in post-Mubarak Egypt heralds a resurgent Islamic supremacism rather than a flowering of Western-style pluralism and democracy, Egyptian officials announced Wednesday that they were reopening the Rafah crossing […]
Egypt to open Gaza border crossing: what could possibly go wrong?
This move helps Hamas have it both ways: They are a jihad-terrorist pseudo-state that demands “Palestinian” autonomy while waging war against Israel, but are open on the other hand to existing as what looks like it will amount to a dependent extension of Egypt as much as Egypt permits it (and as long as Hamas […]
Algerian province closes 7 churches in crackdown on alleged “proselytizing”
Propagating non-Islamic religions is forbidden under Sharia. That is bad enough, but of course, the “crime” of bearing witness to one’s faith in public lies somewhat in the eye of the beholder. Ultimately, to continue to exist in daily life while self-identifying as a non-Muslim — perhaps even having the unmitigated gall to do so […]
NATO on alert for major influx of foreign jihadists into Afghanistan, and “a growing number of Europeans are among them”
Speaking of foreign jihadists, “NATO-Afghan force also detained an al Qaeda fighter of Moroccan origin who lived in Germany,” and who had entered Afghanistan through Iran. What should be striking in all of this is the uniformity with which jihadists from places far removed from one another “misunderstand” Islam, and their ability to find common […]
Taliban take another district in eastern Afghan province
“Nuristan borders Pakistan’s tribal areas and there seem to be growing alliances between local leaders and Pakistani Taliban groups. That makes Nuristan strategically important in the wider conflict as an entry point into Afghanistan – and a potential haven for Pakistani militants.” Note also the number of foreign jihadists reported below. They certainly didn’t fly […]
Islamic honor killing covered up in Florida?
Pamela Geller has the extremely strange story of Fatima Abdallah, a Muslim woman in Florida who — according to the official story — committed suicide by repeatedly hitting her head against a coffee table. Oh, and coincidentally, she had just come through a divorce that “dishonored” her family: AFDI/SIOA is working with an extraordinary patriot, […]
Indonesia: Jihadists murder two police officers, National Police chief says it’s “too early to speculate on motives for the attack”
Motives absolutely opaque! Jihad? Naaah.
