There has been a notable double standard in the mainstream media’s coverage of stories of brutality and possible war crimes committed by the forces of Libya’s National Transitional Council. As videos circulated of a bloodied Gaddafi being beaten about the head with a shoe, and then of his corpse, the trope went something like this: […]

Somalia: Jihadists post tape of American citizen jihad/martyrdom suicide bomber urging jihad attacks in U.S.
Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah shows his gratitude for the country that took him in, gave him a home, and kept him safe while jihad warfare wracked his homeland. “Somali militants post tape of ‘US suicide bomber,’” by Abdi Guled and Katharine Houreld AP, October 30 (thanks to Kenneth): MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) – An al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group […]
Hamas-linked CAIR issues press release lying about Pamela Geller event
Hamas-linked CAIR claimed that Senator Marco Rubio and Governor Rick Scott of Florida pulled out of a Tea Party event because Pamela Geller was speaking. CAIR was lying, of course. Will Honest Ibe Hooper or his Florida henchmen issue a retraction and apology? I won’t be holding my breath. War is deceit, eh, Ibe? Here […]
Polygamy in the ‘new’ Libya causing disquiet among women, Western allies
We’ve tried to tell you. As the Quran clearly allows one man to marry up to four wives simultaneously (Quran 4:3), the ‘new’ Libya has strongly hinted that polygamy will be made legal again, much to the consternation of Libya’s supporters abroad and women everywhere. Such consternation must be more rampant Islamophobia, right? Perhaps ‘liberated’ […]
Contrary to interviewer’s claims, Gilad Shalit was not examined by Red Cross doctors before interview on Egyptian TV
For all of the things we already knew were wrong with that interview, here is another. It was bad enough that Shalit was held up from being reunited with his family, and it was bad enough that he was subject to one last round of psychological torment, surely wondering if saying the wrong thing while […]
Banned Speech at the Hyatt: Pamela Geller, “Truth is the New Hate Speech”
Pamela Geller tells the story herself: Last week, The Hyatt Place hotel canceled a Sugar Land Tea Party event because I was scheduled to speak. Hundreds and hundreds of patriots called, wrote, sold their stock, and the Hyatt Place subsequently apologized. Despite having to scramble at the last minute, the industrious Tea party found another […]

Shocking video of Egyptian armored-vehicle “mowing down” Christian civilians
Watch this one-minute video and see an armored-vehicle literally run over a handful of Christians for protesting the constant destruction of their churches in Egypt, at the recent Maspero Massacre. Such vehicles were made possible by U.S. military aid, supposedly for the protection of Egyptian “citizens.” But apparently the military — hailed by the Western […]

Muslim Brotherhood influence in the White House harming persecuted Christians. “Obama’s Muslim Advisers Block Middle Eastern Christians” Access to White House,” from Creeping Sharia, October 26 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Americans were warned about Mogahed when Obama hired her in 2009 [Obama Appoints Radical Muslim Apologist To Faith-Based Committee], and well before.

Libyan demonstrators: “The Koran is the basis, and our constitution must be based on sharia”
I tried to tell you. “Benghazi men insist on sharia in new Libya,” from AFP, October 28: More than 200 men from Benghazi staged a demonstration on Friday insisting that Islamic sharia law must be the basis of legislation in newly liberated Libya. “The Koran is the basis, and our constitution must be based on […]
Afghanistan: Jihad/martyrdom suicide bomber murders at least 13 Americans
The attacker was from the Taliban. You know, the group whose leader the Secretary of State just invited to negotiations, saying that his involvement was crucial for the prospects for peace. More fruit of the Obama Administration’s fantasy-based policymaking regarding Islam: “13 Americans Said to Be Among Killed in Kabul Attack,” by Rod Nordland and […]
Afghan Army trainee opens fire on his Australian trainers, murdering three
As I have said many times in the context of many similar incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is no reliable way to distinguish a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist. This is yet more fruit of the unwillingness to make even a cursory attempt to take that fact into account. And every few weeks (the […]
Islamophobic admission from Malaysian-Chinese political party: ‘Hudud turns back the clock’
Here’s a startling Islamophobic admission from one of the dhimmi auxiliaries of Malaysia’s ruling (i.e Muslim) political party UMNO, namely that implementing part of Sharia called hudud (Islamic laws that deal with apostasy, theft, sexual crimes and the consumption of alcohol) may not be in the best interests of all Malaysians. Normally, the Malaysian Chinese […]

Mahmoud Abbas says Arab rejection of 1947 partition plan was a mistake
He complains that they have been “punished” for that mistake. In other words, the message is unchanged: they were surprised they lost the war, and they still want a do-over. “Palestinian leader: Arabs erred on 1947 partition,” by Amy Teibel for the Associated Press, October 28: JERUSALEM (AP) “” The Palestinian president, in a remarkable […]
Bridge for sale: Same Indonesian government ministry that called for ban on “heretical” Muslim sect now working on “tolerance” law
By all appearances, the proposed law promises to be yet another exercise in creating the official appearance of “tolerance” on paper, so that business as usual can continue in practice: the cards have been shuffled somewhat, but the dealer is the same, and the deck remains stacked against non-Muslims. Indonesia has tried this approach before, […]
Pakistan: Christians abducted in dispute with landowner, police won’t investigate
Like so many abductions and forced marriages in Pakistan, cases like this show that Christians in Pakistan are now, in practice, virtually non-persons. When they disappear, they are often simply gone, fallen down the memory hole as far as authorities are concerned. The pervasive pattern of behavior toward Christians observable in Pakistan makes this case […]
Pentagon: Attacks on eastern Afghan border up due to safe havens in Pakistan
As a diversionary tactic, Pakistan has tried to accuse Kabul and NATO of doing the same thing they have been accused of for years. Pakistani officials save their outrage for jihadist attacks that come back across the border into Pakistan, even when the attacks are organized by jihadist groups that are based in Pakistan. Officers […]
Malaysian Muslim party calls for banning first Elton John concert in Malaysia
Muslims not infrequently call for banning the concerts of ‘infidel’ performers, which closely hews with the Islamic script (and scripture). Islam calls for the destruction of many kinds of artistic expression, including, according to many hadiths, music. However, orthodox Muslims have shown a willingness to look the other way if a certain type of music […]
More Christians in Pakistan forced to convert to Islam
Most of our readers have heard about Asia Bibi, a Christian who languishes on death row in a prison in Pakistan (‘Muslim-occupied India’) for the capital crime of blasphemy against Islam. But there are also many Christians in that same country who are kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam. The police and authorities do nothing […]
