In a way, it’s kind of a compliment. In his conspiracy paranoia, he is ascribing all kinds of foreknowledge to the West. For example, the Balfour Declaration on a Jewish homeland occurred in 1917. Oil prospecting in the Mideast gained momentum in the 1930s, with especially spectacular oil fields discovered in the late ’30s. When […]

Shocker: “Climate of intolerance” in West Bank
But… but… that’s where the “moderate” guys are. “Climate of intolerance in West Bank, activists say,” by Diaa Hadid for the Associated Press, January 30 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) “” A Palestinian atheist who was jailed and beaten last year for expressing anti-Muslim views on Facebook and in blogs […]
Pakistan: TV host sacked after ambushing couples on air for “immoral behavior”
Once again, wherever Sharia experiences a resurgence or increases its encroachment upon a society, tolerance decreases, and harassment increases. Indeed, as also seen in Tunisia, a sense of entitlement to harass and mind others’ business emerges, even short of the formal establishment of morality police. “‘Are you married?’: Pakistani TV host dubbed the ‘vigil-auntie’ sacked […]
Islamic terrorists living in Norway convicted for terror plans against Denmark
Let us see if the Norwegians will blame these Muslims’ manual for terror as much as they blamed anti-jihadists for Breivik’s murders. Translated from Jyllands-Posten, January 30: “Seven years in prison for terror plans against Jyllands-Posten”: The case has been called historical in Norway, because it is the first time that someone has been convicted […]
Denmark: No comprehensive car insurance in Muslim area — too many burned cars
I recently posted a couple of articles about the Muslim area Vollsmose in Odense, Denmark (“Denmark: More Muslim violence against non-Muslims” and “Danish police: Immigrant criminals target Danes to make them move out of the (Muslim) area“). The latest development is that the major Danish insurance company GF-Insurance no longer offers comprehensive insurance on cars […]
‘Moderate’ Malaysia Update: The ultimate pejorative in Malaysian politics
When Malaysian politicians of all stripes sling mud and hurtle rhetorical slings and arrows at one another, there is one label that is universally considered by all players to be an insult far worse than all the rest. What might that insult be? Being called a racist? Or a bigot? Or a fascist? No, no, […]
Fuhrers become Caliphs — history repeats itself
When we look closely at the current situation in the Middle East and the Iranian issue, we can see some parallels with the situation of the world community before the Second World War. At that time, the Nazis, without any significant resistance, had seized power in Germany and Austria, and Italy was their Fascist ally. […]
Islamic scholars approve “electronic jihad”
There are many means of jihad, they note. Or in other words, a way to stick it to the infidel is a way to stick it to the infidel. Scholars differ on circumstances for acceptable use, and its position in the pecking order of means of jihad, but are in agreement in principle that it […]
Canada: Shafias guilty of first-degree murder in Islamic honor killing
Mohammad Shafia has previously said: “I would do it again 100 times”; “May the devil shit on their graves. Is that what a daughter should be? Would a daughter be such a whore?” And “God’s curse on them for generations. … They betrayed Islam.” “Shafias all found guilty of first-degree murder,” by Timothy Appleby for […]
“It breaks my heart to see a woman being treated worse than an animal”
Shakila, the ex-Muslim living in a Muslim country who blogs at Liberated, has a new post up about Muslim men, Muslim women, and marriage: Each time I see a Muslim woman dressed up in the complete Islamic burqa with only her dead expressionless eyes piercing through the black face veil, I cannot but help feel […]
Report: American Bible translators bowdlerize scriptures to avoid offending Muslims: no “Father” and “Son”
If this is true, for the parties they are trying not to offend, anything short of Islam — of professing that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is his messenger — would be “offensive.” This is not making Christianity more palatable. It is de-Christianizing it. It is manufacturing yet another Christian heresy. […]
U.K.: Girls as young as nine being forced into marriage
Nine. There’s that number again. Now, everyone knows only the greasiest of greasy Islamophobes retail the notion that the practice of marrying girls as young as nine has something to do with Muhammad marrying Aisha when she was six and consummating the marriage when she was nine, and he was six times her age at […]
Defense secretary Panetta: Pakistan must have known someone of interest was in bin Laden compound
Indeed. It defies imagination that a secretive group holed up in a meticulously controlled compound in close proximity to the Pakistani military never made them wonder who their neighbors were. Panetta’s observations echo what he said after the bin Laden raid in May: either the Pakistanis were incompetent, or complicit, though Panetta now seems to […]
Tunisia: Retired teacher says “We spent our lives educating people, and now some want us to go back in time 14 centuries”
Wherever Sharia experiences a resurgence, the observable effect is an increase in harassment and a decline in tolerance, of human rights, and civil liberties. Note the woman below who even found the grocer scolding her about her jeans. And she observed: “Everything becomes tougher: Going to see a gynaecologist, what to wear, how to talk.” […]
Denmark: More Muslim violence against non-Muslims
Recently a Danish cop broke the taboo and said what many already know: Immigrant criminals target Danes to make them move out of (Muslim) area. As a follow-up, I will here publish a few statements made by a Christian priest, a Danish police officer and a council chairman that confirm this observation: Translated from Kristeligt […]
Islamonausea, not Islamophobia
We should stop using Muslims’ self-chosen word — “Islamophobia” — by which they paint themselves into a corner of being feared: it destroys communication. Instead of such a divisive term, we should insert a more approachable and factual word that preserves opportunities for bridge-building and learning: “Islamonausea.” This does not render communication impossible, but enables […]
Malaysian Muslims out to stop ‘the challenge of Christianization’
Infamous Malaysian politician Hasan Ali, who previously spoke out vociferously against solar powered talking Bibles that are allegedly being used to persuade Malaysian Muslims to become Christians, is still ‘crusading’ (if we can borrow that word) against the rising tide of ‘Christianization’ in Malaysia. Wait, I thought Islam is the perfect religion–Muslims never ever tire […]
Ali Sina: “Pamela Geller and her organizations don’t become hate groups just because a bunch of moon-bats say so”
The indomitable Ali Sina of Faith Freedom has been in a discussion of sorts with Sheila Musaji of The American Muslim, who is an established liar. His latest piece addressed to her brilliantly answers the principal charges that Leftists and Islamic supremacists routinely make against Pamela Geller and me, and our organizations. (I have reproduced […]
Dutch plan ban on face veils
It is one thing to be unidentifiable in a society where one is always under the control of a male guardian and a perpetual minor, but in a free and open society, full participation requires being identifiable as an individual and not merely in relation to another. For that matter, in the West, unlike other […]
Egypt: Over 3000 Muslims attack Copts over a rumor about a cell phone photo
The organization and transition to violence always seem to happen more than a little too easily, once again suggesting a rampage waiting for an excuse. And any old excuse will do. These are not the makings of a stable society, and there can be no prosperity if society is so unstable that one fears anything […]
