The opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi has threatened Bashir with an “Arab Spring”-type revolution, but it is clear that such a revolution would reshuffle the deck, but would not change the cards where governance is concerned. Bashir has already announced his own intentions to impose more Sharia, as well as a plan of cultural and linguistic […]

Kentucky: Refugee from Iraq misunderstood Islam, plotted to ship weapons and money to al-Qaeda
And apparently nothing he heard down at the local mosque ever gave him the impression that shipping weapons to al-Qaeda was a really bad idea. “FBI: Iraqi bragged about insurgent operations in Baghdad; agents seized 4 phones in raid,” from the Associated Press, February 24 (thanks to Buck): LOUISVILLE, Ky. “” An Iraqi man who […]
Bangladesh: Muslim mob misunderstands Islam, attacks Christian missionaries on suspicion that they were converting Muslims
How did this mob get the idea that there was anything wrong with Christians converting Muslims? Muslim spokesmen such as Salam al-Marayati, M. Cherif Bassiouni, and Ali Eteraz (among many others) have assured us that Islam has no death penalty for apostasy. So why couldn’t Christian missionaries preach to Muslims in Bangladesh? I expect that […]
U.S.-educated Misunderstander of Islam pleads guilty to jihad war crimes, turns government witness
He agreed not to wage courtroom jihad, at least not for now. Conspiracy to commit jihad mass murder? You may be out in four years — just please don’t sue us. “Majid Khan, U.S.-educated al Qaida foot soldier, admits to war crimes, turns government witness,” by Carol Rosenberg for The Miami Herald, February 29 (thanks […]
Fascist Muslim thugs disrupt Jewish event at UC-Davis, police ordered not to stop them
Yet again, the Islamic supremacists demonstrate that they cannot refute what freedom fighters say, and so they have to shout us down and shut us out, as their intellectual and moral forbears, the brownshirts and blackshirts, did before them. Monday night it happened at UC-Davis. Pamela Geller has the story — here are two letters […]
Convicted jihad-enabling attorney Lynne Stewart complains that her free speech rights were violated
Islamic supremacists and their useful idiots on the Left, like Lynne Stewart, routinely engage in massive projection, accusing their foes of that which they themselves are guilty. Right now the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and its allies in the U.S., such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), are engaged in a full-throttle […]
Iran: Seeking nuclear weapons a “great sin”
Then, why the secrecy and subterfuge on the nuclear program? In all likelihood, somewhere around the time of an Iranian nuclear test, we’ll hear about the other side of the coin, a monumental “BUT…” and some claim of extenuating circumstances. “Iran says making nuclear bombs a ‘great sin’,” by Caroline Copley for Reuters, February 29: […]
Singer Erykah Badu banned from Malaysia over temporary “Allah” tattoo
Badu deserves partial credit if she got a tattoo (rather, temporary body art) in non-Roman characters and actually knows what it says, unlike so many hipsters with “exotic” tattoos that may actually say “I have gout.” The case is also a study in how multiculturalist arrogance — the presumption of open-minded enlightenment — can actually […]
Indonesia: Rival “militant Islamic groups” clash
The very idea of jihad to impose Sharia is ultimately the Achilles heel of Islamic governance. Since Sharia is a total system of government for every aspect of life, there can always be more to enforce. Someone will always want more of it, or want to do things differently, and someone will always be willing […]
Yemen: Al-Qaeda inflicts 80 lashes on 4 people accused of drinking alcohol
Now, remember: you can’t suppose that of these tenets of Sharia that keep being enforced in locations far removed from one another actually have anything to do with Sharia. They only happen in extreme cases, you see, or under “extreme interpretations” of Sharia. You’re not supposed to notice that wherever there is a resurgence of […]
