In PJ Media this morning I discuss how the new plan for halting “green on blue” attacks blames the victims — as usual. The U.S. Army has issued a pocket reference guide — “Inside the Wire Threats — Afghanistan Green on Blue” — to help troops protect themselves from the increasingly common phenomenon of attacks from Afghans […]
Robert Spencer: San Francisco Examiner reluctantly comes out for free speech, smears pro-Israel bus ad
Over at Atlas Shrugs I discuss one example of the hateful mainstream media demonization of Pamela Geller’s pro-Israel ad campaign: It is good, and rather surprising in today’s climate, to see the San Francisco Examiner, in an unsigned editorial, come out for Pamela Geller’s free speech rights and say that her pro-Israel ads should be […]
Germany: Muslim breaks wife’s fingers for wanting to feed children during Ramadan
Feeding children during Ramadan: a grave sin.

Pakistan: Medical board declares Christian girl accused of blasphemy underage and of low mental level
Pakistan’s blasphemy laws are a travesty under the best of circumstances, but in this case even the ordinary rules of procedure were not followed, and this girl is being brutalized for something she could not have known she was doing. That will not, however, stop the frenzied Muslim mobs clamoring for her blood. “Accused girl […]

U.S. troops punished for Qur’an-burning
If any U.S. troops lose rank or pay because of the burning of the Qur’an, it would be one of the worst capitulations to Sharia of the entire Obama Administration, which has been full of them. Burning a Qur’an is not a crime in American law. And these Qur’ans weren’t even burned maliciously (not that […]

Sharia in action in Pakistan: Angry Muslim clerics force cancellation of concert
Hadith Qudsi 19:5: “The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance.” (The Hadith Qudsi, or holy Hadith, are those in which Muhammad transmits the words of Allah, although those words are not in the Qur’an.)

Indonesia: Islamophobes attack group of Shi’ite students and teachers, killing two — no, wait…

Afghan soldier “ally” murders two more U.S. troops

Did the Muslim Brotherhood invent the term “Islamophobia”?
The Brotherhood has certainly seized and run with the term in order to intimidate critics of jihad and Islamic supremacism into silence, but it looks as if the term “Islamophobia” is much older than Claire Berlinski claims. Cheradenine Zakalwe here traces it to the 1990s, and it is possible, also, that the term goes back […]
Iran: Hundreds of girls under age 10 married
“Sharia law states that females can be married as young as nine…” But…but…Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Western notions of human rights! Child marriage is rampant among those who believe that Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), but Islamic spokesmen in the West frequently assert that it is a […]
