Sharia in action in Saudi Arabia: Murderer beheaded, then crucified

“Don’t burn this house. It belongs to a Muslim.”

#MyJihad in Nigeria: Muslims murder 36 Christians, security tight for Easter

#MyJihad in Pakistan: Islamic jihadists murder principal, injure students in attack on school in Karachi

Iraq: Christians celebrate Easter behind high blast walls and tight security cordons
Things have gotten worse for the Christians in Iraq as the Muslims there have become “more outwardly pious and politically Islamist,” says AP. This is a backhanded admission that Muslim piety leads to greater hostility toward Christians. But if anyone said that straight out, AP would tar him as an “Islamophobe.” “Iraqi Catholics celebrate Easter,” […]
No virgins for you: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber manages to kill only himself in Mali
“God has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of God; they kill, and are killed…” (Qur’an 9:111) “They kill and are killed…” In other words, they take out some Infidels along with themselves. Only then do they receive “the gift of Paradise.” […]
CBS reports on Muslim persecution of Christians in Syria
Sunspots? This CBS report notes forthrightly that the Syrian “rebels” are persecuting the Christians there. One thing, however — a mainstream media report, even a good one, wouldn’t be complete without at least one howling inaccuracy. Gregory III is not the “Syrian Patriarch.” There is no “Syrian Patriarch.” Gregory III is the Melkite Greek Catholic […]

They could have read that the chief beneficiary of our misguided Wilsonian adventure in Iraq is Iran at Jihad Watch since at least 2006: June 27, 2006: “Of course, Ahmadinejad may be jumping the gun a bit as far as that is concerned, but he is certainly doing all he can to bring into being a […]
The Pope washed a Muslim’s feet. Does this mean Catholics cannot defend themselves against the global jihad?
The new Pope washed a Muslim woman’s feet during Maundy Thursday mass, and Juan Cole (a Board member of a front group for the Islamic Republic of Iran) is jubilant: he thinks this somehow constitutes some kind of rebuke to Catholics who are sounding the alarm about the global jihad and Islamic supremacism. In this, […]
Salon takes umbrage when atheists criticize Islam
Salon is just fine with Dawkins and Harris when they criticize Christianity, but when it comes to Islam, they are supposed to maintain a respectful silence before the Left’s favorite religion. (Both Leftists and Sharia advocates share a taste for authoritarian control. It’s a perfect marriage.) And so Salon reaches out to the creepy Travis […]
#MyJihad in France: 1,500 people evacuated from Eiffel Tower after claim of explosives placed there
“It follows threats from Al-Qaeda pledging ‘revenge’ for the French intervention in the African state of Mali to fight Islamic terrorists.” “BREAKING NEWS: 1,500 people evacuated from Eiffel Tower after anonymous phone call claimed explosives had been placed around landmark,” by Peter Allen for the Daily Mail, March 30 (thanks to Darcy): The Eiffel Tower […]
Egypt orders arrest of satirist for denigrating Islam, Morsi
This is the same kind of restriction on the freedom of speech that Leftist Sharia enablers such as Eric Posner, Sarah Chayes, and Nathan “Garibaldi” Lean have recently called for in the West — and that are coming to the West, courtesy UN Resolution 16/18 and ongoing Organization of Islamic Cooperation efforts to intimidate Western […]
What the U.S. should say to Afghanistan
If we had a real President, he would call Karzai, sing him this song, and get our troops out of there.
#MyJihad in Los Angeles: Muslim gets five years of prison dawah for funding jihad terror — “If I have to kill people for Allah, I will”
“She was motivated by a ‘desire to participate in jihad’…she had created a ‘favorite’ tab for ‘The Al Qaeda Manual’ on her laptop and in ‘privacy’ mode had searched the terms ‘true jihad’ and ‘Jihad in Afghanistan’ on her Web browser.” True jihad? She must not have seen the Hamas-linked CAIR ads about how jihad […]

Pakistan: Police arrest accused blasphemer after angry mob surrounds his house
Have you ever noticed that far more Qur’an-burning seems to take place in Pakistan than it does anywhere else? Pakistan’s Sharia blasphemy law is a massive human rights abuse that ought to be the target of UN resolutions and action — but I know that the UN is busy pursuing the jihad against Israel. “Vendor […]
“Cynical travesty”: Army denies Purple Hearts to victims of Fort Hood jihad massacre
“This is a cynical travesty. The only thing the government has done is guarantee that anything done to help the victims will effectively impair and prevent Hasan’s prosecution. These victims have been given the back of the hand by their government.” “Army formally declines Purple Hearts for Fort Hood shooting victims,” by Jim Forsyth for […]
