The world is upside down. “Exclusive: Banned Cleric’s Outspoken Deputy Visits White House,” by Steven Emerson and John Rossomando for IPT News, June 26: Radical Egyptian cleric Yusuf Qaradawi is considered so radical that the United States bans him from entering the country.

Interfaith outreach in Iraq: Islamic jihadists wound two Christians in attack on church
How terrible that greasy Islamophobes want this kind of thing stopped. It upsets all the marvelous interfaith harmony that is going on. “Two Christians Wounded in Church Attack in Iraq; another Killed in Store Bombing,” from Morning Star News, June 28: CAIRO, Egypt (Morning Star News) — Authorities are investigating an attack by gunmen at […]
A bridge too far: Leftist writers argue that Spencer and Geller should be admitted into the UK
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the UK here. When even hard-Left writers like Alex Seitz-Wald and Matt Duss (fastidiously distancing themselves from us, of course, much like Melanie Phillips and The Commentator) denounce the banning of Pamela Geller and me from Britain, maybe the British government has gone a bit too […]
Melanie Phillips sends the enemies of the United Kingdom the message that they have it on the run
Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the UK here. Here is the second piece today (the first is here) from an “ally” rushing to our defense while hastening to assure the world that she is not at all like us — a position that is self-defeating no matter what one may think […]
Sharia in action in Saudi Arabia: Religious police stop wedding because bride wasn’t covering her face and groom was holding her hand
But…but…Imam Rauf and Reza Aslan assure us that Sharia is benign and completely compatible with Western understandings of human rights! Reality check: “Saudi police stop wedding in park,” from Emirates 24/7, June 27 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police raided a park in the Gulf Kingdom and stopped a wedding […]
Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party asks Dutch government to stand for freedom of speech, protest UK ban of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer
Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party has issued this statement in our defense: “PVV: Engeland behaagt weer eens de islam door critici de mond te snoeren” (thanks to Pamela Geller). Here is my cleaned-up version of the Google Translate version of the statement. Corrections gratefully received. Sign the petition asking that we be allowed into the country […]
UK’s Express manipulates photo to smear Spencer and Geller
Which one’s Pamela? “Anti-Muslim speakers BANNED from entering UK to speak at EDL rally” in the Express, June 27, is just another viciously biased mainstream media report, but I was particularly amused by the photo above. While both Pamela Geller and I are named in the caption, neither of us are actually in the photo, […]
Mark Steyn on banning of Spencer and Geller from UK: “Freedom of speech is dead in England…No good will come from this.”
Steyn is right. May claims to be working for the public good and trying to quell violence, but by closing off legitimate debate about jihad and Islamic supremacism, she is inciting violence: the jihadists will see that they can act with impunity, and frustration will increase among those few who are standing against them. Meanwhile, […]
Syria: Islamic jihadists murder priest during attack on monastery
How delightful it is that the U.S. is aiding these jihadists. And how wonderful that enlightened folks are doing everything they can to destroy people who dare to speak out against jihad murders like this one. Please sign the petition asking the Bishop of Sacramento to allow me to speak: Petition by iPetitions “Custos of […]
AP tells a tiny part of the story
The Associated Press has a story on the banning of Pamela Geller and me from the UK. It is the usual mainstream media fare: almost completely one-sided. AP’s James Brooks quotes from the Home Secretary, quotes from the fascist group Hope Not Hate, and offers us no opportunity to rebut their false and defamatory claims […]
