Who benefits from the convergence of Iran and Turkey?
The whole world is trying to find meaning in the actions of the Obama administration in the Middle East. On the one hand, improving relations with Iran, while on the other hand flirting with and even aggressively promoting Turkish foreign policy. Why is that?

UK: Muslim taxi driver refused to give disabled woman’s dog a lift during Ramadan
The taxi firm owner who says toward the end of this article that he would have respected the driver’s beliefs, in other words, that he would have disrespected the disabled woman and forced her to accommodate Muslim sensibilities, is the wave of the future. Rather than enforce one law for everyone, Britain appears anxious to […]
National Endowment for the Humanities partnering with Muslim Brotherhood groups IIIT and MSA

Robert Spencer in PJ Lifestyle: Daughters of the Jihad Death Cult
Nothing says “I”m just not that into you” quite like giving your wife a suicide vest. My latest in PJ Lifestyle: Last Monday in the Russian city of Volgograd, a 30-year-old woman from Dagestan named Naida Akhiyalova boarded a bus. Akhiyalova, a convert to Islam, soon afterward exploded a jihad-martyrdom suicide bomb vest, killing herself, […]
Tennessee mosque invites Hamas-linked Muslim scholar Jamal Badawi to speak
This WZTV story is even more relentlessly biased than most, giving that impression that Badawi’s unindicted co-conspirator status is something that “anti-Islamic websites” simply “claim,” and that try as they might, these intrepid reporters just can’t verify. In reality, it is established fact, as noted on that celebrated anti-Islamic website known as USA Today. The […]

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood using “puppy bombs” dipped in gasoline and set on fire

Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) […]

Indonesia: Muslim mob assaults Qur’an study group with iron bars for “deviant” teachings
This Qur’an study group was not advocating reevaluation, reinterpretation, or reform of the violent and supremacist teachings of the Muslim holy book; they were attacked for other reasons. However, this assault does show yet again why we don’t see more sincere Islamic reformers: those who go against established orthodoxy are charged with heresy and often […]
Syria: Muslim cleric gleefully smashes statue of Virgin Mary to shouts of “Allahu akbar”
The title of the video represents the cleric, Omar Gharba, as saying, “We won’t accept anything but Wahhabism in Syria,” but that is not what he says.

Montreal: Muslim faces charges after bomb-making materials found in his carry-on luggage
Antony Piazza, formerly known as Houshang Nazemi. His name change resembles that of David Coleman Headley, aka Daood Gilani, who changed his name in the belief that a non-Islamic name would make it easier for him to engage in jihad activity without detection. “Man, 71, facing charges after bomb-making materials found at Montreal airport,” from […]

Syria: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” threaten Christians — “Convert to Islam, or you will be crucified like Jesus”
