UK: Marks & Spencer tells Muslim staff they can refuse to serve customers buying alcohol or pork
Marks & Spencer gives way to the principle that where Islamic law and practice conflict with Western law and practice, it is Western law and practice that must give way. This is a very familiar pattern in the U.K. and the U.S. over the last few years, and most people would conclude that when it […]

London School of Economics apologizes for forcing students to cover Muhammad t-shirts for fear of angering Muslims

HSBC gets slap on the wrist: $32,400 fine for laundering millions of dollars for Hizballah
“In December 2012, the bank agreed to pay a $1.9 billion settlement for moving money that a 2012 Senate report found had likely helped drug cartels and a Saudi Arabian bank the CIA has linked to al Qaeda.” This rogue pro-jihad bank should be shut down.
