“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) This reads like the story of a Roman martyr from the second century: “Boko Haram beheaded six-year-old Christian boy, group reports,” Christian Today, August 28, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): It was revealed this week that Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram beheaded a […]

Canadian convert to Islam: Christians must convert or “face the sword”
Where did he get this idea? Was any effort made by the Muslims in Canada who converted him to Islam to explain to him that Islam was a Religion of Peace and Tolerance? Or did they themselves give him this understanding of Islam? Authorities ought to be investigating these questions, but they probably aren’t, as […]
Nigeria: Islamic jihadists loot and vandalize Catholic parish
Remember: Christians in the West are not to speak of such things. To do so would harm the “dialogue”: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop […]
National Post advises: Convert to Islam to avoid being murdered by jihadis
Kathy Shaidle’s comment on this appalling piece is excellent: “I would die before I would repeat those words under any circumstances. And yes, there is a ‘peaceful verse for every violent one.’ However, Muslims use abrogation to decide which verses are more authoritative. The later violent (‘sword’) verses cancel out the earlier, peaceful ones. ‘The […]
Turkish ex-mufti on Muhammad: “So many people can’t live properly because of him”
Turan Dursun was “a former mufti and imam and an open critic of Islam who fought for a freer and more humane world despite pressures from the state, the public, and even his own father, whose dream was to see him become a devoted cleric.” He lived in Turkey. He was, as was tragically predictable, […]
Prof: To end appeal of Islamic State to Muslims, Europe must embrace Islam
Jocelyne Cesari is “senior research fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs at Georgetown University, and director of the Islam in the West Program at Harvard University.” In this piece she epitomizes what is wrong with academic discourse about Islam today: she doesn’t even mention the blazingly obvious reason for “the […]
Feds warn of imminent jihad terror attack on US/Mexican border
A jihad attack? On the border? Why, those feds are racist Islamophobes! I thought those bigots had all been purged from law enforcement and intelligence agencies! “Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning By Feds on US Border,” Judicial Watch, August 29, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of […]
David Wood: Obama’s Escape from Planet Reality
Riotous. Watch it all.
Robert Spencer at Catholic Answers: Answering a Muslim Apologist
Over at Catholic Answers I clear away another set of detours, diversions and deceptions: Catholic apologists keep very busy clearing up common misconceptions about the Faith: explaining how the Church’s teaching, practice, and history are misunderstood—or willfully misrepresented—by its opponents. Islam, too, has its apologists. They also claim that many critiques of the Muslim religion […]
France: Two teen Muslimas arrested for jihad suicide bomb plot at synagogue
They’re misunderstanding Islam early and often in Europe these days, and the new and noxious legitimization of anti-Semitism (in the guise of opposition to Israel) has given rise to mass murder plots of this kind. And there will be more. “Two Teenage Girls Arrested Over French Synagogue Suicide Bomb Plot,” by Madeline Grant, Newsweek, August […]
