UK raises terror threat level to “severe”
“I just don’t understand it, Theresa.” “What, David? What don’t you understand, luv?” “The ingratitude, innit? The base, black, bold ingratitude. Think of it: We hounded counter-jihadists domestically and banned Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer from coming in from the U.S. We worked with Islamic supremacists that we pretended were ‘moderates,’ allowing them to gain […]

Egypt’s Mufti adviser: Islamic State’s terror has nothing to do with Islam
It would be refreshing if even one of those who are condemning the Islamic State would explain how this misunderstanding of Islam spread to so many people all over the world. But they never will do so, and the mainstream media will never ask them to. “Daesh terrorist acts have no link with Islam: Mufti […]

Muhammad commanded: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, both Sunni and Shi’ite.
