Ze’ev Maghen is professor of Arabic Literature and Islamic History and Chairman of the Department of Middle East Studies at Bar-Ilan University. Here he joins an apparently endless stream of Muslim and non-Muslim authorities who assure us that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, in terms that will reassure non-Muslims, but will […]

Iraqi priest: “There’s no such thing as moderate Islam…ISIS represents Islam one hundred percent”
Fr. Douglas al-Bazi’s coreligionists in the West, and their leaders among the U.S. Catholic bishops, would be supremely embarrassed if they heard him talking this way. They are sure that Islam is a Religion of Peace, and woe to you if you don’t fall in line behind them. They don’t want to hear about Islamic […]
Islamic State using Facebook to hunt down, exterminate all gays in the Middle East
Meanwhile, gay activists in the U.S. generally excoriate those calling attention to this persecution and mass murder, rather than standing against Sharia oppression of gays. Why does the Islamic State throw gays off tall buildings and then stone them? Here is a quote from a manual of Islamic law, al-Siyaasah al-Shar’iyyah, as reproduced at IslamQA.com: […]
Toronto: Disabled man told that taxpayer-subsidized housing is for Muslims only
“Here you have a building for Muslims, and normally that would be discriminatory because other religions could not be accommodated there. But the Human Rights Code says if it’s a special-interests organization — religious, philanthropic, educational or social — they can discriminate in that way.” Oh. Where is the taxpayer-funded housing for Christians only? For […]
French President warns jihad threat growing, France braces for civil unrest and 9/11-style jihad mass murder attack
“President François Hollande warned the nation to prepare for more violence, considered inevitable as the Islamist threat grows..” The continual denial by top Western authorities as to what exactly this threat is and where it comes from doesn’t help. “French intelligence fears Islamist ‘missile strike on airliner’ or 9/11-style attack,” by Henry Samuel and David […]
UK Home Secretary Theresa May pledges government fight against “Islamist extremism” and “neo-Nazi extremism”
May said: “In the not-too-distant future we will be launching an anti-extremism, counter-extremism strategy as a Government. That will be looking across the board at all forms of extremism – yes, Islamist extremism, but also neo-Nazi extremism.” There is a global threat from Islamic jihadists, and a very severe jihad threat within Britain itself. To […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Curt Schilling and the Death of Free Speech
He told the truth. He apologized. It still wasn’t enough. In FrontPage today, I discuss the savaging of Curt Schilling: “Curt Schilling’s tweet comparing Muslims to Nazis is even worse than it sounds,” howled Max Fisher in Vox – one of the many voices this week screaming for Schilling’s head for transgressing against America’s new and […]
France jihadi’s brother: He’s not terrorist, “We are Muslims. We respect people.”
The Express reported that “a Spanish anti-terrorist official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed El Khazzani had lived in Spain until last year, moved to France then traveled to Syria where he is believed to have trained with ISIS before returning to France.” And he viewed a jihad video shortly before the attack. So […]
Obama: Many more in US die from gun-related incidents than from terrorism
Just as with the recent “study” that purported to show that “right-wing extremists” were more of a threat than Islamic jihadists, in saying this Obama is probably leaving out 9/11. And if even a fraction of the foiled jihad plots had come to fruition, this would be an even more risible claim than it is. […]
Minnesota FBI: Arrests haven’t stopped Muslims from trying to join Islamic State
Did he really think that aspiring jihadis would be deterred by the prospect of arrest? That only illustrates how abysmally Richard Thornton, and the entire FBI, misunderstands the appeal of the Islamic State. “Minnesota FBI head: Terrorism arrests haven’t stopped others from planning to join IS group,” Associated Press, August 26, 2015: BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. […]
UK police to hire convicted terrorists to combat the Islamic State
Contemporary Britain is so ridiculous, it would be a smash-hit comedy if it weren’t so tragic. “British police to hire CONVICTED TERRORISTS to combat Islamic State,” by Peter Henn, Express, August 26, 2015: Scotland Yard wants to challenge Islamic extremism, and is getting what it describes as “significant” help from former radicals. There is also […]
CENTCOM reworked reports to make anti-ISIS campaign look successful
Obama’s defense apparatus has become a Ministry of Propaganda. As I asked several months ago, has Baghdad Bob become Secretary of Defense? “Pentagon watchdog probing whether anti-ISIS campaign analysis altered,” Fox News, August 26, 2015: The Defense Department’s inspector general is investigating whether intelligence reports about the progress of the U.S.-led coalition’s campaign against ISIS […]
Egypt: Christian imprisoned for “blasphemy” for offering Bible to Muslim
“Rafaat said there is no such criminal charge as ‘evangelism’ under Egyptian law, and that handing out Bibles or even promoting Christianity does not constitute ‘defaming a revealed religion.’” But even though Sharia is not the law of the land in Egypt, its cultural influence remains, leading to incidents such as the persecution of Medhat […]
France train gunman watched jihad video before boarding
This isn’t getting the media play that the jihadi’s claim that he was just trying to rob passengers got. Hmmm. Now, why is that? “Train Attack Suspect Watched Jihad Video Before Boarding,” Suffield Times, August 25, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): The armed man accused of attacking an Amsterdam-to-Paris practice final week watched a video […]
Australia: “Terrorism experts” say Lindt cafe siege wasn’t a terrorist act
Relax. The “experts” will explain it all for us. “If he was following IS (Islamic State) direction why didn’t he go in there and kill everyone?” Maybe Man Haron Monis intended to take hostages. Is Associate Professor Rodger Shanahan from the Lowy Institute really unaware of Islamic law regarding hostage-taking and the subsequent killing, enslavement, […]
Pakistan: Christian flood victims forced to convert to Islam, become slaves to Muslims or die
Disaster Relief Jihad: “More than 60 Christian families in the western Pakistani region of Kasur lost their homes and all worldly possessions when the deluge hit this summer… left to starve if they don’t convert to Islam or become modern-day slaves in order to receive help from Muslims or the government…” “Pakistani Christian Flood Victims […]
Samantha Power: “No religious beliefs justify throwing individuals off of buildings or stoning them to death because of who they love”
Samantha Power is Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations. At the first UN Security Council meeting on LGBT rights, she did the absolutely predictable thing: dissembled about the root causes of why the Islamic State persecutes gays. “No religious beliefs,” she asserted confidently, “justify throwing individuals off of buildings or stoning them to death because […]
UK teen Muslima: “I will be the one who slaughters you o kuffar”
“She was granted bail by Judge Khalid Qureshi, who agreed to adjust her bail condition of reporting to police to allow her to attend college.
