In this special edition of The Glazov Gang, I was joined by Saba Ahmed, an Islamic Lobbyist with the Republican Muslim Coalition, and Mark Christian, a former Islamic Imam who is now the president of the Global Faith Institute. My two guests went toe-to-toe about Women’s Rights under Sharia and Ben Carson’s Comments about Islam. Don’t […]

Raymond Ibrahim: MSM Lies about Muslim Lies (Taqiyya)
Gatestone Institute Dr. Ben Carson’s recent assertion that the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya encourages Muslims “to lie to achieve your goals” has prompted the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler to quote a number of academics to show that the presidential candidate got it wrong: The word “taqiyya” derives from the Arabic words for “piety” and “fear […]
Video: Obama calls for “rejection by non-Muslims of the ignorance that equates Islam with terror”
OK, great. But what about the Muslims who equate Islam with terror? Obama called on Muslims to reject “those who distort Islam to preach intolerance and promote violence.” So when he is going to call upon mosques and Muslim organizations in the U.S. to back up their condemnations of the Islamic State with genuine programs […]
Bethlehem monastery torched by Islamic jihadists
Why did the Muslims torch the monastery? Were the monks drawing cartoons of Muhammad? Did they “talk about extreme, militant Islamists” in a way that “undercut the positive achievements that…Catholics have attained in…inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims”? Or were they targeted merely for the crime of being Christians, as jihadis will eventually target every Christian […]
Putin to those who supported “Arab Spring” in Middle East: “Do you realize what you have done?”
“Instead of the triumph of democracy and progress, we got violence, poverty and social disaster — and nobody cares a bit about human rights, including the right to life. I cannot help asking those who have forced that situation: Do you realize what you have done?” No, they don’t realize what they have done, and […]
New U.S. Army patch for fight against the Islamic State closely resembles Muslim Brotherhood logo
That’s fitting in Barack Obama’s America, since he so indefatigably aided the Brotherhood when they took power in Egypt and continued to do so even after they were toppled, and since the Brotherhood is a chief competitor to the Islamic State in wanting to establish a caliphate of its own. It’s also a fitting symbol […]
Islamic State jihadis deride “coconuts”: Muslims who participated in interfaith activities with Pope
Given the nature of the Islamic State, this condemnation must be seen as a death threat. In any case, it indicates why we don’t see more sincere Islamic reformers: their lives are threatened by hardliners. And the cartoon of the Islamic State slashing the “Coexist” symbol is a candent illustration of the futility and fatuousness […]
Russia, Iraq, Syria, and Iran to share intelligence about the Islamic State
Obama and the French and the others in the Western coalition are merely carrying out cosmetic strikes against the Islamic State. Russia is now acting with Iran and its client regimes in Baghdad and Damascus to do something genuine to fight the Islamic State. Obama won’t coordinate with Putin because of Assad: “American officials, who […]
Afghanistan: Islamic jihadists murder nine with attack on sports match
Accounts differ as to whether what was being played was volleyball, cricket or soccer. Probably they were murdered because they were so impious as to be playing a game instead of devoting themselves to serving Allah. “Afghan militants attack sports match in Paktika,” BBC, September 28, 2015: At least nine people have been killed in […]
Video: Arabic-speaking woman tells what “migrants” really say about “infidels”
A European woman who speaks Arabic translates what the Muslim migrants were saying when they thought she didn’t understand their language. Very revealing. Video thanks to Pamela Geller.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Should Not Be President
“Sharia law is for Muslims. So if there is a Muslim majority state then it has to be run by Sharia,” stated basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with surprisingly little public controversy in a September 23 interview. This statement and other elements from Abdul-Jabbar’s biography only accentuated reservations concerning a Muslim president recently raised by Ben […]
Mecca: Muslim pilgrim commits suicide in “hope of entering paradise”
A Muslim pilgrim in Mecca committed suicide by hanging himself in a bathroom of the holy site of Mina. He did so in “hope of entering paradise.” The man was from Bangadesh and reportedly 50-years-old. He was found hanging in the bathroom around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22. According to witnesses, the man had […]
Raymond Ibrahim: Obama Throws Christian Refugees to Lions
Gatestone Institute The fate of those Iraqi Christians who had fled from the Islamic State only to be incarcerated in the United States has finally been decided by the Obama administration: they are to be thrown back to the lions, where they will likely be persecuted if not slaughtered like so many Iraqi Christians before […]
Relax: Australia and Indonesia to work together to rehabilitate jihadis
How they propose to do this is unclear. Probably they think they will rehabilitate these jihadis by showing them that the tragically misunderstood Qur’an is actually a Book of Peace. Perhaps they will be able to get John Kerry or Pope Francis or David Cameron or some other world-class authority on Islamic teaching to go […]
Where the Islamic State has directed or inspired jihad attacks worldwide
A global reach. Map is larger size at the New York Times source.
Now 30,000 foreign Muslims have joined ISIS; analyst says they’ve lost momentum
“Nearly 30,000 foreign recruits have now poured into Syria, many to join the Islamic State, a doubling of volunteers in just the past 12 months and stark evidence that an international effort to tighten borders, share intelligence and enforce antiterrorism laws is not diminishing the ranks of new militant fighters.” But don’t be concerned. The […]
UK Muslims pelt soldier in uniform with eggs, excrement
The soldier describes what happens in the audio here. When he is asked who attacked him with the eggs and excrement, he says very guardedly: “uh, certain religious side of our community.” And later he says that his attackers were “wearing pretty much similar clothing, they were all in sort of religious wear, like white […]
ABC’s “Quantico” tackles terrorism, offends Mormons
It is a staple of the Muslim victimhood industry to complain that Hollywood frequently features Muslim terrorist villains, and seldom depicts Muslims as anything other than terrorists. In reality, can you think of even one major motion picture that featured Islamic terrorists as the villains? In Tom Clancy’s The Sum of All Fears, jihadis were […]
French strikes against Islamic State unlikely to yield gains or stop jihadis
All for show, like the American effort: “We can already see it in Iraq, where the majority of American planes return to base without having dropped their bombs. And we have just learned the result of these operations were manipulated to make us think they were working.” “French strikes in Syria to reap political, but […]
Salon: “We are at war with an imaginary Islam”
From Salon comes this particularly lengthy and turgid exercise in Leftist denial of reality. “The United States is at war with a very different, mythic Islam of its own making that has nothing at all to do with this Islam of the Qur’an,” says Raymond William Baker, without bothering to examine the Qur’an at all […]
