ROME — A decision to cover up nude statues from Roman antiquity during a visit by President Hassan Rouhani of Iran has drawn ridicule and scorn in Italy — much of it directed at the Italian government — and spurred a debate about the national identity. The statues, in a corridor leading to a grand […]

Iranian drone flew over US carrier — Navy says it was “abnormal and unprofessional”
How the weakness and pusillanimity of American leadership, and all its impotent schoolmarmish tut-tutting, must amuse the Iranians. “Hitler reoccupies Rhineland — French say it’s ‘abnormal and unprofessional.’” Cowardice in the face of an aggressive bully only emboldens the bully and encourages him to do more bullying. That is where we are with Iran today: […]
Alcohol banned in UK government building: under Sharia because of secret deal to finance Islamic bond scheme
I have been warning for quite some time that Sharia was coming to the United Kingdom, given its hospitality to Sharia finance, galloping eagerness to accommodate Islamic supremacists in all areas, unwillingness to defend its girls from Muslim rape gangs for fear of being accused of “racism,” and desire to implement Sharia blasphemy laws by […]
The ‘Same God’ Question (Part 1)
Why the wrong answer is killing the West, including America Introduction: An Epistemological Malady In his 2010 book, Revelation: Do We Worship the Same God? [1], Mark Durie addresses what is at stake when it comes to the “Same God Question”: The traditional Islamic view is that if you want to know what the God of […]
Leading Saudi cleric says Islamic State and Saudi Arabia “follow the same thought”
This is consistent with Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani’s many pronouncements over the years, that Islamic State is a “true product of Salafism,” that Shi’ites are “apostates,” and rejoicing that Saudi Arabia “shelters [him] from hearing church bells ringing.” Yet Obama, Kerry, Clinton and most Western leaders insist that the Islamic State is not Islamic. “Leading Saudi […]
Glenn Greenwald yet again falsely claims story of US Muslim arrested in Turkish raid on Islamic State cell was false
This is an ongoing controversy, about which I wrote previously here: investigative journalist and terror analyst Patrick Poole of PJ Media reported that a Muslim from the U.S., Saadiq Long, had been arrested in Turkey during a raid on an Islamic State cell. The kicker to the story was that Long had been a media […]
Egypt: Homemade bomb placed near Coptic Christian church
A makeshift bomb was found near a church in Egypt on January 22. Father Paul of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt found what he described as a “foreign object” next to the garbage bin outside of the Virgin Mary Church in Aswan. He took it in to the authorities for analysis, and it was […]
Raymond Ibrahim: When Muslims Mutilate Themselves for Allah
“Infidels,” or non-Muslims—or those who are not Muslim enough or the wrong kinds of Muslims—are often seen as the natural recipients of Islamic violence as prescribed by Islamic law, or Sharia. Few, however, are aware that Sharia can cause individual Muslims to do violence upon themselves. According to France24, on January 15, a Muslim boy in Pakistan […]
Police in German city accused of allowing Muslim migrants to shoplift
It’s great to be young and a Muslim migrant in the Brave New Europe: you’re a protected class within a protected class. You can break any law you want, and authorities will put on funny hats and hand you leaflets. You can commit mass rape and women will come hand you flowers. No matter what […]
Raymond Ibrahim: “Christian Girls Are Only Meant for the Pleasure of Muslim Men”
Gatestone Institute Three Christian girls in Pakistan, who rejected the advances of some wealthy Muslim young men, were recently mauled by them. One of the girls died. London-born Chairman of the British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) and human rights activist, Wilson Chowdhry, who broke the story, reported that one of the men had said: “Christian […]
Panic at Disneyland Paris: Muslim with two handguns and copy of the Qur’an arrested
“We don’t know if he had the intention of causing harm.” But we have a pretty fair idea. “BREAKING NEWS: Disneyland Paris on ALERT as man brandishing two handguns arrested,’ by Alix Culbertson, Express, January 28, 2016: French police confirmed they have arrested a man after he was found carrying two 7.65 calibre firearms – […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Schengenland And Its Discontents
After World War II, under the leadership of the French statesmen Jean Monnet and others, European governments were determined to find ways to bind their countries together in ways that might prevent the 20th century catastrophes from being repeated. Their first effort, not unnaturally, was to create in 1951 the European Coal and Steel Community, […]
The hypnotic dance of death
The cultural totalitarianism of the postmodern era did the impossible: it changed the very nature of man In my correspondence regarding the events in Cologne, an editor of a Russian newspaper asked a natural but discouraging question. Perplexed, he asked me: “Where were the German men?” Indeed, for those of us who grew up in […]
Anni Cyrus Moment: Sentenced to Stoning in the Islamic Republic
This special edition of The Glazov Gang presents The Anni Cyrus Moment with Anni Cyrus, the show’s producer. Anni discussed Sentenced to Stoning in the Islamic Republic, asking if you know the name of the woman who was recently sentenced to death by stoning in Iran. If not, why not? Don’t miss it! And make sure […]
Newly released docs: Boston Marathon jihad murderer showed “opposite of remorse” when he was captured
Why should he have shown any remorse? He had just murdered Infidels in obedience to his bloodthirsty god who commanded him to “kill them wherever you find them” (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5). “Prosecutors: Marathon bomber showed ‘opposite of remorse,’” by Denise Lavoie, Associated Press, January 27, 2016 Updated: January 27, 2016: BOSTON (AP) — […]
Cologne carnival organizers give Muslim migrants leaflets telling them not to rape women or urinate in public
Yet another naive half-measure trying desperately to stave off the inevitable. Leaflets aren’t going to dissuade the Muslim migrants that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. the Qur’an’s allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your […]
Another Obama concession to Iran: $10 million claim dropped in prisoner deal
Nader Modanlo was accused of taking an illegal $10 million payment from Iran. “U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said the evidence against Modanlo had been disclosed in court and proved ‘beyond any reasonable doubt that Mr. Modanlo secretly helped Iran launch a satellite for $10 million.’” The U.S. dropped the $10 million claim against him as […]
Netanyahu: “The words of the U.N. secretary general give a tailwind to terrorism”
“The Palestinian murderers do not want to build a state — they want to destroy a state and they say that out loud. They want to kill Jews wherever they are, and they say that out loud.” Good to see a political leader finally telling the truth about this. “Netanyahu Chides Ban Ki-moon for Settlement […]
Canada rejects U.S. security concerns over Syrian refugees
More comic opera absurdity from our leaders. The U.S. Senate hearing is entitled “Canada’s Fast-Track Refugee Plan: Unanswered Questions and Implications for U.S. National Security.” The Senate has shown no similar concern, as far as I know, over the Obama Administration’s assurances that all refugees will be thoroughly “vetted,” despite the impossibility of doing so. […]
Coptic Bishop Angaelos condemns Church’s silence on Christian decline, fails to mention Islam as cause
Although nowhere near as deplorable as the recent defense of “our Muslim brothers” by Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregory III Laham, the absurd silence cloaked in this critique of the Church’s silence reveals the paralysis and fear which grips most of the Christian world. As important as this WCC & UN conference may be, and how ever well-intentioned […]
