Oh, this one hurts. I already had my flight booked to Tehran for a three-week vacation. I guess I’ll just have to go to Mogadishu instead. Seriously, while Iran has a great history, as I explain in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran is so repressive and authoritarian, […]

Iran’s President, Berlin’s Mayor liken Trump’s Mexican border wall to Berlin Wall
And this from Berlin Mayor Michael Müller: Müller’s statement has been widely circulated and greeted with joyful ululations among clueless Leftist millennials. Apparently there wasn’t time back in high school to take a break from teaching about how the U.S. was founded by white male slaveowners and has a history of oppression, racism and imperialism, […]
New York Times claims that “far-right media” is stoking “anxiety about Muslim refugees”
Here’s some real news for the fake news purveyors over at the New York Times: the “far-right media” isn’t responsible for “anxiety about Muslim refugees.” Who is actually responsible? People such as Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry, who in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan […]
Virginia Church Hosts Lecture on “Islamophobia,” Professor Claims It’s Driven By “Imperialism”
“I have lots of relationships with Muslims. They have taught me compassion and peace,” stated Luther College Professor Todd Green during a January 22 presentation at McLean, Virginia’s Lewinsville Presbyterian Church (LPC). Here this self-proclaimed “scholar of Islamophobia” and “anti-Islamophobia activist” reiterated his fantasy that interpersonal relationships with Muslims can refute supposed “Islamophobic” prejudices arising […]
Canada moving toward criminalizing “Islamophobia”
Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate crime without even defining Islamophobia or demonstrating that it is a phenomenon requiring legal action. A big question to bear in mind is why the “Islamophobia” motion was “unanimously” agreed upon in Parliament. What happened to the few Conservative members present? […]
Edinburgh, Scotland wants citizens to vote for a city free of “Islamophobia”
Police in Edinburgh and the City of Edinburgh Council are inviting people to vote for projects designed to create a city free from Islamophobia. Here we go again: forcing upon the Western public a bogus term that moves toward the criminalizing of speech critical of Islam, in keeping with Sharia blasphemy law. “Islamophobia” is a […]
Hamas-linked CAIR smears Ted Cruz in frantic efforts to block Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Bill
In its efforts to block the bill and smear Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), the senator spearheading the designation effort, CAIR recently claimed that the bill “was written by a disgraced former FBI agent who has made a career out of bashing Muslims and Islam. Hamas-linked CAIR is accustomed to lying, smearing, and playing the […]
Honor killing in Trinidad: Teen Muslima murdered for being seen with non-Muslim man
Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men, although it allows Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women. The idea is that the Muslim community is always expanding, while the non-Muslim community is always in decline. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to […]
Convicted al-Qaeda terrorist and George Washington U prof moves up from jihad and academia to coke and hookers
He has been arrested for possession of cocaine and consorting with a prostitute. That’s bad, but look, it could be much worse: Morton could still be a jihad terrorist, or he could still be working as an academic. From jihad to academia to coke and hookers: yes, Jesse Morton is a career criminal, but each […]
Robert Spencer at Reddit — “Ask Me Anything”
Yesterday evening I did an “Ask Me Anything” session at the Reddit subgroup The_Donald. I answered a wide variety of questions; you can read the exchanges here.
Trump signs executive order for “extreme vetting” to “keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the USA”
It is not yet clear whether the signed text is the same, or how it differs, but a published draft of the executive order “Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals” stated: In order to protect Americans, we must ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward our […]
Trump says Syrian Christian refugees will be given priority
“Pew Research Center said last October 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the United States in fiscal year 2016 from all countries – almost the same number of Christian refugees, 37,521.” Reuters is being deliberately misleading. From Syria in 2016, the Obama administration admitted 12,587 refugees: 12,486 Muslims, 68 Christians, and 24 Yazidis. Trump is ending this […]
Texas officials warn of Islamic State threat to U.S.-Mexican border
Build that wall! “Texas Officials Warn of ISIS Threat to U.S.-Mexican Border,” by John Rossomando, Investigative Project, January 26, 2017: A report by the Texas Department of Public Safety raises concerns about ISIS terrorists using the Mexican border both to enter and leave the country. It noted that at least 13 aspiring terrorists have tried […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: “I’m a Muslim — Ask Me Anything”
A Muslim ex-Marine has been travelling across country with a sign: “I’m A Muslim And A U.S. Marine — Ask Anything.” He’s one of a small army of I’m-A-Muslim-Ask-Me-Anything propagandists, moving about our land, attracting small groups of onlookers, and then posting his exchanges with them, which always end with a hug from a newly-enlightened […]
Muslim writer Haroon Moghul says calling someone “kafir” is announcing a death sentence, calls Trump “kafir”
Haroon Moghul is, as I noted yesterday, one of the most ridiculous exponents of the “Islamophobia” victimhood propaganda industry, and he has shown himself to be many times. Obsessed with victimhood, poor Haroon cowers in fear of “Islamophobic” coffee servers: his Starbucks name is not Haroon but “Dwayne” (my Starbucks name, meanwhile, is “Haroon”). When […]
UK: Muslim taxi driver refuses to carry a guide dog because it is against Islam
“Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.’” — Sahih Bukhari 4.54.50 “Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered […]
Trump: “The FBI has over 1,000 investigations going on…these are people that we let in…we can’t take chances”
“We’ve taken in tens of thousands of people. We know nothing about them. They can say they vetted them. They didn’t vet them, they have no papers. How can you vet somebody when you don’t know anything about them and they have no papers?” Indeed. This is all just common sense. But this, like much […]
UK’s Theresa May, speaking in Philadelphia, lauds “the peaceful religion of Islam” and “internationalism”
This will make for an interesting conversation between this self-righteous destroyer of her own nation and President Trump. Theresa May recently boasted about having banned me from the country, and likened me to violent jihad terrorists. I was actually banned for noting, quite correctly, that “[Islam] is a religion and is a belief system that […]
NY Muslim who plotted Islamic State machete attack screams out in court: “There’s going to be more of us”
Yes, there are. That much is certain. However, it is no longer certain that the primary response of the U.S. government will be not to protect the public from these jihadis, but assurances that they have nothing to with Islam. “Man gets 20 years for plotting New Year’s machete attack,” by Carolyn Thompson, Associated Press, […]
Washington Post claims declaring Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group will put academics who study it at risk of arrest
The argument that Yale professor Andrew March presents here in the WaPo is perhaps intended to be satirical. It is difficult to imagine any other alternative, given the fatuousness of its premise. March attempts to cast doubt upon the idea that the Muslim Brotherhood even has any relationship with terrorism. He also indulges in hysterical […]
