“Counter-terrorism units have been making arrests on a near daily basis amid a huge effort to contain the threat to the UK.” That is dramatic evidence that their entire approach to the jihad threat is wrongheaded and doomed to failure. But no one in the May government seems to be in a particularly reflective mood. […]

Westminster jihad murderer Khalid Masood, in last message, declared he was waging jihad
How inconvenient for the mainstream narrative. Deputy assistant Metropolitan police commissioner Neil Basu said in March: “We must all accept that there is a possibility we will never understand why he did this. That understanding may have died with him.” Anything to avoid noting an Islamic motivation. “Last message left by Westminster attacker Khalid Masood […]
Pope in Egypt: “Let us say… ‘No!’ to every form of violence…carried out in the name of religion”
It’s hard to be Egyptian: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, wild animals, diseased livestock, boils, hailstorms, locusts, darkness, death of firstborn, and now Pope Francis. Seriously, Francis notes the “incompatibility of violence and faith” and says: “Let us say once more a firm and clear ‘No!’ to every form of violence, vengeance and hatred […]
PA cuts salaries to Gaza workers, not to jihadist prisoners
The PA announced it is cutting salaries to state employees in Gaza, but is not cutting the salaries it pays to terrorist prisoners including murderers and released terrorists who will continue receiving their full salaries. The Palestinian Authority’s routine abuse of its own people (as well as that of Hamas) makes it no surprise that the […]
Federal law doesn’t require healthcare providers to report FGM despite half a million at risk
Current federal law criminalizes the practice of FGM, but does not specifically require reporting on it, though health care providers are obligated to report instances of child abuse, a category in which FGM falls Female genital mutilation is gratuitous violence against girls and women, and is a violation of human rights; failing to report it not […]
Germaine Greer justifies child marriage, says female genital mutilation is “not Islam”
We see it again and again with feminists: defending Islam trumps their concern for the rights of women, just as we see with gay rights activists such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman that defending Islam trumps their concern for the persecution of gays in Muslim countries. What is behind this odd calculus is a […]
UK: Muslim teen plotted jihad massacre at Elton John concert
You have to give Haroon Syed credit for good taste, but nonetheless, his remedy for this Elton John concert was a bit extreme. “Judge Michael Topolski QC adjourned sentencing until June 8 for a probation and psychiatric report to be done.” Of course, because Western authorities always assume that jihadis must be insane. They assume […]
Pakistan: Teen girl forced into sex slavery, then murdered by Muslim brother for “illicit relationships with some men”
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a father […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Pope Heads to Egypt to Defend Islam
Catholics take note: his favorite religion isn’t yours. My latest in FrontPage: Reuters reported Tuesday that “Pope Francis hopes to mend ties with Muslims on his trip to Egypt on Friday but faces criticism from church conservatives for meeting Islamic religious leaders after a spate of deadly attacks against Christians.” He has to mend ties? […]
Pence: “Indonesia’s tradition of moderate Islam, frankly, is an inspiration to the world”
Some recent headlines from this inspiring beacon of moderate Islam: Indonesia: Sharia vigilantes beat gay couple, then turn them over to religious police Sharia Indonesia: Woman gets 100 lashes for sex outside marriage “Moderate” Indonesia gives “messiah” five years in prison for “blasphemy” Indonesia’s Aceh province lashes 339 people with cane in 2016 for violations […]
UK: Muslim student leaves ball-bearing bomb on London Tube train, walks away to attend lecture
British officials remain completely uninterested in the recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam falling into what those officials generally insist is a perversion of the true, peaceful Islam. Why do so many converts get the idea that their new religion calls for treason and mass murder? No one seems to care to find the answer. […]

The Atlantic claims that conservatives want to restrict Muslims’ religious freedom
Why do Americans increasingly distrust the establishment media? Aside from its rampant and ever-growing record of dishonesty, deceit, and unfairness, there are articles such as this one, featuring such spectacularly poor reasoning that it is astonishing that even The Atlantic let it get through their system. Are The Atlantic’s editors, and its audience as well, […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Art Under — And Out From Under — Islam (Part III)
As discussed in Art Under And Out From Under Islam (Part I), MoMA has been eager to score political points against Trump’s ban by rather confusedly claiming that Western artists have learned so much from the “colonized” (and by implication, Islamic) peoples, and that the creations of Muslim artists put on display somehow prove how […]
Ireland: Two Muslims arrested for involvement in Islamic terror activity
The constant background noise of jihad attacks, as well as foiled plots and arrests of Muslims, is increasing in every country in the Western world. The mainstream narrative is that these Muslims are angered and “radicalized” by the discrimination and harassment they supposedly experience in Western nations. But the universality of these accounts gives the […]
Michigan: Examinations reveal that Muslim doctor’s claim she didn’t perform female genital mutilation is false
“The girls’ parents have not been charged.” Why not? Obviously they wanted this done to their girls. Jumana Nagarwala didn’t steal into their homes in the dark of night and perform this barbaric procedure of her own accord. “Report: Girl’s genital mutilation injury worse than doctor claims,” by Tresa Baldas, Detroit Free Press, April 26, […]
Michigan: Lawyer says doctors accused of FGM are “Muslims and they’re being under attack because of it”
Dr. Attar’s attorney Mary Chartier said: “I do believe that the government does not fully understand the religious practices of Dr. Attar and Dr. Attar’s religion, and I think that’s why we are in this courthouse today, and what we’ll be fighting over for the next few months.” Indeed: the government is likely clueless as […]
Palestinian leaders vow to sue UK government after it refuses to apologize for Balfour Declaration
Palestinian leaders have vowed to sue the British Government after it refused to apologise for a 1917 declaration that paved the way for the creation of Israel. So now the jihadist rulers of the Palestinian territories are planning to tie up Britain in lawfare over the existence of the State of Israel. How brazenly absurd. Immediately after the birth […]
Saudi Arabia: Man sentenced to be beheaded for atheism
The sharia courts in Saudi Arabia have sentenced a young man in his twenties to death by beheading for atheism, apostasy and blasphemy. This is a country ruled by normative Islam. Ahmad Al Shamri renounced Islam and Muhammad on social media. His defense tried to enter an insanity plea, stating that he was under the […]
Palestinian “feminist” jihadist convicted of immigration fraud
A Palestinian woman who perpetrated an infamous 1969 supermarket bombing in Jerusalem, and who later immigrated to the US, has been convicted in a plea deal of immigration fraud by a US federal court in Detroit and is expected to be deported to Jordan. Odeh acted on behalf of the Popular Front for the Liberation […]
