Ilhan Omar is likely to be found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter what the facts of the case may be. Why? Because as a quadruple victim — female, migrant, black, Muslim — she has a coveted protected status in American society today, and privilege to do essentially whatever she wants. I’m not saying […]

UK: Muslim migrant awarded $2,900 after bosses decide not to give him Cognac to avoid offending him
Zakaria Kioua won a bottle of Cognac in an employee raffle, but the raffle organizers decided to give him chocolates instead, so as to avoid offending his Islamic sensibilities. But he says: “As a human, I should have been asked. They know I do not have problems receiving alcohol.” And now his bosses have to […]
Canada: Muslims urge government to act against white supremacists as two Muslims are charged with joining ISIS
White supremacism may indeed be a major threat in Canada, but could there be an even greater threat that both the Muslim communities and the government are largely ignoring? “Canadian Muslims urge gov’t to act against hate groups,” by Barry Ellsworth, The Muslim News, September 25, 2020: TRENTON, Canada (AA): Following the murder of a […]
Orban: ‘By 2050, 20 per cent of Europe would be Muslim. Central European countries have chosen a different future.’
It is, of course, “racist,” “bigoted,” and “Islamophobic” for Europeans and North Americans to want to preserve their own culture and heritage. For every other people, it is laudable. “PM Orbán: 20% of Europe’s population will be Muslim by 2050, but Central Europe is choosing a different path on migration,” by John Cody, Remix, September […]
France: Men beat woman after one says ‘Look at that whore in a skirt’
This random attack could be a manifestation of the contempt that Islam teaches for unveiled, non-Muslim women. It is hard to think of another group that would call a woman a “whore” for wearing a skirt, but there may be one. The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women […]
International Union of Muslim Scholars top dog: peace deals with Israel are attempt to ‘uproot Islam’
As I explain in detail in The Palestinian Delusion, the “Palestinian” conflict with Israel is based on Islamic imperatives, the one aspect of the conflict that all mainstream analysts discount or ignore altogether. Accordingly, it is no surprise at all that the “Palestinians” and their allies, such as Ali al-Qaradaghi, would try to marshal opposition […]
US ambassador-designate to Pakistan: ‘Pakistan must take sustained and irreversible action against terrorism’
We have been waiting for Pakistan to take sustained and irreversible action against terrorism for nineteen years now. How many more years is it going to take before mainstream foreign policy analysts wake up and realize that Pakistan is not a reliable ally and never will be, unless there is a major transformation in Pakistani […]
Sri Lanka: Qatar Charity accused of providing funds for jihad terror activities
In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities. “Qatar Charity funded Hizbullah for terrorism activities: CID,” Daily Mirror (Sri Lanka), September 23, 2020: The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today informed Fort […]
An Israel-Hating Academic’s Obsession
At the University of Toronto Law School, a faculty committee recommended that Valentina Azarova be hired as the director of the school’s International Human Rights Program. The Dean of the Law School, Edward Iacobucci, disagreed with the committee’s recommendation and did not make the offer. That has led to a great contretemps, with the Dean […]
Odense Mayor: ‘We will send a clear societal signal to imams who practise Sharia that it is punishable in Denmark’
Odense’s mayor, Peter Rahbæk Juel, said: “It is psychological violence, carried out by means of Sharia Law. It’s unacceptable, and it hurts my stomach to read these things….We will send a clear societal signal to imams and preachers who practise Sharia Law that it is punishable in Denmark.” Ultimately every Western nation, and every non-Muslim […]
Germany: Muslims insult and threaten Israeli woman for displaying Israeli flag, police investigate her, not them
In Germany as well as in Britain and Sweden, Muslims are treated as a protected class. If they are offended, police take action, even if their offense is greater. How can any free society survive the establishment of one group as beyond all criticism or offense? “Frankfurt police are investigating an insulted Jewish woman,” by […]
Muslim cleric calls for new laws that ‘draw a clear line between freedom of speech and hate speech’
No such line can or should be drawn. “Hate speech” is an inherently subjective concept that can only be defined in accord with the principles and priorities of the person charged with the responsibility of defining it. In practice, “hate speech” laws are used to silence speech that those in power want silenced. Also, the […]
Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens recounts how he converted to Islam and became a victim
Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens is a darling of the Western media these days, because he converted to the elites’ favored religion. Critics generally treat Bob Dylan’s “Christian period” as an embarrassing anomaly in his otherwise stellar career, while Yusuf Islam gets articles like the one below to explain his thinking and justify his action. Neither Yahoo’s […]
France: 7,000 cops and soldiers protecting Jews for Yom Kippur, as Jews ‘particularly targeted by Islamist attacks’
It is laudable that the French government is so committed to protecting Jews in France on Yom Kippur, but was it really wise to bring into the country large numbers of people among whom would be many who might incline toward violence against Jews? “Paris Attacker Says He Was Targeting ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Magazine,” VOA News, […]
Muslim CUNY Law student threatens to set man wearing IDF sweatshirt on fire
What have CUNY authorities done about this case? Or in the light of the fact that Nerdeen Kiswani’s views largely align with theirs, have they done nothing? College and university campuses have become increasingly inhospitable spaces for Jewish and pro-Israel students. Horrific – a student at @CUNY, Nerdeen Kiswani, threatens to set on fire a […]
France: Muslim migrant who stabbed two in attempt to target Charlie Hebdo entered country as unaccompanied minor
When no effort whatsoever is made to ensure that new residents of France accept French values, this is the sort of thing that will inevitably happen. “Paris Attacker Says He Was Targeting ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Magazine,” VOA News, September 27, 2020: French officials say a man who is suspected of stabbing two people Friday in Paris […]
Germany: Muslim migrant family charged with plotting to murder daughter because of her Western lifestyle
Refugees welcome! They are not dangerous, they are in danger! This incident is reminiscent of a strange story in the Qur’an. A mysterious figure, known as Khidr in Islamic tradition, kills a boy in an apparently random and gratuitous attack. He then explains: “And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared […]
UK: Muslim Brotherhood operates unchecked as government doing nothing to tackle its influence
The government has admitted that there is no central planning to deal with the organization, even as it “allows the extremist network to grow, it puts in place the financial network and it radicalises people.” Now some politicians are calling for the Muslim Brotherhood to be banned from Britain. But apparently that penalty is reserved […]
Update: Will Sudan Be Next to Normalize Relations with Israel?
In late-August I posted an article “Is Sudan Next?” where I discussed the possibility – the likelihood – that after the United Arab Emirates, the next Arab state to normalize relations with Israel was likely to be either the Sudan or Bahrain. At the time, most bets were on Bahrain, so naturally, wanting to go […]
Italy: Top Muslim leader says Judaism and Christianity are ‘manipulation of original messages of prophets’
Yassine Baradai is simply enunciating standard Islamic theology, which holds that all the Biblical prophets were Muslims (cf. Qur’an 3:67, which says it about Abraham), and that their wayward followers then twisted and hijacked their teachings to create Judaism and Christianity. But the Pope and the Italian Catholic bishops either don’t know this or are […]
