Westerners ‘should stop making films about Islam’
By Ciar Byrne for the Independent: Western documentary makers should think twice about making films about Islam because they do not understand the issues as well as their Muslim counterparts, a leading Muslim film-maker has said.

Negativity on Islam ‘fuels tension’
From the Press Association via The Guardian: The UK must be careful how it tackles terrorism and treats Islamic culture if it is to avoid recreating a society reminiscent of Nazi Germany, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain has warned.

Debate on U.S. Kosovo Policy Brewing in Washington
One of the supreme ironies of the “Global War on Terror” has been the consistency with which the US has pursued pro-jihadist foreign and military policies since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Not even the spectacular carnage of 9/11 has shaken the resolve of the State Department, for example, to back Muslim demands […]

Now I’m still not quite sure what to make of this article, but, I think you’ll agree, that the headline is curious if nothing else. By Sheila Musaji in the
Pelosi backtracks on Armenian Genocide bill
Whatever one may think of the current congressional leadership, one had to give them credit for pushing ahead with the non-binding resolution to acknowledge one of the great crimes of history, the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians by the Turks during World War I.

The Decider: All religions pray to “same God”
So, for the past several months, I (Greg) have been affirming to those unfortunate enough to find themselves in a checkout line with me or waiting at a taxi stand that, however bleak things might seem, I have detected a slight wavering of the needle in the right direction.

Muzzling in the Name of Islam
Latest from the Washington [bleep]. Here is a good example of the not-completely-wrong sort of writing that does so much to cloud the issue over Islam’s fundamentally hostile and intolerant nature. Here Paul Marshall appears critical of practices in Islamic countries such as repressing speech on the grounds of blasphemy. OK. But the article gives […]
Democracy, not terror, is the engine of political Islam
I thought I would include this piece by William Dalrymple in The Guardian because, despite its general muddle-headedness, it nonetheless indicates some kind of improvement in the media’s grasp of the nature of the Islamic danger.
