In this debate with David Wood yesterday, Mohammed Hijab gives an ugly example of what are all too common tactics employed by Muslim debaters. This debate is an unpleasant experience to watch, because Hijab’s arrogance, contempt, and hatred are on full, open, unapologetic display, to the utter glee of the mostly Muslim audience, which twice […]
UK: Church invites imam to deliver Eucharistic sermon
How wonderful and broad-minded! When is the mosque going to feature a Christian priest delivering the Friday khutba? “He will no doubt be preaching about love, peace, reconciliation and tolerance, all of which would be laudable topics for an inter-faith lecture or post-worship meditation.” Probably. But here are some Qur’an passages that he could preach […]
Meet A Muslim: Moina Shaiq (Part Four)
Among Moina Shaiq’s other claims is that the Shias and Sunnis always lived peacefully together until recently, when “politics” turned them against one another. It’s unclear if she wants to blame the Infidels for this. But as a matter of history, she is wrong. The Shias and Sunnis have been sworn enemies since the battle […]
Meet A Muslim: Moina Shaiq (Part Three)
Moina Shaiq discusses the role of women in Islam, claiming that they had the right to vote before American women did. In point of fact, the only Muslim women who were granted the right to vote before American women received it in 1920 were in the new Soviet republics. The Crimean People’s Republic, the Azerbaijan […]
Meet A Muslim: Moina Shaiq (Part Two)
Moina Shaiq is fond, too, of quoting Qur’an 109.1: “Unto you your religion, and unto me mine.” On its face, it sounds like a statement of tolerance — ‘go ahead, keep your religion, we Muslims don’t mind.” But Qur’an 109 means the exact opposite of what Shaiq wants people to believe. The Quraysh tribe had […]
Meet A Muslim: Moina Shaiq (Part One)
Moina Shaiq is a Muslim who migrated from Pakistan to the United States in 1978 with her family, taking full advantage of the freedoms and opportunities that this country offered. After the San Bernardino massacre of 2015, she decided that she had to do something to bring the truth about peaceful Islam to Americans “before prejudice set […]
Vatican diplomat who “helped heal the wounds opened by Pope Benedict’s notorious Regensburg speech” dies
All that Pope Benedict did at Regenburg was quote the Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Paleologos, who said that Muhammad brought nothing new but what was evil and inhumane. In my new book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, you will encounter the tragic figure of Manuel II Paleologos, and see how terribly he […]
Iraqi Christian: “We have actually been weakened by the stance taken by the Vatican”
Aziz Emmanuel al-Zebari is right. Last September, the Pope met in the Vatican with Dr. Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL), a group that has been linked to the financing of jihad terror. During the meeting, al-Issa thanked the Pope for his “fair positions” on what he […]
“Ask a Muslim Anything”? Really?
Last evening (Wednesday, June 6, 2018), I attended the forum, “Ask a Muslim Anything,” held at the public library in Berwick, Maine. There were approximately 30 people there, and most unquestionably swallowed the Muslim speaker’s assessment of Islam, its history and sharia law. Robert Azzi “is frequently invited to speak to schools, libraries and civic […]
Islamic Republic of Iran vows to continue to support Hamas, Hizballah, Islamic jihad and other jihad terror groups
“We are ready to start constructive and rational dialogue with the Saudis without any preconditions” said Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Shamkhani. Jihad terrorist regimes do not negotiate. They trick, manipulate and buy time, as the world saw in the case of the Iranian nuclear deal. While Barack Obama and […]
“You Don’t Have To Shy Away From Asking Sensitive Questions… And Their Food Is Awesome”
One more study in fatuity, in a recent story from Bill White, a journalist at The Morning Call, a paper in Allentown, Pennsylvania. “Islam and Chili“: OK, I confess I was trying to intrigue at least a few potential readers with that strange headline. But it really does reflect what I’m writing about, which is […]
Catholic university in Iowa opens sex-segregated prayer space for Muslim students
How wonderfully ecumenical and broadminded! When will the local Islamic school open a chapel for Christian students? What’s that? It doesn’t work that way? Why not? Meanwhile, this is the sort of thing that the Muslim students will be praying in their dedicated prayer room at St. Ambrose University: Jesus is not the Son of […]
Christians and Muslims celebrate the Annunciation: “Interfaith Dialogue” builds another Potemkin Village
Potemkin village: An impressive façade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition. — Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition On March 28, 2018, Christians and Muslims gathered at the Al Hussein Cultural Center in Amman, Jordan to celebrate the Annunciation. The driving force behind this was the Catholic Center for Studies and Media […]
Shia interfaith activist admits: “Islamic State’s terror, beheadings deeply rooted in Islam”
A prominent Iraqi Shiite interfaith activist told BBC Arabic earlier this month that the Islamic State terror group’s violence, including beheadings, is “deeply rooted in Islam,” which makes it “a hundred times more evil.” Jawad Al-Khoei also said that Christians were “the owners of this land, and the Muslims came here as their guests. Al-Khoei […]
Catholic Church sets out a vision for closer ties with Islam
Had Charles Martel and the Franks lost their battle against the jihadis at Tours in 732, the eighteenth-century English historian Edward Gibbon envisioned the continent’s complete Islamization: A victorious line of march had been prolonged above a thousand miles from the rock of Gibraltar to the banks of the Loire; the repetition of an equal […]
UK: Blackburn Cathedral to hold “Jihad of Jesus” seminar
“Jihad of Jesus,” eh? It’s always the Christians who host these outreach events to Muslims. Never do we see a mosque holding a “Eucharist of Muhammad” or some such event. Mohammed Ali Amla, founder of Christian Encounter, says: “We want this to be an event that people can come to and learn about communities working […]
UK church removes pews so that it can host Muslim events
Great! Where, when and how are Muslims reciprocating? What’s that? They aren’t? Of course. “Interfaith dialogue” consists wholly and solely of Infidels making concessions to Muslims, never, ever the other way around. Soon the place will be a mosque anyway, so it hardly matters. Britain is finished. “Church allowed to remove pews to allow Muslim […]
Robert Spencer video: CAIR’s rabbi and the perils of “interfaith dialogue”
In this new video, I explain why it was a mistake for Massachusetts Rabbi Howard Jaffe of Temple Isaiah in Lexington, Massachusetts to bring in Nadeem Mazen of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Stephanie Marzouk of the Muslim Justice League (MJL), and Samer Naseredden of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC), all […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Massachusetts Rabbi Invites Hamas-Linked CAIR, Others to Mislead His Congregation
The CAIR leader was even allowed to ask for financial donations. My latest at PJ Media: Rabbi Howard Jaffe of Temple Isaiah in Lexington, Massachusetts, recently illustrated how, all too often, efforts at “interfaith dialogue” are futile and self-defeating. Jaffe staged an event entitled “Out of Many, One,” featuring Nadeem Mazen of the Council on American-Islamic […]
Robert Spencer: The Islamic State Releases Image of Pope Francis Beheaded
He has already lost his head. This would just make it official. A new one in FrontPage: The Islamic State (ISIS) last Friday released a poster depicting Pope Francis beheaded, following quickly after its threat to attack the Vatican and draw “Christmas blood.” If the Pope has been apprised of this, he must feel piqued […]
