The Archbishop of Toulouse, Robert Le Gall, has weighed in on Macron’s defense of freedom of expression and the subsequent world-wide Muslim rage against him. And the Archbishop, instead of supporting Macron, and that freedom that the French hold dear, has come down on the side of thin-skinned, murderous Muslims. The story is here: “Prophet […]
Canada: Bloc Québécois leader slams Trudeau’s response to jihad attacks in France
Last Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that the freedom of expression was “not without limits,” and should not “arbitrarily and needlessly hurt” certain communities. This was appalling, as the context of Trudeau’s comments suggested that the beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty for showing a Muhammad cartoon was justified. In response, Bloc Québécois […]
Bangladesh: Muslim mob burns homes of Hindus over Facebook post about Muhammad cartoons
A glimpse into the near future of Europe and North America. “Bangladesh: Muslim mob attacks, burns houses of Hindus over a Facebook post about Charlie Hebdo cartoons,” OpIndia, November 2, 2020: In a shocking display of intolerance and bigotry, a group of radical Islamists attacked over 10 Hindu families on Sunday at Korbanpur village under […]
UAE minister defies global Islamic fury and backs Macron’s remarks on Muslims needing to integrate in West
Amid upheaval across the Muslim world over France’s Muhammad cartoons and defense of the freedom of expression, the United Arab Emirates’ minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, has come out in support of French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments about Muslim integration. Despite Gargash’s good intentions, however, the widespread backlash against Macron, with tens […]
Bangladesh: Hindu student accused of insulting Muhammad, is suspended from university and goes missing
Any university in the United States would have suspended or at least reprimanded her as well. You can’t criticize Muhammad in academic settings today; America’s colleges and universities are wholly compromised. The girl’s name is spelled in different ways in this story. I don’t know which spelling is correct. “Hindu girl, who was suspended from […]
Belgium: Teacher suspended for showing Muhammad cartoon to his class in heavily Muslim area
The West is going to have to decide: will it uphold and defend the freedom of expression, or surrender to Sharia blasphemy laws and violent intimidation? In Belgium, it looks as if authorities are already opting for the latter. And Belgium is not alone. In Sharia Sweden, police hunted for people who burned the Qur’an […]
Islamic Scholar Yasir Qadhi Says There’s a ‘Brutal’ Campaign Against Islam in France
Yasir Qadhi is an Islamic scholar living in the U.S. who in a recent sermon deplored what he describes as an anti-Islamic campaign by the French government. The report on his sermon is here: “Prominent American Islamic Scholar Dr. Yasir Qadhi: The ‘Unfortunate’ Beheading Of Samuel Paty Is A Pretext For A Campaign Against […]
France: Archbishop says ‘There are limits to freedom of expression, we do not have the right to insult religions’
By these words, Robert Le Gall is signaling that violent intimidation works, and thereby condemning future generations of Catholics to precarious lives of cowering before their Sharia-enforcing overlords. Oh, that will never happen and could never happen in France, right? Maybe not, but by enabling and encouraging threats meant to enforce Sharia blasphemy laws, Robert […]
Egypt’s Sisi: Freedom of expression stops when it comes to ‘offending the feelings’ of Muslims
A few years ago, al-Sisi, in a speech before Muslim clerics from al-Azhar, said “we are in need of a religious revolution.” Nothing happened, but for years afterward I was asked about this in numerous interviews, as if it heralded genuine reform in Islam. This latest statement from al-Sisi likely won’t extinguish the fond hopes […]
Denmark: Newspaper that originally published Muhammad cartoons won’t republish them, says ‘violence works’
“Violence works.” There it is. For the West, it’s going to be freedom or submission. Either Western societies will say “violence works” and give up their freedoms, or fight to preserve them. Right now, it looks as if surrender is the more likely option that most Western countries will choose. “‘Violence Works’: Danish Newspaper Refuses […]
AP blames France’s ‘brutal colonial past, staunch secular policies and tough-talking president’ for jihad violence
There have been reports that AP deleted its tweet of this article, but the article itself is still available. AP here reflects the common Western assumption that whenever Muslims behave violently, it is the fault of non-Muslims. In an odd manifestation of unconscious ethnocentrism and paternalism, “journalists” such as Angela Charlton assume that Muslims are […]
Canada: Imam says beheaded teacher was ‘filthy excuse for a human being,’ prays ‘O Allah, destroy enemies of Islam’
A prayer to Allah to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists” is not just a request directed to the deity. The Qur’an explicitly says that Allah will punish people by the hands of the believers: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and […]
India: On live TV, Muslim university student leader calls for beheading of those who insult Islam
This is not an “extremist” view. This is Islamic law. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (‘Umdat al-Salik, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad […]
Texas: Islamic scholar rails against France’s ‘Islamophobic campaign against our prophet under guise of free speech’
The notorious Yasir Qadhi, who has called for the murder of homosexuals and blasphemers, raised money for a charity linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and said that Muslims can seize the property of “filthy” non-Muslims in jihad, says: “We are seeing this campaign, this brutal xenophobic, Islamophobic campaign. Against our nebi [prophet] and […]
Canada: Trudeau answers question about Muhammad cartoons by saying ‘freedom of expression is not without limits’
Trudeau said: “We do not have the right for example to shout fire in a movie theatre crowded with people, there are always limits.” Yes. There is no right to incitement to violence or criminal activity. Deliberately causing a panic when there is nothing to panic about, however, is markedly different from doing something entirely […]
Former Prime Minister of Malaysia: ‘Muslims Have a Right to Kill Millions of French People’
My latest in PJ Media: After two knife attacks in France this morning by Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar,” the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, took to Twitter to declare that “Since you have blamed all Muslims and the Muslims’ religion for what was done by one angry person, the Muslims have a right […]
Scotland’s justice secretary: Dinner table conversations ‘stirring up hatred against Muslims’ must be prosecuted
Remember, in light of Humza Yousaf’s words, that Muslim groups and their Leftist allies have for over two decades now insisted repeatedly that any honest analysis of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify jihad violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims is “stirring up hatred.” So he is essentially […]
UK: Councillor threatened with beheading for ‘Islamophobic’ comments about Muslim rape gangs and mosques
A Conservative member of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, Beverly Dunlop, on Facebook “suggested banning mosques and, in another, claimed fundamentalists were ‘hiding in plain sight in the Muslim community.’” And according to Breitbart, “In another post from 2019, she criticised calls for an inquiry into Islamophobia in the Conservative Party by saying: ‘How about […]
Erdogan says West is ‘once again headed to a period of barbarity’: ‘They literally want to relaunch the Crusades’
Erdogan likely knows what an absurd claim this is, but he is apparently calculating that such charges will intimidate Macron and other French authorities to back down from challenging Islamization and Sharia in France, and doing anything significant to stop jihad violence. “Turkey hits at ‘Crusades’ against Islam in cartoons row with France,” by Tuvan […]
UK ‘stands in solidarity with France,’ calls on NATO to defend the freedom of speech
Some welcome and surprise news from the UK. “Britain has called on its NATO allies to stay united in defending the values of tolerance and free speech,” as well as to challenge Turkey. The starting point of challenging Turkey should be to throw Turkey out of NATO. A chorus of Islamic countries has been justifying […]
