Erdogan addressed a Muslim American Society audience on video, and reiterated his pledge to work towards a unified Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital and Israel confined to its pre-1967 borders. The ’67 borders are also known as the Auschwitz borders, because Israel will not be able to defend itself from obliteration should […]
Norway: After murder of French teacher over Muhammad cartoons, teachers fear showing them in classes on free speech
Terrorism works. That’s why we keep seeing so much of it. If anyone ever had the guts to stand up and resist these thugs, terrorism would begin to recede. Otherwise, no. (Video thanks to David.)
Egypt: Muslim mob sets church on fire, attacks Christian homes and shops with stones and Molotov cocktails
Will the Islamophobia never end? The mob in this case is enraged over a Christian’s alleged “blasphemy” on Facebook. Authorities do nothing to stop the mob because all too often they are more sympathetic to the rioters than to their victims. An update on this story. “Egypt: Hundreds of Muslim villagers attack Christians after alleged […]
Egyptian Facebook influencer writes poem praising the Muslim who beheaded French teacher over cartoon
Bless your hand, O Chechen You’ve refreshed me, helped me to forget my sorrows They thought you are cold like Turbans [this refers to sheikhs] Who have high positions with tyrants You slaughtered them with your unbinding belief And you have slaughtered this culprit with Takbeer [Allah Akbar] When you meed Ahmed [another name for […]
Egypt: Christian arrested for ‘insulting Islam’ on Facebook
A glimpse into the future of the West. This is where the Left’s “hate speech” rhetoric is tending. We are very close to this now, far closer than most people realize, as critics of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women and others are now routinely excoriated, vilified, demonized, deplatformed, and shunned by all decent […]
Google, Facebook and Twitter threaten to leave Pakistan over crackdown on speech offensive to Islam
The Asia Internet Coalition — which includes Google, Facebook and Twitter — is threatening to pull out of Pakistan because of new rules that would have a significant impact upon the freedom of expression. How bitterly ironic. The global tech giants, long established as enemies of the freedom of expression, are now facing the same […]
Turkey: Will the Abuses against Historic Churches Ever End?
“Turkey has again confused faith tourism and religious freedom in the announcement that the Imera Monastery has been partially restored,” reported International Christian Concern (ICC) on November 19. “It is acknowledged that the Imera Monastery is an important Christian site in the eastern Black Sea region, but the fact that Christians in this area suffered […]
Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Human Rights: ‘Macron is doing to Muslims what the Nazis did to the Jews’
Throwing them in camps? Murdering them by the millions? Nope. Just emphasizing the importance of the freedom of expression and the inappropriateness of beheading someone for offending you. But Shireen Mazari’s game, in retailing this outrageous slander, is to enflame young Pakistanis to commit acts of violence against French people and installations, and thereby compel […]
Fifteen Senators (Including Fauxcahontas and Bernie) Want Facebook to Ban ‘Anti-Muslim Hate’
My latest in PJ Media: Democrats who want to browbeat (or worse) Trump supporters in Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and silence all dissent from the hard-Left’s agenda know better than to come before America and say, “We want to destroy the First Amendment and stifle the freedom of expression that is the indispensable foundation of […]
France: Teacher reports that a third of her students say ‘It is not normal to criticize Islam’
What do you think France will be like when these students grow up? “TESTIMONY. After Samuel Paty’s assassination, ‘a third of my students are contesting the curriculum,’” translated from “TÉMOIGNAGE. Après l’assassinat de Samuel Paty, ‘un tiers de mes élèves conteste les programmes,’” by Arnaud Bélier, Ouest-France, November 16, 2020 (thanks to Mason): A month […]
Pakistan: Five Muslims gang-rape and torture deaf-mute Christian girl for 2 months as police do nothing
If the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be, you’d be hearing about this from every establishment media outlet in the world. As it is, however, you’ll hear about it from not a single one of them. “Deaf-mute Christian girl subjected to 5-man gang-rape and torture for 2 months, due […]
Sweden: Discrimination Ombudsman rules that municipality’s ban on hijab, burqa, and niqab is illegal
Sweden Democrat Lars Nyström is correct: “If you accept that women have to cover their faces, what are you going to accept tomorrow? Do you also intend to accept polygamy, child marriage et cetera?” But as everyone knows, it’s racist for European and North American countries to try to preserve their own heritage, culture, and […]
Egypt: Grand Sheikh of al-Azhar refutes claim that Islam allows Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men
The issue of interfaith marriage has arisen again this week among several Islamic leaders, reflecting a tug of war inside Islam and renewed efforts to keep Sharia provisions rigidly in place. Supremacism and expansionism are central to Islam, while mass Muslim migration, globalism and the Internet have had impact not only upon Western countries, but […]
Turkey seeks extradition from Russia of man who desecrated Qur’an
The Turks are irked, but the Russians should tell them that Russia is not a Sharia state and does not adhere to Sharia blasphemy laws, and that therefore Ibrahim Atabi will not be extradited. Will the Russians do this? Or allow realpolitik to guide their considerations? “Turkey Seeks Extradition of Man Who Desecrated Quran,” International […]
Video: Guest on US-funded Alhurra denigrates Christians
This was broadcast last week on the US-based channel Alhurra, which broadcasts in Arabic to the MENA region. Alhurra is owned by Middle East Broadcasting Networks, a non-profit organization financed by the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a federal agency funded by the U.S. Congress. Alhurra broadcasts in Arabic, but it seems there is […]
15 Senators, including Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, urge Facebook to block ‘anti-Muslim hate’
Incitement to violence against any group should always be blocked. The problem here is that Islamic advocacy groups and their allies in the West have for years claimed that any honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence was “anti-Muslim hate.” Facebook already makes such discussion virtually impossible to find. Expect it to be […]
Sharia France: Danish activist arrested and deported for trying to burn Qur’an
Rasmus Paludan, the French publication Marianne, tells us, is “far-right,” which means that Marianne wants its readers to despise Rasmus Paludan. But in its essentials, he was going to do nothing different from what Samuel Paty did, and Samuel Paty is now celebrated in France as a hero and martyr for the freedom of speech. […]
Biden Transition Official Believes the First Amendment Has a ‘Design Flaw’ — His Remedy Is to Curb Free Speech
My latest in PJ Media: Richard Stengel, according to the New York Post, “is the Biden transition ‘Team Lead’ for the US Agency for Global Media, the U.S. government media empire that includes Voice of America, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.” He is also a menace to our constitutional protections […]
Iran’s Rouhani: ‘To insult a prophet is nothing more than an encouragement to violence and an immoral act’
Here is yet another manifestation of the all-out attempt to deflect the blame for jihad violence over Muhammad cartoons onto those who defend the freedom of expression. The simple reality is that the only people responsible for acts of violence are those who commit them. Muslims who murder over cartoons are not required or forced […]
Germany: Cops investigating false bomb threat against mosque have dog wear paw covers to avoid offending Muslims
German authorities are ever solicitous of their growing and restive Muslim population, and so they’re ready to act upon the otherwise univerally denied fact that Islam hates dogs: “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do not enter a house […]
