The boy was released. Of course. It isn’t as if he did something serious such as burning a Qur’an. “Seine-et-Marne: a schoolboy threatens his geography-history teacher to ‘cut her like Samuel Paty,’” translated from “Seine-et-Marne : un collégien menace sa prof d’histoire-géo de la ‘découper comme Samuel Paty,’” by Sophie Bordier, Le Figaro, November 13, […]
UK: Law Commission calls for ‘hate crime and hate speech laws’ that would criminalize Muhammad cartoons
“The Law Commission is the statutory independent body created by the Law Commissions Act 1965 to keep the law of England and Wales under review and to recommend reform where it is needed.” The reform it sees as needed now is a surrender to violent intimidation and abandonment of the freedom of expression in favor […]
Egypt: Public prosecutor orders urgent investigation into social media conversation insulting Muhammad
A glimpse into the future of the West. Don’t believe me? Ask Richard Stengel. “Egyptian public prosecutor orders investigation of messages insulting Islam’s Prophet on social media,” Ahram Online, November 11, 2020: Egypt’s Public Prosecutor Hamada El-Sawi ordered an urgent investigation into a text conversation circulated on social media of a person insulting Prophet Muhammad, […]
Biden transition official wants speech restrictions, criminalization of burning of Qur’an
I’m not in favor of the burning of any book, and I believe that people ought to read and understand the Qur’an rather than burn it. However, note that Stengel is calling for legal “guardrails” against “speech that incites hate.” If someone burns a Bible, no one cares. If someone burns a Qur’an, there are […]
Lebanese Christian: Europe has erred in assuming Muslim immigrant communities would adopt European worldview
Habib Malik is correct in this. He is also correct that “Arab Christian support for outraged Muslims, while commendable on one level, stems from an inherited sense of dhimmitude, he said. Under centuries of Muslim rule, the Christian dhimmi accepted second-class status and paid a special tax in order to be a protected community.” This […]
Muslim warns Macron to end his ‘Islamophobia,’ says ‘you are still alive, but just wait until a Muslim reaches you’
The reference to “Islamophobia” is rich. Mian Haseeb Madni is, in the name of Islam and in explicit and avowed accord with its teachings, is offering a $315,000 reward for the murder of Emmanuel Macron. At the same time, he is decrying Macron’s “Islamophobia.” Why, a religion as chummy as this should be loved by […]
Uganda: Muslims murder pastor, say he ‘ought to die for using the Koran and saying Allah is not God but an evil god’
The well-known 64 year-old Ugandan radio preacher and pastor, David Omara, was beaten to death in an ambush by six offended Muslims, thereby proving the point that he was making on his radio broadcast. Yet again, the message is that non-Muslims must beware of openly offending Muslims. The consequences (“sentence”) for doing so do not […]
Russia: Ulema bans Muslim men from marrying non-Muslim women unless children are raised Muslim
Islam has specific laws on marriage: It is forbidden for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim man, but a Muslim man can indeed marry a non-Muslim woman from the “People of the Book” — a Christian or a Jew. Sunni and Shia marital law allows Muslim men (in accord with Qur’an 4:3) to be […]
NYPD ends policy requiring hijab removal for mug shots
Once again the hijab, called a religious right by Muslims no matter what the circumstance, is in the news. This kind of case has been fought out in the courts before: Jihad Watch reported in 2018 that three Muslim women were awarded $60,000 each of taxpayer money for having to remove their hijab for mugshots. […]
Biden promises to convene Internet censorship task force to combat ‘disinformation and hate speech’
No sane person is in favor of the “online harassment, stalking, and abuse that now is a too-frequent reality for Americans, particularly for young people and women.” As this article notes, however, this is a Trojan Horse. Censoring “disinformation” and “hate speech” will in practice mean censoring speech that the elites don’t favor, including explorations […]
Virginia imam: There is ‘freedom of expression to insult the Prophet, but no freedom of expression to insult Macron’
Brazen lies and victimology of the kind Elsayed offers here are generally accepted by Leftists, who are easily duped by those who resort to identity politics, especially stealth jihadists. Elsayed claim that “Many Christians, Jews want to turn Muslims back to being infidels like them” is based on the Qur’an: “And never will the Jews […]
Germany: Muslim YouTuber with 998,000 subscribers leads ‘Macron the dog’ on leash as crowd screams ‘Allahu akbar’
“Do not kill him, he is not the real [Macron]. Just wait, you dog, you lowlife.” What are the chances that Fayez Kanfash and his followers will become loyal, stable, productive members of German society, accepting the non-establishment of religion and the fact that blasphemy against Islam is not criminalized? Original video: “Berlin-Based Syrian YouTuber […]
Al-Azhar Grand Imam: ‘We reject calling terrorism Islamic,’ stop using this term, it hurts the feelings of Muslims
El-Tayyeb is focusing on non-Muslims using the term “Islamic terrorism,” but what about when Muslims speak as if Islam encourages warfare and violence against unbelievers? Among the modern-day Muslims (and some from the recent past) who would disagree with El-Tayyeb’s statement are these: “Jihad was a way of life for the Pious Predecessors (Salaf-us-Salih), and […]
Grand Imam of al-Azhar vows to sue those who insult Islam in international courts
The “Abu Dhabi Declaration” that the Pope and El-Tayyeb signed states: “Freedom is a right of every person: each individual enjoys the freedom of belief, thought, expression and action.” But El-Tayyeb didn’t really mean it. Now, what a surprise! Who saw that coming! In reality, anyone who knows that Islamic law mandates death for blasphemy […]
Nigeria: Kano state Sharia enforcers confiscate and destroy 1,975,000 bottles of beer
Here again we see that the frequently enunciated Islamic critique of the West as a sinkhole of vice and immorality, compared to the purity and uprightness of Sharia states, is not based on genuine virtue, but upon force. The residents of Kano State, or at least some of them — those who were going to […]
France: Poll finds that over half of young Muslims prefer Sharia to Republic’s laws
No worries. Macron will explain to them that somehow they have bought into a “distorted Islam,” and all will be well. “Over Half of Young French Muslims Prefer Sharia to French Republic Laws, Poll Finds,” by Ilya Tsukanov, Sputnik News, November 6, 2020: French President Emmanuel Macron stepped up efforts to combat Islamist ideology in […]
Muslim Death Threats Don’t Violate ‘Any’ of Socialist Media’s ‘Community Standards’
This is the introduction to my new book, Peaceful Death Threats Vol. 2 Facebook just notified me that I’m suspended for thirty days for an unidentified post of mine from last year, but I’m still able to post for whatever reason. But if you’re Muslim and you threaten to rape and murder me on their […]
Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl rescued from her 44-year-old abductor and rapist ‘husband’
Child marriage is part of Islamic tradition and law (Sahih Bukhari book 63, hadith 122), and so is the taking of kaffir women as sex slaves (Quran 4:24, 4:3, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The practice of abduction and forced conversion of non-Muslim girls, followed by forced marriage, is routine in Pakistan. The suffering of non-Muslim girls […]
Islamic scholar: When a Muslim beheaded a man over a cartoon, it was a ‘great honor for him and all Muslims’
Western society has become accustomed to upholding a high standard for Jews and Christians and a low one for Muslims. One would gasp at any Jewish or Christian scholar who said that any act of violence done in the name of either religion was a “great honor.” This soft bigotry of low expectations for Muslims […]
France: Muslims enraged over Borat posters showing him wearing ‘Allah’ ring, buses in Muslim areas remove them
This is a bit of poetic justice for the thoroughly loathsome Sacha Baron Cohen, who has grown rich by victimizing and ridiculing decent people, and who has called for Facebook to censor the speech of those whom he hates. In any case, it reinforces the ever-applicable principle: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior […]
