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 […]
Muslim cleric calls on Pakistan to nuke France over cartoons: ‘Declare a jihad. Let everyone die.’
Western societies are going to have to choose: fight for freedom or submit to Sharia (or at very least to a Leftist authoritarianism that is favorable to Sharia). Ultimately, there will be no third option. “Pakistani Politician and Islamic Scholar Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi Calls on Pakistani Government to Use the Atom Bomb, in the […]
The French Ambassador to Sweden is Wrong: France is Not a Muslim Country
🇫🇷🇸🇪L’ambassadeur de France en Suède: “La France est un pays musulman” Selon lui nous avons un héritage/des racines musulmanes. Le plus drôle c’est quand il affirme que ce qui importe c’est d’écouter les musulmans🇫🇷mais est incapable de répondre à la question “Et que disent-ils?” pic.twitter.com/A2ry3FHDHW — Patrick Edery (@patrick_edery) October 26, 2020 Another telling story […]
Iranian MPs: ‘French statesmen should openly repent and appease and apologize to Muslim nations in the world’
These MPs want to reinforce the principle that so many people in the West have taken for granted up to now: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. The French government, by not backing down and condemning the Muhammad […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Iran: Rouhani warns of ‘bloodshed’ over Muhammad cartoons, says ‘every single European is in debt to the Prophet’
Woe be onto whomever does not believe that “every single European is in debt to the Prophet.” You will be charged with “racism” and “Islamophobia.” And even more woe be unto anyone who insults Muhammad or even criticizes Islam. Islamic supremacists including Rouhani and many others are working hard now to ensure that even on […]
Muslims Around the World Want to Punish France; Where is the West’s Solidarity with the French?
The murder of a French middle-school teacher by a Muslim fanatic would, one would have thought, led to an expression of horror worldwide, and a demand not only in France but by non-Muslims everywhere that the Muslim political leaders and clerics denounce that murder in no uncertain terms. Alas, that is not what has happened. […]
UN Alliance of Civilizations condemns Muhammad cartoons: they ‘provoked acts of violence against innocent civilians’
The deepest concern of the UN should be the threats from some Muslims because of the supposedly offensive cartoons. The UN long ago abandoned interest in the rights of free societies. Instead, it has increasingly collaborated with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in promoting Islamic interests, including the “Islamophobia” canard. Over a decade ago, after […]
Grand Imam of al-Azhar calls for international legislation criminalizing ‘acts of hate’ against Muslims
Europe, the U.S., and the world at large are eventually going to have to choose: freedom of speech, or submission to Sharia blasphemy laws? Which one they will choose is in doubt at the moment. Submission was galloping forward until Samuel Paty was beheaded. That seems to have galvanized the French government into acting to […]
Kremlin on jihad attacks in France: It’s wrong to kill, but wrong also to insult feelings of religious believers
This is essentially a call to surrender and accept Sharia blasphemy laws, so as to avoid insulting the feelings of religious believers, and thereby remove the need for more killing. It is a bow to violent intimidation, which will only encourage more violent intimidation. “Kremlin, after French attacks, says wrong to kill but wrong to […]
Belgium: Police take down Muhammad cartoon posters, check CCTV cameras to find those responsible
“The police denied they were infringing the right to freedom of expression….’The caricatures themselves are absolutely not punishable, but the infringement here is illegal posting,’ the police spokesperson said.” Yeah, sure, that’s it. Meanwhile, it would be interesting to see how Brussels police would react if posters attacking Trump (who is widely hated all over […]
France: Finance minister accuses mayors of giving in to ‘political Islam’ with women-only hours at pools
Bruno Le Maire stated: “There is terrorism, yes — the crime that must be judged and condemned….And there is the ideology that is at the root of terrorism and which is more insidious — political Islam, which has had its accomplices for years in France.’” And that is precisely the same ideology that declares women […]
