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, […]
France: Muslim students cheer burning of French flags in response to Muhammad cartoons
What will France be like when these students grow up? The answer is not difficult or elusive in the slightest degree. But no one wants to face it. “Freedom of expression at school: ‘For my students, Charlie Hebdo is the extreme right,’” translated from “Liberté d’expression à l’école : ‘Pour mes élèves, Charlie Hebdo, c’est […]
Editor of UK Muslim news site 5Pillars: ‘#CharlieHebdo must be shut down immediately by French authorities’
#CharlieHebdo must be shut down immediately by French authorities. This racist, Islamophobic rag is causing community relations to completely break down with its repeated provocations. They are literally crying fire in a crowded theatre. Freedom of speech isn't worth civil war. — Roshan M Salih (@RmSalih) October 17, 2020 A Muslim commits a brutal murder […]
Father of Muslim who stabbed two outside Charlie Hebdo office is ‘proud’ of son, who is ‘hero across all Pakistan’
Why is Zaheer Mahmoud being celebrated as a hero? We are constantly told that Muslims who support violence in the name of Islam are a tiny minority of extremists who have twisted and hijacked the religion’s teachings of peace and tolerance. So why aren’t Muslim organizations in Pakistan and all over the world condemning Zaheer […]
UK: Labour MP claims that the freedom of speech doesn’t include ‘freedom to generally offend’
The UK’s far-left Labour Party has long partnered with Islamic supremacist groups who have been working to advance the Islamization of the UK. Its former leader Jeremy Corbyn was a virulent anti-Semite who befriended some of the worst global jihadists, apparently approving of their desire to obliterate Israel. Now the Labour Party is doing the […]
Pakistan: Father of Muslim who went on stabbing spree in Paris over Muhammad cartoons says he’s ‘happy’ with son
This is no surprise. Nor are father and son “extremists.” 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 […]
France: Muslim migrant who stabbed two in attempt to target Charlie Hebdo entered country as unaccompanied minor
When no effort whatsoever is made to ensure that new residents of France accept French values, this is the sort of thing that will inevitably happen. “Paris Attacker Says He Was Targeting ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Magazine,” VOA News, September 27, 2020: French officials say a man who is suspected of stabbing two people Friday in Paris […]
France: Interior minister says stabbings outside former Charlie Hebdo offices were ‘act of Islamist terrorism’
“There is no question of ceding anything,” says Charlie Hebdo. Sorry, Charlie, but wake up to what is going on around you. This ground has already largely been ceded. In Sweden, police are hunting down people who burn the Qur’an. All over the West, it is increasingly taken for granted that if jihadis threaten to […]
France: At least four injured in knife attack near former office that was site of Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
Al-Qaeda recently threatened Charlie Hebdo with a new jihad massacre. Is that threat related to this attack? Will we ever know for sure, or will this attack, like so many others, be dismissed as “mental illness” without due consideration of other possibilities? “Paris stabbing: Multiple people injured in attack near Charlie Hebdo offices,” by Rachel […]
France: Head of human resources at Charlie Hebdo flees home after ‘precise and detailed’ death threats
The magazine released a statement explaining its motives for republishing the cartoons of Muhammad. At one point, it asked the valid question: Do we want to live in a country that prides itself on being a great free and modern democracy, and which, at the same time, gives up on asserting its deepest convictions? For […]
Catholic jurist slams Charlie Hebdo for reprinting Muhammad cartoons, warns of ‘dangerous or negative’ consequences
No one seems to consider the primary risk of bowing to death threats and violent intimidation: it only encourages more. Does Giuseppe Dalla Torre want Catholics of future generations to live on their knees, bowing to every threat? Apparently so. “Jurist Parrots Pope: ‘Don’t Mock Muhammad,’” by Jules Gomes, ChurchMilitant.com, September 14, 2020: ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) […]
Al-Qaeda threatens Charlie Hebdo with ‘2015 like massacre’ over republication of Muhammad cartoons
This is the showdown for the West. Will free societies bow to violent threats and willingly give up the freedom of speech? Or will they defend that freedom? The more we bow to violent intimidation, the more violent intimidation we will get. “Islamic terror group Al-Qaeda threatens Charlie Hebdo with a ‘2015 like massacre’ for […]
Charlie Hebdo chief: ‘What I regret is to see how little people fight to defend freedom’
‘What I regret is to see how little people fight to defend freedom. If we don’t fight for our freedom, we live like a slave and we promote a deadly ideology.’ Absolutely. But Laurent Sourisseau is one of the only people who will dare to say such a thing in the mainstream public discourse today. […]
Charlie Hebdo Reprints Muhammad Cartoons, Pakistan Goes Crazy
Charlie Hebdo, yet again, is heroically standing up for free speech. The French satirical weekly’s cartoonists – surely among the bravest people in the world – have chosen to reprint the cartoons of Muhammad that led to the murder of ten of their predecessors on January 7, 2015, by the Muslim Kouachi brothers, petty criminals […]
Khamenei: Republication of Muhammad cartoons ‘unforgiveable sin,’ shows ‘enmity’ of ‘Western world toward Islam’
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has condemned the republication of Muhammad cartoons by the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, “saying the move once again exposed the enmity of the political, cultural centers of the Western world toward Islam. The unforgivable sin of a French magazine in insulting the Holy Prophet once against exposed the enmity and the […]
Pakistan: Tens of thousands of Muslims protest over Muhammad cartoons, call for beheading of ‘blasphemers’
When did we see tens of thousands of Muslims protesting against the murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists? When did we see tens of thousands of Muslims protesting against the “hijacking” of their faith by jihad terrorists? That’s right, we have never seen such protests. They have never taken place. Many Muslim groups have denounced […]
Instagram blocks accounts of two Charlie Hebdo journalists for depicting Muhammad
“These accounts were deleted by mistake. We reinstated them as soon as we became aware of them, and we apologised,” says Mélanie Agazzome, Instagram’s communications director for France and southern Europe. Sure. All right. But have you ever noticed that these “mistakes” always go in one direction, toward the silencing of dissenting voices, and toward, […]

France: Macron defends ‘right to blaspheme,’ vows to crack down on ‘Islamic separatism’
Macron is entirely correct. Too many countries have grown accustomed to being delicate with Islamic sensibilities and have allowed Islamic special interest groups to terrorize their societies by defaming and demonizing critics of Islam and those who offend the religion, and even moving toward criminalizing such criticism. Canada’s “anti-Islamophobia” Motion M-103 is a shameful example […]
France: 26% of Muslims in France under age 25 refuse to condemn Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
What will French society be like in ten years? 20? “France: One in Four Young Muslims Refuse to Condemn Charlie Hebdo Terror Killings,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 3, 2020: A survey released by the Institut Français d’Opinion Publique (Ifop) has revealed that 26 per cent of French Muslims under the age of 25 refuse to […]
