The Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) launched a new website last month, boasting in its daily mailing that the site was meant to marginalize foes of jihad terror: “This means that when someone who may think an Islamophobe is a legitimate speaker and searches for the person on the Internet, they […]
Two Americans charged with supporting the Islamic State
We see Muslims from the U.S. and all over the West joining the Islamic State. This is because of the appeal of the idea of the caliphate — but Washington analysts are not allowed, as a matter of Obama Administration policy, to examine such matters too closely, for that could lead to “Islamophobia.” “Two Americans […]
Victory: Federal judge in AFDI ad case says “expert” can’t testify that “Islamic Jew-hatred” is false
This would not have been the first time that the U.S. government accepted comforting falsehoods over the truth, but in this case the truth prevailed, thanks to the ace AFLC lawyers David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise. HELP US KEEP SPREADING THE TRUTH WITH THESE ADS: CONTRIBUTE HERE. “Federal Judge: “Expert” Cannot Testify that ‘Islamic Jew-Hatred’ […]
Iran: Death sentence upheld for man who insulted Muhammad on Facebook
This kind of assault on the freedom of speech would never happen in the free West. If Soheil Arabi insulted Muhammad in the United States, he would just be rebuked for his “bigotry” and “intolerance,” and held up as an example of how racism is still pandemic in American society. There would be head-shaking articles […]
Spain: Ex-Muslim to be deported to Muslim country for criticizing Islam
He will, of course, be killed as soon as he arrives in a Muslim country. But Spanish officials seem so desperate to appease their increasingly aggressive Muslim population by enforcing Sharia blasphemy restrictions upon the freedom of speech that they are willing to sacrifice Imran Firasat’s life. “Firasat also pointed to the irony of his […]
Muslims scream “Allahu akbar” from mosques as Islamic State blows up church
But…but…surely the peaceful, tolerant moderates — vetted or no — remonstrated with those who were screaming “Allahu akbar” and reminded them that the Qur’an teaches peace and respect for the People of the Book, didn’t they? Didn’t they? Anyway, Bishop Kevin would say something about this, but the “Muslim-Christian dialogue” meeting is tonight, and Imam […]
Bangladesh pol arrested for offending Muslims, Muslim group demands his death
If he lived in the West, Abdul Latif Siddique wouldn’t have been arrested. He would just have been excoriated as a racist, bigoted Islamophobe, and shunned by the political and media elites. We are, in other words, significantly more open to the freedom of speech and freedom of inquiry than is Bangladesh. “Bangladesh Politician Detained […]
UK jihadi: “What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State”
“There is a war taking place around the world, there is a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man.” No. There is a war taking place around the world, but it is actually a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to men who claim […]
Islamic State developing “colonies,” gaining credibility among jihadists
For the caliphate, now as throughout history, might makes right. The longer the Islamic State lasts, the more loyalty it will win among Muslims. We have already seen Muslims from the West traveling in record numbers to join it in Iraq and Syria. That will continue and increase, as long as the Islamic State continues […]
Pakistan: Bollywood actress Veena Malik gets 26 years for blasphemy
“In the episode, Veena was seen dancing with her husband while a group of Sufi musicians sang a devotional song about the wedding of the Prophet’s daughter.” That was it. Twenty-six years in prison for that, apparently because she was dancing while a devotional song was being sung. Nonetheless, “she says her faith in the […]
Obama’s fantasies about un-Islamic jihad — on The Glazov Gang
On this week’s Glazov Gang, Our Hero was joined by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, who writes the indispensable blog, “The Point,” on Frontpagemag.com. Daniel came on the show to discuss Obama’s sympathy for “Abdul-Rahman Kassig,” analyzing how the president exploited the murder of an American in order […]
Hamas-linked terror org CAIR to Muslims: Lady Liberty says “Shhhh!”
In other words, Don’t talk to American authorities. This photo comes from Hamas-linked CAIR-Florida’s “14th Annual Banquet Rooted in Faith” in Tampa last weekend, courtesy of an anonymous reader who was at the banquet. It is not the first time Hamas-linked CAIR, designated a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates, has discouraged Muslims from […]
UK: London police afraid to patrol alone because of jihad threat
Another symptom of Britain’s steep and precipitous decline into the chaos that is almost certain to come due to the feckless appeasement policies that British authorities relentlessly pursue. “Frontline police say ‘let us patrol in pairs’ due to rising risk of street attack by jihadis,” by Martin Beckford, Daily Mail, November 22, 2014 (thanks to […]
Islamic supremacist groups connect their jihad to Ferguson riots
In this photo (thanks to Kay), Leftist demonstrators relate the strife in Ferguson to the “Palestinian” jihad. And Pamela Geller has a great deal of information on how Islamic jihadists and supremacists, including the Hamas-linked terror organization CAIR, have tried to co-opt the Ferguson riots as part of their own jihad. Most noteworthy is the […]
Iran: ‘Americans have very clearly surrendered’
What can be said? They are right. “Iran: ‘Americans Have Very Clearly Surrendered,’” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 25, 2014: VIENNA—Top Iranian leaders have been celebrating a recently inked extension in nuclear negotiations with the West, with leading military figures and politicians saying that the deal is a sign that the “Americans have […]
Islamic State has “sleeper cells over here…preparing to unleash their war in Europe”
Meanwhile, European governments are busy stamping out all manifestations of what they deem to be “Islamophobia,” including any honest discussion of how jihadis use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism. The Islamic State sleeper cell members will surely see their good will and cease their jihad activities. “‘ISIS have sleeper cells in […]
UK can watch fewer than 50 jihad terror suspects 24/7
And the jihad murderers of Lee Rigby were known to security services, but not deemed a threat. You can’t blame those security services — they have been taught that jihad is an internal spiritual struggle, so when the future murderers of Rigby started talking jihad, they probably thought, “Oh, how nice.” Maybe if the Cameron […]
Bulgaria: Mosque raided in jihad incitement probe
A mosque? What’s that? A mosque full of misunderstanders of Islam who somehow got the crazy idea that the Islamic State had something to do with Islam? Has John Kerry or David Cameron heard about this? “Bulgarian mosque raided in jihad incitement probe,” AFP, November 25, 2014: Bulgarian authorities raided a mosque in the south […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Hagel takes the fall
In FrontPage today I speculate on why Obama fired Hagel: Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that […]
Pakistan: Christian sentenced to death for blasphemy files last-ditch appeal
In a sane society, Asia Bibi’s story would be front-page news, with Presidents, Prime Ministers and Popes appealing for her release, the United Nations condemning Pakistan, and all foreign aid halted until she was released and blasphemy laws repealed. Instead, the world “human rights community” looks the other way and devotes its energies to hunting […]
