Here’s an idea for an October Surprise that could transform the political landscape. It has nothing to do with the announcement of a coronavirus vaccine. Nor with Black Lives Matter. Nor with defunding the police. Nor with once-in-a-century wildfires and hurricanes that, in their intensity, happened to be just like those wildfires and hurricanes we’ve […]
Trump: “The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter”
….The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2019 Does Trump himself believe this? Does he actually […]
Saudi King calls for “combating hate speech and terrorism that is not condoned by religions”
Apparently terrorism that is condoned by religions is fine with him, as in “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). And by “hate speech” he likely means honest discussion of how Islamic jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence. “King Salman in tweet calls for combating hate speech, terrorism,” […]
Saudis hold “International Conference on Islamic unity” and “perils of exclusion” in city where non-Muslims banned
Rejecting hatred, extremism, “all forms of discrimination,” exclusion and division is good, right? Not when such words are manipulated by stealth jihadists, far-Leftists and hate-filled Black Lives Matter revolutionaries. And an even starker reminder of this nefarious manipulation has now occurred in Saudi Arabia. This international group of Islamic leaders isn’t assembling to figure out […]
Saudi Arabia to monitor use of Muhammad’s sayings in order to counter jihad terrorism
This is an admission that Muhammad’s sayings can lead to terrorism. And that has been obvious all along. After all, the man is depicted in the hadith as saying: “I have been made victorious through terror” (Bukhari 4.52.220) “Saudi Arabia to vet use of Prophet’s sayings to counter extremism,” Reuters, October 18, 2017: RIYADH (Reuters) […]
Moderate Islam breaks out in Saudi Arabia: King allows women to drive
See? What was that you were saying about Islam and women’s rights, you greasy Islamophobe? Now Islam has shown its true, moderate colors, right? Wrong. Saudi women still can’t leave home without permission from a male guardian. They still are subject to being beaten for their perceived disobedience, with no recourse. They can be divorced […]
Trump views exhibit on religious tolerance in Saudi Arabia, which allows only Islam
What a comic opera absurdity. Did President Trump ask King Salman where the churches and synagogues and Hindu temples were in Saudi Arabia? Did he ask the sinister little king how his exhibition of tolerance and coexistence among different faiths squared with the Saudi Grand Mufti’s calling for the demolition of churches? Did he ask […]
U.S., Saudis to bolster support for “moderate Syrian opposition”
This moderate Syrian opposition is made up of Islamic jihadists. Former Defense Intelligence Agency director Michael Flynn recently confirmed that the Obama Administration knowingly decided to support al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, and directly enabled the rise of the Islamic State. The rebels are not by any stretch of the imagination “moderates”: they’re […]
Saudis restore envoy to Sweden after Swedes apologize for insulting Islam
Sharia blasphemy laws continue their move West. No one in the West cares about the erosion of the freedom of speech. Before too long, no one will even remember what it was. “Saudi Arabia restores ambassador to Sweden following diplomatic dispute,” i24 News, March 28, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Sweden […]
Saudi King: Killing of pilot a “heinous crime which contradicts the tolerance of our noble religion”
No one who is saying this today, and there are many, explains passages such as this story from Muhammad’s conquest of Khaybar: “Kinana b. al-Rabi`, who had the custody of the treasure of B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew […]
