In this new video, I discuss the controversy over the UK supermarket chain Tesco putting Muslims in a Christmas ad, and Muslim “reformer” Maajid Nawaz’s claim that opposition to the ad is “racism.”
Reforming Islam
William Henry Quilliam was born on 10th April 1856 to a wealthy family in Liverpool. He was brought up as a Methodist and converted to Islam in 1887 after visiting Morocco. Quilliam opened Britain’s first mosque, on Christmas Day 1889, with funding he received from Nasrullah Khan, Crown Prince of Afghanistan. He changed his name […]
UK: LBC, Muslim “reformer” Maajid Nawaz denounce opposition to hijabbed Muslims in Christmas ad as racist
Says LBC: “The supermarket has responded to an outpouring of racist abuse after featuring a Muslim family in a Christmas advert.” And Muslim “reformer” Maajid Nawaz: “Your real agenda here is you just want a white, nativist, non-Muslim Britain.” Once again: Islam is not a race. There are Muslims of all races. Objecting to Muslims […]
Hypocrisy: Maajid Nawaz suing SPLC for naming him “anti-Muslim extremist”
Muslim reformer Maajid Nawaz is right to sue the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), America’s leading hate group, for defamation. However, he is not opening up his suit to all those similarly defamed by the SPLC, because as he has made clear in the past, he thinks some of the people listed do deserve to […]
Trump switched “Islamist terror” to “Islamic terror” on purpose to defy State Department
I’m now completely certain that Donald Trump defied his own State Department and probably the Department of Defense while giving his speech in Riyadh. Trump switched out the deceptive word “Islamist” and switched in “Islamic” while reading his prepared speech from the teleprompter. Watch that struggle for yourself with the edited “remarks as prepared” on […]
Quilliam’s Julia Ebner says Robert Spencer is Alt-Right: Where’s the evidence?
I don’t know Simon Harris, but this video is well done, and I thank him for it. The article of mine from which Harris reads in this video is here; sometimes it’s a bit difficult to tell whether he is quoting Ebner or me, so you can refer to that for reference. Meanwhile, I have […]
Quilliam Foundation smears Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller as “alt-right leaders”
Julia Ebner is a senior researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, which is supposedly dedicated to countering “extremism” and defending human rights. Quilliam is supposed to be an exponent of moderate Islam, but there are some anomalies. It is named for Abdullah Quilliam (1856-1932), who rather than being “moderate” himself, called for a worldwide caliphate under […]
Sam Harris replies to Robert Spencer, Spencer responds
As Sam Harris notes here, he is responding in this piece to one I wrote about him last week. My further responses are interspersed below. “Reply to Robert Spencer,” by Sam Harris, December 16, 2016: Over at Frontpage Magazine and Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer has published an essay titled “Sam Harris and the Collapse of […]
Sam Harris and the collapse of the counter-jihad Left
A few years ago, atheist writer Sam Harris became one of the very few high-profile figures on the Left to break ranks with the Left’s general denial of the jihad threat and willingness to ignore or even excuse the most inhumane Sharia oppression. His calling Islam “the mother lode of bad ideas” on a famous […]
Muslim reformist Maajid Nawaz declares support for Muslim Brotherhood-linked Congressman Keith Ellison
Representative Keith Ellison (D-MN) formally announced his run for Chair of the Democratic National Committee early this week, and one of his big surprise endorsements came from the well-known British “reformist” Maajid Nawaz, who has at times been refreshingly honest about the jihad threat. Following the Pulse massacre in Orlando, Florida that many tried to […]
