Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hypocrisy: Saudi Arabia, the country that won’t allow churches or synagogues, calls for boycott of Switzerland over minaret ban

Dec 10, 2009 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

That is, it is hypocrisy from a Western point of view. As far as the Saudis are concerned, Islam is the truth, its truth is self-evident, and therefore the Swiss are obligated to accommodate it in a way that the Saudis are not obligated to accommodate non-Muslim religious observance. “Saudi Arabia calls to boycott Swiss […]

Poll: 75% of Londoners support ban on minarets

Dec 7, 2009 4:30 am By Robert Spencer

It’s just a symbolic gesture. Mosques can function perfectly well without minarets. In fact, Saudi Wahhabi mosques don’t have minarets, because they’re considered bid’a, innovation. But the widespread support for a minaret ban represents the frustration of the common people with the elites’ indifference toward and/or complicity with Islamization and the advance of Sharia. “75% […]

Scholars from a country that doesn’t allow churches or synagogues slam Swiss minaret ban

Dec 6, 2009 3:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Hypocrisy. That is, it is hypocrisy from a Western point of view. As far as these “scholars” are concerned, Islam is the truth, its truth is self-evident, and therefore the Swiss are obligated to accommodate it in a way that the Saudis are not obligated to accommodate non-Muslim religious observance. “Saudi scholars slam Swiss minaret […]

Pakistani Christians: Will Saudis allow construction of cathedrals to challenge Swiss ban on minarets?

Nov 30, 2009 6:58 pm By Robert Spencer

While the world waxes indignant over the Swiss minaret ban, it is useful to put things into perspective. In Egypt, Christians are persecuted. In Pakistan, construction of new churches is severely restricted. In Saudi Arabia, it isn’t allowed at all. So why is a ban on minarets — not on mosques — so much more […]

Eurodhimmis unite against Swiss minaret ban

Nov 30, 2009 12:54 pm By Robert Spencer

“Vengeance, boycotts, retaliation … this clash with Islam could cost dearly.” Don’t resist Islamic supremacism! It might make the Islamic supremacists angry! More on Times Online, November 30 (thanks to Kris): The Swiss and European establishment united today in deploring yesterday’s decision by Swiss voters to outlaw the construction of minarets but conservative leaders warned […]

Egypt’s “moderate” mufti says Swiss minaret ban insults Muslims

Nov 29, 2009 6:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Ali Gomaa is the wife-beatin’, Muhammad’s-urine-drinkin’ Mufti of Egypt, who some time ago denied reports that he had rejected the traditional Islamic death sentence for apostates. The delirious

Swiss apparently vote to ban minarets

Nov 29, 2009 5:00 am By Robert Spencer

Because they symbolize a “political-religious claim to power” — which, of course, they do. “Exit polls show Swiss will accept minaret ban: TV,” from AFP, November 29 (thanks to Inexion): GENEVA — Exit polls show that Switzerland will accept a far-right call for a blanket ban on the construction of minarets, Swiss public television reported […]
