In FrontPage today I discuss a new attempt to sell more Islam in the schools in the UK — as the solution to “extremism,” of course. How best to fight against the global jihad? The claim is increasingly common in the West that the best way is…more Islam. “This is a golden opportunity,” wrote the […]
UK’s Independent: Muhammad had British values, so fight “extremism” by teaching more Islam in schools
This is just the sort of thing the addled Leftists of the Independent eat up by the truckload. But let’s look into some of the British values that Islamic tradition holds Muhammad as having taught: Women must cover everything but their face and hands: “‘O Asma’, when a woman reaches the age of menstruation, it […]
Canada: Security company apologizes after guard insults Muhammad
“Your Mohammed prophet, I don’t give a damn…I can say whatever I want.” No, you can’t. If he had unleashed a “vulgar rant” against Christ, do you think it would have been a story in the Canadian media? Of course not. But the Muslim cabbies at the Toronto airport got together and began screaming “Allahu […]
The Spectre of Muhammad
Probably everyone remembers the old film series about the undefeated British intelligence agent, James Bond. Sean Connery was perfect in these movies. But I’m not writing about him or about the films, the artistic value of which is debatable. As I started to write this article, I thought the organization “Spectre,” which opposes British intelligence […]
Robert Spencer in PJM: Is free speech about Islam still possible in the US?
At PJ Media today I provide a case study of how the freedom of speech is under threat today: Do we really still have freedom of speech in this country? An absurd question. Right? We still have the First Amendment, we still have the freedom to criticize any belief system and any individual. Don’t we? […]
Strategies of Denial Revisited (Part II)
One of the ways, paradoxically, to deny or minimize the threat of Islam is to focus only on the Qur’an, and then on selective quotation from the handful of verses that appear to reassure, not threaten. There is 2.256 (“no compulsion in religion”) and 5.32 (an injunction against murder) without the considerable modifying of that […]
Pamela Geller, Breitbart: Clear Channel Refuses AFDI Ads Countering ICNA’s Lies with the Truth About Muhammad
As I wrote recently, Muhammad is now the man we all must love — or else. And it is now an established principle in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave: threaten someone with death unless he or she does your bidding, and not only will he or she do your […]
Clear Channel runs ad praising Muhammad, refuses ad criticizing Muhammad
As I wrote recently, Muhammad is now the man we all must love. Clear Channel, as my AFDI colleague Pamela Geller explains here, shows what that means: they readily accepted the Muslim Brotherhood group ICNA’s deceptive ad about Muhammad, but refused our ad critical of Muhammad, and even refused our ad quoting Muhammad from mainstream […]
William Kilpatrick — ‘Needed: A New Church Policy toward Islam, Pt. 2’
In our times and culture, speaking truth is so radical a concept that the following sounds almost revolutionary. As with Part 1, these questions and discussions apply to all Christian communions, and indeed all free peoples: “Church policy should at least be redirected toward telling the truth to fellow Catholics. Right now, Catholics are being […]
William Kilpatrick: ‘How to Alienate Moderate Muslims’
“If the moderate Muslim was inclined to resist the radicals, he will be less likely to do so if he looks around and notices that no one else is resisting… Why should he stick his neck out?” William Kilpatrick makes a compelling case for resisting encroaching Islamization and the creeping advance of sharia culture in […]
