With an Ahmadi Muslim apologist, Qasim Rashid, running for the Virginia State Senate and charging his opponent with “Islamophobia,” it’s worthwhile to give this sect a closer look. The Ahmadi Muslims are a curious sect. They make up only 1% of the world’s Muslims — if indeed we accept that they are Muslims at all. […]
Virginia: Muslim State Senate Candidate Cries ‘Islamophobia’ When He’s Quoted
My latest in PJ Media: Qasim Rashid, an Ahmadi Muslim who is running as a Democrat for the Virginia State Senate, is enraged at the dirty tricks of his opponent, Richard Stuart. “My Republican opponent,” fumed Rashid in a video last week, “is launching anti-Muslim, Islamophobic attacks against me questioning my loyalty to the United […]
Whitewashing Islam: Qasim Rashid on Women in the Quran
The Independent recently published an article entitled, “How the Teachings of Islam Could Help Us Prevent More Sexual Abuse Scandals,” by Qasim Rashid (an apologist for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community). Rashid argues that the Qur’an and the teachings of Muhammad would be a tremendous benefit to women in the West. In a previous video, I […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Can Islam Help Us Prevent More Sexual Abuse Scandals?
Or has The Independent completely departed from reality? My latest in FrontPage: The UK’s Independent, hitherto generally regarded as not run by insane people, on Sunday ran a piece entitled: “How the teachings of Islam could help us prevent more sexual abuse scandals.” Now on the question of the Independent’s sanity, the jury is decidedly […]
David Wood video: How Islam can prevent sexual abuse scandals (thanks, Qasim Rashid!)
The superlatively brilliant David Wood takes apart the jaw-droppingly dishonest article by Islamic apologist Qasim Rashid, ““How the teachings of Islam could help us prevent more sexual abuse scandals.” Wood says: “You have to hand it to Qasim. Whatever he lacks in honesty and integrity, he more than makes up for in arrogance and stupidity.” […]
Muslim spokesman Qasim Rashid claims Islam can “help us prevent more sexual abuse scandals”
Ahmadi spokesman Qasim Rashid is a professional liar, a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy. He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Qasim Rashid and Harris Zafar, Or, Why Bother?
A recent letter to the editor of The Oregonian — just one of many similar letters being sent out by energetic Ahmadis — makes the predictable claims, denies any justification for terrorism in the “Holy Qur’an,” calls “true Islam” a “religion of peace,” and suggests that the best way to prevent “so-called” Muslims from terrorism […]
Muslim spokesman blames Christianity for Islamic blasphemy laws
It is characteristic of Islamic supremacists to blame the Christian, the Jew, colonialism, imperialism and/or the West for any Muslim failure, misdeed and misfortune. Qasim Rashid, in his column below, claims that his tiny Ahmadi sect supports the freedom of speech, but he blames Christianity for Islamic blasphemy laws, while exonerating Islam from any responsibility for […]
Damage control: After Robert Spencer speech, U at Buffalo hosts TWO lying Muslim spokesmen
This is extraordinary. Since Left-fascists screamed at me for an hour and a half, I barely got a word in at the University at Buffalo, but university officials and the local Muslim Brotherhood MSA chapter are apparently so shaken nonetheless by my appearance that they have featured not one, but two events featuring lying Islamic […]
Muslim spokesman Qasim Rashid: Noticing Fresno shooter’s screams of “Allahu akbar” is Islamophobic
Ahmadi spokesman Qasim Rashid is a professional liar. He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about the Qur’an’s sanction of beating disobedient women; lied about the […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The Qur’an Test in Dhaka
The final exam is a killer. My latest in FrontPage: As Ramadan draws to a merciful close, we have in Bangladesh yet another Islamic jihad massacre, followed by the now drearily familiar attempts to obscure the Islamic character of the massacre, and to keep the public ignorant and complacent regarding the nature and magnitude of […]
Time Mag: Jihadists don’t understand the Qur’an
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid is, as Pamela Geller calls him, “a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy.” He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied […]
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid slanders Ben Carson, lies about Islam
Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid is, as Pamela Geller calls him, “a one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy.” He has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied […]
Ahmadi Muslim leader claims Ben Carson’s words “intolerant and wrong,” dissembles about political aspects of Sharia
Still more deceptions and half-truths from the smug and disingenuous Islamic supremacist Qasim Rashid. My remarks are interspersed below. “Make No Mistake, Ben Carson’s Comments About A Muslim President Were Intolerant, And Wrong,” by Qasim Rashid, Daily Caller, September 21, 2015: “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation […]
Muslim leader says Muhammad protected rights of Christians, ignores his persecution of them
The overweeningly arrogant and narcissistic Ahmadiyya Muslim apologist Qasim Rashid labors assiduously to proselytize for his tiny sect, which most Muslims deem heretical and outside the pale of Islamic orthodoxy, and mainstream media outlets routinely give him a platform to do so — a platform they would never give to Christian or Jewish or Hindu […]
Pamela Geller, Breitbart: What Qasim Rashid Doesn’t Want You to Know About Islam
Pamela Geller here calls Qasim Rashid a “one-man cottage industry of deception and hypocrisy,” and she’s right: previously Rashid has whitewashed Muhammad’s support for torture and the reality of jihad violence and Sharia oppression; dissembled about the Qur’an’s sanction of deception of unbelievers; lied about the presence of violent passages in the Qur’an; lied about […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: An Open Letter to Qasim Rashid to Public Dialogue and Debate
In FrontPage, exposing a double-talking deceiver: I read with disappointment Qasim Rashid’s recent piece in the Huffington Post. While professing to promote peace and understanding, Rashid denies the manifest facts that the Sharia penalty for apostasy is death and that Muhammad called for warfare against and subjugation of Jews and Christians. Far from peace, with […]
Daily Caller: “The U.S. Constitution is in fact the most Shariah compliant constitution on Earth”
Once again the Daily Caller gives space to the relentlessly dishonest and viciously arrogant Ahmadi Muslim apologist Qasim Rashid to proselytize for Islam and spread disinformation about the aspects of Islam about which non-Muslims should be aware and concerned. Rashid has long and ever-growing record of spreading falsehoods and inaccuracies about Islam. Previously he has […]
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
A wolf in sheep’s clothing by Ali Rizvi If an ideology is peaceful, then its most literalist or fundamentalist adherents too would be peaceful. In the case of Islam, let alone Al Qaeda or ISIS, what the governments of Iran or Saudi Arabia do is plain for all to see. In Saudi Arabia they publicly […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Did Muhammad approve of torture?
In FrontPage today I discuss yet another dishonest attempt to portray Muhammad as a man of peace — an attempt that appears especially cynical and dishonest in light of the Sydney and Peshawar jihad attacks: Did Muhammad approve of torture? For Ahmadi Muslim leader Qasim Rashid, the answer is “no” – a “no” so unequivocal […]
