The Islam (and cannibalism!) apologist slams me, but avoids debate. My latest in PJ Media: Rather than feeling invigorated by his recent meal of human brain, Leftist media darling Reza Aslan appears to be a bit down in the dumps. Recently he spoke at the University of Pennsylvania, where he railed against a handful of […]
Reza Aslan blames rise of “Islamophobia” on Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney and Daniel Pipes
Cannibal Reza Aslan will never tell you this, but I will: the real originators of “Islamophobia” in the U.S. are not Geller, Gaffney, Pipes and me, but Nidal Malik Hasan, Mohamed Atta, Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Mohammed Abdulazeez, Syed Rizwan Farook, Tashfeen Malik, Omar Mateen, and all the other Muslims […]
Time for Reza Aslan to tell the truth about Islam after brain-eating stunt
Reza Aslan has gone to India and eaten human brains in the company of a fringe Hindu sect. The outcry was immediate. Aslan, a Muslim who teaches creative writing at the University of California at Riverside, was accused of “Hinduphobia” and of mischaracterizing Hindus. Attacked by BuzzFeed as a “kind of a jerk on Twitter,” […]
Reza Aslan’s agenda: showing Hinduism and Christianity as violent, Islam as peaceful
David Wood several years ago pointed out a feature of Reza Aslan’s work that, as time goes by, increasingly appears to be the central feature of all his work: he downplays or denies the violent aspects of Islamic teaching, while exaggerating or inventing violent elements in other religions. In No god but God, Aslan portrayed […]
Reza Aslan: Why he is not a Muslim
In this CNN piece, Reza Aslan purports to explain why he is a Muslim, and only ends up demonstrating that he is not a Muslim (although he is an Islamic apologist). Now, I can hear the chorus of outrage now through my office window: Muslim explains why he is a Muslim, bigoted “Islamophobe” says he […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Reza Aslan: A Muslim “Will & Grace” Will Cure “Islamophobia”
Victimhood? Most Islamic countries would murder Will. My latest in PJ Media: No matter how high the jihad body count rises, the Left clings to the notion that the only reason why anyone in America is suspicious of Islam or Muslims is because of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” But now the establishment propaganda media’s favorite Muslim, […]
Reza Aslan: A Muslim “Will & Grace” will cure “Islamophobia”
“What changed people’s minds was ‘Will and Grace,’ was ‘Modern Family,’ was watching people who were gay on television being, you know, ‘normal,’” says the establishment propaganda media’s favorite Muslim, Reza Aslan, as he threatens to inflict upon us a self-righteous, fatuous, virtue-signaling Muslim family sitcom. Because, you see, “stories have the power to breakthrough […]
Reza Aslan claims that since 2002, right-wing terrorists have killed far more Americans than Islamic terrorists
Media wonder boy Reza Aslan is behind the curve on this one: this particular talking point has already been debunked (not that he would care, or stop repeating it, if he knew). Back in June 2015, the New America Foundation published a study that garnered enthusiastic international publicity, as it purported to demonstrate that “right-wing […]
Robert Spencer in Front Page: Reza Aslan: Trump Is Popular Because of ‘Islamophobia’
In FrontPage today I explore more lies and half-truths from everyone’s favorite Leftist media darling, Reza Aslan. It is abundantly clear now that Reza is in way over his head, and covers over his abject ignorance of basic facts by making things up and asserting them as fact while repeatedly insisting he is a “scholar,” […]
Reza Aslan: Trump is popular because of “Islamophobia”
The adulation that the mainstream media heaps upon Reza Aslan is a singular demonstration of how superficial and biased the mainstream really is. For Aslan is no scholar, and if he were not a Muslim and a Leftist, his frequent howling errors of fact would have consigned him to media oblivion long ago. No non-Muslim […]
