My latest in PJ Media: That inexhaustible fountain of Leftist propaganda, Salon on Saturday published a bubbly piece by Ashima Krishna, “an architect and historic preservation planner,” enthusing about how “churches in neighborhoods that aren’t doing well [in] areas that are less attractive to developers looking to turn a profit” have recently been converted into houses […]
Salon: “Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia famously switched from a Christian church to a mosque in 1453”
“Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia famously switched from a Christian church to a mosque in 1453. The same sort of conversions have been taking place in Buffalo’s East Side.” The same sort? Really? The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (which you can order here) recounts how, after over seven hundred years of trying, the warriors […]
Salon: “After Paris, let’s stop blaming Muslims and take a hard look at ourselves”
Yeah. How dare those French get in the way of those jihad suicide bombers and gunmen? How dare 160 French get massacred by Islamic jihadists? Don’t they realize that makes Islam look bad? Also, when did Salon ever “blame Muslims”? How can they stop what they never started? The whole framing of this issue as […]
Salon: Paris jihad massacre shows that “right-wing” needs to “moderate their rhetoric”
The American Left is beyond parody. Apparently Salon would have us believe that the Paris jihad massacre happened because “the right wing media” criticized the Black Lives Matter movement. Islamic jihad? Warfare against unbelievers? The Islamic State’s stated imperative to murder French civilians? Only greasy Islamophobes take such things seriously: everyone knows Fox News and […]
Salon: “We are at war with an imaginary Islam”
From Salon comes this particularly lengthy and turgid exercise in Leftist denial of reality. “The United States is at war with a very different, mythic Islam of its own making that has nothing at all to do with this Islam of the Qur’an,” says Raymond William Baker, without bothering to examine the Qur’an at all […]
Salon scrapes the bottom of the barrel to find “Christian terrorists”
The mainstream media, especially organs like Salon that are even more Leftist than the others, are always avid to exonerate Islam and establish the claim that Christianity is just as likely to incite its adherents to violence as Islam is. No group has a monopoly on evil, and certainly Christians have in history committed terrible […]
Salon: “If you want to know why ISIS exists, don’t bother searching Islamic texts, or examining Islamic traditions”
The author of this Salon piece is Haroon Moghul, who is fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, Fellow at the New America Foundation, Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University, and the Alfred Rosenberg of the “Islamophobia” movement. Back in the early years of the National Socialist movement in Germany, Rosenberg’s The Myth of […]
Salon: “No proof that Jesus even existed”; Muhammad’s existence “established beyond the shadow of a doubt”
In October, Jeffrey Tayler wrote in Salon that the Qur’an “backs up jihad, suicide attacks (“martyrdom”), beheadings, even taking captive women as sex slaves.” This was singular for Salon, which usually whitewashes the truth about Islam and jihad and excoriates those who expose it as “racists” and “bigots,” but now it is clear why Tayler […]
