There has been heated debate in Great Britain over the “working definition” of “Islamophobia” that has been presented for the government’s adoption by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims. The Independent describes the opposition of British police chiefs here: “Police leaders have raised concerns that a proposed definition of Islamophobia will undermine counter-terror […]
UK: Muhammad now #1 name for baby boys
What do British authorities think when they hear this news? What do they think Britain will be like in twenty or thirty years? Do they think that all these Muhammads will grow up to be upstanding, loyal British subjects with portraits of Maajid Nawaz on their walls? Does it ever occur to them that some […]
UK: Muslim rape gang member says raping girls a “religious requirement”
Where did he get this idea? From the Qur’an. “The believers must (eventually) win through, those who humble themselves in their prayers; who avoid vain talk; who are active in deeds of charity; who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess, […]
Church of England bishop says Qur’an should be read at Charles’ coronation
What a great idea. Here are some readings that would go over great at Charles’ coronation, and show who is the boss in the Brave New Britain: Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part […]
UK jihadists funded by welfare benefits
These jihadis no doubt consider these welfare benefits to be their due, in lieu of the jizya that the Qur’an says that Muslims should collect from subjugated non-Muslim People of the Book (9:29). In Islamic law, it is the place of non-Muslims to turn over their funds to the Muslims. “Jihadists funded by welfare benefits, […]
UK Muslims arrested on suspicion of Syria-related jihad terror offenses
Alex Nash — apparently a convert to Islam. “Heathrow Isis Terrorist Arrest: Walsall Man Alex Nash Charged With Theft of Passport,” by Lewis Dean, International Business Times, November 27, 2014: Walsall man Alex Nash has been charged with stealing a passport and other identity documents after he and his girlfriend were arrested at Heathrow Airport […]
UK: Muslima charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter
It is unfortunate that the British authorities are so unreflective that they never seem to consider the question of why what they consider to be an un-Islamic misunderstanding of Islam is so widespread. Nor do they ask themselves why mosque authorities are doing nothing to combat this misunderstanding. “Woman charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter,” […]
UK: Peer reported to Lords Speaker for noting Rigby killer was Qur’an-inspired
Mujaahid Abu Hamza, aka Michael Adebolajo, said he was inspired by the Qur’an: the list of Qur’an verses that he cited to justify his action is below. In response, the furious Muslim MP Khalid Mahmood simply asserts that Lord Pearson must not have read the Qur’an, and demands that this discussion be foreclosed. You will […]
UK convert to Islam: “I can’t love my mum because she’s not Muslim”
This is straight out of the Qur’an, which says that Abraham gives an “excellent example” to Muslims when he tells his pagan family that there is now “enmity and hatred” between them and him until they worship Allah alone (60:4). And: “O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as […]
Anglican bishop praises those who behead people and blow up girls’ schools
I hear that Hitler was sweet to his dog. Mustn’t be “simplistic,” now! “Taliban can be admired for their faith and loyalty, says bishop,” by Jonathan Wynne-Jones and Duncan Gardham for the Telegraph, December 13 (thanks to Walter): The Taliban can be admired for their conviction to their faith and their sense of loyalty to […]
UK: Hoteliers accused of insulting Muslim received death threats

More on this story. “Christian hoteliers received violent threats over Muslim guest ‘insult,’” by Jonathan Wynne-Jones in the Telegraph, December 12 (thanks to James): Christian hoteliers Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang have received hate mail after they were accused of insulting a Muslim […]
UK authorities watching for nursery school jihad
She doesn’t know al-Qaeda from Shinola — but Daddy does They keep finding “radicalization” popping up all over, but cannot or will not look at what causes it. “Terror police to monitor nurseries for Islamic radicalisation,” by Alex Ralph and Sean O’Neill for The Times, December 11 (thanks to all who sent this in): Nursery-age […]
“It is not the role of the West to tell Muslims what is Islam and what is not Islam”
Crispin Blunt is right. All too often we see non-Muslim government officials, politicians, judges, etc. say what Islam is — generally that it is a Religion of Peaceâ„¢ that teaches tolerance and respectful coexistence as equals with non-Muslims. This is an iron dogma that is never questioned, but is never backed up by actual evidence […]
UK couple cleared of insulting Muslim hotel guest
A small victory for sanity and the freedom of speech. It is absurd that charges were brought against them in the first place, but such is the Islamic victimhood industry. An update on this story. “Hotelier Ben Vogelenzang cleared of insulting Muslim guest,” by Russell Jenkins for The Times, December 9 (thanks to all who […]
UK Misunderstander of Islam guilty of plotting “deadly terror attack”
It’s too bad, isn’t it, that all the self-righteous self-proclaimed Muslim moderates who spend so much time trying to show that what this site says about Islam is wrong don’t spend any time at all trying to convince Muslims who somehow get the crazy idea that Islam teaches violence and supremacism that they’re getting their […]
Poll: 75% of Londoners support ban on minarets
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% […]
UK: Muslim teen gang members boast about becoming suicide bombers
“Youths” misunderstanding Islam and terrorizing the populace, perhaps longing for that virgin-filled Paradise guaranteed to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (Koran 9:111). “Birmingham gang warn about becoming Taliban suicide bombers,” by Ben Goldby for the Sunday Mercury, November 30 (thanks to Walter): GUN-toting members of a new Birmingham teenage gang are boasting […]
UK: Muslim politician pelted with eggs by “true Muslims”
As I’ve pointed out many times, Islamic jihadists and Islamic supremacists claim that they are the true Muslims, the exponents of authentic Islam. They recruit among peaceful Muslims by means of this appeal. And while self-proclaimed moderate Muslims expend immense effort — notably at this site — to convince non-Muslims that the jihadist interpretation of […]
UK: Accused Al-Qaeda jihadis win right to hear secret evidence against them
Thereby significantly increasing the attractiveness of getting arrested, as far as jihadis are concerned. This is also one of the dividends Khaled Sheikh Mohammed will enjoy from his civilian trial in New York. Absurd Britannia Alert: “Al-Qaeda ‘terrorists’ win right to hear secret evidence,” by Duncan Gardham for the
