“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 […]
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

Afghan apostate from Islam gains asylum in U.K.
But not before “the Home Office said he would be able to practise his faith if he found like-minded Christians in Kabul and ‘kept his head down’.” You know, like a good dhimmi. At least, in this case, the Home Office was overruled, and the plight of non-Muslims and apostates from Islam in Islamic societies […]
