Sweden: Integration Minister says Muslim migrants should take courses to teach them that rape is wrong
Such courses are foredoomed to failure. The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: ““O prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to […]
Israel’s Outgoing Ambassador to US: Trump ‘Won’t Allow’ Annexation of Judea and Samaria
Israel’s outgoing ambassador to the US is Michael Herzog, the older brother of Israeli president Isaac Herzog.

Hundreds of Palestinians make pilgrimage to ‘shrine’ in Rafah where Yahya Sinwar died
The Palestinians and their leaders of the Palestinian Authority and Hamas honor and encourage the murder of Israelis “as Islamic religious acts.” According to Palestinian Media Watch, every jihad terrorist killed whom the Israelis kill is deemed to be “doing the highest service of Islam. He is dying for the sake of Allah and thus reaches […]
Wait, Did Catholic Joe Biden Just Become a Freemason?
New in PJ Media: Old Joe Biden has begun his post-presidential career, which is no doubt going to rival Jimmy Carter’s in undeserved media adulation, by apparently becoming a Freemason. This would be an utterly unremarkable incident in the life of a man who lives in the world where people are constantly slapping each other […]
ESPN Leftist Stephen A. Smith Sorry He Voted for Kamala, Explains Why Trump Won
New in PJ Media: You can still get sports coverage on ESPN, but the ostensible sports network has been famously woke for years, with its NBA analyst and “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith leading the way. Smith has demonstrated more than once, however, that he is not a doctrinaire leftist who never dares to […]
Palestinian Authority says Hamas disguised as civilians caused civilian deaths and destruction of Gaza
No one will pay any attention. They’re far too invested in demonizing Israel. “Palestinian Authority: Hamas disguised as civilians caused civilian deaths and destruction of Gaza,” by Ephraim D. Tepler and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, January 23, 2025: The Palestinian Authority’s official daily admitted that Hamas terrorists disguised themselves as civilians and used civilian […]
Trump re-designates Houthis as ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’
The Biden administration removed the Houthi terrorist designation in 2021, and then partially reapplied the designation as “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGT) last year, due to the Houthis terrorist activities in the Red Sea. Biden claimed that he removed the designation for the sake of humanitarianism: The Houthis remain in control of much of western Yemen […]
Afghan Refugee Stabs Michigan Man While Media Demands More Afghan Refugees
That’s two Afghan refugee stabbings this week. The media was furious that the Trump administration had temporarily suspended incoming ‘refugee’ flights from Afghanistan. It barraged us with stories about the 1,600 Afghans whose flights were canceled to come here. This came shortly after an Afghan refugee stabbed a child to death in Germany. And now one here stabbed […]
At Columbia University, It’s Springtime for Hitler and ‘Palestine’
While it’s midwinter on the mean streets of Morningside Heights, according to the academic calendar on the Columbia campus, it is the beginning of the Spring Term. And that means the predictable band of antisemites, both students and non-students, have gathered after the Christmas break on the campus to yet again scream their demands — […]
Nigeria: Muslims storm fishing community and open fire on fishermen, murdering at least 20
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60) “20 fishermen killed in Boko Haram attack in eastern Nigeria,” Yemen News Agency (SABA), January 24, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Local […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: Music events canceled after Muslim cleric blames concerts for drought
A Shi’ite hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “And the person with the [sin of] singing (al-ghina’) will be raised [on the day of resurrection] blind, deaf and dumb. The person with [the sin of] adultery, of wood-wind, and of drum will also be raised in the same way.” And: “Whoever listens to the entertainment (song and […]
Noem Confirmed as DHS Secretary
New in PJ Media: It’s a massive upgrade from Alejandro Mayorkas to Kristi Noem, and now it’s official: the Senate voted Saturday to confirm Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security by a 59-34 vote. (Occasionally sensible Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., voted for the nominee.) There is now a very real chance that […]

In Germany, Another Muslim Migrant Has Turned into a Killer of Infidels
It was in 2015 that former German chancellor Angela Merkel proclaimed to her countrymen that “Wir Schaffen Das!” (We Can Do This!), by which she meant that we Germans can admit huge numbers of Muslims into the country and successfully integrate them into the larger society without the least friction. In 2015, more than one […]
The New York Times, Israel, and ‘Palestine’
The veteran journalist Ira Stoll has many times in the past held up for critical inspection the New York Times’ coverage of Israel and the Middle East which, he demonstrates, “is becoming increasingly unmoored from reality.” More from his latest philippic can be found here: “New York Times ‘Ceasefire’ Coverage Laments That Israel Will Exist,” by […]
‘Ceasefire’ Claims First Deaths After Hamas Gaza Rampage
This is the first blood shed as a result of the “ceasefire.” It won’t be the last. What’s a terrorist ceasefire without a body count? No, there won’t be any rallies, protests or ICC investigations into this because (and this is not so secret), they were not supporting the Arab Muslims in Gaza, who they […]
Islamic Republic of Iran sentenced converts to Christianity to a total of over 250 years in prison in 2024
These converts could have had it worse. Shi’ite Islam, like Sunni Islam, prescribes the death penalty for apostasy: Shaykh al-Kulayni narrates a sahíh (correct) hadith from `Ammãr as-Sãbãti who said: I heard (Imam) Abu `Abdullãh (as-Sãdiq) (a.s.) saying, “A Muslim from among the Muslims who renounces Islam and rejects the prophethood of Muhammad and considers […]
