Ontario premier rejects Shariah law
A hard-won victory for human rights. It is only unfortunate that the other religious arbitration arrangements have to be sacrificed, which feeds the assumption that they are all morally equivalent. If Western authorities could dare to speak honestly about the distinctive characteristics of Islamic law, this would not be necessary. From AP, with thanks to […]
Philadelphia: Convicted Hamas member sentenced
He entered the US on a student visa but never attended college. Did he perhaps have any other plans for his stay in America? From the Philadelphia Inquirer, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: A 28-year-old Palestinian convicted in Israel of membership in the militant organization Hamas was sentenced to a year in prison yesterday […]
Oregon: Charges dismissed in Islamic charity case
However, “the government could choose to file criminal charges against the defunct Ashland group in the future.” From The Oregonian, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: A federal judge in Eugene on Thursday dismissed criminal charges against a defunct Islamic organization in Ashland, a ruling that preserves the government’s ability to bring criminal charges against […]
Billboard fights falsehoods about Islam
Well, this clears it all up. Imagine! Radio talk show hosts are spreading misinformation about Islam! Now where would they get the idea that Islam does anything but oppose terror and seek peace? Hmmm. Maybe from people like Osama bin Laden, Omar Bakri, Abu Bakar Bashir, and multitudes of others who proclaim repeatedly that Islam […]

Peace In Our Time update from Haaretz, with thanks to Nicolei: Palestinians set fire to at least four synagogues in evacuated Gaza Strip settlements early Monday, a day after the cabinet reversed an earlier decision and said Israel Defense Forces should withdraw without demolishing the synagogues.

Syrian Deputy Minister of Religious Endowments, Muhammad Abd Al-Sattar Al-Sayyid: AIDS Patients Should Be Stoned before Spreading Their Disease
Yet another example of the hollowness of the Left’s pet moral equivalency arguments between Christian and Muslim “fundamentalists”: no Christian leaders are calling for anything remotely like this. This is something that comes from Islam, and indicates one key aspect of this present clash of civilizations. From MEMRITV, with thanks to all who sent this […]
Tape Released: American al Qaeda Member Warns of Attacks
In a fitting reminder of the brutality and barbarity of 9/11, Adam Gadahn, about whom I wrote this some time ago, seems to have resurfaced with more threats. Oh, and he says that Islam is a religion of peace — but “peace on our terms.” “Tape Released: American al Qaeda Member Warns of Attacks,” from […]
Ontario sharia plan protested
More on the anti-Sharia protests in Canada. From the Globe and Mail, with thanks to Paul: Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty will let down women and help the cause of political Islam if he allows faith-based arbitration to go ahead, anti-sharia demonstrators charged yesterday at an emotional rally in Toronto. The protest was one of 12 […]
Four years on
A year ago today I entitled some remarks about the state of the resistance to Islamic jihad “December 7, 1944.” The point was that three years after World War II began for the U.S., it was less than a year away from ending. But we are now engaged in a longer, more complex conflict than […]
