We have written here several times about the Arab cultural hegemony that tends to go along with Islam. Here in the same line are some thought-provoking observations about black Muslims from the Booker Rising blog, with thanks to Olivia: You may remember Richard Reid (pictured), the British-born shoe bomber who tried to blow up an […]

Blast hits British Airways, British Petroleum offices in Iran
Is Ahmadinejad’s bellicose rhetoric coming home to roost? “Blast hits BA, BP offices in Iran,” from CNN, with thanks to Twostellas: TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) — An explosive device has detonated in a building housing offices for British Airways and oil company BP, breaking some windows and causing other damage, representatives of the companies said.

Galloway: “It’s not the Muslims who are sick. It’s Bush and Blair and Berlusconi who are sick.”
Does the Western world need reform, or the Islamic world? Actually, both, but the champion dhimmi Galloway here brushes aside any necessity for Muslims to confront and eradicate the jihad ideology. “British MP George Galloway in Syria: Foreigners Are Raping Two Beautiful Arab Daughters – Jerusalem and Baghdad,” from MEMRITV, with thanks to Sr. Soph: […]
Spiking the PIG at Barnes and Noble
The “PIG,” of course, is the Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Not only are cowardly talk show hosts afraid to discuss this book — some bookstores are trying to make sure that buyers can’t find it. Jihad Watch reader Bosch ‘PIGMAN’ Fawstin sent me this email: Mr. Spencer, The other day I […]

Hirsi Ali: Muhammad’s example
One of the foremost heroes of our age, Ayaan Hirsi Ali — a name that future generations will venerate if the light of freedom continues to shine anywhere in the world — discusses something that most of the learned analysts on this side of the Atlantic, both liberal and conservative, dare not discuss: the necessity […]
Yesterday
Yesterday I caught the early stagecoach out of Secure Undisclosed Locationville and journeyed to the belly of the beast, the capital of the Great Satan, where I spoke to the Young America’s Foundation about my new book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and related matters. The event was taped by C-Span. […]
