“Prince Walid Helps Set Up Islamic Art Wing in Louvre” from IslamOnline, with thanks to Fjordman. PARIS , July 27, 2005 — Saudi billionaire Prince Al-Walid Bin Talal has donated a multi-million-euro gift to finance the construction of a new Islamic art wing in the Paris-based Louvre Museum to show off the bright face of […]

I respect Cliff May’s work. I think his article on the Palestinians was an absolute knockout punch, and I applaud much of what he has accomplished with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. But his latest article is one of the most appalling things I have read in a long time — principally because […]

Of course, he never meant to hurt anyone. He was carrying bombs, you say? Yes, but such little ones! After all, Islam is a religion of peace! Actually, he says he wanted to “sow terror,” as commanded in Qur’an 8:60: “Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that […]

Over the years I have come across many, many defaced books in libraries. Defaced in all sorts of ways, for all sorts of reasons. There are all sorts of jerks and dweebs everywhere who do this sort of thing. What is noteworthy about this story is not — horror of horrors! — the slice of […]

Now even American soldiers are not safe in our friend and ally Saudi Arabia. From Middle East Newsline, with thanks to Gabrielle Goldwater: WASHINGTON [MENL] — U.S. Central Command has suspended non-essential travel for American soldiers based in Saudi Arabia.

Jonathan David Carson in The American Thinker (thanks to Hugh Fitzgerald) unmasks some dhimmitude in Science magazine about the historical role of Islam in scientific development. I also discuss this in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) claims for its journal Science “the […]

1. I thought they were so desperately poor (don’t know where those Saudi billions went) that they couldn’t afford things like mortar and light arms. 2. Doesn’t this mean the deal is off? From Haaretz, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist: Palestinian gunmen targeted Israeli settlements and Israel Defense Forces positions Saturday in a number […]

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses a favored proposition of official dhimmi Washington — that we should work together with the Saudis to combat terrorism: Blame the “experts.” Blame C.I.A. intelligence agents who operate at the level of Michael Scheuer: a schoolboy, with a schoolboy’s understanding of Islam, and his worldview vitiated by […]

This is a disquieting sign of resurgent Vatican dhimmitude. If the Vatican really thinks Israel violated international law, Navarro-Valls should specify when and where. If he cannot do so, he shouldn’t make such statements. Otherwise, all a flat, non-specific statement does is lend support to the idea of moral equivalence, and give aid and comfort […]

We need more interviewers like Wafa Sultan who aren’t afraid to challenge jihadist distortions, obfuscations, and sleights of hand. Instead, the mainstream media is awash with dhimmis on both the left and the right. “LA Psycohologyst [sic] Wafa Sultan Clashes with Algerian Islamist Ahmad bin Muhammad over Islamic Teachings and Terrorism,” from MEMRITV, with thanks […]
