Contest: Taqiyya Awareness Week at UCLA!
The Muslim Student Association at UCLA is holding Taqiyya Awareness Week — I mean, that is, Islamic Awareness Week: “Muslims hope to educate with awareness week,” from the Daily Bruin (thanks to Anthony). Friends, I thought that rather than answer all the distortions and dissimulations in this article, which I have answered on this site […]
UK ‘dirty bomb’ suspects for trial
An inadequate article, in that it doesn’t say anything about with what groups they were affiliated. Still, it vividly demonstrates that the threat to Western societies has not dissipated. From AP, : LONDON, England (AP) — Three terror suspects have pleaded innocent to charges that they conspired to possess a radioactive substance and entered into […]
Islam for Dhimmis author interview
The Baltimore Sun has an interview with Malcolm Clark, author of Islam for Dummies: “Required reading for American officers: ‘Islam for Dummies’ author hopes to dispel, correct misconceptions.” (Thanks to Anthony for the link.) The deathless classic Islam for Dummies, of course, has made it to General Vines’ infamous reading list. Predictably, Clark seems to […]

But no one asked her anything about the most important question […]

From the Washington Times, : Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 24 (UPI) — The Saudi interior minister has said the world’s most wanted terrorist, Osama […]
“The heads of the family has been separated from their bodies (they have been beheaded) at their home at Jersey”
The message below has appeared in Arabic on a Muslim bulletin board. (Thanks to Kemaste for the link, and Ali Sina for arranging for the translation.) In The Name Of Allah the Most Gracious The Most Merciful The Honourable Brothers/ Peace upon You Under the title “Muslim-Christian boil over N.J” The Associated Press wrote about […]
Another look: Balancing The Books
In late 2003, Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation, of which I am an Adjunct Fellow, offered an alternative book list on Islam to the package CAIR was offering to libraries. Of course, FCF didn’t have the funding CAIR did, so these books didn’t make it into many libraries. Nevertheless, I thought that in […]
Alleged Zarqawi tape vows to fight Iraq vote: Web
This has been eminently predictable for several years now. From Reuters, with thanks to Nicolei: DUBAI – Al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi declared a “bitter war” on Iraq’s parliamentary elections next Sunday, in an audiotape purporting to come from the Jordanian militant and posted on the Internet.The speaker urged Sunni Muslims to fight against […]
