Leaders of Jews and Muslims aim to halt extremism

By

Where are the Jewish “extremists”? Where are the Jewish groups in Europe doing violence in order to impose Jewish law on the continent? What on earth can these rabbis be thinking? From The Telegraph, with thanks to Anthony: Imams and rabbis from across the world will gather in Brussels today in an unprecedented effort to […]

Thai troops and police on full alert as uprising anniversary nears

By

It looks as if the tsunami hasn’t stopped the jihad in Thailand. From AFP, with thanks to Anthony: PATTANI, Thailand : Thousands of troops and police have been deployed in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces in case of violence on the January 04 first anniversary of a Muslim separatist revolt. “We deployed thousands of security officers,” […]

Spencer: Women Are Treated Better in Islam?

By

Jihad Watch director Robert Spencer follows up on the FrontPage symposium on women’s rights in Islam with this piece, also in FrontPage, commenting on a Christian Science Monitor puff piece about Latina women converting to Islam: The Christian Science Monitor this week introduces us to an American Latina, Jasmine Pinet, who “has found greater respect […]

“The challenge is to adapt our societies to Islam”

One poster put up a list of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and such dating back to 1815, putting some of their […]

Spencer in Toronto Star

By

The Toronto Star carries a story today called “Religious extremism is back” (thanks to Admiral Don Juan for the link). It is fundamentally wrongheaded in making an argument to which I have often objected in the past, in Islam Unveiled and elsewhere: it equates “extremists” of all religions without sufficient regard for what distinguishes each […]

At large in the US? Over 3,500 illegal immigrants from Muslim countries who have disobeyed orders to leave the country

By

Buried in this story about tracking illegal immigrants is the interesting item that as of early 2003, of 6,000 Muslims who absconded within the US after being told to leave the country, only 38 percent had been found. That left over 3,500 still at large. How many have been caught since then? Where are the […]

Briton held at Gitmo attended prayer meetings led by Muslim cleric with alleged links to Al-Qaeda

By

He just happened to catch a sermon or two from Abu Qatada, and just happened to choose Afghanistan as his place to flee from the British police. All just coincidences, you see. From The Times Online, “Detained Briton “˜had arms training,– with thanks to Twostellas: […]
