Muslims demand removal of Senator Lieberman from Homeland Security Committee
Poor Lieberman. A few months back, his aides contacted me about testifying in front of him and Congress regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. During our conference call, his aides seemed to have determined that my characterization of the Brotherhood was not very “nuanced” (evinced by the incessant question, “But some of the Brotherhood are ok, right?” […]
“Western liberties””freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, freedom of expression, equality before the law, including women’s rights and the rights of non-Muslims””are increasingly threatened by a growing deference to the laws of Islam”
Marc Charisse, editor of the Evening Sun of Hanover, Pennsylvania, recently announced his intention to drop Diana West’s column from the newspaper because, as he put it, West “never met a Muslim she didn’t hate.” This ready conflation of the defense of Western civilization and its rights and freedoms against Sharia supremacism with “hatred” is, […]
Muslim women sue and win case against UPS over dress code dispute
Even after they brought a “note” from the local Imam insisting they must wear ankle-length gowns,” UPS would not budge, citing hazard concerns; and now the latter have “paid” (jizya?) — though no one seems to know how much. “8 Muslims settle skirt dispute with UPS,” by Paola Loriggio for The Star, November 18: Eight […]
Al-Qaeda member deemed “unfit” for trial
The original question was whether Aafia Siddiqui was a “devout Muslim or a terrorist.” The verdict is in: she’s simply insane. After all, federal health inspectors have concluded that she is “unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against her or to assist properly in her defense” — an odd assessment for […]
Yemeni government makes movie to fight jihad!
You can see some clips from it here. It is unclear from these clips whether the film really attacks the underpinnings of the jihad ideology in the Qur’an and Sunnah — but since it is coming from Yemen, in which many people will agree with the jihad ideology without necessarily agreeing with the way Al-Qaeda […]
Turkey: Special teams to stop honor killings
It is good to see a concerted effort to prevent this. Will we one day need such “special teams” in the United States? “Turkey: Special Teams To Stop ‘Honour Killings,’” from ANSAmed, November 17 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – ANKARA, NOVEMBER 17 – A special team will operate in the South Eastern province of Mardin […]
Australia: Convicted jihadists “continue to adhere to the philosophy of violent jihad”
And why wouldn’t they? What would have disabused them of these notions? Have any Islamic leaders in Australia met with them and tried to convince them that they had gotten Islam terribly, terribly wrong? If so, how did they try to do this, and why were they unsuccessful? If not, why not, and what are […]
Riding the radio waves
Today I’ll be appearing on a few radio shows to discuss the reality of the stealth jihad in America today and the book that tells the tale. Once again, some of these may be catchable online, or if you’re in the area call in and give me a piece of your mind. All times PST: […]
Iraqi bishop receives letter: “There is no place for you infidel Christians among the Muslim believers in Iraq from now on. Otherwise, our swords will be legalized over your neck”
In accordance with Qur’an 47:4, which directs jihadists to “smite at the necks” of unbelievers. “Letter From Iraqi Muslim Group Orders All Christians Out of the Country,” from the Assyrian International News Agency, November 18: (AINA) — A Christian bishop received a threatening letter written by Ansar al-Islam, a Kurdish Muslim group affiliated with al-Qaeda […]
