Boston University prof draws seven lessons from Qur’an-burning, misses the real one

By

The real lesson that Prothero misses is that freedom of expression must be protected. To ask people to curtail their activities, however one may dislike them, because of the threat of violence, is only to encourage that violence. “My Take: The Quran burning that wasn’t: 7 lessons learned,” by Boston University religion scholar Stephen Prothero […]

Al-Qaeda second banana misunderstands Islam, calls for jihad on 9/11 anniversary

By

This provides yet another golden opportunity for “moderate” Muslim spokesmen to explain exactly how their jihad differs from Zawahiri’s. Honest Ibe? Brave Ahmed? Anyone?

Worth in the New York Times, September 15: DAMASCUS, Syria — Ayman al-Zawahiri, Al Qaeda’s second in command, released […]

Sharif el-Gamal, thug developer of Ground Zero mega-mosque, is being evicted from his SoHo office for racking up $39,000 in back rent

By

The thuggish, in-your-face aspect of the desire to build a mosque at Ground Zero has by now been amply documented: belying their claims to be building it only to affect reconciliation and peace, mosque leaders have smeared all opponents of the mosque as racists and bigots and refused all entreaties to put their mosque elsewhere.

By

An update on this story, after the lower house of parliament passed a ban in July. The ensuing spate of bomb threats at the Eiffel Tower and subway near Notre Dame Cathedral is more than curious: coincidence, or more stellar anger management from adherents of the Religion of Peace? “French Senate passes ban on full […]

Iran judiciary top dog: Qur’an-burning “a new plot by the World Arrogance led by international Zionism”

Who else could be behind it? “Iran says Quran burning shows new Zionist conspiracy emerging,” from the Iranian Students News Agency, September 14 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani condemned insult to the Holy Quran, saying that a new Zionist conspiracy is emerging. “Insult to the Holy […]

Hamas-linked CAIR demands that Hartford, CT city council feature Muslim prayer rather than interfaith moment of silence

By

Hamas-linked CAIR actually claims here, in a fine Orwellian twist, that to feature Islamic prayer rather than an “interfaith moment of silence” would be a gesture of “equality.” An update on this story. “Conn. Muslims ask for equality from city council,” by Everton Bailey, Jr., for the Associated Press, September 14 (thanks to Block Ness): […]
