Righteous defenders of the Qur’an murder two in Afghan Qur’an-burning protests

By

These killers are monstrous. They have assassinated innocent people for something that did not happen, and that the murdered people couldn’t conceivably have had anything to do with. And yet instead of calling them monstrous and demanding that Islamic leaders stop inciting and approving of such behavior, Barack Obama and David Petraeus urged pastor Terry […]

“By now Rauf’s professed ignorance of the damage he is doing to the fabric of our society is undeniably willful”

By

The pictures don’t lie (Photo by El Marco) The NYPD was adamant yesterday that our 9/11 Rally of Remembrance must not run over the allotted time for even one minute, and so unfortunately a couple of speakers who had been slated toward the end of the program were unable to speak. I’m pleased therefore to […]

The people speak: no mosque here!

By

The people will be heard (Photo by El Marco) The 9/11 Rally of Remembrance was inspiring. Tens of thousands of lovers of America gathered to hear Wilders, Bolton, Breitbart, Ilario Pantano, Mike Gallagher, Steve Malzberg, and a host of others — and a highlight was a rousing speech by the media’s “victim” of our June […]

Founder of Islamic charity convicted of funneling money to Chechen jihadists

By

Islamic “charities” supporting jihadists: funny how that keeps happening. And it does because there is not the traditional separation between combatant and charitable activities in zakat as there is in the Western tradition, where charitable groups are strictly non-combatant. Rather, Qur’an 9:60 makes no such distinction when discussing groups to whom zakat may be allotted, […]

Jihadists kill 2 police, injure 5 in southern Russia

By

Striking at the enforcement of non-Sharia law, on the heels of yesterday’s large-scale attack targeting civilians in a market. One commenter asked yesterday: “if the bombers are targeting Muslims [sic] populations how can we call it part of the global Islamic effort?” Muslim-on-Muslim jihad is nothing new; in fact, it is one of the most […]

Saudi diplomat seeks asylum in the U.S., saying he fears for his life over being gay and friendship with Jewish woman… but says Islam is tolerant

By

Never mind the mountain of anecdotes from expat workers in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Muslim world describing a prison-like subculture of male encounters fueled in part by the the rigid separation of the sexes, and the subjugation of women as inferior, morally deficient sources of temptation. Despite that breathtaking hypocrisy in the Kingdom […]

Pakistan: 13-year-old Hindu girl kidnapped from house, forced to convert to Islam; police won’t pursue case

By

Qur’an 2:256 says there is no compulsion in religion. But also in the Qur’an, and throughout Islamic law, there is coercion (9:29), and entrapment, and attempts to force unbelievers into impossible choices between conversion and unlivable situations (see also: Pakistani non-Muslims seeking flood aid), hunger, terror, war, and death. Or under the Ottoman devshirme system, […]

Not unexpected: More violence, threats over Qur’an burning that didn’t even happen

By

It is a sense of entitlement to be above insult and criticism, coupled with the Qur’an’s own endorsement of fighting and killing to establish and ensure Islam’s supremacy (9:5, 8:39), that leads to histrionics like those we are seeing in Afghanistan. Indeed, violence against insults to Islam, like so many other problems in the Islamic […]
