The kuffar stepped out of line. Their crime? Standing up to a Muslim who was charging Christians exorbitant interest. Yes, interest is automatically riba, or usury, under Islamic law, but note the double standard the man was upholding: he was just doing his part to make sure the Christians “feel themselves subdued,” as the Qur’an […]

Danish Motoon book without reprints of individual Motoons isn’t good enough for the OIC
Of course it isn’t, because the OIC is not after partial submission to its demands that free speech become subject to Sharia. So, a book about the cartoons that doesn’t condemn them as the worst crime against humanity in the past 100 years, and that even reproduces a reduced-size version of the front page of […]
“Winnipeg students” join jihad in Pakistan, local Muslims “stressed” over ongoing investigation
There are so many better things to be “stressed” over here than feigning victim-hood over the investigation. At the very least, they could be concerned about their co-religionists whose sons have disappeared on them. Better yet, they could be concerned for the potential victims of the Winnipeg jihadists. And most of all, they could and […]
Pakistan: Lahore High Court upholds death sentence for “blasphemy”
One of the strongest demonstrations of Sharia as a defective and unjust system is how its cruel and unusual provisions serve especially to exploit the vulnerable in society: those who, for any number of reasons (including Sharia’s own marginalization of women and non-Muslims), are not in a position to schmooze or buy (see: diyya, or […]

"Fooling them with my tousled locks and fashionable stubble" More on this snake-oil salesman: he is a member of the Advisory Board of the National Iranian Council (NIAC), an organization that has earned the contempt of genuine Iranian freedom fighters by slyly running interference in Washington for the Islamic Republic of Iran. I wrote a […]
Reza Aslan, smear merchant and apologist for oppression, featured (with Spencer) on ABC/Christiane Amanpour whitewash of jihad and Islamic supremacism
Reza Aslan: "My hairdresser says this hairstyle makes me look like less of an anti-infidel freedomphobic bigot" As I noted here, Wednesday night I took part in Christiane Amanpour’s jihad whitewash on ABC’s “This Week” show. It will run at 11AM Eastern on Sunday morning, but I won’t be watching, as Amanpour was enthusiastically fronting […]
Ground Zero mega-mosque design is Islamic supremacist: tumbling, broken stars of David, Pentagons, crosses
Unmistakable and shameful. Pamela Geller has the details and more background here, here and here. The Atlas commenter TyeDye is dead-on when he says: Regarding the visual design of the facade of the mosque: Yes, there are many Stars of David, and as well, there are pentagons. They are stylized, but definitely there: the “clusters” […]
Women caned for selling food during Ramadan in modern, moderate Indonesia
A moderate caning Wednesday night I participated in what turned out to be a jihad whitewashing circus hosted by Christiane Amanpour on ABC. It was part of the “This Week” show and will run at 11AM Eastern on Sunday morning, but I will not be watching, as Amanpour was energetically carrying water for the Islamic […]

Islamic Tolerance Alert from that bastion of Islamic moderation, the Balkans: “Muslims threaten ethnic Serb over prayer meeting,” from Serbianna, September 30 (thanks to George): Ethnic Serb Darko Panovic received a death threat from an “unknown” source after announcing plans for a Christian prayer meeting in a city of Novi Pazar that hosts large number […]
