The Organization of the Islamic Conference has been trying for years to compel Western nations to restrict the freedom of speech by introducing “hate […]

Australia: Islamic validity of terror attacks debated in mosque
Is a transcript of this debate available? It could be exceedingly illuminating, particularly if those who were against the Islamic validity of such attacks did not object to them merely on prudential grounds, but on Islamic theological grounds. If so, this would be one of those rare sightings of that ever-elusive unicorn, an Islamic theological […]
Spencer: Media Blackout on Ground Zero Mosque Rally
In FrontPage this morning I ask the question: if the media doesn’t cover a rally, did anyone attend? The photographs don’t lie: at the 9/11 Rally of Remembrance against the Ground Zero mega-mosque, tens of thousands of people filled the streets. Flags were everywhere, along with numerous homemade signs. Meanwhile, two blocks away, at the […]
Priorities: 300 Egyptian security forces storm monastery with tear gas, batons, and stones to seize building materials, seriously injuring monks
Because nothing — nothing! — says “Religion of Peace and Tolerance” quite like beating up on a bunch of monks! At issue here once again is the provision in Islamic law that forbids dhimmis, or non-Muslims subjugated under Islamic law’s holy protection racket, from repairing their houses of worship or building new ones, as notably […]
Australia: Judge bars 14-year-old Muslim girl from being taken out of country to thwart parents’ plans to marry her to stranger
Despite the same tired religion-versus-culture excuse trotted out at the end of the report below, this is not merely a “cultural” practice, as amply demonstrated by its persistence in Islamic countries far removed from one another. It persists because Muhammad, as a “beautiful pattern of conduct” per Qur’an 33:21, made the practice sacrosanct: “The Prophet […]

Five Muslims planned jihad attack on Australian army base
They said they were doing it to further the cause of Islam, but of course everyone knows that this has nothing to do with Islam. “Five Muslim men planned attack on NSW army base, Supreme Court told,” by Norrie Ross in the Herald Sun, September 13 (thanks to Pamela Geller): FIVE Muslim men planned an […]
New York: Defendant in synagogue jihad bombing case faking mental illness
War is Deceit, said Muhammad — and we have seen this kind of thing from his followers before, notably Aafia Siddiqui and Nuradin Abdi. “NY judge says terror defendant is faking illness,” by Larry Neumeister for Associated Press, September 14 (thanks to Block Ness): NEW YORK (AP) — A defendant in a terrorism trial who […]
Genocide: Economy in Gaza, world’s largest concentration camp, improves by 16%
Blame the Zionists! “IMF: Gaza’s economy shot up by 16% so far in 2010,” by Avi Issacharoff for Haaretz, September 14 (thanks to Benedict): The International Monetary Fund expects the Palestinian economy to grow by 8 percent overall this year, after the West Bank economy grew by 9 percent in the first half and the […]
