Surprise, surprise. And the duplicity doesn’t extend just to the Shias. “Iraqi Head of the Shia endowment accuses Saudi Arabia of duplicity over fighting terrorism,” from the Ahlul Bayt News Agency, September 13 (thanks to Twostellas): Head of the Shia endowment in Iraq Saleh Al Haidari accused Saudi Arabia of duplicity over fighting terrorism. While […]

Talking dog
While I was making preparations for the rally the other day I took some time to pick up a talking dog (you can find anything in New York). So I took the dog into a bar with me and told the bartender, “If I prove to you that this dog can talk, will you give […]
Fitzgerald: Feisal Abdul Rauf Makes A Big Mistake
NEW YORK – The imam behind a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near ground zero cautioned Wednesday that moving the facility could cause a violent backlash from Muslim extremists and endanger national security. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf told CNN that the discourse surrounding the center has become so politicized that moving it could strengthen […]
Mega-mosque imam lectures America on arrogance at CNN
Rauf has gotten a free bully pulpit there to lecture America on arrogance, and peddle tired platitudes about common values and tolerance. You’ve got to admit, the man knows arrogance — a fact amply demonstrated by the attitude with which he and his fellow developers have approached the mosque project: We’re going to build it, […]
Misunderstanders of Islam attack Christians in Indonesia
Where is Obama calling on these “assailants” to stand down? Why isn’t anyone calling upon the Indonesian Islamic authorities to make stronger efforts to ensure that the adherents of the Religion of Peace don’t misunderstand it so drastically as to think that attacking Christians could be justified? Don’t they realize they’re just going to provoke […]
Righteous defenders of the Qur’an murder two in Afghan Qur’an-burning protests
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 […]
Wilders: “We must not give a free hand to those who want to subjugate us”
Photo by David Pietrusza Here via Atlas is the text of Geert Wilders’ keynote address at the 9/11 Rally of Remembrance yesterday: Dear friends, May I ask you to be silent for ten seconds? Just be silent and listen. Ten seconds. And listen… What we hear are the sounds of life in the greatest city […]
“By now Rauf’s professed ignorance of the damage he is doing to the fabric of our society is undeniably willful”
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!
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
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, […]
