That’s right. Creeping Sharia, advanced by referendum if Erdogan has his way. This case only offers further proof that democracy for its own sake is not the solution to “extremism” in the Muslim world, because the success of a democracy to protect civil liberties, equality, and true pluralism (not dhimmitude) depends on the values that […]

Philippines: Bishop of Jolo fears rise in jihadist violence: “Usually, something happens after Ramadan”
There is, of course, a well established correlation the world over between Ramadan and an increase in jihadist attacks. And what better way to celebrate the end of the “month of jihad” than… more jihad? “Violence could erupt after Ramadan – Jolo Catholic bishop,” by Jomar Canlas for the Manila Times, September 11 (thanks to […]
Ahmadinejad: Qur’an-burning a “Zionist plot” that will bring about Israel’s annihilation
Of course! Why did it take him so long to realize that the Jews were behind it all? “Ahmadinejad: Koran burning will bring about Israel’s annihilation,” from Haaretz, September 10: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday condemned plans by a Florida pastor to burn copies of the Koran, saying that it was a Zionist plot […]
Furnish: The Unforgettable Fire
In “What Would Jesus Do with a Qur’an? Actually, He Might Burn It,” September 10, Tim Furnish details some of the crazy and violent reactions to the prospect of Qur’an-burning, and concludes: These over-the-top screeds of victimization are making Reverend Jones appear more and more sympathetic. Burning a Qur’an is “tantamount to war?!” Doing so […]

And so it begins: 11 injured in Afghanistan in protests against Qur’an-burning
Who is responsible for these injuries? Terry Jones? No — despite the best efforts of Barack Obama, General Petraeus and so many others to portray him as responsible for any violence in the Muslim world that may occur in response to his Qur’an-burning.

Plea deal possible for airline “underwear jihadist”
A plea deal. For an enemy combatant and jihadist who came so close to massacring hundreds, in a case that could not be more airtight in terms of evidence and witnesses. It should not be within the realm of possibility that Abdulmutallab could ever be a free man again. And yet, somehow, it is. What […]
Florida pastor says imam lied to him about Ground Zero mosque deal
It’s just difficult to imagine a “misunderstanding” arising over such a major point. Jones called off the Qur’an burning for the moment; now the onus ought to be on Imam Muhammad Musri to come clean about what he told Jones. Hopefully, there were witnesses. For something this important, there should have been, and must be […]
