Clearly the Iranian mullahs conflate their regime with the direct rule of the deity. This presents our favorite stomach-stapled beekeeper, Honest Ibe Hooper, and his henchmen at Hamas-linked CAIR with a golden opportunity: they can demonstrate their firm commitment to Western non-religious government, and the non-establishment of religion (which commitment we all must take at […]

Hitchens on Islam: “What is needed from the supporters of this very confident faith is more self-criticism and less self-pity and self-righteousness”
In complaining that Muslims in the U.S. are simply facing a new outcropping of the xenophobic prejudice of the nineteenth century, Abdullah Antepli makes a point that Nicholas Kristof and others have recently made. It must have come from some CAIR talking points or some similarly limpid source. “Free Exercise of Religion? No, Thanks.The taming […]
Iranian Supremo: Iran should engage in intellectual jihad with West
The problem would be finding proponents of Western liberal democracy who have the requisite audacity to defend their own culture and civilization. Most are cringing dhimmis. I’ll be glad to do it, however. Call me, Khamenei. “Iran should engage in intellectual jihad with the West: Supreme Leader,” from the Mehr News Agency, September 6: Supreme […]
Iranian cleric says Holocaust “superstition”
Since they ascribe Israel’s existence to the Holocaust, they believe this denial strips the Jewish State of all legitimacy. “Senior Iranian cleric dismisses Nazi Holocaust as ‘superstition,’” from the Daily Mail, September 5 (thanks to all who sent this in): A senior Iranian cleric has dismissed the Nazi Holocaust during World War II as a […]
ABC News, Hamas-linked CAIR whipping up hysteria over “Islamophobia”
Here is just one of a cascade of mainstream media articles this week that paint Muslims as victims, using the same examples over and over: the Florida church Qur’an burning, the cabbie attack in New York, and the Tennessee church burning. In other words, they’re using one incident in which no Muslims will be harmed; […]
Pakistan: “Some Christian refugees are openly denied aid, while others are told to leave or convert to Islam”
Other non-Muslims are suffering the same kind of persecution. “Discrimination in aid: incidents and testimonies,” from Agencia Fides, September 4 (thanks to Amil Imani): […] Zubair Masih said: “I have come from Sukkur. We were overcome by waters and we lost everything. We went to a refugee camp near Thatta, but they did not allow […]
Surprise, surprise: Iran interfering with UN monitoring of nuke program
Why, if the mullahs have nothing to hide? “UN nuke agency says monitoring of Iran is hampered,” by George Jahn for Associated Press, September 6: VIENNA – The U.N. atomic agency says its monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities is being hampered because Tehran objects to giving some agency inspectors access to its program. The unusual […]
Afghans chant “death to America,” claim Obama behind Florida Qur’an-burning
Once again: This church’s plan to burn the Qur’an on September 11 is stupid; I disapprove of it and of many other things about the pastor, the church, and the church’s approach to the jihad threat. I don’t support the burning of books; it’s tactically stupid, as it will make the mainstream media portray the […]
Indonesian Islamic supremacists threaten retaliation for Florida Qur’an-burning
This church’s plan to burn the Qur’an on September 11 is stupid; I disapprove of it and of many other things about the pastor, the church, and the church’s approach to the jihad threat. I don’t support the burning of books; it’s tactically stupid, as it will make the mainstream media portray the church as […]
Mission Not Accomplished: Taliban, Sharia making comeback in Afghanistan
“…reconciliation with the Taliban will encourage conservative Islamic clerics and hard-line Islamists, including the moderate elements of the Taliban, to push for the implementation of a harsh justice system that would directly contradict the human-rights guarantees enshrined in the current Afghan Constitution.” Too late. The human rights guarantees enshrined in the current Afghan Constitution are […]
