New York state high school exam slams Christianity, praises Islam
“Christian buildings often constructed on sites of destroyed native temples in order to symbolize and emphasize the substitution of one religion by the other.” That certainly happened in Christian history, but it happened much more frequently in Islamic history — as with the Ground Zero mega-mosque today. “HS test ‘slams’ Christianity, lauds Islam,” by Yoav […]
Chinese arrest four Muslims after jihad bomb attack
No doubt they’re enraged over the opposition to the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero. That’s why Muslims like Reza Aslan are seething with anger these days, isn’t it? Or is it over the Israeli incursion into Gaza? No, that was last year’s outrage. Have you noticed — as I have often pointed out — […]
State Dept “aware” of Ground Zero Imam Rauf’s Islamic supremacist remarks, but doesn’t care
The renowned “moderate” Imam of the Ground Zero mega-mosque is suffering from some cracks in his facade of moderation. Pamela Geller broke the story here: among many other incendiary statements, Rauf said, “We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on […]

Three Muslims in Germany charged with aiding Islamic jihad groups
Alican T., Fatih K, and Filiz G. Ah yes, names redolent of old Bavaria. Doubtless these “Germans” do not have and never did have any allegiance to Germany. Eurabia Update: “3 Germans face terrorism charges linked to radical Islamic groups,” from The Associated Press, August 25: BERLIN — German prosecutors say they have charged two […]
Afghan police recruit kills two Spanish soldiers during “mentoring session”
What do Afghan police recruiters do to guard against increasing Taliban infiltration? Why, nothing, of course. Since there is no clear difference between the Afghan police and the Taliban in terms of their understanding of Islam, despite the near-universal assumption in the West that the Islam of the Taliban is a “hijacked” version held only […]
Huffington Post comes out for honor killings, runs false story that SIOA anti-honor killings taxi ads were pulled
Our SIOA campaign defending victims of honor killing ran its course in Chicago, but the false story went around yesterday that the ads had been pulled. “Yellow Cab Will Stop Running Anti-Islam Ads,” said the Huffington Post, August 24, and explained: Pamela Geller, who has been dubbed the “Queen of Muslim Bashers” and leads the […]
Sharif El-Gamal vs. Daisy Khan and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf on the location of the Ground Zero mega-mosque
"Canny operative" “Muhammad Comes to Manhattan” by Mark Jacobson in New York Magazine, August 22, is just the sort of piece you’d expect from an ignorant Leftist journalist/propagandist who has his reservations about the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, but his kneejerk cultural Leftism won’t let him express them.
