Some time ago, my SIOA colleague Pamela Geller and I applied for a trademark registration for the name Stop Islamization Of America. It was rejected: the trademark office stated that “Islamization” meant “Islamic,” and that thus to say that Islamization must be stopped disparaged Muslims in general and linked them to terrorism. This is a […]

Muslim cleric: “Hitler was right to…do what he did to the Jews”
Mind you, Hussam Fawzi Jabar is an Islamic cleric. He has devoted his life to studying the Qur’an and Sunnah. And he doesn’t seem to have come across anything in that extensive study to make him reconsider his vile and genocidal anti-Semitism. Yet the myth persists that Islamic anti-Semitism is an import from Christianity or […]
Modern, moderate Indonesia: Mob of enraged Muslims attack mosque of heretical Muslim sect
The Ahmadis are considered heretics, and thus are fair game for this kind of persecution by mainstream Muslims. “Hundreds attack mosque,” from AFP, July 29 (thanks to Twostellas): JAKARTA – INDONESIAN police clashed with about 200 people on Thursday as the mob tried to attack a mosque in West Java belonging to a minority Islamic […]
Here we go again: U.S. reiterates backing of Pakistan’s “effort” against Al-Qaeda and Taliban
Despite all the evidence establishing that elements within the Pakistani government have aided Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, the U.S. is going to continue giving money to Pakistan and pretending that they’re fighting against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. After all, the money will never run out, right? “US backs Pak’s effort on war against terror,” from […]
British PM says Pakistan won’t be permitted to “export terror” — starting when?
The prime minister who has overreached in his fanciful definition of the “real Islam,” and fallen in line with jihadist propaganda by calling Gaza a “prison camp,” continues his losing streak in comments on Islamic jihad and foreign policy. Evidence of Pakistan’s double game far predates the WikiLeaks affair, which makes Cameron’s response dismally understated […]
FBI defends itself from charges it’s targeting Muslims; no one asks if any Muslims are targeting U.S.
Shock horror! The FBI spends more time on surveillance of Muslims than on surveillance of Amish! It’s racism! It’s “Islamophobia”! Tim McVeigh! Profiling! If only the facts weren’t so inconvenient, and Islamic jihadists weren’t still so active around the world. Not that the facts matter to these “civil liberties groups.” “FBI defends surveillance guidelines allegedly […]
Lower Manhattan Community Board denies landmark status for Islamic supremacist mega-mosque site at Ground Zero
But freedom-lovers once again showed up in force and made their voices heard. Above is video of remarks by my SIOA colleague Pamela Geller and by me. (Video courtesy the magnificent Pamela Hall.) The SIOA high command (Photo by longtime Jihad Watch commenter Awake — it was great to meet you!) Sharif El-Gamal (R), owner […]
Indonesia: Missionaries expelled for baptisms, converts from Islam sent to re-education camp
In the West, Islamic spokesmen always insist that Islam supports the freedom of conscience, and the freedom to change one’s religion. These people must be reading that notorious Misunderstood Qur’an. Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate Indonesia: “Missionary trio leave Aceh after anger at baptisms,” by Toni O’Loughlin in the Sydney Morning Herald, July 24 […]
Indonesian government releases new translation of the Qur’an, designed to reduce “potential to breed radicalism”
The Qur’an has been around for 1,400 years, and so has jihad violence, but now the Indonesian government has discovered the key: it’s all because of a faulty translation, doncha know! And now I am very happy to announce that I too have come into the possession of the Secret Decoder Ring hitherto solely in […]
New York City mosques to get extra protection during Ramadan
This Bloomberg News article says matter-of-factly that there has been “a rise this year in the number of hate crimes against Muslims,” and that’s why these extra police patrols are needed at New York City mosques during Ramadan. And certainly if there is any actual threat against these mosques, they warrant the extra police protection, […]
