Islamic hate preacher: Banning the burqa in France will make more Muslims support al-Qaeda
Let’s ponder that line of reasoning for a moment, because there are many in the West who would argue on similar assumptions. Omar Bakri would have us believe (and some will) that the ban will cause “radicalization,” and it will be our fault. In other words, acts by non-Muslims throw a magical “radicalization” switch in […]
Hamas top dog: “This is our plan for this stage – to liberate the West Bank and Gaza, without recognizing Israel’s right to a single inch of land, and without giving up the Right of Return for a single Palestinian refugee”
But deep down, they really, really, want peace! “Hamas Leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: Our Plan Is to Establish a Palestinian State Without Recognizing Israel and Without Giving Up the Right of Return,” from MEMRITV, June 15: Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar, which aired on Future News TV on June 15, […]
Three Detroit-area mosques holding service to mourn pro-jihad terror Hizballah cleric
Fadlallah, who green-lighted the 1983 barracks bombing that murdered 241 Americans, is dead. CNN’s Octavia Nasr, who is in mourning as are the people in these mosques, unwittingly reveals, in the “clarification” of her infamous tweet, why anyone who mourns this man ought to be watched very closely by law enforcement: …The interview went 45 […]
Ahmadis branded as heretics, viciously persecuted in Pakistan
In this LA Times piece, journalist Alex Rodriguez (taking time off from playing third base for the New York Yankees, I guess) suggests that those who persecute the Ahmadis are merely “illiterates” who are swayed by “radical imams.” But there is an inconsistency here, because the government and police don’t help the Ahmadis either. Are […]
Former NASA chief says Obama’s idea that the agency should be devoted to outreach to Muslims is “deeply flawed”
Common sense. An update on this story. “Former NASA Director Says Muslim Outreach Push ‘Deeply Flawed,’” by Judson Berger for FoxNews.com, July 6 (thanks to Mackie): The former head of NASA on Tuesday described as “deeply flawed” the idea that the space exploration agency’s priority should be outreach to Muslim countries, after current Administrator Charles […]
A cure for what ails you
I was speaking in Sweden yesterday, and during the Q&A a Muslim presented with the little box of “Islamophobia” pills I’m holding in the photo above. It’s a clever little piece, if you like that sort of thing, listing the ingredients of this “cure” for “Islamophobia” as “multiculturalism,” “open-mindedness,” and the like. But of course […]
Spencer: Muslims lying about Islamic atrocities
In Human Events today, I discuss the denial and obfuscation of Islamic spokesmen regarding human rights abuses within their own communities: As Muslims around the world continue to deny basic human rights to women and non-Muslims, Muslim spokesmen maintain a pattern of denial and deception. Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, a 43-year-old Iranian woman, is facing death […]
CNN’s Mideast editor writes on Twitter: “Sad to hear of the passing of Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah … one of Hezbollah’s giants I respect a lot”
Her own words, in a tribute to the cleric who green-lighted Hizballah’s suicide attacks, including the 1983 barracks bombing that killed 241 Americans. “One of Hizballah’s giants,” indeed. “CNN reporter on terrorist: ‘I respect him a lot’,” by Aaron Klein for World Net Daily, July 5: TEL AVIV – CNN’s senior Middle East affairs editor […]
Sharia courts in the U.K.: “these privatized legal processes were ignoring not only state law intervention and due process but providing little protection and safety for the women”
The founder of the Council of Ex-Muslims in Britain ably catalogs all the things that are wrong with what is advertised as “just a little” Sharia in the U.K. A full-length report in .pdf format is linked below. “What isn’t wrong with Sharia law?” by Maryam Namazie for the Guardian, July 5: The recent global […]
