Recipient of Omid Safi’s defamatory email has her Facebook account suddenly disabled
Yesterday I posted here about how lowlife UNC professor Omid Safi falsely claimed that I threatened to kill him and family. I also wrote this email to UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp, cc’ing Safi’s department head Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp, Safi’s wali and fellow UNC professor Carl Ernst, and Safi himself: Dr. Thorp: Professor Omid Safi has […]
Spencer interviewed on the Qur’an, Obama, Ron Paul and much more

Fitzgerald: “My Boy’s A Good Boy” Or, Ramy Zamzam, CAIR, and The New York Times
The ineffable New York Times carried a story last week, one that from first to last was designed – whether by the reporter, Scott Shane, or by his editors, is unknown – to tug at the heartstrings of the reader. And those heartstringed-tugged readers were to sympathize with the parents of Ramy Zamzam, one of […]
Spencer: Islamic War On Free Speech Heating Up
In Human Events this morning, I discuss four recent Islamic supremacist assaults on the freedom of speech in the United States: Four incidents recently showed anew how keenly Islamic supremacists want to shut down the freedom of speech–and how eager many Americans are to accommodate them. The most notorious incident was Comedy Central’s censorship of […]

Underwear jihadist rails against “the Jews and the Christians and their agents” in “martyrdom” video
And he cited verses from the Qur’an to justify his actions. Funny how that keeps happening. “Underwear Bomber: New Video of Training, Martyrdom Statements,” by Matthew Cole, Brian Ross, and Nasser Atta for ABC News, April 26: New videos produced by al Qaeda in Yemen show the accused underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and others […]
French Muslim in polygamy row: Hey, these ain’t wives, they’re mistresses
Clever man, this Lies. Gaming the System Alert: “French Muslim man hits back in polygamy row,” from Expatica, April 26 (thanks to Sr. Soph): A Muslim butcher who could be stripped of his French passport over allegations of polygamy hit back on Monday, insisting that he had not broken the law. Lies Hebbadj, an Algerian-born […]
Mauritania: Black students at Nouakchott University complain of “Arabisation”
As Hugh Fitzgerald has often noted here, Islam is a vehicle for Arab supremacism. The centrality given to Arabic, such that prayers cannot be offered and the Qur’an not properly recited in any other language, has led historically to clashes between Arab and non-Arab Muslims, with the former having a decided sense of superiority. “Negro-Mauritanians […]
U.K.: Atheist who mocked Islam and Christianity hit with “Anti-Social Behaviour Order” — but for which insult?
He also mocked the pope, but given the recent embarrassment over at the Foreign Office, the order, or “Asbo” can’t be about that. What if he just mocked Christian beliefs, and not Islam? Would authorities have pursued the case? And for that matter, if Taylor was accused of “causing religiously aggravated harassment, alarm or distress,” […]
