Somebody opposes the niqab ban Irony. “Bill discriminates against Muslims: protesters,” from CBC News, April 18 (thanks to Patrick): About 60 women, a third donning the Muslim veil, demonstrated Saturday in front of Montreal City Hall and demanded the province scrap legislation that would require anyone receiving public services to show their face. Bill 94 […]

Osama bin Laden’s Facebook page draws 1,000+ fans before it’s shut down
Of course, Osama probably wasn’t operating it. But a clear jihad sympathizer was, and he attracted a large number of Islamic supremacist fans. “‘Osama Bin Laden’ Facebook Page Shut Down: Facebook Page in Terrorist’s Name Drew Hundreds of Fans,” by Lara Setrakian for ABC News, April 17 (thanks to all who sent this in): A […]
Yemeni lawmaker: “When a certain age [for marriage] is set, it violates the rights of others. For example, imagine a young man of 13 or 14 years of age who wants to have sex. … This is a violation of his rights”
How ’bout that logic. And the priorities. Hamzi at once argues in the name of “freedom” for the absence of a minimum age of marriage, and insists it’s not really a problem anyway. Then, what accounts for the ferocity of the opposition? Muhammad’s example does, along with the esteem in which his conduct is held […]
Taliban commander: Goal of fighting is to impose Islamic law
How about that. That, after all, is the aim of jihad in general. And while this story makes a point of branding the Taliban’s enforcement of sharia as “antiquated and regressive,” the penalty it singles out as an example, amputation, is found in the Qur’an more than once (5:33, 5:38). The reporter probably thought she […]
Gates: Hey, actually we are prepared for Iran’s nukes
Looks as if someone got a tongue-lashing in the Oval Office. Unless you’d prefer to believe that some plans were drawn up with remarkable swiftness. An update on this story: “Gates says US is prepared on Iran’s nuclear plan,” by Calvin Woodward for Associated Press, April 18: WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Robert Gates asserted Sunday […]
What Pat Condell knows about Islam
“Through my studies, I became aware that this is the time for jihad and fighting the infidels, and I saw that a jihad was going on in Afghanistan…I was happy to be in a place where I could kill unbelievers”
How is it that Abdul Baseer could memorize the Qur’an and miss all of its teachings of peace, and get the idea that jihad had something to do with killing unbelievers? How did this obviously pious and serious Muslim become a Misunderstander of Islam? You’d think that accounts like this would create some cognitive dissonance […]
Pakistani prosecutor: U.S. jihadis contacted Al-Qaeda top dog
“Akhtar has been arrested twice before – in the United Arab Emirates in 2004 and by Pakistani authorities in 2008 – but released each time for unknown reasons.” Now, that’s interesting. Surely he wasn’t released because authorities in the U.A.E. and Pakistan were sympathetic to jihad — naah, that couldn’t be it. An update on […]
The American Muslim lies about me again; retraction requested
The American Muslim likes to wring its hands about “Islamophobia.” Here’s a tip for Sheila Musaji: if you want people not to dislike and be suspicious of Muslims, stop acting in such a sleazy, dishonest manner. I just sent this email to Sheila Musaji: Ms Musaji: http://www.theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/hutaree_christian_militia_not_an_isolated_phenomena/0018035 In that article you quote from my article […]
Ohio: Muslim arrested after AK 47s, semiautomatic rifle, 1,000 pounds of ammo, pipe bomb materials found in home
Abdullah Muhammad Muslim, the former Johnnie Clagg No doubt Abdullah Muhammad Muslim intended to fashion pipe bombs of peace. Columbus, Ohio — I wonder if Abdullah Muhammad Muslim goes to the mosque whose members informed Rifqa Bary’s parents that she had converted to Christianity. In any case, note that he is yet another prison convert. […]
