Sanger and Thom Shanker in the New York Times, April 17 (thanks to Sr. Soph): WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert M.

Muslims pleased with Obama’s appeasement, but want to see more
Ignoring the jihad threat, appeasing jihadist Pakistan — all this and more is in Obama’s favor, as far as Omar Sacirbey is concerned. But he still has to do more! It’s never enough! “Obama walks the talk in new Muslim outreach,” by Omar Sacirbey for the Religion News Service, April 15 (thanks to Mackie): Nearly […]
Ohio: Muslim bank employee sues, says he was fired because he was Muslim
More precisely, he says he was fired because he filed a complaint with the EEOC, claiming he was being harassed for being a Muslim. In any case, lots of people have unpleasant work environments, and have to work with people who are rude or unkind or cruel to them. So what? It’s a part of […]
Iranian cleric says immodest dress, extramarital sex cause earthquakes
Causing tremors “We have no way but conform to Islam to ward off dangers.” This is, of course, a completely unprovable assertion. Because even if every Iranian heeded the addled and apparently sex-obsessed Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi and did his or her best to cut out the extracurricular activities and immodest dress, human nature being what […]
Iranian supremo continues his comedy act, calls U.S. nukes “a tool of collective intimidation and terror”
Stop it, you’re killing me Projection Alert: of course it is Iran’s nuclear program that is a tool of terror and intimidation, and Iran that is deceptively calling for non-proliferation. But Khamenei here accuses his enemies of what he himself is doing — a recurring pattern among Islamic jihadists. “Iran calls US nukes tool of […]
Chicago: Muslim who murdered family on orders from “Allah” now the victim, “suffering greatly” in jail
This Chicago Sun-Times story, after being more honest than AP by noting that Larry killed all these people because he believed he had some responsibility before Allah to do so, makes sure to include the standard disclaimer from a local Muslim group — the kind of thing that is usually as a matter of course […]
India: Muslims attack, torture Hindus, loot and burn Hindu shops
From Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs: This is a daily struggle wherever Muslims have gained a majority. In the state of West Bengal, in India bordering Bangla Desh, Muslims infiltrated over the last few decades to such an extent that today they are 30% of the population of the state. In many villages bordering Bangla […]
Egypt: Muslims attack with acid girl who converted to Christianity — after fatwas call for spilling of her father’s blood
Dina el-Gowhary’s father, Peter Athanasius, is a convert also. Our religious freedom bus ads in Miami, pictured above, were pulled by Miami-Dade Transit for being “offensive to Islam.” CAIR’s Muhammed Malik said: “Islam guarantees freedom to and freedom from religion.” Will he then issue a public statement in support of Dina el-Gowhary and Peter Athanasius? […]
Turkey: Two-day-old girl murdered in honor killing
Misunderstanders of Islam commit yet another honor killing — this time of a two-day-old girl — in modern, moderate, secular Turkey. “Two-day-old girl killed in ‘honour killing,’” from Reuters, April 17 (thanks to Thomas): Turkish police on Friday detained an unmarried mother and six other people near Istanbul for their suspected role in the so-called […]
Pakistan: Jihadists dressed in burqas murder 41 in double jihad/martyrdom bombing
War Is Deceit, after all, but I can’t help but wonder about the implications of stories like this for the West. Multiculturalists are in a tizzy about attempts to ban the burqa in France and elsewhere, and American officials apologize profusely for asking a Muslim woman to remove her hijab (which is, of course, a […]
