“[Religion on the ID] can cost people their jobs. It has been known to affect whether they get a job or not, how people look at them, whether they are accepted for a post or an application of some sort. Therefore I think [the ruling] is a good and appropriate thing.” Islamic Tolerance Alert from […]

“Wilders trial the most determined statement of dhimmitude we’ve yet seen in Europe”
A stupendous video from Pat Condell on the Wilders trial — Dutch authorities have put Wilders is on trial “for the crime of embarrassing them with the truth.” “When the truth is against the law, there is something seriously wrong with the law.”
“Egypt is going in new directions that are starting to affect the harmony between religions. This attitude is evident not only among ordinary Muslims but among top government and Islamic officials.”
The very first line — “Father Metyas Mankarios ministers to garbage men” — flies right by but actually it is telling. Islamic law for dhimmis forbids them to hold authority over Muslims, so they generally occupied the most menial positions in society. Thus this is not just evidence of “discrimination,” but of the lingering effects, […]
Thug-In-Chief: “The Iranian nation is now standing against the US more firmly, more powerfully, more revolutionarily and more vigilantly than 31 years ago and they will stand so (in future)”
But…but…wasn’t Obama supposed to usher in a new era of mutual respect between the U.S. and Iran? Instead, Islam as a “political force … from Morocco to Malaysia” is more belligerent than ever. “Ahmadinejad Lauds Iran’s Mightiness in Post-Revolution Era,” from the Fars News Agency, February 6 (thanks to Mo): TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud […]
Fitzgerald: Sabrina Tavernise, the Times, and What Would Be Fit for the Printer
Sabrina Tavernise reports in today’s New York Times — a story that begins on the front-page, and continues at great length inside — about the rape and beating to death of a 12-year-old Pakistani girl by her employer, a rich and prominent member of the Lahore bar. The story is very long, and I read […]
New York: Muslim chaplain who smuggled box cutters into prison is convicted murderer
More prison jihad. How did this man get to be approved as a chaplain? Was his adherence to the Religion of Peaceâ„¢ enough to allay any concerns about his record? The New York Post story below is essentially the same story I commented upon here, but the essential detail of Zulqarnain Abdu-Shahid’s murder conviction has […]
Senior Amnesty International official accuses it of putting rights of jihadis before those of their victims
Not surprising at all, given the Leftist/Jihadist alliance that manifests itself in so many areas. “Amnesty International is ‘damaged’ by Taliban link,” by Richard Kerbaj for The Sunday Times, February 7 (thanks to Sr. Soph): A SENIOR official at Amnesty International has accused the charity of putting the human rights of Al-Qaeda terror suspects above […]
Hamas: We’re sorry about civilian casualties — wait, no we aren’t
This report remarks that “the zigzag reflects the Islamic militants’ conflicting objectives,” but Hamas has only one objective: destroying Israel in order to impose Islamic rule. It is only the tactics that vary. “Hamas backtracks on missile apology,” from the Associated Press, February 6: GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The Hamas government in Gaza distanced […]
Pakistan: Muslim lawyers group threatens to “burn alive” anyone who defends murdered 12-year-old Christian
Now I know why Shakespeare said, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” (No, I am not advocating mass lawyercide. Although certainly Pakistan would be perhaps marginally saner without the gentle influence of the Lahore Bar Association.) “Lahore, Muslim lawyers will “burn alive” anyone who defends murdered 12 year old Christian,” by […]
Indonesia: Constitutional Court considers amendments to blasphemy law
Indonesia’s blasphemy law is a case study in why such laws against insulting or defaming religions, as championed by the likes of the OIC, should be flatly rejected in the West. On the surface, they may sound well-intended and even-handed: indeed, wouldn’t the world be a swell place if everybody would just be nice? But, […]
