Thai Jihad Update. “Bomb near mosque kills soldier in Thai south,” from Reuters, January 29 (thanks to Twostellas): PATTANI, Thailand (Reuters) – A bomb killed a soldier in the compound of a mosque in southern Thailand […]
Bahrain has no plans to close legal loophole allowing for child brides
“The government prompted a storm of controversy last year when it pushed through a law which set the minimum marriage age for girls at 15. Lawmakers from the largest opposition bloc in the Bahraini Parliament had opposed the legislation, saying it went against Islamic principles.” Now wait a minute. Islamic apologists in the West are […]
Geert Wilders: On trial for telling the truth
My friend Douglas Murray has a great piece in the Telegraph on the Wilders case: “Geert Wilders: on trial for telling the truth,” January 28: […] The Dutch courts charge that Wilders ‘on multiple occasions, at least once, (each time) in public, orally, in writing or through images, intentionally offended a group of people, i.e. […]

Oriana Fallaci also compared the Qur’an to Mein Kampf, as I wrote about in a 2005 article. The Wilders case could backfire badly on the smooth Islamic supremacist thugs of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and their Dutch dhimmi puppets. They are hoping to silence criticism of Islam, and yet the trial could show […]
Iran executes two dissidents for “waging war against Allah”
Surely opposing the oppressive regime in Iran is not really to oppose the peaceful and tolerant Allah of the Qur’an, is it? Surely moderate and peaceful Muslims in the U.S. will be eager to step forward and explain just how and why the Islamic Republic actually misunderstands Islam. Honest Ibe Hooper is probably readying a […]
Saudi Arabia: Christian migrant workers forced to convert to Islam
Qur’an 2:256 says there is “no compulsion in religion,” and apologists often cite this verse to claim no one can be converted to Islam under duress. Claims about outright “compulsion” aside (and even then, a dhimmi must hope for well-behaved overlords), there certainly is an elaborate culture of coercion in Islamic law, with subtle and […]
