At FrontPage this morning I discuss Google’s self-censorship regarding Islam, which still continues (I just checked it again — try it for yourself by typing in “Christianity is” and “Islam is” and comparing what you get for suggestions) days after the Googlebots said they would fix this “bug”: Google, the Internet’s ubiquitous search engine, is […]

Saving face: supervisors who did nothing about Fort Hood shooter’s jihad tendencies could be punished
This is just face-saving and window dressing. As long as the military remains pro-Sharia and pro-Islam, and refuses to explore or discuss the elements of Islam that jihadists use to justify violence and terror, there will be more Nidal Hasans. “Officers could face rebuke in Ft. Hood shooting,” by Anne Gearan for The Associated Press, […]
Steyn: Dutch court “is explicitly attempting to criminalize the political opinions of a large swath of the Dutch electorate”
Mark Steyn on the imminent prosecution of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands (thanks to the peerless Kathy Shaidle): …in the Netherlands and other European countries, the political elite understands that there are frictions between an ever more assertive Muslim population and an ever more resentful “native” working class, but that, with the usual careless confidence […]
Seattle jihadist gets life sentence for Jewish Federation murders
Soldier of Islam Haq, like virtually all other jihadists, played the victim, blaming inadequate mental health care. He was singing a different tune when he called his family after the shootings — back then he called himself a “soldier of Islam.” “Haq apologizes, receives life sentence for Jewish Federation shooting,” by Jennifer Sullivan for the […]
Fitzgerald: For the Obama Administration, sometimes the Constitution is a suicide pact
We all remember Jo, the Fat Boy in Dickens, who was always exclaiming: “I wants to make your flesh creep.” The Obama Administration does not intend to make your flesh creep, to make the goosebumps of fear rise as you recognize the calamitous lapse, more than a lapsus calami, of judgment, not a corrigible typo […]
Egypt’s soccer team: No Infidels need apply
But remember: those who report on stories such as this are the haters, not people like Hassan Shehata. Islamic Tolerance Alert from Egypt: “Egypt’s soccer boss says piety key to making team,” by Hamza Hendawi for the Associated Press, January 14 (thanks to Block Ness): CAIRO — The coach of Egypt’s national soccer team says […]
Gaza residents enraged over Hamas’ attempts to provoke civilian casualties
Israel has been roundly and repeatedly condemned by the UN and pretty much everyone else for civilian casualties in Gaza. We have repeatedly pointed out that there are numerous signs (including open admissions) that jihad groups in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon intentionally mount attacks from civilian areas in order to draw responses from […]
Clerics in Yemen misunderstand Islam, warn of jihad if U.S. sends troops
Zindani: Yemen’s most influential cleric — and Al-Qaeda-linked The caption to the AP photo above identifies Sheikh Abdel-Majid al-Zindani as “Yemen’s most influential Islamic cleric” who is also “considered an al-Qaida-linked terrorist by the United States.” Now wait a minute. How can al-Zindani be “Yemen’s most influential Islamic cleric” as well as “an al-Qaida-linked terrorist”? […]
OneWorld 2011: Ambitious project launched in Dubai to dispel “stereotypes” of Islam
Of course, if Islamic countries really want to dispel “stereotypes” of Islam, they could move energetically against Islamic supremacist initiatives in all their forms, and triumphalist proclamations by Islamic clerics of how Islam will soon take over Europe and the West, and rein in those who commit violence and justify it with reference to Islamic […]
Spencer: Political Correctness Claims 13 Lives at Fort Hood
In Human Events this morning I discuss the recent revelations confirming that Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan’s Islamic supremacist tendencies were repeatedly overlooked by his cowed and politically correct superiors, who kept promoting him instead of removing him from the military: It’s official: political correctness prevented Fort Hood assassin Nidal Hasan’s Army superiors from acting […]
