In his Cairo address, Obama spoke in defense of the rights of Muslim women who want to wear the hijab if they so choose. Where is he for those who choose not to wear it but are forced, as is happening in Chechnya right now? Those who are suffering under the steady encroachment of Sharia […]

92% of Afghans have never heard of 9/11, think U.S. is in country to “destroy Islam”
Note the siege mentality: why the leap to the conclusion that the U.S. must have gratuitously entered Afghanistan in order to “destroy Islam”? And with the U.S. building hospitals and schools and roads in Afghanistan, the notion is laughable — but that never stopped the conspiracy paranoia before. “Think tank: 92% of Afghans never heard […]
Afghanistan: Convert from Islam to Christianity faces capital trial for apostasy
Said Musa faces death for apostasy from a government the U.S. installed and in accordance with a Constitution that the U.S. endorsed. An update on this story. “Afghan Christian faces trial for alleged conversion from Islam,” by Matiullah Mati for CNN, November 21 (thanks to Mackie): An Afghan Christian, detained for months for allegedly converting […]
Iran’s Thug-In-Chief woos Pakistan, calls on Muslims to replace “extremism” with “Islamic thoughts”
Yeah, be like him! Note how even a genocidally-inclined, bloodthirsty authoritarian like Ahmadinejad can denounce “extremism” in favor of an authentic version of Islam: when Muslims in the West speak this way, their non-Muslim hearers all assume they’re saying that Muslims should renounce violence and supremacism and coexist peacefully as equals with non-Muslims in a […]
Prosecutors: Pete Seda was well aware he was helping fund Chechen jihadists
Still, the defense pleads that Seda “has been a respected community leader and a strong force for peace and inter-faith harmony” in his own town. In Chechnya, well, not so much. More on this story. “Government seeks maximum for Seda,” by Mark Freeman for the Mail Tribune, November 19 (thanks to S.): Convicted money-launderer and […]
Pakistani backers of Mumbai jihadists told them to take as many hostages as possible, and demand Islamic state
The ultimate goal of jihad in all its forms is the imposition of Islamic law. This is the common thread in numerous, bloody wars being fought in places far removed from one another, including Thailand, Mindanao in the Philippines, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Somalia, and Chechnya. “‘Demand Muslim state, terrorists were told’,” by Shibu Thomas for […]
Afghanistan: Taliban bicycle bombers kill 4 civilians
Imagine if the initiative and resourcefulness put into inflicting wave after wave of slaughter in Islamic jihad were instead put into something constructive. But, alas, there are priorities: Allah promises paradise to those who “slay and are slain” in his cause (Qur’an 9:111). “Bicycle bombers kill 4 and wound 31 in east Afghanistan,” by Rafiq […]
UN censures Iran for human rights abuses, Iran’s “top human rights official” defends stoning
Being “Iran’s top human rights official” is like being Nazi Germany’s foremost Jewish rights advocate. “UN Moves to Censure Iran for Human Rights,” by Amy Kellogg for FoxNews.com, November 19 (thanks to all who sent this in): On Thursday a U.N. committee voted to censure Iran for its human rights abuses, including its crackdown on […]
Report: Napolitano considering Hamas-linked CAIR’s demands for Muslim women in airports, including the “self-pat-down”
The Department of Homeland Security needs to clarify its position here without delay. CAIR advised Muslim women in the press release quoted here that: “Instead of the pat-down, you can always request to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck area”… Two facts should be self-evident to demonstrate how outrageous this idea is. […]
Feds seek eight-year prison term for Islamic charity founder convicted of conspiring to fund Chechen jihad
Funny how these cases with Islamic charities keep coming up. One reason they do is that, while the Western understanding of charities draws a sharp distinction between combatant and non-combatant roles and places charitable work firmly in the latter camp, the Islamic tradition does not. Qur’an 9:60 includes “those fighting in the cause of Allah” […]
