“If you allow governments to censor one kind of speech, you open the door to censorship of all kinds of speech.” Indeed. It is good to see the ACLU on the right side of these issues for once. “N.J. ACLU to sue NJ Transit for firing employee who burned Koran on 9/11 anniversary,” from NJ.com, […]

Islamic supremacists prevent construction of church in Kuwait
Islamic law forbids dhimmi communities to build new houses of worship or repair old ones, so the Kuwait City Municipal Council is here simply acting in accord with classic Sharia principles, although these principles are not being consistently applied. “Islamic fundamentalists preventing the construction of a church in Kuwait,” from Asia News, November 5: Kuwait […]
Former jihadist in Norway at center of controversy over Saudi-funded mosque
Note how Hegghammer and Roche are determined to minimize the ideological component of Wenham’s involvement with jihad groups, saying he just wanted to hang with the blokes. But Wenham himself puts it succinctly: “I wanted to be a good Muslim and I said yes.” Why did he think joining jihad groups would make him a […]
Texas Congressman: Pentagon still hasn’t admitted that “radical Islamic terrorism” caused Fort Hood jihad mass-murder
As opposed to “moderate Islamic terrorism,” I guess. But in any case, Congressman Carter’s main point is sound. “Carter: Radical Islam Still Not Acknowledged As Cause Of Post Rampage,” from KWTX.com, November 5: WASHINGTON (November 5, 2010)–On the first anniversary of the deadly shooting at Fort Hood, Rep. John Carter, R-Round Rock, issued a statement […]
Iran bans weightlifter for life for standing next to Israeli at awards ceremony
The thing about this is that the now-banned Iranian weightlifter was completely ungracious about it. Note in the video above that he refuses to shake the Israeli champion’s hand, and keeps his head down sullenly during the playing of the Israeli National Anthem. But that wasn’t nasty and antisemitic enough for his Islamic supremacist masters […]

Obama’s security dog named “Khan,” Muslims outraged, issue threats, demand apology
“To name a dog a Muslim name by US security agencies is to deliberately incite the Muslim community.” So if Islamic supremacist idiots start rioting and killing people over this, it will be America’s fault, you see. “Obama’s security dog named ‘Khan’: Muslims irked,” from Rediff, November 5 (thanks to all who sent this in): […]
Maryland man gets year in prison, $3,000 fine for sending threatening email to mosque — why the double standard?
There is no excuse for threats of violence sent through emails to people with whom one disagrees. It is noteworthy, however, that there have been no arrests or even any significant investigation of these emailed death threats and others like them that I have received. Why the double standard? “Robert Spencer has his right to […]
Bosnian Muslims post tribute video to Nazi ally Hajj Amin al-Husseini, Mufti of Jerusalem
Pamela Geller recalls: “During World War II, the Mufti lived in Berlin, where he met Hitler and traveled in top Nazi circles (he even stayed in Hitler’s bunker toward the end of the war). Among his close friends was Adolf Eichmann, who is commonly thought to be the architect of the Holocaust. Journalist Maurice Pearlman, […]
Convert to Islam, founder of pro-jihad website, dies in Taliban captivity
Bitten by the dog she fed In the early years of Jihad Watch I linked to Jihad Unspun several times to illustrate jihadist perspectives on various matters. The site’s founder, Khadija Abdul Qahaar, the former Beverly Giesbrecht, was a Canadian convert to Islam who, you guessed it, misunderstood her peaceful religion. And despite her open […]
