Pamela Geller sums it up: The war against free speech is raging all over the West. Wilders is still on trial. Juan Williams was fired. There is a 10-million-dollar lawsuit against me. And in Austria, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, who spoke at our FDI event at CPAC in February 2010, is also facing trial for telling the […]

Israeli FM: Catholic Bishops’ Synod “has become a forum for political attacks on Israel in the best history of Arab propaganda”
According to this report, the Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop Cyril Bustros “then escalated the situation by declaring that the original promises made by God to the children of Israel ‘were nullified by Christ. There is no longer a chosen people.’” If this is accurate, then it must be said that in his haste to parrot […]
Iran restricts social sciences in its universities, saying they’re based on Western principles and “un-Islamic”
It is a very revealing list of disciplines for which Iran’s leadership has voiced objections: “law, philosophy, management, psychology, political science … women’s studies and human rights.” The rights to free inquiry and dissent have been fundamental to the intellectual freedom that has allowed Western universities to flourish and vault ahead of the Islamic world, […]
CAIR’s Ahmed Rehab and the use of ridicule
Lipstick? Eye shadow? You be the judge Islamic supremacists are wholly intellectually bereft. They cannot answer the arguments of anti-jihadists, since anti-jihadists in general simply explicate what is in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and show how jihadists act upon these texts and teachings. So since they cannot engage their opponents on the level of ideas, […]

Iran: Another convicted thief’s hand amputated
“As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands. It is the reward of their own deeds, an exemplary punishment from Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.” — Qur’an 5:38 “The Center for Security Policy wants Americans to think that stoning and amputations are around the corner, but the report can’t quite explain […]
Afghanistan: Jihad/martyrdom bombers attack UN office
“Wearing police uniforms and burqas” — again indicating that there is substantial reason to ban the burqa in Western countries: you never know who or what might be under it. “Suicide bombers attack UN office in Afghan city,” by Aref Karimi for AFP, October 23 (thanks to Weasel Zippers): HERAT, Afghanistan — Four suicide bombers […]
Egyptian Islamic scholar: we must conduct jihad against the West
And clearly he means military action, not interior spiritual struggle. All the schools of Islamic jurisprudence agree that when a non-Muslim force enters a Muslim land, jihad becomes the individual obligation of every Muslim (fard ‘ayn) rather than a collective obligation of the entire umma, from which one is released if others are taking it […]
Geller on Islam’s “week of dialogue”: “I don’t think the American people need an education. I think that the Islamic supremacists need some sensitivity training.”
Pamela Geller, who is interviewed in this article, comments on it here: “The American people are sick of being deceived and misled. Stop talking, start acting. Let’s see Muslim supremacist groups lay down their arms against those of us who are exposing and reporting on jihad, and instead take up the fight against the jihadist […]
