Jihad Watch reader Mike read this post about a New York Times article in which the author, James C. McKinley, Jr., noted that Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar” before he started on his mass-murder spree, and then said, “Yet the gunman and his motive remain an enigma.” McKinley did mention the “Allahu […]

Merkel: Multiculturalism has “utterly failed” in Germany
Of course it has. It was based on faulty assumptions: namely, that all cultures essentially share the same values and aspirations for the future. That all cultures are in agreement on some fundamental level on what “freedom,” “dignity,” “justice,” and “human rights” mean, in line with the expectations that Western cultures hold for those terms.

Canada: 13-year-old Muslim girl beaten to death amid ongoing dispute over prayers
“Her father called 911 on Wednesday, saying he had ‘slapped’ his daughter during an argument at their apartment.” Maybe he forgot he was under Canadian law for a moment, as Islamic law is curiously less gung-ho about penalties for parents who kill their children, especially when one stops to think of what’s higher on the […]

Islamic supremacist groups in the U.S. use threats and intimidation against all who challenge them, also — and so it is no surprise that an Islamic school in Minnesota that is receiving public funding would be trafficking in the same thing with investigators and those who are challenging it in […]

New York Times can’t figure out Fort Hood jihadist’s motive
It’s not enough for them that he shouted “Allahu akbar!” before he started shooting. After all, they know that Islam is a Religion of Peaceâ„¢ and that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle. “At Hearing on Fort Hood Attack, Few Clues,” by James C. McKinley, Jr., for the New York Times, October 15 (thanks to […]
Sharif El-Gamal contradicts Daisy Khan on Ground Zero mega-mosque
In one of an apparently endless series of fawning, softball interviews from the mainstream media (just once I’d like to see Sharif El-Gamal get interviewed the way Pamela Geller does or I do on a routine basis), thug Ground Zero mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal actually has the gall to complain about the media treatment he […]

That campaign has been going on for a long time, as we have documented exhaustively here. “Bishops Warn of Campaign to Drive Christianity From Iraq,” from AINA, October 16: Ecumenical and interreligious dialogue were the focus Friday morning during the 8th General Congregation of the Synod of Bishops for the Middle East.
