Reza Aslan: Obama should be “standing up to Israel”
Reza Aslan is a Board member of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), which is widely regarded as a mouthpiece for the viciously antisemitic, genocidal mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. So it should come as no surprise that he is agitating now for the United States government to strong-arm its most reliable ally […]
France warns citizens: Jihad attack in Britain “highly likely”
Of course, French authorities didn’t say “jihad attack,” but it is clear that that’s what they meant. Oddly enough, they just don’t seem to be as concerned about Christian extremists as they are about Islamic jihadists. Moral equivalence is fine as a rhetorical trick on rigged chat shows, but it doesn’t fly when it comes […]

Muslim Brotherhood top dog: “The U.S. is now experiencing the beginning of its end, and is heading towards its demise”
He said it. He must be a Misunderstander of Islam, also: he said that Muslims “need to understand that the improvement and change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life.” “Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide: […]
Dutch kangaroo court hears Muslims’ complaints against Wilders
“My family and I no longer feel safe in the Netherlands because Mr. Wilders is continually making hateful remarks about Islamic Dutch people.” Have they been attacked? Why, no. Have marauding bands of Dutch “youth” chanting Wilders’ name attacked innocent Muslims, torched mosques, burned (gasp!) the Qur’an? Why, no. Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh […]
Puzzler: Religious intolerance rising among Indonesian Muslims
Gee, I wonder why? Of course, the answer is that Indonesia is experiencing an Islamic revival. The opposition to building churches and non-Muslims teaching Muslims is in accord with classic Sharia principles. “Religious intolerance rising among Indonesian Muslims,” by Mathias Hariyadi for Asia News, October 5 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Recent surveys […]
Muslim killed by U.S. drone in Pakistan linked to Times Square jihad bomber, was planning to set up Taliban branch in Britain
And Reuters identifies him as a “British man” and a “Briton.” Was his “Britishness,” if it existed in any meaningful way at all beyond a convenient citizenship classification, really the motivating factor in Abdul Jabbar’s activities? Or could it possibly have been something else moving him to plot to commit mass murder? Hmmm, now what […]
Michigan State University’s School of Journalism publishes manual for journalists to help them whitewash Islamic jihad
Pamela Geller has noted the same tendency to whitewash the way in which Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism on the part of the Society of Professional Journalists, here. The problem with these guidelines are many. One main problem with them is that while they urge journalists […]
Wilders show trial views Fitna
Hate? Judge for yourself Is what Fitna says about Islam and the Qur’an accurate? See here. But it is not clear in the Wilders show trial whether or not truth is an adequate defense. “Court views anti-Islam film in Wilders hate speech trial,” from AP, October 6: The hate speech trial of politician Geert Wilders […]
