This television appearance (thanks to Awake) is not the first time Rauf has turned the prospect of Muslim rage into a veiled threat against those who speak critically of Islam or behavior by Muslims, and implied that Muslims cannot control themselves in response. Note how, in his remarks below, “radicalized” Muslims are only reactors to […]

Egypt: At least 9 dead as army fires live ammo at Christians, “Muslim youths” firebomb monastery
CNN reports all of the known fatalities are Christians, though it masks the genesis of this incident under the term “sectarian clashes” and describes the cause as “a feud between a Muslim and a Coptic family,” continuing yet again the pattern of downplaying Muslim aggression against Christians as the product of reciprocal “strife.” As AINA […]
Egypt: Christian shot and killed in clashes following destruction of church by Muslims
Remember what started all of this. A relationship between a Christian man and a Muslim woman, and a mob of thousands of outraged Muslims. And note how the attack on the church is described in the passive voice below: “Christians were protesting for the second day over a church in Helwan on the outskirts of […]
Egyptian protestor at women’s rally: “We rule by the Qur’an and the Qur’an does not allow a woman to rule men”
Qur’an 4:34 attaches a woman’s value to obedience (“good women are obedient”), and gives men the right — from Allah’s own command — to beat (yes, beat) women from whom they “fear disobedience.” The spirit of that verse is alive and well in those who turned out to grope, shove, belittle, and shout at the […]
Australia: New South Wales police tracking 12 cases of “extremist” terror threats
Of which we can all rest assured at least 11 are Bible study groups for Anglican youth, right? “Top cop tells of shift in terror threat,” by Paul Maley for The Australian, March 9 (thanks to SSL): The terror threat posed by extremists is alive and well, says the head of the NSW Police counter-terrorism […]
At women’s march in Egypt, men prove women’s point by scolding, shoving, beating, groping them, and telling them to “go home where they belong”
“Men scolded protesters and said their concerns were not urgent in the aftermath of the uprising.” Women and non-Muslims have heard that before. Just be patient. Now is not a good time to rock the boat — not when “reforms” are coming, however slowly. And we’ve heard that sort of claim answered before: “Frankly I […]
Project Veritas video: NPR hobnobs with undercover reporters posing as Muslim Brotherhood front group, VP rails against “white, middle-America, gun-toting racists”
In this video from Project Veritas, Ron Schiller, NPR Foundation’s senior VP for development, laments the lack of “educated elites,” says the Republican Party has been hijacked by Tea Partiers who are a “weird Evangelical kind of move [sic],” and talks about “Islamophobia,” xenophobia, and the need for more Muslim voices in the media. What […]
Peter King gets security upgrade after hostile phone calls, threats from overseas
It has turned out to be quite instructive that after all of organizers’ most over-the-top efforts to ensure Rep. King’s hearings are virtually free from potentially controversial opinions about Islam and the behavior of Muslims, the opposition has nonetheless continued to be so ferocious. It bears repeating again: They doth protest too much. Despite what […]
Feds and cops: Peter King is right; not many tips from Muslim community
No kidding! “Rep. Pete King is right, say feds and cops: We don’t get many tips from Muslim community,” by Michael MacAuliffe, Rocco Parascandola, and Alison Gendar for the New York Daily News, March 8 (thanks to all who sent this in): Cops and federal agents agree with Rep. Pete King that they don’t get […]
U.K.: Muslim who burned war memorial symbols and shouted insults about British troops works part-time, gets £792 a month in state benefits
Don’t curse the kuffar with your mouth full, Choudhury. An update on this story. “Poppy-burning Muslim extremist says he will wear fine as ‘badge of honour’,” from the Telegraph, March 8 (thanks to Twostellas): Emdadur Choudhury, 26, a member of Muslims Against Crusades (MAC), was convicted of public disorder after burning two poppies during the […]
