The report below says it outright: “The police are afraid of being accused of Islamophobia.” In such a politically correct culture within the local government, that accusation could end their careers and ruin their livelihoods. It seems almost certain that the reluctance to confront the problems in Tower Hamlets is not entirely the product of […]

That had to be awkward: CIA chief Panetta confronts Pakistan with evidence of its double game
The evidence included video footage of jihadists evacuating a bomb-making facility after they were apparently alerted by elements within Pakistani intelligence about a planned raid. By the time Pakistani troops arrived, the facilities were empty. “CIA chief confronts Pak over collusion with militants,” from the Press Trust of India, June 11 (thanks to Sanjay): Islamabad/Washington: […]
Egypt: “This is a Christian son of a bitch. We’re going to kill him.”
Here is yet another story illustrating how the rise of Islamic groups in post-revolutionary Egypt is making the country more dangerous for non-Muslims. Reality has run contrary to the politically correct article of faith that Islam is tolerant of other religions in line with the Western understanding of the concept of religious tolerance, and thus […]
War is deceit: Syria imported large amounts of equipment for nuke program under pretense of “civil purposes”
Another page out of the Iranian playbook. “‘Syria’s nuclear plant linked to 3 other facilities’,” from the Jerusalem Post, June 12: The suspected Syrian nuclear facility in Deir al-Zor was linked to three other facilities in the country, London-based Al-Hayat reported quoting excerpts from an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report released Sunday.

How about that: Pakistan agrees to target jihadists who launch attacks over border into Afghanistan
Now there’s a useful concept, some ten years into the war. Of course, how the pledge works out in practice remains to be seen. “Afghanistan: Pakistan to target insurgents,” by Amir Shah and Jon Gambrell for the Associated Press, June 12: KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) “” Pakistan has agreed to target the hide-outs of Taliban fighters […]
Egyptian imam: “When I want a sex slave, I just go to the market and choose the woman I like and purchase her”
This is the second Islamic spokesman to speak out in favor of sex slavery in recent days. And that should come as no surprise: taking women captive and enslaving them as concubines is sanctioned by the Qur’an: “And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is […]

Turkey: Concert dedicated to inter-religious tolerance canceled after threats from Islamic supremacist groups
The IHH, which sent last year’s jihad flotilla to Gaza, appears to be behind this. Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate, secular (for now) Turkey: “Mideast: Turkey Cancels ‘3 Religions’ Concert, Israel Dismayed,” from ANSAmed, June 10 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – TEL AVIV, JUNE 10 – Israel has reacted with disappointment to the last-minute […]
Toronto mosque again caught advocating stonings and amputations, persecution of non-Muslims
The Khalid bin al-Walid mosque near Toronto has a well established history of cursing unbelievers (particularly Jews) and Muslims who show any sign of integrating with Western societies. There has just emerged another report on the content of their website via the blog BlazingCatFur, which was picked up by this Canadian news show: Brian Lilley’s […]
Tolerant New Egypt: “When they were beating me, they kept saying: ‘We won’t leave any Christians in this country'”
It is a politically correct article of faith that there is nothing inherently abusive in Sharia law that cannot be written off as tribal or cultural baggage, or as a prescription so old (14 centuries ago, after all!) that it is assumed no longer to be relevant even to sincere believers — at least not […]
